Thank you so much for these videos. My daughter got hers yesterday and is in so much pain. Some of the information you’re giving, they provided at the visit, but it’s so much to remember at the time. I just reviewed two of your vids already and they’re super helpful. So glad we found you and that you do them every week. Very grateful for these!! Thank you again!

I love this video. However, floss pick will not remove food particles behind the wires and between teeth. Most interdental brushes and toothpicks bend and can hurt the gums. This is the reason I created the gap picker.

Thank you so much

i feel like i’m in hell ever since i got these god forsaken things

[@JayzJaqs]

Got mine today hope they don’t hurt 😅

[@obada.]

Same, got mine today 😂

[@gentianagashi4390]

Same, got mine today already thinking of taking them off

[@nickftheanimecat4852]

Thanks for the warning I have to get them tomorrow

[@setn111]

@@nickftheanimecat4852 it’s been 3 months, and honestly it’s just the first 2 weeks that sucks. You’ll get used to it, eating isn’t as hard as u think just rinse with water after or gargle it then swallow to get stuff stuck in ur teeth out👍

[@jacquelinextine1571]

Your videos are so informative thanks. Just had my braces three hours ago. Didn’t know any of these

[@ThriveDentist]

Glad it was helpful!

[@anychaffey2048]

You’re so informative. Thank you. I just got my braces and I got no education on what to expect or look forward to. So, thank you 😊

[@user-px8bi8ef5n]

The dentist himself has amazing teeth!

[@channeling2]

Just had my braces put in 4 weeks ago but I don’t understand why my first appointment for braces adjustment is not until the end of March. I thought it’s a bit too long. What’s your opinion doc? You think it’s a mistake? Thanks

[@ThriveDentist]

Seems a little long so I would call the office to confirm.

Hi Doc! I am a aspiring dentist/orthodontist and was wondering about your take on dental school. Some other dentists said that were you go to school doesn't really matter and no one asks so you might as well go to a school that costs less. What do you think? Should you go to a prestigious school like Harvard or the University of Michigan or go to a school that costs less? Also, I love the videos that you made about tips to get your teeth whiter and get out of braces faster. Keep it up :)

[@imbilta]

Your videos help a lot! Thank You. If you get a chance, could you explain the different stages of correcting crooked teeth? What happens at each stage? What factors delay process.. for example age, diet, diseases...?

[@ezekielomodion4930]

I just got my braces and was given the Christmas tree brushes…do I have to change them after first use or continuously use them for a week and then change em ?

[@cherisewilson2409]

I really appreciate this video 🇹🇹

[@marinatoula3154]

Hi Doc! I just watched some of your videos and you said that you studied in University of Southern California. Did you do there your undergraduate studies and then went to a dental school and if so where did you go for dental school? Thank you so much :)

[@ThriveDentist]

Yup went to USC for dental school as well.

[@gcngreshma.p6370]

Hy doc! I put my braces almost 1year before but still I'm having gap inbetween my teeth I'm planning to travel for my higher studies can I travel with this or not? What's your opinion please help me to figure it out

[@linzistamler8349]

What do the colours do

[@ThriveDentist]

They keep the wire in place.

[@rheacrawford3032]

Thank u so so much this video was super helpful.

[@christianekrueger9615]

That was a very good and informative video. Thank you very much

[@ThriveDentist]

Glad I could be of some help. Thank you!

[@bensontwikirizane7855]

I have a problem with my teeth, where can I find you

[@abigailvanzyl3388]

How to you reverse the over grow gums?

[@abigailvanzyl3388]

I didn't get the started kit

[@linzistamler8349]

How do you fix a broken bracket, on the molar

[@ThriveDentist]

Either just replace it with a new bracket or place a metal band on it.

[@sarahdupont1336]

😂😂😂😂🐺☄️🔥

[@kokomonster5929]

I think, I already watched most of your videos before getting braces. Very informative as always. Thank you! ❤

[@leonadior8640]

Waterpick is not in your recommandation to clean the braces, what not ?? You are mentioning the silly useless little dental brushes which are not good at all !!!!!! I would not trust you are as a orthodontist, you are not true to you to clients, shame. I had lingual braces for 2/5 years, and only the WATERPICK kept my mouth 100% clean.

[@pocahontas6381]

Wow! I believe your a little old to be acting this way. Be mature in the comment sections. 😊

[@armibernadetteasuncion4836]

Was wondering about that too. A lot of dentists I watch would actually recommend using that right off the bat
