[@AkaiNeko99]

Yup same. My Ortho just puts on random colours , lucky she chooses pale colours like very light blue, silver. I would flip if she put bright colours without asking

[@PlaestineWillBeFree]

[@mjargon18]

I've been binge-watching all your videos. Thanks for the awesome content Dr. Greg! I have high gums which makes my lower teeth looks like being covered by my upper teeth. Hoping you could also make a video on how to correct that condition as well. Big thanks!

[@teletalk101]

I'm getting braces on September 11, so the countdown is on. I'll have to get an incisor out first, though, so I'm feeling quite nervous. Your braces videos have been super helpful, making the process easier because I now understand what's going to be used and why.

Nice to finally know the name! I have them on my front, top and bottom. I also have these springs on the 2 bottom teeth.

Hi doctor Greg, you really love your job

[@jenniferleon2382]

Hi! Love your videos. They have helped me out so much. I got my upper braces put in 5 weeks ago and my first tightening 2 days ago. I got this procedure done but on my front teeth and they were individually tied instead of how it was done in your video. Is it the same? No pain though… just a little irritation that wax can help out with. Have a great day!

[@nikketoie]

Great content as always!

[@DrGregAsatrian]

Thank you so much!

[@ilov3poppy]

Wow. I just got lace last Wednesday. First time I’m hearing of it so I had to research.

[@akina_here]

Just got my lace ties installed on six of my bottom front teeth after 5/6 months since I have braces, could instantly feel the mild pressure. I like it, it looks nicer than elastics.

[@rinaboro1030]

Same here. It's not painful. Is it effective?

[@anniezhou1337]

Very informative video and explained well! Thank you :)

[@TheHoneyblossomx3]

Today I got lace ties on the bottom! Thanks for the explaination!!!

[@twobraceletsisters5104]

I watch all your videos and my orthodontist is really surprised about my knowledge about this 😂

I have a lace tie on. I wanted to understand it’s function, great description thank you😊

[@Rosemvry.c]

Can you explain the different types of rubber bands

[@jamaicanisis]

Christina Rosemary he did in one of his recent videos

[@lovelydolltime8006]

One of them is called bummer because rubber bands are a bummer to wear.

[@aznstefani]

Can’t wait for my ebook!!!

[@AzzaUAE]

Thank you so much for sharing. I got braces for the second time and I find your videos informative. Can you please make a video about moving front incisors 3 unit dental bridge with mini-screws ?

[@aadimoolah88]

My othro placed lace ties on my front teeth with power chains. Why would this have been done? I love your explanations. My othro doesn't explain anything and gets defensive when I ask questions. She didn't say she was putting on the lace ties. I came here to understand what they are for. Great videos!

[@wendyzhang918]

Dr. Greg, can you please make a video about impacted canines and how braces would help treat and straighten in coming canines?

[@wendyzhang918]

Curly girly The canine will eventually come down? Because my orthodontist only said there’s a possibility that it will come in after putting on braces and after I extract the four teeth next to my canines to make space, if not there might have to be a surgical procedure to invite in that missing canine. And right now it’s not looking too good. My front row seems to be shifting towards one side and it they’re quite slanted....

[@lovelydolltime8006]

@@wendyzhang918 Just be glad there's room for yours, because there's no room for both my lower left canine, and the incisor it's under. Either way, 1 has to go due to overcrowding.

[@jaima4597]

Lovely Doll Time haha mine is EVEN worse. all my canines are impacted and my premolars have to be extracted. There is literally NO space at all. It hurts like hell but I guess I can hold on tit for a couple more months

[@saddie370]

I love u u show me so much I had no idea Lace ties existed

[@zabertpogi]

Doc I have this bracket that always falls off. My dentist suggested a customized mouth guard for me since raiser bite haven't been effective to me. Would that also be your suggestion? ☺️

[@kapusanetwork]

My 4 front teeth are on this lace tie and there are 2 power chain anchored on both sides. I am looking for answers on what isits purpose. This video exactly answers it. Great job! Nice content.

[@5755632]

What would lace tie do to front four teeth? Can you please explain me?

[@kristyo1645]

My dentist used these when she tried to do my braces. She called them "over-unders". It was to hold teeth on one side together while using power chains and springs to close space on just one side. Only the force used created a slight cross bite somehow? on my front teeth. So something wasn't working quite right...also my midline moved over about 1mm in the wrong direction...so sadlythose over-unders didn't completely work for me, to prevent them moving. I am now with an orthodontist who is using elastics on one side and power chain to close the space on the one side. He may use tads if needed at some point. Speaking of elastics... QUESTION: What does an elastic, on one side, from tooth 6 (top) to 4 (bottom) do? Will that correct bite and/or midline?

[@ryellebunagan4136]

Very helpful video, recently got lacetie and im very curious about it

[@linlinthedinosaur]

I got lace ties, but didn't realize I had them until I saw them a day after my appointment. I am a bit confused why they were put on when I personally still see a gap between the teeth, but I am still really new with them I have only had them for 2 months

I think i do have lace ties except theyre “tighter”? Theyre fully twisted between each bracket, and not just one criss cross (just like what you did at the end before tucking it behind the bracket) THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEOS ❤️

[@sae1019qtpie]

Got these today.

[@b2utyana]

I had my full lace ties + powerchain for the first time after 7 months with my braces. And right now I had pain on my right upper teeth. I couldnt let water go through on that side it really painful. I had to drink on my left side only. Same goes when I had to use my mouthwash, I couldnt keep it too long inside my mouth to gargle. I just went through quickly and spit as fast as I can because it will be very painful. Is it normal?

[@darknytestudios]

I have adult braces. I had overcrowding and had 4 extractions (which were very painful for about 2 weeks because I had braces on for 3 months at this point.) Once I was in for my next appointment I had lace ties put on to help close the gaps. Let me tell you that appointment for the last 3 months when they twist those ties always feels like my teeth are going to get pulled outta the sockets! No idea how much longer they are gonna be one, but I just hope I dont have to have them on longer than the 2 years they estimated because I am adult vs a child.

[@shadyabdelrahman6488]

Hello Dr. Thank you for your effort , I'm a big fan , I've a question , is it effective to tie the molars and premolar with ligature wire to act as anchorage when retract a canine to fix overget? 2nd question , a case with cross bite at left side and normal bite at right side , do I have to anchor the right normal side with ligature wire while using niti?? 🙏

[@craigbather6316]

What is a crossbite never heard of one of those before

[@sadiekampsula5174]

I just got braces in june and I have a cross bite. You just get regular braces and later on you'll just wear rubber bands in a specific way

[@denisegordon5144]

I also have a cross bite and been wearing braces from last year October. Mine has caused tmj issues and make wearing elastic painful. I've seen a lot of changes and I'm hopeful it will be off sooner than the 30 months

[@OhNo-jq6iz]

Rubber bands !!!!

[@OhNo-jq6iz]

@@craigbather6316 your top teeth (in the front) are naturally supposed to “rest” outside of your bottom teeth when you bite down/close your mouth. A cross-bite is when one or more teeth are out of this alignment, like a canine that might tuck behind the bottom teeth rather than in front. It “crosses” over the imaginary line/fence thats supposed to exist vertically. When ALL the bottom teeth and/or the bottom jaw itself juts out ahead of all the top teeth, it becomes more of an “underbite”.

[@shaullaguialam17]

Is it really 24 brackets to put on a teeth? Or depending on a situation of the teeth? Thank you sir

[@isabellacagley2407]

What retainer(s) are best when you corrected an overbite

Your videos helped me get through the first few weeks comfortably so thank you! As a side note it’s been 3 weeks since I had braces put on and for most soft foods I can eat easily, Sometimes when I try to bite off a hamburger or hotdog however it hurts in one particular area or tooth, is this the teeth moving and still getting accustomed?
