I got my braces on only the upper teeth...it's been 3 days and it's sore n tender...i could feel the pressure... waiting to get that cute smile which was a biggest wish ever...I'm 30 now😢😢

[@Chad-pi5if]

I am scheduled for my first wire change in 2 days. U must have gotten your 1st wire change Does it hurt?

[@AuntieStephInAZ]

Hi! I'm on day 2 with uppers only-until August, and I'm almost 39 😁 I love that our generation is finally getting the treatment we needed 20 years ago!

[@evelynw2935]

Just had my first adjustment a couple days ago, and I swear I was only in the orthodontist's office for at most 7 mins lol 😅 (no change of wire).

[@socialmodels7350]

Me too mins lang di sakin

[@Wisteriapnix]

​@@socialmodels7350my dentist told me I'm gonna change wires every adjustment

[@zooyorksk8ter13]

Why no change to the wire?

[@rishtut]

oo nga bakit kaya di pala nag chichange ng wire kaka adjust lang kanina nung aken naputol wire ko kaya pinalutan lang tapos binayaran ko un kala ko kasali na sa bayad ko monthly ung wire hehe

[@d_u_d_e]

@@zooyorksk8ter13they look at the wire and the teeth and see if it is how its supposed to be but if it isnt, then they keep the wire for a little longer until its good enough for a new wire

[@bugloverspiderlover8490]

Luckily we live right near the orthodontist,so when I get my braces,going in for monthly appointments will be super quick!

[@quitemundane]

Oh so this is how they do it! I sometimes take a video during adjustments but from the side (so I wouldn’t be a nuisance). I never see the top view. This is cool. Thanks for sharing!

[@latitudemumbaibeyond4990]

Thanks for these videos I’m right now in the process of scheduling consults and all the videos have been very informative. I go this time next month for my consults. Then hopefully getting then on my vacation (40th birthday).

[@lorenamunoz1130]

Hi Dr. Nate, I really appreciate you taking your time to get this videos done. I’m interested in becoming an orthodontic assistant. Can you possibly make a video of all the different setups we need to know.?

[@markmohtar3503]

I agree, this would be a a great video. Though I’m sure it’s different for every office.

[@AnAdorableWombat]

My teeth better look just like his when my braces come off

[@elitenomad1]

Did it?

[@fungaljungal]

This is annoying. My mom’s car gets HORRIBLE gas mileage (and gas prices are so high). We have to drive an hour to get to my ortho appointment and it only takes a few minutes???? Lol, thanks for the vid

For anyone who is looking for this comment, I'm here to help! I got my braces 2 days ago, and it hurts to chew, I got upper braces only, since I have a crossbite, and it does hurt to chew, but it's not that bad. It depends on the person I guess but for me it hurts when I eat but it's not unbearable. I can eat stuff like chicken nuggets if I use the side of my mouth to chew slightly. It does hurt the sides of my mouth, and there is cuts, but I just distract myself and the pain goes away, I don't use painkillers, but I eat ice cream or something cold for pain. And apparently it takes 3-5 days or even a week for it not to hurt to chew down on food and to be able to eat normally. So it will take another few days for me but I'm looking forward to it! :)) Also apparently you feel the same discomfort when you get them refitted and they change wire so it'll be another 3-5 days pain when you do get them refitted. :D Good luck to everyone and if you have any questions ask me, and I'll try to answer them! :D Edit: Im also getting my braces off in eight months so a short amount of time for me since the cross bite isn't major and it wasn't a must to get braces I just wanted them to have straight teeth 💀🙏 Edit 2: had them for about 2 months now, and I have red ones now! They don't hurt anymore but now I have the problem of the wire sticking out a bit from one side😭😭 and it's not just the problem for these ones cuz before the last refitting they still came out from one side, also when u get them refitted, they don't hurt at all so scratch the 3-5 day pain, cuz there's none at all, it just feels normal :D

[@estheryakubu2092]

Just had mine two days ago and exactly how I feel… I take pain medication now and then

[@Triveal]

I’m an adult with braces and I haven’t seen any progress for the 6 weeks that I’ve had it, went for first appointment I think ortho didn’t see any change either so they’d just let me change the band color 😂 I think it was weird but I supposed it’s good to change band just in case those snap when brushing teeth, and I brush my teeth religiously 😅

[@Giffrincastle387]

It beens a year of you comment in this video now 2024 doubt you any progress ...? I too doesn't see any progress for 7 weeks that's why am asking

[@Triveal]

@@Giffrincastle387 you’re only 7 weeks you’re gonna go. My teeth is already straight per ortho said but they had forced me to get it even if the problem I had they said they can’t fix it. 😏 You’re going to be fine. My bottom teeth had straighten a little more within 12 weeks, and the top almost see no progress. I had gaps in my teeth ortho had to put wires to stop getting gaps.

[@polliepayton6601]

It’s been a nightmare for me! I got my braces on a month ago & 3 visits later b4 my 1 month, wires were poking me & the orthodontist said to me, u have a sensitive mouth; boy I lost it!!! Finally i got an other orthodontist & he saw the problem after 3 emergency visits!!! This has been a pain in the A**

[@joenzabriam156]

I can't believe i just put back my lost rubber XD Thank you for this video

[@quayspodcast5958]

Got my adjustment yesterday and they changed my wire and honestly it hurts 😅

[@carmelchul0]

That means it’s working 😊 I need mine adjusted because it doesn’t feel like I have braces in at all.

[@sharinailagan1431]

I already had gone in 3 adjustment sessions. Is it normal that I don't feel any pain even after adjustment. Most of the people with braces I've talked to said that it hurts when braces were adjusted so I'm little bit confuse

[@karimahwilliams9884]

Same

[@karimahwilliams9884]

I got my colour changed and I dont feel anything

[@SophiOnYt]

Sometimes you won’t feel sore, it’s still working slowly though

[@sonalihimasha5946]

You guys are lucky

[@nilzalae]

Can you tell the interval time between each session

[@jacobhale6503]

Is it supposed to hurt when they’re retightening? I asked my friends and they said it shouldn’t. They put the wire and then the bands and then start pulling on the wire.🗿 worst pain ever

[@gorgeousgracius1706]

Is it ok if the wire had not replaced for almost 1 year?

[@Ilyasibnali]

I don’t think I’ve gotten my wires changed in the past like 4 months is that okay????

[@priyankadey2620]

Did you see any change in these 4 months?

[@eliseqzr]

I am so confused rn, i have my braces for 3 months now and i am so confuse why theres no adjustments or what not just changing colors and theres no band? Or anythin. I feel like my doctor is cheatin on me hahahaha

[@SophiOnYt]

They have to go along with how fast your teeth move, you may only need the lightest force wire for quite a few months until they change it to a stronger wire, they can’t change it too soon because moving the teeth too fast may cause root resorption , meaning the roots shorten and then after braces u have less anchorage of the teeth in your jaw bone and they might fall out , so it’s important they do it slow

[@JLEQ9593]

Did they ever change yours and what month

[@taquerawilliams8066]

Are the colorful rubber bands just for fun or do they actually serve a purpose ? I’ve had braces for 3-4 years and always loved changing the colors

[@ThriveDentist]

They keep the wire in place. The wire is what really moves your teeth.

[@taquerawilliams8066]

Oh ok duh lol thanks !! Love your videos.

[@sncr_1y]

I have braces and I got them tightened, going back in march ( I have an overbite) and I wanted to know what happens after I get them tightened, do I get elastics, what happens?

[@Chad-pi5if]

How does it feel after you get your wire tightened. I mean does it hurt more than the first time when we got them. I am scheduled for my first wire change in 2 days. Plz reply

[@divinejudgement17]

Hey ur reply is much much needed .....i got my braces one year ago and from four months my orthodontist is not changing anything no wire no modules nothing ...she just changes my elastics .....she says that changing modules wire or anything is not required so she only changes the elastics ....also i have deep and over bite ...but still my overbite is not cured ......can i personally send uh my pics? ...if u can see and jst tell should i change my dentist or my treatment is going right or not?

[@10RandomFax]

How are you now?

[@jhntanallon]

Same it just my elastics.. I am also tracking my progress yet i dont see any changes

[@hopeadams821]

Okay I have a question, when you pay for your braces in full and you go in for appointments, do you get charged or is it included in your beginning payment?

[@ThriveDentist]

Typically you do not need to pay more.

[@kshitizmaharjan1259]

@@ThriveDentist I got my braces in a different country, how much will the readjustments cost me?

[@enrysiaa]

lies it kinda does hurt it feels like they are pressing down on my teeth so hard to the point where its gonna fall out

[@_siren_1233]

Same omg

[@nrmn1799]

Because braces put pressure on your teeth that make them weaker so it hurts when you or doctor touch it

How to placement braket

[@markmohtar3503]

Is there a difference between putting the colored ties over the bracket in a circle pattern as opposed to an x pattern? Thank you for the great video doctor!

[@ThriveDentist]

Thank you and yes the x pattern is sometimes needed to add more force to the wire.

[@bunny8352]

What are the springs for

[@McFilinton-mv7gp]

I thought they adjusted braces by tightening it

[@tydajhia3798]

Do they cut the wire ?

[@ThriveDentist]

We clip the back so it doesn't poke you

[@taylorsharelle9151]

How often do you replace the brackets?

[@emmawashburn2779]

Hi, fellow Orthodontic Assistant here. At my office, the doctors usually change/replace a bracket when broken OR if they want a tooth to move a specific way. It may have been put on one way from the beginning and towards end of treatment we do a repo or “repositioning” of the bracket.

[@jazzywazz6780]

They dont

[@kimtaejin7541]

Does teeth hurt every adjustment or not?

[@marpigamoh1537]

It's hurt for 5 to 6 days only

[@saddestcookie]

Bearded dr nate

[@whitefang-7713]

I need to skip braces adjustments for 5-6 months will that cause any big issue? I am wearing my braces already 5 months and have not skipped even once, but due to my work abroad i have to skip it. Thanks in advance

[@AnAdorableWombat]

It depends on what phase you are in braces and it will just prolong your treatment

[@calebmcgrath2577]

Are majority of your orthodontic procedures, any kind, take this little amount of time?

[@markmohtar3503]

I won’t speak on his behalf, but every appointment varies. Some appointments such as an appliance check, take very little time. Other appointments, such as adding brackets, can take 10-30 minutes depending on the situation. That is my experience.

[@ThriveDentist]

Mark has it right!
