Phases of Tx & Wire Sequence

[@sobersaber494]

I'm definitely at the thickest wire, because the pressure I felt right after and the next day is nothing I've ever experienced. Great video!

[@johnnyerazo2360]

Don’t underestimate the pain

[@Yaasssme]

That actually very scary 🫣 my pain in the beginning was excruciating so I’m scared of the last step

[@LBJdachosen1]

i got 4 teeth missing and i was told to use elastics with a round wire while i have still some unresolved alignment and spacing issues. i dont remember we've ever used rectangular ones before. my whole body crunched in stress, so many problems showed up, needed a root canal for one teeth and we gave up on elastics. i've experienced narrow skewed arch, too much closed space for the missing incisor with tmj problems and with all that at least 7 seemingly unrelated physical problems from postural, neurological to dermatological ones and of course its psychological traumatic effects. i needed to learn dental stuff instead of my profession, gave a break to my job 2 years ago, and still no clear sight ahead. this treatment is not a joke but somehow some orthodontists are not aware of the consequences of what they are doing. i wish every ortho would be a clear communicator like you. thanks for the videos, these explanations has given me clear understanding of its technicality. if you have any suggestions, i'd also be appreciated.

[@nikaaaa221]

I remember I heard my ortho asked his assistant to bring him a "0.018 lower" and I searched it in the internet like crazy and found your vid! Well informative! This is the 1st wire replacement I got which means this is the 2nd wire.

[@email16v]

In braces. Great lesson. Enjoy the sound effects too! Update: I had my 24-month visit today. Still in phase II. I got thicker arch wires and am still wearing bands to close space. Can't wait to phase III and out of these braces. Although wearing a retainer doesn't sound like much fun either.

[@태이씨]

This is super helpful, thank you! My orthodontist couldn't really explain anything he did, and i couldn't live not knowing how it all works. Im already on retainers, i didn't have to wear elastics and it took about a year and a half, thankfully. Also before braces i wore something that looked like a plastic retainer but it moved my teeth away from each other and created gaps between them to uncrowd. I never heard of that thing before.

[@osmana.soorma1214]

Very nicely explained. Please advise the 0.17 x 0.25 Niti wires are round or rectangular and the detailing wire 0.16 x 0.22 SS is round or rectangular. Please advise the duration of wear for space closing and detailing wire

[@likeabossproductions1254]

Both of those wires are rectangular, thus the two numbers to describe the wire’s dimensions. Those wires are used for as long as you need to get all the spaces closed and all the detailing done. Usually that’s about 6 months each but it can vary depending on the needs of the patient.

[@iwastubed96]

Thank you so much for this informative video!

[@dianizahra9763]

How if my doctor using the same wires with all of the ortho treatment? Like he using the same wire to do the alignment, space closing & elastics, and also for the detailing..

What brackets do you use Roth or MBT? 018 or 022?

[@likeabossproductions1254]

Currently I use .018 Roth but I used to use .022 MBT. Both are great!

[@pradnyeshsuke7640]

On which wire elastics ,coils are used plz suggest and reason

[@likeabossproductions1254]

We place open coil spring on any wire when we need to open space. We start elastics when we place .017x.025 NiTi wires. Feel free to watch my other videos on open coil springs, elastics, etc for more info. 👍

[@Drorinshaim]

This helped me a lot.. Thank yiu sooo much 🖤🖤🖤

[@jspankin]

one what wire is midline elastics placed on?

[@MaggieMorrissey1916]

Thank you. That was very helpful

[@zxracer04]

Everyone has a different arched mouth, so does it matter which NiTi arch you use?

[@likeabossproductions1254]

Most orthodontists choose an arch shape they like and treat everyone with those wires. Some orthodontists keep several arch shapes on hand and use the arch shape that most closely matches the patient’s original arch shape. They feel that this helps with retention of the final result. The downside is that you have to maintain a much larger inventory of arch wires which is why most orthodontists just choose a shape they like and use that for everyone, justifying it with the knowledge that everyone will need lifetime retention to keep the teeth straight anyway so why not make their arch shape more “ideal”. 🤷‍♂️

[@قطراتالمطر-ه2ر]

Hi Dr. you meant we can use a power chain to close spaces on rectangular 17*25 NiTi? If so , Is this going to cause a roller coaster effect on the teeth?

[@ryanwood6752]

I was always taught that it would but my partner and I have been closing spaces with power chain and sentiloy springs on 17x25 Niti wires for the last 4 years with little to no roller coaster effect. Closing spaces on stainless steel wires is the more traditional way to do it, though, and does have less risk of getting roller coaster effect (assuming you're using the same size wire in SS vs NiTi).

can first premolar extraction is needed in case of deep bite with no crowding in teeth?

Thank you alloooooot ,that's what i was looking for Thank you

[@vishwavyas-mw1iu]

Wearing double elastics will hasten the process ? I have 4 tooth extraction and overbite

[@likeabossproductions1254]

I would recommend following the recommendation of your orthodontist because they know what’s going on in your particular situation. Usually one elastic on each side, if worn 24 hours per day, will be sufficient to correct the occlusion. If you want to wear two elastic, I would check with your orthodontist before doing so.

[@reardelt]

I was always confused what my dentist said when he was putting 0.014 x 0.025 wire. What does that mean?

[@reardelt]

Got this now after I saw your video. Your video is awesome.

[@reardelt]

ALongside the 'regular' flat archwires, there are also the "reverse curve of Spee" wires too right?

[@likeabossproductions1254]

Correct. Those help to level the lower arch of a straight wire isn't getting the job done. Some orthodontists use them a lot, some a little, and some not at all.

[@afshaari8249]

At..6:54 is that you said the round niti wire will make the tooth to go to front?..im not quite understand

[@likeabossproductions1254]

I was explaining that the round NiTi wire will correct the rotation and height of the tooth but cannot correct the torque (what I show with my hands at 7:00). A rectangular wire that's large enough to fill the bracket slot is needed to correct the torque.

[@Alishbaaliza40]

[@muhammadali9787]

Greatfull, helped alot.

[@dr.parthkapadia5010]

Any other particular role of rectangle niti? Like my senior says it expands the arch??

[@likeabossproductions1254]

If the patient's arch is narrower than the arch form of the wire, rectangular NiTi and/or rectangular SS wires can expand the arch to match the size and shape of the arch form of the wire. It seems like most of that "expansion" though is dental tipping rather than skeletal expansion like you'd get from an expander.

[@Sht97]

Hello, doctor I have a question about the wire is the top wire the same as the bottom wire in shape? For instance, the top and bottom wires are nickel titanium so would the shape be the same or not? Thanks in advance.

[@likeabossproductions1254]

Arch wires come in many shapes and you can order the arch shape that you prefer. In addition, each arch shape has a maxillary arch wire and a mandibular arch wire. The difference is that the maxillary arch wire is the same shape but just slightly broader or larger than the mandibular arch wire such that if you set the mandibular arch wire on the table inside the maxillary arch wire, there would be a uniform gap of 1-2 mm between the two arch wires all the way around. Most orthodontists use maxillary and mandibular arch wires in their respective arches to keep the arches and the occlusion coordinated.

[@Sht97]

@@likeabossproductions1254 Thank you so much, that was very clear and informative. I really appreciate it.

[@pingmacalos500]

Hello doc! What ortho book will u recommend?

[@likeabossproductions1254]

The most widely used textbook for Ortho is Contemporary Orthodontics by Profitt. Excellent book. It’s not even close to a replacement for attending an orthodontic residency program after dental school, though, so please keep that in mind when deciding if you’re going to start doing Ortho cases in your dental practice. It’s very easy to get in over your head if you’re not extremely careful. 👍

[@S_uperb]

For arch expansion upper side which wire is recommended because I have cross bite!

[@likeabossproductions1254]

Crossbite correction is best achieved with an expander. An expander can be used before early-mid teens, or so, to widen the upper jaw to correct the crossbite. Generally, archwires are not strong enough to expand the upper jaw, they’ll just tip the back teeth out toward the cheeks which is not a healthy position for them.

[@S_uperb]

I am 25 🙄 what is best for me [ removable expander ] or what? [Invisalign] . Edit - by the way thanks for your reply I'm struggling with my teeth problem. Hope your opinion can bring some positivity in my treatment decisions 😉

[@likeabossproductions1254]

If the cross bite of your back teeth is due to your back teeth being tipped in toward your palate but your upper jaw has the proper width, that can be treated by tipping those back teeth with braces or Invisalign. However, I’d your posterior cross bite is due to a narrow upper jaw, that would need to be treated by correcting the narrow upper jaw. For a 25 year old that would require either surgical widening if the upper jaw (expensive and painful) or by using a MARPE. Not all orthodontist do MARPEs so you’d need to find one that does them. If after researching MARPEs you decide it’s too much, your orthodontist can always line your teeth up as best he/she can and get the bite as good as they can while leaving the cross bite in place.

[@S_uperb]

@@likeabossproductions1254 ohhh informative even my orthodontist also prefer surgery but I'm scared of the process, so is removable expander can be used ? To expand the arch [ if I use 2-3 removable expander, because my dentist said removable appliances are not that powerful or effective that much .

[@likeabossproductions1254]

Your orthodontist is correct, removable expanders are not very effective and would be totally ineffective for expanding the upper jaw of an adult.

Do you think there’s any way someone could design brackets that don’t cut up your mouth and rub you raw on the inside of your lips surely I’m not the first person that ask this bright idea . Possibly dome shaped. Hence doing away with the bull crap wax that doesn’t do anything at all for me anyways .. orthodontist also need to quit telling people that you’ll only be sore for 2 to 3 days and then you can resume eating regular food.

[@ancarwillis9060]

When I started I asked my ortho how long he believed I needed braces for and he was just like “Yes”. It will take more than two years. Like what? That said I guess the phases can take a different amount of time depending on your condition. I had impacted Canines. I spent 8 months wearing an appliance just to make space for the tooth to come in. Then it has been little over a year getting the tooth down into the arch and It just now got to a point where they can put a bracket on. Lol thought I was getting close and now I find out I’m not even done with phase one and that’s not even the longest part lol fml.
