Thank you so much Dr.Nate. I spent nearly 5 years at Dental School without properly understanding the concepts of rubber bands but finally, I have tremendously improved. Your videos are awesome. Keep sharing more Videos

Hi, i am a dental assistant for general dental practice, and I don't have any experience in the orthodontic area. I would like to apply for the opening positions they posted all the time, but I am afraid of doing so because of the lack of experience. I am watching your videos, and I think it is not that difficulty. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills with us.

Hi! I noticed your comment and thought maybe I could reply- I am an Ortho assistant now with no previous training in the Dental field at all. There are practices that will be willing to hire you with no previous ortho experience.

Hi, I was wondering how much class III elastics move teeth per month on average, when it comes to the space between the arches? Do class III elastics also even out sides if one side is bigger than the other, and thus fix the midline?

Hello! thanks for the video. I am on braces now because I do have overjet teeth. I have been told by my ortho to put the rubber bands just at night to push back the upper teeth and bring out the lower teeth. But I have been wearing it over 6 months and whenever i remove the rubber bands during the day for maybe 12 hours, the upper teeth starts to shift out a little. Any advise on that as my teeth is actually ready to remove braces and to put retainers.

How does your bite stay in place after elastics are removed and you don’t have to worry anymore? No one has been able to answer that question. I’m getting worried.

I noticed in every video I watch about elastic. The elastics are placed on teeth that are part of the horizontal wire that I have in my upper teeth. My dentist is making wear the elastic in teeth that are not part of the horizontal wire and I see the elastic is pulling my teeth off my gums like a self extraction.!!...my question is. Are these elastics only to be put on on the teeth that are part of the horizontal wire because this is not how I have it in the teeth??

I have penguin elastics :) such a cute name! Mine are currently not in any of the formations mentioned here. I started on canine to canine, now have to initially hook my elastic on the third tooth back from the canine over the hooks of the upper canine and attach to the lower canine. Sort of like an L shape inverted. I assume it's because it brings my jaw forward to fix my bite :)

Hi Dr. 1_ usually at what stage of treatment you ask your pat. to use the elastics? 2_ at what type of wire we can use them..and at what guage? 3_ are they useful in adult pat. and can acheive good result ? thank you so much Dr. God bless you.
