I just got my braces 2 weeks ago. I have an overjet and my rubber bands are hooked on the inside of my top molar to my lower canine. I also have triangle bands. At night for sleeping I use a rubber band that looks like a rainbow. Where my rubber band hooks to my bottom canine, then over my front teeth, hooked to my other bottom canine. It’s a lot, I’m still getting used to it!

Is a sort of older video and it was really easy to understand but I was wonder if I would need rubber bands because my dentist said that I have a cross bite.

@wiktoriastankowska1608 8 ай бұрын

What about having them going from the back of the top 5th ---> bottom 3rd on both sides? (: Also I have some sort of glue put on both bottom 7ths, so now my bottom and top teeth do not come together any longer

I’m 56yrs old and have had traditional braces on since March with rubber bands right from the start. It’s now Late sept and I’m now w with triangles. My teeth have moved so fast and dramatically straighter. Should I be concerned that IT IS TOO FAST? Someone told me they moved his teeth too fast and both his upper canines died. Can this really happen?😮

Hi! I was at a class II elastics for about 8 weeks but noticed my overbite started becoming and underbite. I told my dentist today about it, and he changed the elastis to triangle 3 upper 4 5 bottom. Do you know why he might have done this?? My top teeth and bottom teeth are now touching, and they hurt because they bump into each other when i eat/talk 😭

@thrivedental I’m wearing a triangle on left side to keep teeth in place (I believe class one) and class two on right side to get it into class one. My dentist says that’ll fix my midline and get right side into class one. I’ve been wearing medium rubber bands since I started treatment. I wonder if I need a stronger strength rubber band? November, I’ll be in braces for three years. 😅

Hmmm may need to go stronger but the type of rubber bands you are wearing makes sense.

hi, dr. coughlin! is it okay to attach rubber bands from my first molar to the lateral insicors? i just got my bands yesterday and that was how my dentist showed me how to put my bands, but i see in others that their rubber band only goes far to the canines.

@Priva_C 10 ай бұрын

I'm wearing mine on the last 2 molars top and bottom, kangaroo bands. What class is this? I can't find an example like this anywhere. It's so difficult to put these on. Sometimes it's 2 minutes, other times it's 30 minutes. I miss the triangle 😢 that took 5 seconds or less to put on.

@Priva_C 10 ай бұрын

Update: I was determined to find a solution and did 🙌 These are box elastics, not sure which class. It's basically the shape of a box attaching from the last 2 top/bottom molars. The easiest way to install them from my experience so far is to start from the bottom molars and work your way to the top molars. To my understanding, the goal of this method is to close the gaps on my bottom teeth amongst other things beyond my knowledge.

Bcz.. i only want to correct my underbite ,,.....is my dentist correct ?

@timschulze4162 2 ай бұрын

You want to finish on an overbite. That’s the ideal position. Wear your elastics and your underbite becomes a healthy overbite

Hi, I wear triangle elastics, but my Doctor taught me to do it like this symbol (^) So the two lower jaw teeth are not connected, hopefully I am making sense. My question is, is this way correct too?

I have heard braces are not an effective option, once your braces gets removed, your bite(previously open bite) again goes back to previous condition, Is this just a myth or a fact?

@taniardzg 9 ай бұрын

Hello, Dr. I am extremely concerned about the the way my sons teeth turned out after braces. He got his braces removed 2 weeks ago and his teeth are flaring up. He didn’t have this issue before braces. Can this be corrected and how. Thank you in advance.

@ThriveDentist 9 ай бұрын

Yes this likely can be corrected with IPR or if you want to go really extreme you could also extract teeth but this all means ortho treatment again :(

How many mm can rubber bands shift? For example, if the teeth were over jet 7mm, would rubber band only shift 2mm then stop? or what

Will it work while mewing because in mewing our lower teeth comes forward

@catherineb6889 2 ай бұрын

That's not the right mewing form, you need your mouth closed and create a vacuum with your tongue to the roof of your mouth, rubber bands help slightly because they keep your mouth closed

I have class 3 rubber bands, and they were sore from the first day to maybe the third day. After that, they really don't bother me. I think the worst thing is the ba ds rubbing the inside of your cheeks and mouth, but it's nothing too bad, just a little aggravating. Hope all goes well with your braces journey!

@andreamolineros9805 9 ай бұрын

Yeah I change mine about 3-4 times a day, you should take them out while eating and put a fresh pair in after. I think it’s to keep the endurance of the elasticity at all times when you’re wearing them.
