Watch BEFORE Braces - Informed Consent

[@christopherjensen5007]

I'm 56 years old. It's NEVER too late to get braces! 73 days into the treatment and I'm loving them. I had an upper power chain and coil spring fitted today. I also have class 3 elastics. Your videos are very informative. Many thanks.

[@takeshinaka6R1P]

!! 55 with braces?! Welcome to the future.

[@lesliecrowell]

I’m 63. Starting treatment next week. 😊

[@grahdam8020]

I’m 12 I am getting braces But my dentist is Saying “oh ur not old enough yeah you gonna get brace when u r 13” I don’t think that is good Because like u said ITS NEVER TO LATE TO GET BRACES I see like 8 year olds with braces when I was 8 They said uhhhhh When ur 10 I WAS 10 THEY SAID “Uhhhhh yeah 12” I am 12 I’m having dentist in a week And maybe I’m getting braces so I searched up about braces And this guy Is good i like him But guys remember If someone says ur too young and ur like 9 it’s not fair and if they say that change ur dentist if ur like 17 Nahhh I’m kidding don’t change yo dentist if ur like 17 Maybe like 12 just it’s fine I’m still waiting if I’m getting my braces❤❤

[@Crazy_bitcv]

​@@grahdam8020 They always have a reason for what they're doing. Dont be angry at professionals just doing their job, most likely they're waiting for your teeth to grow as much as possible before getting braces. Im not that much older, im just 13, but im getting braces next month since all my permanent teeth grew in when i was 12. So they have had time to grow. I get you're inpatient, I am too! Cant wait until next month :,)

[@Xoxo.max.edits86]

I’m getting braces in about 3 days and im binge watching all ur vids they really help thank you so much!! (Update i got braces and thanks to ur vids i expected everything that was happening so thanks again)

[@thejavi2912]

Thank you for uploading again, going to get braces exactly one week from now...and kinda worried. Your videos have really helped me so far and this video is very helpful! Favorite KZbin to turn to for this topic!

[@DrGregAsatrian]

Glad I could help! Nothing to be afraid of but it's great to be informed about all the possible risks.. like i said, most likely none of these will occur =]

[@kraftytechniques8051]

Same I’m also kinda nervous 😬 😅

[@NotANoona]

Just got my braces yesterday! I've been watching your videos for the past months and it helped me a lot. thank you very much, Dr. Greg! I basically know what to do even before I went to the clinic

[@lesleyg.4548]

Thank you for doing my braces. I must say it was a struggle just to keep your my teeth clean and keeping up with appointments to insure that I was doing the right thing. My teeth looks so much better. This guy is a great doc for those that are wondering. It took 2 1/2 years for my braces j would upload a picture but on that note, his work is awesome.

[@justprettymakeup1281]

I’m a 58 yr old man (in England) and am getting upper and lower braces on 8th November; my teeth are pretty straight (very minor lower crowding has started over the last few years) but I have a deep bite that has got worse since I turned 50. I asked loads of questions and made sure I told my orthodontist what treatment I am or am not prepared to accept!

[@Rika-ny9ot]

Hey dr Greg, I'm a 19yo female and am geneticaly missing 8 teeth. I've been wearing reatiners and braces sice I was 8. It's been quiet a journey. If everything goes to plan I am going to get denal implants this summer. I'm super exited and scared (of how prevelant the complications are in a complex case like mine) I also started dental school this year and hope to bring smiles to peoples faces in the future. Sry for the bad english.

I would love for you to bring one of your oral surgeon colleagues along for a discussion. I'm getting ready to have my surgery in a couple of months to move my lower jaw forward to fix my overjet. Thanks for all your helpful and informative videos about braces, it's really helped me along my journey so far.

[@roylian3721]

This is so informative information! Appreciate it doc

[@DrGregAsatrian]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@justprettymakeup1281]

I’d love a video about “expectations”. I am admittedly a perfectionist and I’d like to know what is reasonable to expect. I am about a month or two away from getting them off. I always (respectfully) ask a bunch of questions at each appointment. I am nervous that I will be disappointed with the results. Also, can you break down expectations based on age if that is relevant to outcomes. Can we expect perfectly straight teeth if we follow the instructions?

[@rainbowpandasays8851]

Hey Dr.Greg , sending good vibes from Perris , CA. Wishing you the best. 👍

Is it possible if i have a short tooth, does braces can make that tooth pull and lined to the normal length teeth?

[@donnasperling9780]

I am 3 months into this journey. I’m 64 y/o. I would like to see if the mature adult journey has a lot of variations from a much younger brace recipient.

[@wolfgangrenner4152]

An important theme is how to avoid extractions and recessions together. When doing orthodontics for crowded teeth with adults, any "bone / head crowth" like with children is no longer available. So extraction therapy may be done. But doing a 4*4 extraction in adult age may result in loosening of 3 and 5 teeth. This loosening is often reported. An therapeutic answer would be, to rebuild the bone in this area with PFR technique like done in implantology. But this is not a common procedure, although a few documents about PRF technique around living teeth can be found. An alternative may be palate expansion. There the 6 Molars got strong forces to the outside, which may result in recessions, which may be expecially difficult to repair on upper molars. This may happen with children and adults the same. There may be alternatives to traditionals palate expansion with operative weakening of the palete before expansion or to use artificial anchor implants to save the teeth from strong expander forces. The next import theme to discuss is the early treatment of children. If using the time between 6 to 12 years for "smoothly" expanding / developing the jaws, perhaps extraction therapy can be avoided. Smooth child time expansion may be reached with loose activator / bionator / expansion plates or with fixed appliances which use thin wires and are worn over several years. This theme would be very worthful to discuss for parents, which want to avoid extractions therapy and want to get a treatment plan idea to reach conservative orthodontics without later recessions. You should discuss this theme in more detail !! And do not speak so nervously fast. This may save 10 % of video length, but it lowers the quality of speech and video production quality.

[@kacieboskey8358]

I had braces for several years as a teenager. I hated them. Food would get stuck. I'd nick my tongue on them. The tightening process made my entire mouth sore and it was hard to eat. I'm never going back to that.

And I have 4 dental crowns (one at bottom right, one at bottom left, one at top right, one at top left) crowns which are at top arch are ceramic ones and the bottom ones are stainless steel. I consulted an orthodontist he said leave the teeth as they are, it would be better off if we leave them without treatment. He said it wouldn't be possible with the crowns. He didn't even give me any options. Should I have to consult another orthodontist?

I've been wearing braces for a little over a year now. I am 41 years old. My face has changed significantly since I started the treatment and I was not prepared for that.

Hi doc I put on braces to open a space where I had a tooth removed. That was not closing and the space was not wide enough to fit a tooth.

Could you explain on a video or quick message here. I've been warned that TOO much pressure for TOO long on the teeth can cause cell damage? I have braces and this week they eased off on the rubber bands etc. They said it was due to not wanting to over do it with constant pressure as it's not good for the teeth. Would you mind clarifying this for me please, as I've looked it up, and seems to mention cell damage and could end up killing the root of the tooth/or the teeth stop moving?? Thanks! So many videos have really helped me understand the different processes and what to expect. Cheers!

Hello doctor! I have watched the videos on your channel, on cases of tooth extraction, but my case is different in each clinic, there are cases of extraction and cases of no extraction, implanting more implants in the position of baby canines , because the 2 underground canines were incurable. I'm afraid with the extraction it will make me unable to put the upper tongue and this leads to many bad consequences, but the lower jaw is afraid that it can't be even without extraction, I also want better facial proportions but the function is still there. Above all, I hope you can help me

What kind of braces do you have? Do you have the ones with the sliding door(Damon braces) or the traditional kind where they use ties to hold the wire in place? If you have Damon, like I do, then they don’t require ties so you won’t get to choose a color unless you need power chains.

I got a root canal while in braces a few weeks ago. A cavity went unnoticed by my general dentist due to the spot it was in, the X-ray didn’t catch it and I didn’t notice it until it started hurting! Got my wire removed, went to get the procedure done and then got the wire put back on right after! They said I will need a crown after I’m done with braces..

I have damons. They dont require the color ligatures and the wire attaches by a little door on the bracket.

Hi Doc. I’m almost into 6 months of braces. I’ have really gapped teeth especially my front teeth. This last treatment was painful for almost 3 weeks. The pain just subsided but I noticed that my right incisors tooth kind of shrunk. It got shorter and shaking? I read online it’s a form of resorption and you could lose the tooth eventually but I’d like to know if this is something that happens and should I stop treatment. This started happening since the power chains within the 3rd month of the teeth.
