Crooked Teeth and Braces

Braces For Crooked Teeth

In this week’s episode we will review some ways your orthodontist manages crooked teeth and crowding. We will discuss how to deal with overcrowding and how your orthodontist can either make room for teeth with expansion or decrease the need for so much room with stripping or extractions. We will discuss options for adult braces and kids braces. Some of the tips of the products I mention in today’s video can be found below!

I’ve had teeth extracted. 4 teach to be exact. Two up and two down. . Started watching your videos when I was about to get the braces and you answered a lot of questions I didn’t know I had to ask. Thank you!😊

I started my braces journey almost two years ago at 60 years old. So far I’ve had a combination of proclination of my upper teeth and IPR on a number of my lower teeth. One additional strategy currently being applied, which you didn’t mention in the video, is the use of torque to incline the top of my lower teeth lingually, so that the upper teeth don’t need as much proclination to give me a proper bite.

I had my canines extracted. Which I kind of hated because I think canines make your smile so pretty and give a smile character. But, I’m in my 30s, and I was already missing a molar on both sides on the top...so my ortho was afraid to have too much mvmnt and in the long run it would cause more harm than good.
Love ur vids!! Super helpful. My 13 year old niece has braces but never listens to what her orthodontist tells her...I try to tell her to watch your videos so she can understand why he’s telling her to do these things; they’ve helped me a ton!

This was the case of my teeth way back. Now, my teeth are fixed. It blows my mind how braces work.

I got my braces this week, and basically watched all your videos in the last few days. I appreciate your channel so much! ! Everything is well explained and i feel like i can finish my own treatment now haha!
If you accept an advice from me, you should put more animations about the tools and methods when you are talking about them because many times i had to stop The video to see in google and understand more visually. And you are using the same 3-4 stock videos maybe it would be good to get more according to the subject of the videos

Thank you so much for all your clips I have braces and these clips have helped me understand things so much more. And it makes me think of questions to ask during my appointments. You rock🌟!

Me: *has a perfectly normal dental arch and only has an open bite and a backing incisor*
My dentist: *extracts all of my first premolars*

[markeitaanderson]

I really want and need braces but my mom doesn't have enough money. So crooked teeth 4ever🤪✌🏽

[emmaforstot]

how do orthodontists fix teeth that cross over one another like the top front teeth?

[Xjessaho]

I have impacted wisdom teeth on my bottom jaw. My dentist says I don’t need to have them removed because they’re not causing me any problems, also it would be tricky to take them out because they’re sitting on a nerve in my jaw.

I’m getting braces soon to fix my overcrowding and was wondering if that would cause issues with those wisdom teeth?

[Zilraiz]

Love your content! Great work Dr. Greg

[volcanisty]

I had 5 teeth extracted before getting my braces put on (3 were wisdom teeth). I didn’t have hummers, I have dump trucks in a very small parking lot.
