Us all wishing u are our dentist rn.

My son just got his braces taken off a few weeks ago. His orthodontist told him he has the cleanest teeth he’s ever seen after getting braces taken off. His teeth were so white you couldn’t tell he ever had braces. Every adjustment my son had his teeth always hurt the day after but it was only one day. I gave him an Advil and he was fine.

the worst part of having braces is how long you have to floss, and all of the plaque that you don't see, but other than that they're fine :)

The worst is when you get your braces tightened and you can barely bite down on a piece of bread.

If this guy was my dentist I wouldn’t be nervous to go to the dentist 🤣🤣🤣 he’s got my sense of humor

all of bentist’s videos are all so entertaining 😊

I can still trace the line of scarring from both wires on my braces (top and bottom) all the way around from one cheek, along each lip, to the other cheek. The worst of the scarring is at the back, where the wire would poke out of the brackets on the back cheek. They were never cut short enough and I'd get my cheek caught and even ripped open. Wax did nothing but soften, melt.

Spacers, getting them tightened, coil springs, rubber bands, zig zag wires, & power chains is the most painful part about having braces. I hate it so much.

braces pain is the worst 😭

Braces don't hurt... until you wake up.. edit: If you're getting braces soon, please realize this is only for the first few days and after you get them tightened!! Braces have helped me so much, especially with my confidence. They have allowed me to feel free to smile!! I wish you fellow braces people a great braces journey!! My braces journey update: I get my braces off in 2 weeks!! I am so excited my orthodontist has messed my teeth up 4 times now (one time they crossed my front teeth completely over one another and had to flip them back) and has finally fixed them to where I can get them off. I'm hoping it's worth it in the end..... Update: Braces off tomorrow. Im so nervous because I have very sensitive teeth...tell yall tomorrow how it went cross your fingers 🤞 Final Update: Their Off!!!!!! My teeth feel a million times better. Yes, getting them off was not the most comfortable, but it's all worth it!! I'm finally free to smile without being nervous. And if you need any tips, feel free to comment. Also, thank you for letting me make this my little braces journal, lol. 🫶 YALL IDK WHY IT DELETED ALL MY RESPONSES 😭

Just a tip for people who have sore lips because of braces. When I just got my braces the inside of my lips were hurting so much. I would put that brace wax on my braces the first row 4/6 teeth. I would put the complete strip on it. Especially at night, when it was the worst because I would suck my lips against my braces with my mouth. It's been 6 years since I had braces but I still have that quick thought sometimes when I leave home: ''Oh no I didn't put on my rubber bands'' and then I come to realization again ''Luckily that thing is out'' I just have a trauma from that stupid thing. I had it in for 6 years and my teeth still have gaps and now I have a permanent retainer. But my teeth haven't moved since.

To avoid the canker sores, I put cotton wool under my lower lip and below the braces. When the cotton wool gets soaked, you won't notice it's there. Works perfectly, especially overnight!

Passion fruit is extremely helpful for healing canker sores! My mom and I will eat them whenever we get canker sores and the sores heal a lot faster. Not long ago, I had a really big and painful one so I ate one passion fruit and the next day it stopped hurting and then healed within a few days.

I had the old school big full metal bands around each tooth. When I got my retainer, the doctor would tighten it weekly, but one week I noticed bone on the roof of my mouth had become exposed and it hurt like !$@!#!. The doctor had to come in on the weekend to fix the retainer - such a fond memory !

The bentist is amazing ever sence he started i Been talking better care of my teeth thank you😊

I had braces 11 years ago and the first thing I ate was Taco Bell bean burrito, couldn’t eat the tortilla, had to fork out the inners 😂

I sometimes miss my braces, lol. I had an open bite that needed correction. I did the whole power chain with rubber bands for 1 1/2 months. I still use my Hawley retainer at night to keep my teeth straight. If you're thinking of getting braces, I recommend always having dental wax. It helps to prevent canker sores.

I live in Britain, my dentist didn't etch my teeth before glueing those things on my teeth, from the limited time I've watched you since I just found you, I've learnt enough that my dentist was doing it wrong. Didn't even know etching was a thing.

6:43-6:46 bro the way he moved his head and his facial expression was just so hilarious tell me u saw this 😂

Hi just want you to know you are one of my favorite KZfaqrs and also keep up the good work

I'm getting braces when and if the insurance company approves because my family can't pay for it alone. Love you Bentist. Bless you ❤️

I prob shouldn’t have watched this befor getting braces

Thankyou for your helpful video going to be getting my braces soon at 28 ..I’m nervous but excited and will take all notes

i love your videos so much!

My brother and sister ended up wearing braces for like six years because they wouldn’t do what the doctor told them. I went to a different doctor and wore my braces for six months because I did everything they wanted me to do. Do the right thing!

As someone who has and has had braces... if youre getting them, its really not to bad. Youll jh1st be sore for the first couple days after getting them or getting them tightened.

Hi Bentist I love your videos 🌺you helped me learn so much🌷🌸🎀

I remember my headgear days (only had to wear it at night, THANK GAWD!). I developed a lisp though from my tongue thruster which occasionally still comes out from time to time. I also had a bad habit of taking my retainer out with my tongue, but oddly I learned a few tricks that I can do with food.

Your my favorite youtuber!!!

I had and still have to go through all the pain. I have top and bottom jaw braces, powerchains AND RUBBER BANDS

Love your vids

I have been waiting for 2 years for you to take the bracket off after whitening, im so exited to see and hope you will show us soon.

Hahha! I got my braces off yesterday!! My gums were so big tho lol

Ohh, I had that headgear thingy. It was to expand my jaw a little. This was because my wisdom teeth were in a good angle, so they removed one premolar in each quadrant so my back teeth could come towards the front and my wisdom teeth could just be my new back teeth. Worked out perfectly!

Your KZfaq join date is the day of my birthday :D

I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS

It’s a good day when the Bentist uploads.

When I had my braces for the second day, I had to ask some people with more experience with braces at school if I could eat chips💀

I’ve like never been early for a bentist video but here we are 😁😁😁

The Bentist is like my dreammm dentist. I feel like he the type to give you candy then say brush ur teeth after

Another educational vid

You didn’t talk about the main reason I clicked this video - the discoloration around the brackets area (your thumbnail). I’m currently wearing braces and that’s one of my biggest fears. I don’t want my teeth to be discolored at the end😩😩

Happy 5.15 Million subscribers

I had a canker sore before. I had to take a couple days off school because of how painful it was.

I need braces soon and I’m scared, I’m sensitive and if I have braces and it hurts I will literally cry every night.

Getting braces before Christmas

Bentist please tell me what to expect when I get my braces

I love your vids

Just got my braces off. Thanks for getting me through my journey 🫡

"EVERYBODY'S GONE TO THE DENTIST" That wasn't true for me until last year, I'd never been to the dentist until I was 23... they complimented my teeth especially when they found out I'd NEVER had dental care before then 😅😂

I’m getting them this Tuesday so I’ve just been looking through videos abt braces

I feel them when I first got braces it’s didn’t hurt until a few days later, Ice water does work

fun story: a few months ago i had what I assumed was just a regular ulcer on my bottom lip.. it would get bigger, then smaller, and bigger again until it was literally the size of my pinky finger nail. so I went to the oral surgeon thingy (this was my first surgery actually). my mom said they’d freeze it and it would fall off, but he actually pulled it out and it looked like STRING LIGHTS, EEEWWW!!

I’m lucky. I never had braces. But I also ate a lot of raw carrots and sunflower seeds as a kid. Hard food is a favorite of mine, even now that I have bridges.

Great video 👍❤

Some of them are too relatable

Hi Bentist I got my braces put on on Thursday this week. Damon braces. Day 1, they itched, which I wasn’t expecting lol Day 2, teeth felt a BIT sensitive Day 3, the canker sores- oh my god! By far the most painful part Anyway, I’m glad I took the plunge!

I had braces for 3 years. Never had any pain lol

I’m watching this video with a canker sore and hearing there is nothing that I can do about it. I just have to wait it’s been over 10 days. It still hurts.

That thumbnail makes me wanna grab a floss pick

I had braces (UK NHS) for about a whopping 40 minutes maybe before having a tantrum (age like 11) about how awful they were. I had them for canines that were coming down too high at first, but in the end they sorted themselves out completely fine without the braces. I do have like 2 slightly crowded teeth that perhaps I wouldn't have if I had kept them on but I don't ever feel insecure or worried about my teeth and definitely wouldn't qualify for them again today.

2:20… all I do is stuff my face into cushions. The pressure relieves it. So does swishing cold water, it’s kinda obvious ice cubes are bad.. Also, I got my braces off last month :D My retainers are A LOT better than my braces (thank the lord) 🎉🎉

i just got braces. and this guy is really helpful

I found a way to get rid of canker sores. Just put a small piece of Nonstick gauze wherever the sore is, change it out multiple times a day. Take it out when you need to eat when you’re done eating, brush your teeth and put in a new piece of gauze.

Omg I hate braces

My first time putting braces it hurted so baddd but when they tight it now it doesn’t hurt (I got it tight like 3 times)

HOLY, U GOT 19K VIEWS IN LESS THEN 4 HOURS CONGRATS

This is very helpful ❤❤❤❤😊

My mom got braces a few days ago

My othordontist's assistant made me into some sort of masochist. She was late 20's with really nice, large, comfortable pillows that she would smother me with for about 30 minutes as she would tighten my braces. Every time my teeth felt sore afterwards, I would remember and it would provide positive memories. 🙂

Sheesh ty for the info lol i getting braces and such soon

I remember my first week with braces, i was so in pain and i wanted to rip the off. The pain was on another level... i regretted getting them. I am glad i tolerated the pain and now i am liking the results 😂

I GOT MY BRACES 4-5 DAYS AGO AND THEY HURT SO MUCH ON THE FIRST 3 DAYS, I COULDNT EAT ANYTHING HARD BUT IM FINE-(ish) NOW, (day 4-5)

raise ur hand if u love the bentist ✋

HERE BFORE IT SKYROCKETS I LOVE THIS GUY

Magic mouthwash for canker sores. You can get a prescription for a strong one or make a mild one yourself with maalox and benadryl.

I’ve newly got braces and I hate eating rn

I have braces but I don't have any pain... I get my Damon braces tightened and my teeth are sore for 5 min and then I only have to see the magic happening, I see changes on my mouth everyday! It was predicted I would have braces for 3 years, but maybe it will only be for 1 year and a half to 2 years because it is moving really fast, even my bite corrected a lot without rubber bands. Can't believe I was so scared before getting them! I eat everything (even hard, crunchy things, never broke a bracket), I actually forget I have braces until I have to floss 😂 I'm always like "damn, the hardest part of the day right here" 😅 Of course I know I'm maybe one of the few that don't have pain, but never be discouraged, it will always be worth it in the end!

I’m getting my braces of tomorrow! I’m so excited

Where is your practice? Your videos are great!

Hiiii I am a big fan of you!

just got braces and 80% of the vids are so relatable

got spacers in my mouth these things are painful asf!

Hey can you do a video about power chain? Like do’s and don’ts and also what kind of food to eat.

This video is inspiring me to go back and finally finish my teeth. It’s been 10 years since I first had them.

3:36 i’ve never related to anything more. i just got power chains a few days ago and it’s so hard to bite even the softest of foods, i couldn’t even bite watermelon 😭😭

If you have all that metal on your teeth after jaw surgery, do you use a feeding tube or just liquids during recovery.

When you said " Is this real life? Is this going to happen to me forever?" I could relate to that so hard I GASPED 🤣 I couldn't believe it was NOT only me who thought that

Thanks I got my braces on Thursday!

I love this channel 😊😊😊😊😊😊

I have never went to the dentist in my life

4:42 I actually had that nonstop during my braces journey. Probably because I always slept with my face smooshed against something therefore rubbing my lip/cheek against the brackets. But yeah, it’s not fun and in all I think I had about a week without that stuff in my mouth

I’m getting my braces off soon but I’ve never felt horrible pain on my teeth even when I first go them on lucky for me

I started with Penguin elastics and finished with Moose elastics! That always cracked me up!

Hey i heard that orthos recommend tylenol over ibuprofen is that true and why?

I had a type of braces because I had a 9.5mm overbite and I can confirm that they hurt, but mainly when they got tightened.

You made me realize how much of a MESS I have in my mouth I didn't even know bad it could get it really came from "Okay my teeth are not perfectly straight, thats not THAT bad right?" to " oh... Thats gonna be fun! "

6:18 bro really said “the way HES chewing…” I feel bad for that women now 😂😂😂

I remember feeling the shift in my nose. Glad to be done with braces

I'm gonna need you to touch on that thumbnail picture because that was wild. Haha.
