Күн бұрынBraces 101 - Dangerous Braces Trends
In this video we talk about some dangerous youtube and tiktok braces trends that have spread over the internet. It’s actually crazy some of the things people are doing with their braces and in this video I’m going to discuss why these braces tiktok trends are very dangerous! Things we will discuss are changing your own braces colors and braces power chains, removing braces at home, filing your teeth, improper braces elastics as well as do-it-yourself DIY braces. Please do not perform or attempt any of these trends but be sure to see an orthodontist for a professional consultation! If you’ve heard of any trends I have not discussed in this video, please let me know and I will address them in a future video! Much love

You should talk about the tik tok trend of people getting their teeth shaved down to pegs for "veneers" when they are really crowns. It's disturbing and sad to see these people with perfectly fine teeth just destroying them like this. It's bad.

@reneebequick 3 жыл бұрын
@The Shadow Ninjas I didn't say that it doesn't whiten your teeth. It does whiten until it doesn't. For people that like to "saw" at their teeth when brushing, the charcoal toothpaste is too abrasive and the hard brushing on top of that will essentially removal your outer enamel and then expose the dentin underneath (the inner layer of the tooth), which is yellow and darker than enamel. I have been working in dentistry for 10 years and have knowledge first hand of what I am speaking of.

You know what trend I’m loving right now? All the orthodontist content being shown to me as KZfaq shorts. I love seeing the positivity in those professionals as they talk about the best kind of toothbrush and toothpaste to use. Before seeing those content creators I didn’t realise that the best kind of toothbrush to have is a soft one (for some reason I thought firmer was better, but now I know that you shouldn’t brush too hard!) It’s nice because I firmly believe that by seeing content creators talk about dental hygiene in a fun way it reaches out to younger audiences more!

And I came to know that there is a lot of cases related to illegal dental procedure like braces, ventures etc. because there is a dentist-youtuber from my country that make a channel specifically to educate and review dental procedure that is NOT done by dentists. Scary things really happen guys. If you can't afford to go to the dentist, better not to do it yourself and NOT go to those illegal practices. Just try to maintain our oral health with good habits.

I haven't seen this mentioned, but I think the underlying reason for these braces trends is for cost-saving purposes. Braces aren't always covered by dental insurance and some people can't afford out-of-pocket treatment. It's just like how in the US, people act as their own doctors because they can't afford to see one.

I’ve seen most of these trends on TikTok. I know people want specific colors, but changing your own ligatures? Come on now! Also, I saw a girl glue jewelry on on teeth because she liked the look of braces. I was flabbergasted after that one. I’m glad you did this video!

I’m super excited about joining this group. Have been watching all of Dr. Greg Videos on KZfaq. I’m 56 years young with impacted canines. Had a bad dental experience when I was younger so that why I’m having to go thru this process at this age My lower right canine cuspid is giving me pure hell. My bottom two canine cuspid are erupting an are not in the right positions. My right upper canine cuspid has erupted years ago but is sitting back farther from my upper front gum line. My left upper canine cuspid refused to come down. My orthodontist says he’s finally going to give me the smile I deserve. He informed me that he just placed braces on his own father at the tender age of 56. He’s very encouraging. He informed that I have a young mouth. My teeth are still moving just later in my life. I’m going to post a pic of myself. I stop smiling many years ago. I smile with my mouth shut most of the times. When I get my braces on I plan on vlogging about my journey. I will be posting before, between an after pics in the near future. I’m so happy an bless to be in this group.

WoW that's insane!! I just got mine installed a few days ago. I've been on a braces video binge/marathon on things to do and don't. I can't believe there is ways to bootleg yourself some orthodontic procedures. Incredibly dangerous!!! I would never. I'm doing this the right way especially after all the money I had to pay just for the down payment!! Still over $5000 to go!! It's too costly to DIY. I'd rather have the orthodontist do it so in that way if a tooth does become damaged or whatever it's partially on them. Good video, glad I watched it.

I'd previously heard of the trend of filing teeth but not any of the others. When I first read an article about it, the first thing I thought was, "I never thought the AAO's Happy Mouth Now ad would ever be more than satire." This just proves me wrong even more. On the note about how complex orthodontics is and all the decisions being made, I'm fully aware of that because I'm getting treatment by a resident. They have to run all decisions through the faculty on duty, so I hear them talking it over.
@LyssieLysse 2 жыл бұрын
I’m getting braces (again-haven’t worn my retainer in years) next month and I’m just shocked that people actually do these things to their teeth. It’s not that difficult to call the ortho for an appointment smh And why are braces kits available on Amazon? Makes me question the sanity of society.
@deejyniece5916 2 жыл бұрын
Not everyone can afford to go to the orthodontist, or in my case, afford to continue the treatment. I haven't had my braces tightened in three years and I can't afford to get them taken off, but I need to in order to go into the air force (why? I have no idea) So while it may not be the proper, healthy, or even smart thing to do, some people have no choice. It's a lot more about the cost than following some type of trend.

I guess the problem is , the cost of braces are too high! So most people who attempt to do their own braces , do so with hopes of saving some money 🤦🏽♀️so they teach themselves what you know! 🤷🏽♀️ and can you really blame them? maybe you guys should make braces a little more affordable especially for low income families and the older population… it doesn’t even take the long to put them on and y’all charging $3,000-6,000🚩 that’s a rip off 🥴😩😔

@@yourstruly5714 my orthodontist approved it only once because it was time to change it and I couldn't come in...but changing it too often, or not with same materials, can affect treatment.

I did this as well. I didn't change them out but I had to unhook them because they were weak and popping and eventually going over my gums (pretty uncomfortable) I just took a safety pin and unhooked it came off like nothing since they so weak after months without appointment. My teeth had already moved slightly because of the popping and weak elastic I just went ahead with it. I was able to get a last minute appointment anyway, My ortho didn't mind.
