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.

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 KZfaq to turn to for this topic!

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

One more request…In depth review of current recommendations for retainers. How effective each one is? Pros and cons. Etc. TIA

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)

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.

Your videos took away any anxiety that I had. Everything was as you expected. Thank you so much.

I have my consult tomorrow and then if all goes well I will be getting braces 3 days later! So nervous but excited for my teeth to be pretty and straight!

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!

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.

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 wish I had seen this before braces but luckily I haven’t had any real issues. I hope this helps someone!

I’m newly in braces for mild anterior open bite, tongue thrust and I’m 56 years old. My doc is great, but please do an in-depth. There are a lot of varying opinions on KZfaq

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?

Hey dr greg, i just got braces today, and all the tips you shared with us really helped me. Thank you so much!🎉

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.

Thank you for all your educational work! I appreciate it truly

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.

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.

My orthodontist is careless . I am currently looking for another one to finish my treatment if i see something doesn't look right with my teeth and I ask him he always say " it supposed to look like this"

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

I love your videos

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

nice sharing vidio

Where are you dr greg!!!

This is so informative information! Appreciate it doc

That's the problem i incounter. I really trust my orthodontist that I thought she knows what to do with my case. I just waste my time and money but still I'm not satisfied with her service

Thank you for this channel! This is my second go around with braces, I had them in high school and now as an adult(almost 30). I have these blue “bite blocks” on my 2 upper rear molars and they suck! I have to chew my food with only these teeth. Can you please make a video about bite blocks?

Thank u sir need more concepts in orthodontics learning

What’s the best toothpaste for braces no whitening no baking soda

Weird question. Can you swallow the water from a water pick?

Hey Man, I just watched your video and I must say that it was really informative and well-made. I loved your videos. I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and also make highly engaging shorts for you to grow your business.

Would be nice to have videos that explains about class 3 malocclusion type 2!

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. Is the orthodontic treatment reversible and can I get my old face back? The braces treatment made me look older and I am very upset about that.

Colors that go good with hair skin tone and eyes mabey also colors people dye there hair Edit: like bold colors red yellow orange blue purple green

What comes next when doc is trying box bands to align bite. Supposed 6 months left

thanks doc!

I have 4 bands at the top and 4 at the bottom. They are so painful. Bitting my cheeks and they scratch my tongue. The wax doesn’t help because it falls right off.

I have a loop in my wire in between the spacing in front of my k9 and a elastic connecting the loop and my 2nd molders

I have an overbite(8mm). My bottom front teet are too much crowded. 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?

Getting my top braces tomorrow and I am NERVOUS!

I want more info on ADULT Ortho and AVOIDING Jaw surgery!!😮😊

i have a really important question. is it better brush you teeth before or after breakfast? please answer this!!

My orthodontist said I will be having braces for two to three years. And I’m getting an expander. Can I have braces and a expander during the same time??

Please make video about impacted central incisor

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!

Dr. kindly, what do you prefer when using rotating wedge, NiTi or SS wire, round or rectangular? thank you so much. 🌹

Make a video about Acceledent Aura please.

Hey man! can you tell me why my dentist is using power in chains in the initial process of braces and he is not using any wires none at all. My procedure has been started around for 3.5 months

I'm getting braces in 3 months family 🎉

I love it thanks

Can energy drinks like Celsius water wince it has citric acid cause your bracket to come Off ?

Is it possible that our power chain is not working.. As I don't found any change in my diastema

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

Hey I have a huge gap on my two front teeth so I want apart from braces can I also put buttons on two help the process go faster ?? Love your videos 💕

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. Two years and four months later I have an over bite my other teeth are not touching, I have teeth without partner. How could I not have partner for my teeth when I have the same amount of teeth above as below. And he is now saying well take it out and the process is taking longer than he said because he is trying to get my mid line. To me he does not know what he is doing

Started my journey 2 days ago. 😁

Wow!! I'm thinking of getting braces to save my upper last molar (bottom is missing 15 years). Any suggestions? Should I go the route of pushing it back in with braces or do as my dentist says easy way out? Let it go.(Pull it out since it'd almost touching my bottom gum)

Braces harmfull for face destroys jaw bone,jawbone becomes small and everybody who uses braces looks like shit after treatment is the worst part (your face becomes worse over time )

Hi Dr. What's up? kindly, if the pat. refused to put tads for intrusion of upper extruded molars in ant. open bite.. _ can we put a post. bite block and give the pat. vertical elastics ot help in intruding the molars .. if so, where should be put? thank you so much 🌹🙏

I have an appointment at the orthodontist in a couple of days, does that mean i am for sure getting braces? If so how soon after the appointment should i expect to get them?

How long after a root canal can you get braces? Can you have cavities in your front bottom teeth at the gum line? They look like little holes. 😞

Have you used the carriere motion appliance? Do you recommend it or not?

I am about to have a tooth removed. I am worried my teeth my teeth will start moving to the side of the removed teeth, and cause my lower and upper midlines to not be centered. I am at a relatively late stage of braces, I currently have power chains and use elastics

Sir how much do you earn as an orthodontist? Plz reply. Thanks a lot.

I have two adult teeth coming in but on top of my baby teeth and i have to get like the baby teeth removed and braces, I know this is off topic but which one in my case would be better, braces or Invisalign??

Can you please tell me why I don’t get to choose colour

Hello. I find your yt is very informative. I have a question. My braces pushes my two front tooth to the right. So the two front tooth dont sit in the front anymore. Is that normal? Is it something concerning? Thank you

Hi can I talk to you in personal, I Wana discuss my case

Are you Armenian

Can we smoke with braces 😬

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.

Dr. Greg: "In today's incredibly long video".....(20 min video) lol Me: *Just finished watching a 49 minute Bailey Sarian video* 😄😄 😄

Guys don’t worry, pray to Jesus the son of god and your fears and worries will be stopped in Jesus name amen! 🔝❤️⬆️✝️👍🏻🙏🙏😇😇😍😍😀💯💪

Dr., kindly, if you have an account on Instagram to communicate with you about a problem faced me with a case, and i need your advice. 🌹🙏
