  • 1:41...Cross eyed! :P

  • dr.b how long does a braces precedure usally last

  • @STUDxLEGEND Getting on full braces takes about 30min. In this video we were only putting a few braces on so it only took about 10 min.

    Dr. B

  • Did he get impressions?

    Please reply!(:

  • @bananabagel1 All patients get impressions of their teeth before treatment.

    Good question

    Dr. B

  • Does it hurt?

    Do you feel pain?

  • @missMusicIsLife01 It does not hurt getting braces put on your teeth. Your will become sore a few hours after. this is a sign that your teeth are starting to move. This sorness goes away after a few days.

    Good luck

    Dr. B

  • The first time you get braces do u get elastics?

  • @choijune2017 If you are asking about rubber bands usually no. If you are asking about the colors around the braces the answer is yes.

    Good luck

    Dr. B

  • I'm 13 and getting braces. What colours do u recommend look the best? What can u defiantly not eat? How long do you wear them for? Thx in advance.

  • @PivotmasterFX293 These are all great questions. Make sure you ask your orthodontist and the staff what they do & recommend at their office. The colors you can change at each appointment so experiment. You can't eat anything HARD, CRUNCHY, STICKEY or CHEWY, just use common sense. Everyone wear them for different times. The case from this video took 9months (Phase I treatment) Full braces can take fron 18-30months.

    Good Luck

    Dr. B

  • This is a question about brushing.

    Basically, I try to brush at a 45 degree angle like my Orthodontist said, but on my bottom front teeth I have a large amount of plaque buildup. I seriously have just brushed those teeth for 2 minutes twice a day at the 45 degree angle and it's barely done anything.

    Do you think you know what I could be doing wrong?

  • @TheJackDesigns I have a few suggestions. First if you can still see plaque (it can be removed with a tooth brush) Keep brushing untill it is all off your teeth and braces. It may take longer than 2 minutes. 2nd you should be brushing every time after you eat something. That should be more than 2 times a day. 3rd, brushing alone is not enough. You need to use additional aids. FLOSS, INTERPROXIMAL Brush and any other aids your orthodontist may have recommended.

    Good Luck

    Dr. B

  • @TheJackDesigns Have a look at one of my othr videos on oral hygiene instruction on my You Tube site. And ask your orthodontist and staff, they are there to help you get the best results.

    Dr. B

  • I'm getting braces in October and I have a few questions: what is the best way to thread the floss and what can I not eat?

  • @FaLlEnWiShEs123 When you get your braces you orthodontist and the staff should review all these things with you. For now you can check out one of my other videos "Oral Hygiene Instruction"

    Dr. B

  • oh and is there a chance it will give me a lisp??

  • @Whotookmytaco11 The glue has no taste, but the blue gel (etch) has a sour taste & we try not to let you tase it. Braces should not make you lisp. Patient who get appliances like an expander will lisp slightly unntil they get used to talking.

    Good Luck

    Dr. B

  • i have quite a few questions if you can answer them

    can you have sugarfree gum?

    how often should you brush?

    how often do you have appointments to get the wire replaced?

    what are some foods you cannot eat?

    people say the glue tastes awful, is this true?

    getting them june 9th please and thanks to who can answer them! :) :)

  • @Whotookmytaco11 Chewing gum is a no no, as the extra chewing can break off braces. You should brush every time after you eat and before bed, floss at least once per day. How often you see your orthodontist depends on their treatment plan and how they do things, but can vary from every 4-8 weeks. In my office we say you should not eat anything HARD, CRUNCHY, STICKY or CHEWY and use your common sense.

  • what is that thing around his mouth it looks like it hurts

  • @unicornheart99 That is a cheek retractor. It holds your cheeks & lips away from your teeth while we put on your braces. It does not hurt. I've even had some people fall asleep with it on.

    Good Question

    Dr. B

  • hi im ava, in a few months I'm getting brace. Im really scared.

    will it hurt to have them put on? Like how long does it take? I'm just really nervous can you please reply with some details about your experience?

  • do you bleed

  • @lizbdbd No Bleeding Involved.

    Good Luck

    Dr. B

  • LOL when he goes cross - eyed! haha :D

  • Does it hurt?

  • @MegaSaS123 Jaedon Says "It felt kinda wierd, but it does not hurt". Getting the braces on does not hurt. Your teeth will get sore a few hours after as the wire start to move the teeth.

    Dr. B

  • I got mine on December 11th, 2010 and I had no problems with them There was no soreness either. I ate the same, talked the same. It didn't actually affect me. On January 31st I get my expander put on. I have a question though, do the clear braces have a different affect on the teeth than metal ones do?

  • @iluv2wail The clear or ceramic braces work the same as metal braces. There are some minor differences for the orthodontist but not the patients or in the results.

    Good Question

    Dr. B

  • Hi, I was wondering how long the whole process takes? Because I am getting my braces soon and I am very nervous! /:

  • @JuicyStar070 The process of getting your baces on depends on what you are having done. In this video it only takes about 10min total (That is for braces on the upper front teeth only). When we put braces on all the teeth it takes a bit longer 30-45min. But it will also depend on what your orthodontist does an wether you get all braces or bands on teeth.

    Good Luck

    Dr. B

  • Show more videos of jaedon and his braces please

  • Subscribe .. I am getting Damon Braces Jan 6th!!!!!!!! I will be vlogging about my experience!!!!!!!

  • What the hell is that thing on the side.

  • @thEfREShEStkiD11 That is a cheek retractor. It helps hold your lips and cheeks out of the way so the teeth stay dry and are easily seen when the braces are plced.

    Good Question, not so great language.

    Dr. B

  • i'm getting braces soon and I wanna know if theirs alot of pain or something....

  • @TheNikkiBoo98 There is no pain while the braces are being put on. your teeth become sore several hours after the wire is placed between the braces. This is because the wire is starting to move your teeth and you feel the pressure. It usually lasts for 2-5 days and advil or tylenol work well to control any discomfort.

    Good luck

    Dr. B

  • @facesortho Oh ok because I just got em and they hurt! but oh well!

  • Hey,am getting my braces today.My question is,is it going to pain?

  • If i have a tooth thats behind all my other ones but looks like it would barely have enough space to move up with them would i have to get it pulled?

  • @flipper14701 Not always. It depends on many different things. The best way to find out is to see an ORTHODONTIST. They will evaluate your specific needs and let you know what is best for you. Most orthodontists off a free initial evaluation like I do in my office.

    Good Luck

    Dr. B

  • nice new super mario game on teh ds :P

  • These kids, rich enough to have braces T.T I wish i had 'em.

  • Do we have to pluck teeth out before getting braces on?

  • @22BrighterStar That really depends on each specific patient. Make sure you see an orthodontist the can treat you with the best plan for you and your teeth.

    Good Luck

    Dr. B

  • hello! I'm getting a retainer that runs behind my teeth tomorrow and they will glue it in. im sort of afraid but more excited

  • @IceWaddle This is a type of retainer to make sure you have more space later for your teeth to come in. Don't worry you will do great.

    Dr. B

  • I remember when my dad put braces and a herbst on me

  • @zanema2003 The best way to find out the best time for braces for yourself is to see an orthodontist.  Most orthodontists offer a free consultation during which they will evaluate your teeth and give you the answer to that that question.

    Good Luck

    Dr. B

  • What was that needle for?

  • @starbucksmochafrap There is no needle involved in getting braces. The syringe is used to place the conditioning gel (etch) on the teeth that cleans off the surface of the teeth so the glue can stick the braces to the teeth.

    Good Question

    Dr. B

  • We didn't get to see the archwire put in.

  • when you do it it hurts or not?

  • @nesserine25 It does not hurt when we put on braces.

    Dr. B

  • @facesortho

    Yes it does I have braces.

  • Ok thanks!I will try to put a video of it.

  • Sorry for the message below ignore it.ok let me explain again.I'm getting braces in febuary and I can't breath through my nose do you have any tips for me?also,I hear from alot of people that it hurts and some it don't

  • @lilprincess24100 Make sure you discuss these fears with your orthodontist he or she can explain to you how they will help you. In my office we never really have a problem in with patients with asthma. If yours is really severe you can use your inhaler prior to your apt. Make sure you discuss this with your orthodontist. You will do great.

    Good luck

    Dr. B

  • For hhe comment below I I'm kelsey I'm 11 And I'm getting I'm really scared.I have asthma and I can't breath through my nose that well and I can only breath through my mouth so do you have any tips for me ?

  • Question people tell me you have to get teeth pulled b4 braces and that usually involves needles so I'm scared can some1 plz respond:)

  • @Whotookmytaco11 Not everyone needs teeth to be removed. It really depends on your specific case. Make sure you see an orthodontist for an evaluation.  They are usually FREE, then you will know what you need and have no reason to be afraid.

    Dr. B

  • I'm so excited for next year, when i'm getting my braces. Everyone in my classes are getting them, no one has a perfect smile, lol. :) Not yet, anyway.

  • Do u have to get a shot before they put the brackets on??

  • @MKKenyon We never do. I have never herd of it being needless. Most orthodontists don't even have needles in their office.

    Chill it will be fine.

    Good luck

    Dr. B

  • @facesortho Do braces hurt???because my sister is going to put my braces on me,and there gonna take teeth off,does that hurt to??????

  • @igetxxxmoney The braces themselves do not hurt, When the wire is placed between the braces and your teeth are being moved it will make your teeth sore & tender for several days.  I hope your sister is an orthodontist if she is doing your braces???? especially if extractions are planned. If she is she should be able to answer your questions as well. If she is not, you may be better off seing a specialist.

    Good Luck

    Dr. B

  • Why isn't his toungebin the little thingy that hold back the spit

  • @doglover52 We were only putting braces on his front 4 teeth and the back molars (Early or Phase I treatment) No need to put everything in there. Check out some of my other video's to see full bondings.

    Good question

    Dr. B

  • just got mine off on august 24th :)

  • i have a underbite and i am having braces next year

  • Wait can i get braces if i only have one more tooth to lose ? Its the 2nd molar on the top. Its not gonna come in for a while so wuold i have to wait until i get them? Because i also have an overbite and my teeth have spaces in between almost all of them and Im 13 . so should i wait or get them? Oh and 1 more question do you have to update insurance before you get any orthodontic work done? Thanks for your time,bye!

  • @pinklover9100 You have a lot of questions. To get the correct answers you should see an orthodontist for an evaluation. Most Orthodontists off the initial consult for free, and you do not need to be refered by a general dentist. Just get your parent to call and set you up an appointment. They will be happy to answer all your questions and see if you are a good candidate for braces.

    Good luck

    Dr. B

  • If you do not think your teeth are staight enough or look good enough you are a candidate for braces. If you would like to improve your smile, see an orthodontist for a consultation.

    Good Luck

    Dr. B

  • what if u dont really need braces? can u still get them so ur teeth can be perfect for the rest of ur life? i just want them so my teeth can be perfect and i think there cute when u get them in colors. will the docters yell at me? how much do they cost? please comment.

  • what if u dont really need braces can u still get them so ur teeth can be perfect for the rest of ur life?

  • what is overbite??

  • @filzah102 Oberbite is how much your upper teeth overlap your lower teeth, normally it is 2-3mm (or you should see about 3/4's of your lower teeth when you are bitting together. If your overbite is too large or deep it can lead to extra wear on your teeth.

    Good question

    Dr. B

  • i have braces and it doesnt hurt when theyre puttin them on but it kills afterwards....made me cry

  • @MJurmyhero You will do better after a few days that goes away. Try some OTC pain meds.

    Good Luck

    Dr. B

  • Umm.. what exactly are braces? Are they like glued onto your teeth? Im sorry, I never have had to get them..

  • @colorfulldeath Yes they are glued on to your teeth with a special glue as you can see in the vid. For more info check out my website

    Good questions
