It really bothers me that he doesnt have any gloves on

[UMichDent]

Us, too - but these were recorded in the 70s before gloves were standard. We figured it's better to get these videos out there than not post them, even though there are no gloves.

the whole time im like ouch ouch ouchie!!

you have to remove the cause why teeth have spaces. if you put braces on after orthodontic treatment the teeth will go back having spaces because the cause is not eliminated. After frenum surgery it is best to put braces or other appliance indicated for the case... good job doctor!

[luisubtil]

Excessive orthodontic forces? No way! Put braces on? What for?

What is more interesting is the IV sedation with, no pulse oximetry, no venous access, no O2, and where is the crash cart?
