This reminded me of my last appointment. I asked what the difference was between open and closed chain, and my ortho was so silent I thought he either didn’t hear me or he wasn’t going to answer me. I looked at the ortho assistant and she was staring at him waiting too, and finally he turns and simply holds two powerchains in front of me and continues to say nothing until recognition dawns and I see the difference. Then he finally speaks and says “see that extra bit between the circles? That makes it open.” It was super awkward when I thought he wasn’t going to answer me, but I actually really love that he showed instead of telling, cause that memory is burned into my brain lol
I got upper and lower metal braces as a 58 yr old Englishman for the first time on 08/11/23 and my orthodontist put a powerchain on my lower arch straightaway saying she was using it to help de rotate my lower canines. I have not had any pain or even sensitivity from my teeth for the last two weeks at all including from the powerchain.
Hi!! I just got my braces yesterday, is it normal to have braces with elastics on the first day? The elastic makes me hurt so bad 😣 but my ortho say if I wear it my teeth will become straight faster.
Yeah it's totally normal. Same happened with me but it's for your own good and the pain as well is normal. Take some meds to calm the pain. I know it hurts a lot. All the best
I've been in braces for 1 year and 4 months(counting this month) and im still waiting on elastics,but every mouth is different! You may need elastic your whole treatment while I don't have to at all. So if your ortho said you need to do that ten yes it is normal.
Hi Kenzi I guess you have the option because the changes you might need are really minimum so it depends on how you like your teeth or not..... If you are happy and content with the way your teeth looks so easy NO braces! Thanks for watching ! I hope this helps! :D
Not tryna sound mean to the person getting her braces worked on, but.. Girl you need to brush your teeth or floss😣 it is very yellow and dirty looking where the space is between your teeth. Normally its from food getting caught in there and not getting brushed out. Not saying my brushing is perfect either. But I'm just trying to help and say it the nicest way possible?
Hi Vida Conqueso and that wire is the 018 Stainless Steel ! and using most of the times at the end of the treatment! 😉 Thanks for watching and don't forget to like our video that helps a lot!! 🧡🦷

Hi my friend and we just posted a video about it here it is: ruclips.net/video/S6nMwSQc8oU/видео.html Let me know if that works? or if you have any more questions? Thanks for watching our channel!
my band molar thing fell out, i have a lingual arch (i think that is what it’s called) on my lower teeth. i tried pushing it back in. i can’t. what do i do?
Hi Blobfish if it's bothers to much you can try to bite a tongue depressor (like a the popsicles wooden stick) be really gentle... but for this kind of situation you need to go to your dentist and get the molar band reattached if not your treatment gets longer....Thanks for watching
On this case we put a new wire NiTi 18x25 with the power chains! Thanks for watching! Don’t forget to give us a like and subscribe to our channel! That would help us a lot! 🦷🧡
Hey...I think I'm late🥺..nd I have a question.i have a broken teeth and I have braces on it.but didn't take rootcanal before getting braces is that makes any prblm??I didn't have power chains on my teeth but my orthodontist said u get it sooner🙄😤thanks toothtime ❤️❤️keep going...
@@rosie8642 like what i mean is that i don’t have the bracket on all theeth.Also my dentist plays around to much! :/ which is kinda bad like really?!? But yea that’s what I mean.
Hi Beck that is pretty much why you use power chains to close little gaps and to balance your occlusion ! thanks for watching and don't forget to smash that like button :D
Definitely not, this will most likely slow your treatment down and besides the wire will fall of when you brush without the ligatures! There shouldn’t be any problem cleaning your teeth with them in, if you are struggling to get food out of them I recommend a water flosser it gets everything out.😀
No that's not necessary, they keep the wire in place so changing them should be left to your orthodontist. If you want to clean your teeth ask to go brush at your appointment after they take the old wire out. My ortho lets me do this and it's pretty satisfying to brush close to normally.
we try to use only nitrile gloves but sometimes if the patient doesn't have an allergic contraindication we use latex gloves as well.... thanks for watching

They hurt so bad
My doc did same to me today 🥺it hurts..
Hello, I love your videos! I have a question. How long does it take to be an orthodontic assistant and what are the best options or routes to take?
i would love to experience power chains still in my normal band though with elastics. but i got this random thin wire crisscrossed in my front teeth
Hey!! I have to decide if I get braces or not because apparently I have the decision?? Should I or should I not??
Hi Kenzi I guess you have the option because the changes you might need are really minimum so it depends on how you like your teeth or not..... If you are happy and content with the way your teeth looks so easy NO braces! Thanks for watching ! I hope this helps! :D

That wire is so thick. Do you mind telling me what kind of wire that is? I don't think mines is that thick yet

Do gaps closed without power chain? Please answer me

Great video!! I was wondering if your teeth can look yellow from brace glue? Will that damage the tooth after removed?
I don't think so, the glue will be fully taken off when you gate braces off, and no it won't demage the tooth, cuz you have layer of enamel
How many months before you use power chain?
hey!! i am getting braces soon but i’m wondering how far into the treatment do we get powerchains?
I want to know that too!
It depends on your teeth. Sometimes you get them half way through or at the end.
I got powerchains 1 year after i got braces on.
For me it was my second appointment to push the teeth back
I got only a power chain on my front 4 teeth my 3rd visit and then got top and bottom power chains after a year
At what point of a treatment is a square section archwire put?
Hi my friend and are you talking about a square shape arch wire?? Thanks for watching and don't forget to like our video that helps a lot!! 🧡🦷
@@ToothTime Yes, sorry. English is not my mother tongue. When do you put such wire?
So does every patient's white residue comes off after getting their Braces off???
Does it hurt to have braces? Also can you have a patient answer that?
Thank you for making my day toooooo!!!!

Man yesterday I was with my cousin and they have like all the braces on... I don’t :( I wish my dentist can do better....
HI Kaylie and what do you mean by that? you just have a couple of braces on? Thanks for watching
@@ToothTime yeah because they never do it right 😡😩
@@pelon825 do you mean you only have a brackets on a few teeth, and not all of them?
@@rosie8642 like what i mean is that i don’t have the bracket on all theeth.Also my dentist plays around to much! :/ which is kinda bad like really?!? But yea that’s what I mean.
@@pelon825 that’s because if you move teeth too fast if it’s too crowded then your teeth can get hurt by that
Why my cousin have molar bands? While mine dont have?
Nice 😍
What does it mean to get the power chain? Does it mean your teeth are straighter but needs gaps closed?
Hi Beck that is pretty much why you use power chains to close little gaps and to balance your occlusion ! thanks for watching and don't forget to smash that like button :D
@@ToothTime okay! Thank you
please, Why were u used power chain , leveling and alignment good , Is this tension effect on teeth arrangment.
Thanks for watching my friend and like you said we needed more tension to make some specific moves!

Thanks

Are a combination of latex and nitrile gloves being used on the patient?
