I've been always so insecure about my mouth, my lips, my teeth. it's only been a month since i got braces but i swear I've seen changes in my lower teeth already, and im actually quite excited for the 'face change' of braces foe me. Haha!
@@nikkibunny1078 hello! I don't get what you mean, but are u asking me if it hurts when i got some of my teeth removed? No, it didn't hurt because of anesthesia 😄
You don't need that much money if you look into mewing. Here are some resources for you too consider a different, less invasive treatment. Braces almost always require removing teeth, which will shrink your face (but likely only in one spot=uneven face proportions=bad aesthetic changes) ruclips.net/video/rYD8-SiQfak/видео.html
I have a deep bite and my face is definitely changing, my face used to be super short and round and now it looks much better and I feel more confident with my smile and face shape.
@@callmekells802 your jaw will basically get wider but this will create the illusion that your face is smaller as well as lined properly. If you have a deep bite, your face will look more round and moonish than compared without braces and elastics. I don’t recommend extractions, results will have relapse most of the time as well as your face will be sunken.
That's why i can't smile since i was a child. I only learned to smile with teeth showing during college because I took a course that smiling is needed. I always photoshop my teeth in photos. When I talk to someone, i usually talk very fast so that they can't see my teeth properly. I hate it when people notice my teeth. My family and I are too broke to fix my teeth. I also think I have a lot of cavities already. Kinda depressed right now.
Same here. People always ask me to repeat myself because I talk so fast to avoid showing my teeth. My dentist said I have a deep overbite and open bite. I am in dire need of braces lol.
@@Lovethisshittbh If u ask me, i have had mine now for 2 years and i would say its working and changing my face quite good. They should come off in a a few months. It was a painful procedure as i had 6 of my teeth removed in the process. But i would say definitely worth it. Would recommend 10\10
I've completed my braces course just few days back. My lower teeth is over crowded but i didn't remove any teeth nor use expander. It's just aligned well on its own. I'm happy with the outcome of wearing braces, now I can smile and laugh confidently.

And yes, I am pretty excited, too. :)
I have an overbite and crowding. It's doesn't look that bad but still I am very insecure about it. Yesterday I told my parents that I want braces but they don't think that it's a big problem and I don't need it:( I badly want it😭. I know its expensive and time consuming but still I will tell them again and let's hope for the best🤞😢
I hv the same problem as urs there is no that much of visible prob with my teeth but still I extracted my 4 teeth 3 days ago nd as u said I was also so insecure about my teeth nd how I looked while smiling that's y decided to put braces on nd if u can't tolerate the feeling of insecurity talk to ur parents about it nd talk to ur close friends about it nd ask their genuine opinion of on putting the braces..ask them whether ur current teeth is better or not and visit a orthodontist nd ask opinion about putting braces on ur teeth they will gv their opinion nd think twice about whether u wanna really extract teeth because once u extract it u can't go back.
@@gayaquinn7177 thanks a lot for ur advice GAYA, i will really keep that in mind. It gonna help me a lot:) Actually my mom said ok i think I also gonna have braces soon✌
So i had the same problems, my crowding is went away, but the most noticeable jaw changes wont happen til youre like 8 monthes in and you’ll get your elastics for your class 2 bite
When treating for class ll and class lll with elastics it actually changes the face in a negative way. Yes, it corrects the bite, but it also recedes both the maxilla and mandible, statistically making you less attractive.
@@ayad3834 regular braces, or braces without the bands/elastics, have no affect on both lower and upper jaw. Braces only move teeth, they will normally align your teeth accordingly with your dental arch ( if not severely narrow, otherwise you’ll start with a palate expander). In some cases, it may seem like your palate has widen a lil bit as a result of braces, but it’s just your teeth has moved forward and/or outward a bit ( which is not a bad thing, more space for your tongue), your palate is the same. Now, I can’t say what your results will be if you only got braces because it depends on how narrow your palate is and how crowded your teeth are. But if they were to extract teeth out then your jaw (depending which jaw they extracted teeth from) will slowly but surely recede over the years causing more health problems. Wanna learn more then go to “Orthotropics”on RUclips
@@elvisbaezg2966 interesting, I’ve been watching dr mike mew for a while now, and I have been mewing, my palate has expanded a little bit, I could fit more of my tongue on the roof of my mouth compared to the beginning, so it’s evident that I’ve made some progress, my cheekbones haven’t bulged out that much, and my smile is pretty narrow, you could only see 6 upper teeth when I smile and it looks weird, which is why I want to get braces to push it out so it can be broad, and I also think that as a result of my my narrow smile, my maxilla has been affected which is why it’s not pushed out that much
Im having anxiety lately coz im insecure bout my face shape. The right side is bigger than the left side . And i had my braces 2years from now. Hoping for changes😥😫
I also have underbite and kind of openbite. Got 2 teeth extracted below. Had my 1st adjust yesterday, and It is so painful asf. How many months did your teeth closed the gap on the extractions?
@@sofiaann4875 I didnt have any extraxtion.. My underbite fixed itself in around a year thru braces with elastic band training for around 3 to 4 months so the lower teeth would align behind the upper teeth..
@@Sejuani89 that’s amazing! I’m almost 1 month wearing braces and got my 1st adjust last week after my teeth extraction. I can see the gap starting to close. Hope to see good results in 3-4 mos hehehe
I was a class 2 bugs bunny w no chin. Braces changes my facial shape. my facial shape bec oval and was always asked if i am a model. im a 5'9 asian female and difficulty eating made me lose 20 lbs. I became a college heartrob and continued when I started working. Not kidding here and people are surprised whenever they saw my childhood pics. Before one considers cosmetic surgery. Pls consider going to a reputable and experienced orthodontist. It will change your life and its a two way hard work.Dont be lazy on your schedules

You can always talk to your dentist and see if the both of you can work things out. 😊 Thankyou so much for the lovely encouragements! Appreciate it 😍🙏🏻
@@gabriellameattray9778 it can help significantly but for the most part-mewing cant change misaligned teeth in most cases. If its mild, then yes, but if your teeth are crooked getting braces+mewing can be a better option
Some signs of retraction include deeper nasolabial folds, flat/dished in or sloped back profile, under chin area sagging from tongue not fitting in upper arch properly, nose looking more prominent and/or more downturned, less lip support, black corridors at sides of smile.
Extracting teeth was one of the dumbest mistakes I've made. My face became flat and strange looking which was only fixed after getting dental implants and wouldn't you know it, THERE WAS ENOUGH SPACE FOR THEM ALL! Im honestly not sure what these dentists are thinking... I guess 3 procedures are more profitable than one.
It's not for everyone and it's overutilized in some countries because we don't have access to solid data on how often or how severe damage to the periodontal complex is when the teeth are flared out too much with orthodontic treatment (instead of extracting). But the thing you have to realize is if everyone who had premolar extractions *for crowding* had the same extraction reversal treatment you did, you would find that some percentage of them would slowly begin to see bony dehiscences, gingival recession, root exposure and increased susceptibility to periodontal disease as a direct result of moving the teeth beyond the alveolar bone's capacity to remodel. Just because all the teeth appear to fit in the arch when the braces come off doesn't mean it'll stay that way. The consequences take a while to reveal themselves. Sorry to say, you're not out of woods yet, but I sincerely hope luck is on your side and that extractions were indeed unnecessary in your case.
I had an overbite so the dentist had to extract 4 teeth while I still had my braces (2 from top and 2 from the bottom). Problem is, when my teeth had readjusted to close the gaps that the extraction created, I then developed tmj, my jaw hurts and locks a lot when I chew and my face became square. I had a rounder face prior to braces, jaw was not visible. After braces, my jaw seems to grow wider and it's evident especially when the wind blows through my hair and exposes my face. I am still looking if the facial bones can be corrected back to its position. What surgical procedures should I go through? What natural alternative would work? Recommendations would be highly appreciated.
@@riddhiyadav4329 mine did not hurt during the process because of anesthesia. Or it depends on your pain tolerance actually. I'm sure the dentist is good and you will not feel any pain, just the pressure.
@@riddhiyadav4329 Its really bad. Especially if they are going to close the spaces your face will lengthen look worst and you will or might develop tmj and sleep apnea. Please tell them to not close the gap with retraction if already done but with implants. Look out orthotropics on youtube or mewing
@@riddhiyadav4329 If they push back your teeth especially if you’re young there’s high chance you get jaw joints problems and jaw recession this is well known know. You should avoid extraction by any means. Try to find a dentist that expands your upper palate with palate expander or go in orthotropics.com and find one near your area
@@vishnupriyavc5041 thank you. right after I graduate this coming May I hope I can find a job so that I can earn and save money to afford those braces for my teeth.
I'm a bit late to comment but I'm in the same boat! Saved a lot of money for a long time ... but I'm finally getting close to my goal! Don't give up, it'll be worth the time and money!
I hate how braces change my face shape! I used to have long oval face. Even when I smile, my face didn’t seem so big. After 3 years of braces, I realized that my face is rectangular and smiling makes my face look so big! 😢I have a slim body so I have big face and small body. That’s so ugly! I couldn’t even smile anymore in photos. And when I laugh, people comment that I’m ugly. Just now, I got my braces off and even after taking them off, my face still looks rectangular. It was better when I had gaps in my teeth before braces!
I’ve had braces for around 3 years now(Taking then off this year :D) My face shape changed a lot and I feel like my jawline is a lot sharper but I still have cheek fat(Not really but when I smile) I don’t even weigh a lot though e.e
Did u get your molars extracted as well? My orthodontist put the braces on but asked me come a month and a half later to extract my teeth (2up & 2 lower)
My face became flatter after wearing braces and lost its forward growth. My airway and breathing became smaller and more difficult. I hate it, I regret it. My dentist made my teeth worse so he can push me for jaw surgery and make more money, DONT DO IT if u have almost perfect teeth like I did, don't do it and find a good dentist if you do it, don't do it at a place that's greedy for money, find a dentist who really wants to help
@@ivycolettesgarden no I did not have extraction but braces retracted me badly, my wisdom tooth became impacted even tho it wasnt before and it was growing correctly before
I’d say I have a moderate maybe severe overbite it’s about 1cm over and I’m conscious about my side profile but I like my lips the way they are they look full because of it. Will correcting my overbite change my lips. Because when I push my lower jaw forward my lips get smaller. I’m conflicted between full lips or better jaw line 😭😭
Thank you for posting examples of the kinds of bites using popular characters e.g. popeye the sailor man. It really helped me understand the topic better!
Hello mam, last year I started wearing braces as I had an overbite teeth and literally after 8 months I was really satisfied and happy. And everyone started noticing the change. My cheeks were chubby before braces and it became good after few months. Now my teeth is perfectly aligned but my cheeks became chubby again but I'm following the same diet. And my lower teeth gone very much backward and my treatment is not completed..Could you please share a remedy for that🙂❤️
I was gonna get a chin implant because of my weak chin but I decided to go with braces first and see if that’ll fix my over bite and change my profile instead 😀
Hey..I'm 19 and a class 2 case. My upper jaw is forward than the lower and I also have gaps b/w my teeth. I'm worried that I'll become ugly after braces. What do you think@@ivycolettesgarden
@King i think they are talking about how extracting teeth basically affects your jawline and airways in a negative way honestly i agree say no or change your orthodontist if they say theyll extract your teeth theres plenty of evidence about how harmful it can be
I Agree, Don't extract teeth or you'll regret it. I speak from experience. I live in regret everyday... Having my teeth extracted for braces is my one and only regret in life. My orthodontist recommended I extract 4 teeth, I was young/naive and listened to what he said was "best." It ruined my face.... it wasn't what was best for me, it was best and easiest for him. I'm currently looking into getting my spaces opened back up and implants to fix what was done.
@King I believe there's a misunderstanding. I'm talking about having extractions done before getting braces. When you get teeth extracted for orthodontic treatment the orthodontist uses the braces to close the gaps from the extraction site which in turn narrows the arch of the mouth causing facial changes and other issues as well. It's not necessarily the extractions themselves that cause the issue. It's having the gaps from the extractions closed with orthodontic procedure that can cause adverse effects.
I've experienced wisdom tooth extraction last 2020 before covid so now my plan is to have braces but they say it hurts a lot 🤣 I'm not yet ready for a porridge diet only
I think it depends, Before getting braces I thought that I have eat soft foods for about week or two but that's not the case- I got my braces 4 days ago and I'm fine so don't worry. It just feel painful for a day or two. Good luck!
It will gives you tmj do not close the gaps created by extraction with orthodontics treatment put an implant instead ruclips.net/video/8Y4qVy9ZgUg/видео.html

One of the best and funniest videos I've watched on RUclips. Claps hands. Dr.Kayla Teh you've got a new subscriber :)
I have an overbite and crowding. It's doesn't look that bad but still I am very insecure about it. Yesterday I told my parents that I want braces but they don't think that it's a big problem and I don't need it:( I badly want it😭. I know its expensive and time consuming but still I will tell them again and let's hope for the best🤞😢
I hv the same problem as urs there is no that much of visible prob with my teeth but still I extracted my 4 teeth 3 days ago nd as u said I was also so insecure about my teeth nd how I looked while smiling that's y decided to put braces on nd if u can't tolerate the feeling of insecurity talk to ur parents about it nd talk to ur close friends about it nd ask their genuine opinion of on putting the braces..ask them whether ur current teeth is better or not and visit a orthodontist nd ask opinion about putting braces on ur teeth they will gv their opinion nd think twice about whether u wanna really extract teeth because once u extract it u can't go back.
@@rando2000z am very happy for u...may ur new smile bloom..... ✌💜
@@gayaquinn7177 thanks a lot for ur advice GAYA, i will really keep that in mind. It gonna help me a lot:)
Actually my mom said ok i think I also gonna have braces soon✌
So i had the same problems, my crowding is went away, but the most noticeable jaw changes wont happen til youre like 8 monthes in and you’ll get your elastics for your class 2 bite
When treating for class ll and class lll with elastics it actually changes the face in a negative way. Yes, it corrects the bite, but it also recedes both the maxilla and mandible, statistically making you less attractive.
How about if I have a narrow smile, and i decide to get normal braces, will it expand my maxilla or recede it?
@@ayad3834 regular braces, or braces without the bands/elastics, have no affect on both lower and upper jaw. Braces only move teeth, they will normally align your teeth accordingly with your dental arch ( if not severely narrow, otherwise you’ll start with a palate expander). In some cases, it may seem like your palate has widen a lil bit as a result of braces, but it’s just your teeth has moved forward and/or outward a bit ( which is not a bad thing, more space for your tongue), your palate is the same. Now, I can’t say what your results will be if you only got braces because it depends on how narrow your palate is and how crowded your teeth are. But if they were to extract teeth out then your jaw (depending which jaw they extracted teeth from) will slowly but surely recede over the years causing more health problems.
Wanna learn more then go to “Orthotropics”on RUclips
@@elvisbaezg2966 interesting, I’ve been watching dr mike mew for a while now, and I have been mewing, my palate has expanded a little bit, I could fit more of my tongue on the roof of my mouth compared to the beginning, so it’s evident that I’ve made some progress, my cheekbones haven’t bulged out that much, and my smile is pretty narrow, you could only see 6 upper teeth when I smile and it looks weird, which is why I want to get braces to push it out so it can be broad, and I also think that as a result of my my narrow smile, my maxilla has been affected which is why it’s not pushed out that much
@@elvisbaezg2966 hello. I am using elastics and I have an underbite so I’m pretty sure it’s good to use elastics. My side profile will improve.
@@ivycolettesgarden how its going
Im having anxiety lately coz im insecure bout my face shape. The right side is bigger than the left side . And i had my braces 2years from now. Hoping for changes😥😫
Update?
Update??
I love how she’s roasting everybody’s teeth 🦷 very informative 😂🎉
literally made it worse, my braces have literally given me an overbite and my chin is fucking receding
Did they extract the entirety of teeth on your lower jaw or something cuz that’s not supposed to happen bro💀
omgg . really enjoyed the way you ... presented .... This deserves million support.... hope sooon u ll ....
Thankyou Dayadi!☺️🙏
Yes! My jawline got more defined after my teeth got aligned because of braces.. I used to have class 3 profile and a terrible underbite..
I also have underbite and kind of openbite. Got 2 teeth extracted below. Had my 1st adjust yesterday, and It is so painful asf. How many months did your teeth closed the gap on the extractions?
@@sofiaann4875 I didnt have any extraxtion.. My underbite fixed itself in around a year thru braces with elastic band training for around 3 to 4 months so the lower teeth would align behind the upper teeth..
@@Sejuani89 that’s amazing! I’m almost 1 month wearing braces and got my 1st adjust last week after my teeth extraction. I can see the gap starting to close. Hope to see good results in 3-4 mos hehehe
@@sofiaann4875 update?
The best explanation video ever 😍 love that energy ❤️
it really does, i feel like my braces made my face more asymmetrical than before
U mean braces made it less symmetrical?

@@megan5500same 😢
I was a class 2 bugs bunny w no chin. Braces changes my facial shape. my facial shape bec oval and was always asked if i am a model. im a 5'9 asian female and difficulty eating made me lose 20 lbs. I became a college heartrob and continued when I started working. Not kidding here and people are surprised whenever they saw my childhood pics. Before one considers cosmetic surgery. Pls consider going to a reputable and experienced orthodontist. It will change your life and its a two way hard work.Dont be lazy on your schedules
Did you have teeth extraction? Was it overbite?
I have underbite class iii and I hate how my side view looks like :(
Same girl . I look like a drowsy fish hahha
@@rando2000z omg why do u think my situation better ? 😩 cuz I dont like my side view. And is yours too bad ? And I'm sooo glad that u got Ur braces on. Idk what should I do first to fix my underbite😅😭
@@baepriss go to orthodontist
@@zigsaw7161 okayyyyy will do ☺️ thanks for the recommendation
wahh this is so fun to watch haha. thinking of getting braces but still unsure. i'm too scared haha
I'm a class 2. I feel confident with my facial structure and my smile (without teeth tho). I always wanted to have braces because I want to smile WITH teeth. But I'm afraid that my face would look different and would harm my confidence instead... Btw, I love your humor! Your channel is underrated. You deserve more subscribers and views! I subscribed! 💖
Samee
You can always talk to your dentist and see if the both of you can work things out. 😊 Thankyou so much for the lovely encouragements! Appreciate it 😍🙏🏻
@@gabriellameattray9778 it can help significantly but for the most part-mewing cant change misaligned teeth in most cases. If its mild, then yes, but if your teeth are crooked getting braces+mewing can be a better option
@@gabriellameattray9778 When you say worse... in what way?? You mean thiner? or smaller?... how?
Some signs of retraction include deeper nasolabial folds, flat/dished in or sloped back profile, under chin area sagging from tongue not fitting in upper arch properly, nose looking more prominent and/or more downturned, less lip support, black corridors at sides of smile.
you're really good at explaining things, detailed
Extracting teeth was one of the dumbest mistakes I've made. My face became flat and strange looking which was only fixed after getting dental implants and wouldn't you know it, THERE WAS ENOUGH SPACE FOR THEM ALL! Im honestly not sure what these dentists are thinking... I guess 3 procedures are more profitable than one.
It's not for everyone and it's overutilized in some countries because we don't have access to solid data on how often or how severe damage to the periodontal complex is when the teeth are flared out too much with orthodontic treatment (instead of extracting). But the thing you have to realize is if everyone who had premolar extractions *for crowding* had the same extraction reversal treatment you did, you would find that some percentage of them would slowly begin to see bony dehiscences, gingival recession, root exposure and increased susceptibility to periodontal disease as a direct result of moving the teeth beyond the alveolar bone's capacity to remodel. Just because all the teeth appear to fit in the arch when the braces come off doesn't mean it'll stay that way. The consequences take a while to reveal themselves. Sorry to say, you're not out of woods yet, but I sincerely hope luck is on your side and that extractions were indeed unnecessary in your case.
Wow never seen a doctor so energetic 😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I had an overbite so the dentist had to extract 4 teeth while I still had my braces (2 from top and 2 from the bottom). Problem is, when my teeth had readjusted to close the gaps that the extraction created, I then developed tmj, my jaw hurts and locks a lot when I chew and my face became square. I had a rounder face prior to braces, jaw was not visible. After braces, my jaw seems to grow wider and it's evident especially when the wind blows through my hair and exposes my face. I am still looking if the facial bones can be corrected back to its position. What surgical procedures should I go through? What natural alternative would work? Recommendations would be highly appreciated.
I am gonna get my 4 theet extraction tomorow I am super scared did it hurt?
@@riddhiyadav4329 mine did not hurt during the process because of anesthesia. Or it depends on your pain tolerance actually. I'm sure the dentist is good and you will not feel any pain, just the pressure.
@@riddhiyadav4329 Its really bad. Especially if they are going to close the spaces your face will lengthen look worst and you will or might develop tmj and sleep apnea. Please tell them to not close the gap with retraction if already done but with implants. Look out orthotropics on youtube or mewing
@@boubi9329 u scaring me I am getting the extraction for braces and my dentist said that this is the only way to push back my theet
@@riddhiyadav4329 If they push back your teeth especially if you’re young there’s high chance you get jaw joints problems and jaw recession this is well known know. You should avoid extraction by any means. Try to find a dentist that expands your upper palate with palate expander or go in orthotropics.com and find one near your area
Wow your explanation is so clear
how I wish to have a job so that I can afford having braces to fix my teeth 😔
Don't worry, you can wear braces soon and you will become more good looking😎
@@vishnupriyavc5041 thank you. right after I graduate this coming May I hope I can find a job so that I can earn and save money to afford those braces for my teeth.
@@markgilgirado1644 Your wish will come true bro.
I'm a bit late to comment but I'm in the same boat! Saved a lot of money for a long time ... but I'm finally getting close to my goal! Don't give up, it'll be worth the time and money!
@@sascharadke8450 yep, I'm gonna work hard, earn money, save, and go get my teeth fixed.
dr kayla gives me a happy vibes😂
doctor after putting braces my cheeks are very very thin and my face appearance is very bad comparing before...what I do? is this because of braces?
I like, the way Dr explained the Topic🙏
Glad you liked it! 🦷😁
2:38 imagine your dentist pulling your teeth like this 😢😂😂😂
I wish it’s that easy. Haha 😆😂
*She could be a great teacher*
I hate how braces change my face shape! I used to have long oval face. Even when I smile, my face didn’t seem so big. After 3 years of braces, I realized that my face is rectangular and smiling makes my face look so big! 😢I have a slim body so I have big face and small body. That’s so ugly! I couldn’t even smile anymore in photos. And when I laugh, people comment that I’m ugly. Just now, I got my braces off and even after taking them off, my face still looks rectangular. It was better when I had gaps in my teeth before braces!
Western doctors make people ugly they like the strong masculine appearance
Oh my god ur explanation is something different, really love it!!! Thankyou for the information, im getting my braces really soon! Love u! 💖
Thankyou for the kind comment! All the best to your braces journey!!!
I’ve had braces for around 3 years now(Taking then off this year :D) My face shape changed a lot and I feel like my jawline is a lot sharper but I still have cheek fat(Not really but when I smile) I don’t even weigh a lot though e.e
Did u get your molars extracted as well? My orthodontist put the braces on but asked me come a month and a half later to extract my teeth (2up & 2 lower)
@@AJ-zu4uf mine did
Your case is which class? Overbite or under?
Great channel. The animations makes the videos more attractive 😍😍. All the best Dr. Kayla 🎉🎉
Thankyou!! Appreciate the encouragement!😍😍🙏🏻🙏🏻
where is your clinic doc? otw now😂
i love it when she use matthew (neville longbottom) as an example
potterhead here
My face became flatter after wearing braces and lost its forward growth. My airway and breathing became smaller and more difficult. I hate it, I regret it. My dentist made my teeth worse so he can push me for jaw surgery and make more money, DONT DO IT if u have almost perfect teeth like I did, don't do it and find a good dentist if you do it, don't do it at a place that's greedy for money, find a dentist who really wants to help
So sorry for to hear this. What was your problem when you put on braces?
Did u do extractions? This is a problem of extractions and this is why it’s not recommend by many dentists
@@ivycolettesgarden no I did not have extraction but braces retracted me badly, my wisdom tooth became impacted even tho it wasnt before and it was growing correctly before
@@Aegianlulz it was for 1 misaligned tooth but I just ended up with a bad dentist who damaged everything else
@@Steffi5376 oh my
This is the most entertaining and informative video I have watched about tooth.. 😀😀
Thankyou!!!
I’d say I have a moderate maybe severe overbite it’s about 1cm over and I’m conscious about my side profile but I like my lips the way they are they look full because of it. Will correcting my overbite change my lips. Because when I push my lower jaw forward my lips get smaller. I’m conflicted between full lips or better jaw line 😭😭
Beauty is in eye of beholder...
Today I had my braces 😊
Thank you for posting examples of the kinds of bites using popular characters e.g. popeye the sailor man. It really helped me understand the topic better!
Hello mam, last year I started wearing braces as I had an overbite teeth and literally after 8 months I was really satisfied and happy. And everyone started noticing the change. My cheeks were chubby before braces and it became good after few months. Now my teeth is perfectly aligned but my cheeks became chubby again but I'm following the same diet. And my lower teeth gone very much backward and my treatment is not completed..Could you please share a remedy for that🙂❤️
Now what's your case?
Can braces shorten philtrum?
I wish my dentist is as happy as you Dr. Kayla 😊 btw I love all your videos ❤
I was gonna get a chin implant because of my weak chin but I decided to go with braces first and see if that’ll fix my over bite and change my profile instead 😀
That’s a good decision :)
Did it change anything? Has your chin gotten longer or your face in general ?
My name is Akila too
I don't have underbite or overbite but my lower teeth midline is like 2-3 mm to the left, and my mouth looks weird when talking 😑
i love her personality
but i think , after i got braces my face look more asymmetrical and makes me insecure sometime
Mee too..
Did u get extractions?
Hey..I'm 19 and a class 2 case. My upper jaw is forward than the lower and I also have gaps b/w my teeth. I'm worried that I'll become ugly after braces. What do you think@@ivycolettesgarden
I love this !! I could watch her videos the whole day Ahaha and perfect teacher 👩🏫
My face is already big and long..I'm afraid of ruin my face after wearing braces 😢
It will, type mewing and maybe your face will get less shorter while putting your tongue on your palate
Thanks for this video! Now I understand more about braces!
no problem! Glad you find it helpful! :)
Such dedication must be appreciated. 👍🏻 thank you Doctor. I hope you all the best.
Thank you so much! Appreciate the kind words☺️🙏🏻

As an orthodontist what is your opinion on Orthotropics (which is slowly getting more popular on the internet)?
Hmm am i the only one here who's not actually listening to doc kayla but rather focus on her beauty? 🥰 Indeed! I got stunned by you doc
Got braces today and I'm really looking forward to seeing results :)
How’s it going so far? Has your face or chin gotten longer? That is, if you had an overbite
Any update?
@@al_6229 what about your chin bro?
It does change the facial structure...
Great video..love the humor. " the crowded teeth have no concept of social distancing "lol
Haha Thank YOU for appreciating it!
Still the best explanation video 🤩❤
Braces are ok, but NEVER extract teeth or you will regret :)
Y ??wat to do if d tooth is completely damage.
@King i think they are talking about how extracting teeth basically affects your jawline and airways in a negative way honestly i agree say no or change your orthodontist if they say theyll extract your teeth theres plenty of evidence about how harmful it can be
I Agree, Don't extract teeth or you'll regret it. I speak from experience. I live in regret everyday... Having my teeth extracted for braces is my one and only regret in life. My orthodontist recommended I extract 4 teeth, I was young/naive and listened to what he said was "best." It ruined my face.... it wasn't what was best for me, it was best and easiest for him. I'm currently looking into getting my spaces opened back up and implants to fix what was done.
@King I'm glad you didn't have any negative side effects like some people do. You're lucky.
@King I believe there's a misunderstanding. I'm talking about having extractions done before getting braces. When you get teeth extracted for orthodontic treatment the orthodontist uses the braces to close the gaps from the extraction site which in turn narrows the arch of the mouth causing facial changes and other issues as well. It's not necessarily the extractions themselves that cause the issue. It's having the gaps from the extractions closed with orthodontic procedure that can cause adverse effects.
"Your face may look shorter. Like a chipmunk!" 🤣🤣
I've experienced wisdom tooth extraction last 2020 before covid so now my plan is to have braces but they say it hurts a lot 🤣 I'm not yet ready for a porridge diet only
I think it depends, Before getting braces I thought that I have eat soft foods for about week or two but that's not the case- I got my braces 4 days ago and I'm fine so don't worry. It just feel painful for a day or two. Good luck!
It will gives you tmj do not close the gaps created by extraction with orthodontics treatment put an implant instead ruclips.net/video/8Y4qVy9ZgUg/видео.html
I don't listen on what you say😭😭😭😭.
I just enjoy your expression 😚😚😚😚😚.
I have a receeding chin (a weak jaw) where my low jaw is back while the upper jaw is ã lil in front it’s so ugly and I hate my side profile it’s so embarrassing will braces fix it like forever ?
For you, I recommend braces and elastics. It will bring ur lower jaw forward and ur side profile will improve allr
Will taking teeth out make your face look smaller than how it used to be
