Your adjustment really helped me learn how to adjust mines! Thank you!!!
Glad I could help!
Well explained 😊
Thank you 🙂
Thank you
You're welcome 😊
I got my retainers adjusted. But the upper became loose. And the gap between my teeth is not closing, it's getting bigger.
got to go to your dentist and get it tightened
@@Straightsmilesolutions it was actually my dentist who adjusted it. 😅
@@flomerlitatopinio8894 I believe they’re saying go back to the dentist/orthodontist and have them readjust it. I had to do this as well. Usually they tell you to come back as soon as you notice a problem with the retainer so it can be readjusted before your teeth shift too much.
Yeah. My dentist was in a hurry because she was having a headache. I was her last client. So I guess she didn't have time to check my fitting any further.
Is there a way to tighten them ?? My lower one is very loose
I would have your dentist do it
Good information video
So nice of you
Thank you for sharing this video online.
I recently got my spring retainers and the third week the top mouth retainer - the left k-9 side - feels uncomfortable when I talk. The best way to explain it is when I’m smiling and then retract my smile I can feel it against my mouth.
Do you suggest I need an adjust? I feel like my ortho didn’t explain much to me when or how often to get my retainers adjusted. I’m new to retainers and need them for minor teeth shift.
I think you should mention the discomfort to your doc? It could be SO many things!! Usually this resolves after you wear full time for at least a month.
@@Straightsmilesolutions Appreciate the comment.
Literally came back from a follow up appointment. My Ortho said to “get used to it” and provided a short explanation as to how if he shifts the loop along the k-9 tooth it’ll start to impact my gums.
Luckily his assistant provided me a strip of wax and showed me how to apply the wax to the retainer in case the discomfort becomes too much.
Can it be tightened without these pliers?
Without ANY pliers? I've managed to tighten them with OTHER dental pliers in a pinch but it's not as accurate
Gen- dentist here. Can hawley close a 1-2mm gap between the cannine and premolar? We do have an overjet . But will hawley help.
Depends on what kind of hawley and it also depends on the bite- no guarantees. Take a look at the content I have here- ruclips.net/video/WL6gA5Q9CB4/видео.html
Best suggestion is to toss it in invis or clearcorrect first to check interference and to see if it's even POSSIBLE as single arch and then if you want to try the wrap-retainer you can TRY but this would be a NO GUARANTEES thing, they would need to sign for that. Also no refunds. Full time wear for 3-4 months with a few adjustments? Most adults won't wear that. Aligners are way easier

Hello,
When do yo plan to present us your personnal 3x3 retainer ?
sorry what's a "personnal 3x3" retainer? Do you mean a bonded/fixed 3-3 retainer? Are you talking about upper or lower?
good question for each aligner company it's different but for Align when they say 20 it's 40 total: 20 upper/20 lower
Sets of 20. that's mod in the US.
sorry I don't understand- do you mean bonded retainer?
Hello, a 3x3 lower hawley spring retainer.

@@jeromehugues a spring aligner? I have some content on that ruclips.net/video/syCKjbfSzkE/видео.html
I have a small tooth gap in my 2 front teeth. Where would I have to tighten for the gap to go away?
Your dentist or orthodontist will tighten your braces or retainer to close the gap but only if there's overjet to do it.
Hi! I was given a Hawley retainer to help close a posterior open bite. I am a week in, and it has pushed my front top and bottom teeth in, to where everything is extremely tight and uncomfortable. I noticed that the hard acrylic underneath is flush to all teeth, EXCEPT the front four top and bottom teeth. Could that have been done on purpose to push them inward to tighten my bite, or should they be flush to ALL teeth? Not sure what the norm is for these retainers, even though I had one years ago and do not remember feeling any movement inward like this, or any at all. Thanks!
sorry not really sure someone would need to check this clinically- plenty of orthos do free services like that or check out a dental school
Can you show how to loosen the loops if they are too tight, thank you!
I thought I did in the video? It's with a bird beak
Thank you!!!
You're welcome!
Hi! I have the hawley's retainer which can be activated. However, during the last activation I noticed that the retainer seemed really loose. I suspect I might have loosened the labial bow too much? What do I do now?
Go to your dentist or any orthodontist to have them check
My teeth shifted a little bit after braces and i was given this retainer i used it for some time ( inconsistently tho ) then left it for like a month or more then I started wearing it again ( inconsistently) but now i’ve decided imma wear it consistently and the wire is touching my front teeth and there is pressure ( with some pain ) but my question is how is it still fitting normally after all this time of not wearing it ? Am I missing out on something?
Also i wanna know since the pressure is causing a lil pain ( bearable, not that much ) am I hurting my teeth ?
Go to your ortho to get it adjusted
Dental student. That was super helpful! Short and sweet! Do you have any videos of proclining retroclined incisors i.e crossbite cases?
I probably do? Try searching by keyword in my channel- also we have some webinars coming up that cover that- linktr.ee/straightsmilesolutions
my upper front wire not adjust in the middle its come at the end of teeth what should i do
You should contact your dentist or orthodontist and let them know that there is a small emergency and that you need your wire adjusted and put back in... Have you contacted your doctor directly? This is not something you can do yourself
@@Straightsmilesolutions is it any serious issue if i fix it after one week ?
@@rabbiashafique248 you should ask your ortho
Can retainer push back my upper front teeth without braces please reply
Yes sometimes- that's what we discuss in this video but not always. Your dentists must check your bite to see if this is possible
How do u loosen them
I explain this in the video
How much time it takes...I have same kind of removable brace and it's been almost 3 months my front tooth is still not moving from its place
You may not have clearance? It only works if you have clearance to do it (and if it's tight enough). If no clearance, you need ortho to retract the lower teeth to get clearance. Any orthodontist can explain more.
Our clip tightening plzz
Not to going doctors help
With ur video
I have no idea what you said!
When it is to be considered the finish of the treatment...
When the space is closed
is there a way to loosen them?
Yes I just flip around the 3 prong plier to loosen
