I just got braces put on my teeth. Watching your videos has continued to educate me about what I can do to make this journey have a better outcome. I bought this electric toothbrush and I am pleased with the thorough job it’s doing with my braces. I don’t want to go through with doing the braces and then having teeth repaired because of inadequate care. Thanks so much for sharing this with information with us 😁
Hello, i'm gonna get braces in some days, i have questions about braces so if u can gimme some time to answer my questions that'd help me alot, thank's
Hey I find that I’m replacing my toothbrush head a lot more regularly with my braces (around once a month). I’m not sure if this means I’m brushing too hard?
Can you do a video on more affordable brushes? This is great, but I don't have over $300 to spend. I recently purchased a smart Quip brush to make sure I brush 2x daily, especially as I get closer to double jaw surgery
I got a sonic toothbrush from Amazon. Brand is Fairywill. It's around 30 dollars plus at times, there will be a coupon for a few dollars off. Best toothbrush hands down! If your device stops working, Fairywill has no problem sending a replacement. I also use their water flosser.
I haven't read the research, but I would think a reason people who use electric toothbrushes are more likely to have better oral health is because not only can they afford an electric toothbrush, but they actually sought it out and bought one. Those who don't take good care of their teeth, and a poor oral routine, probably don't have an electric toothbrush. Not discounting that an electric brush is better, it is by far, but I think there would be more factors that could affect the numbers shown. There are probably better metrics to use to prove an electric brush is better.
actually, your toothbrush doesn't matter as much as your technique does. bristles need to be soft or super soft, you should not apply too much pressure and if your toothbrush is not electric - use circular motion. And always pay most attention to the gumline, that's where most plaque resides.
I've never used an electric brush. To me the manual is more thorough and gentler on the gums. My dentist and orthodontist both say my teeth and gums are beautiful and ask me what I do. So you don't have to use an electric brush to practice good oral hygiene.
@@mdooms76 It actually depends on if the person’s teeth layout needs a flat head toothbrush or a round head toothbrush regardless if it’s electric or not. So you’re right it’s not really a matter of electric or not. If someone has crowded teeth, it’s hard to get every crevice using a flat head toothbrush and they would need a round head that would hug each tooth separately.
Sometimes I feel like people are genuinely oblivious to peoples situations. Who in there right mind can just drop 300 on a tooth brush. It’s sad that teeth and anything medical/ dental is a luxury in what is a “first world country”
Do you know anything about gum grafting and also pinhole technique surgery? My dentist said said i should consider something like this because my braces have pushed my teeth forward and caused my gums to recede. But there is so much confusing information on google. What are your thoughts about it and how successful it is and so on?
Because of the newer brushes coming out all their other ones that do the same are going down in price I got mine for 40 bucks from Walmart and was 120 originally
@WWE Action Figure Matches it takes time but you can still play. I’ve just about got all my range back again now. Wax will be your best friend but if you use too much it will make it harder to play. Good luck 🙂.
I just bought this Oral B e-brush and I can tell it's much better than the manual one. My teeth feels so clean and smooth after using them compared to when I brush with manual and no matter how hard I brush one spot where I feel some rough surface, it just doesn't come off.
what is wrong w that one person who dislike this vid ? are you mad ? he's helping people w braces not insulting them💀 btw where is my "getting braces soon" gang. im getting them next monday. so excited and nervous edit: i just get them on today. its been almost 2 hours and it hurt just a bit. its doesnt hurt that bad but i think it depends on the person tho. actually braces in my country is way cheaper. if i change my countrys currency to usas. it cost like $750. btw i was wondering am i the only one who didnt do scaling. my dentist didnt say anything bout it. hm
I have the model before this one, and I must say, it's the best toothbrush I've ever had. I used to have a lot of plaque on my teeth, but since I started using it I barely have any plaque on my teeth.
Please respond to Dr. mike i really want a debate and a scientific talk.I learned alot form both of your channels and i want to clear up all this confusion.I just want to learn the truth.Pls Pls Pls.
Your videos are very informative. Can u tell me if my lower jaw is backward than upper jaw and giving me TMD, can I get it fixed without surgery? Hoping for ur reply.
Hey, I just got braces through Wow! Smiles and they placed my brackets very high on my teeth, nearly touching my gum. Now that I am doing some research I don’t know if that’s the best placement. What do I do now!? :). How important is the placement of the bracket? Thanks!
what do I do if my entire wire came off? Can I put the wire back in fully sense I know which side goes where? And would it cost more money to get it fixed at the ortho?
Companies are intentionally making badly designed manual toothbrushes with useless gimmicks to make manual toothbrush less effective so as to make people switch to electric ones ... I know because I've tried so many old/new manual toothbrushes and rotating/sonic electric ones ... the best is still the older traditional manual toothbrush which is more and more difficult to find in the market (which is flooded with gimmicky toothbrushes that does not clean as effectively) ... I would like to say FU to all the toothbrush companies ... give me back my old traditional manual toothbrush, I can't even find one in my neighbourhood supermarket !
Hello, i am from Belgium. What is de serie number of the best IO toothbrush. Because there are different ones. (7, 8 or 9) S or N? Thank you for your video’s, i like the many tips you give! Gr Nathalie
Hi! im getting braces on in a lil over a week im really nervous and excited I got my xrays pand pictures today and your channel has made me not so nervous
Thank you for the recommendation. I saw in another video from a periodontist that those who have receding gums shouldn’t use an electric brushes because that makes it worse. What’s your professional opinion on that?
I was wondering if anyone knows this: I just started elastics and power chains. I was given the "Elliott" elastics and I do a triangle pattern. I was wondering do you always stay with the same name elastics? Or do they change over time?
Don't worry. Its normal. Its been four months that i got my braces and I noticed the gap after second month. It's just one of the phases of your alignment journey.
I don’t mean to be rude or anything but you acknowledged that it’s blasphemy to say that “ it’s better to have clean teeth than to have straight teeth”… but you didn’t acknowledge that you blasphemed the name of God right before that…Using God’s name in vain is very serious. It’s dishonoring the creator who gave you life…
Dr Greg can you explain BUMPERS? I hate them. I got a filling of it done on my top teeth so my top teeth don’t collide against my bottom brackets. That didn’t work so I got two bands replaced with a special bumper band. Hopefully that makes sense LOL please explain!!
I have a question.. I got power chains on just today but i heard you get power chains at the near-end of your treatment but i got my braces when it hasn't been a year yet, why would this happen and let me know why! (I got my braces August 25 2020)
There are about 9 iterations of the IO now - Walmart carries Series 3 & 4, but it goes up to Series 9. Can you explain if the Series 3 or 4 are good enough?
do you know what pitts 21 braces are? i have those and the brochure says they are faster and more efficient. they are also smaller than normal braces and u don’t get to choose color.
Hi! I have a few questions. 1. Is it possible for my orthodontist to remove my braces when my teeth is not aligned (in the middle) properly? 2. What is the least to best process/method to whiten teeth (regardless of price)? 3. What vitamins should I intake to strengthen my teeth while installed with braces? Thanks, Doc! :)
I couldn't find the link as I would like to check out this toothbrush as my daughter will be getting braces later this year after her time with a palette expander!
doc please make a video about jewelries/gems/diamond-like crystals that are placed on the teeth. i see it most often with celebrities and those that has already nice alignment of teeth. it's like an a design or for aesthetic purposes
I'm having a lip-side impacted canine behind by lateral incisor in the upper jaw, which is because of an adult baby tooth that hasn't fallen. What are the best and worst-case scenarios for its treatment ???
DO NOT SPEND $300!!! I bought a mid tier Oral-B electric tooth brush that looks the EXACT same even with pressure notifications that is normally $100+ at most retailers for $39 at Costco. How??? Well, to clarify… Costco had a 2 pack of them for $99, so $49 each… but them had them on sale for $79 for 2. So I bought a 2 pack, kept one and gave one as a gift to a relative. You don’t need to spend $200 on a quality Oral-B tooth brush. Also, for the most part, they all use the exact same heads, which you will have to purchase often.
PS: When I say “mid tier”, keep in mind, I think they are the EXACT same tooth brush, just minus the app and Bluetooth. Mine has the pressure sensitive notifications, same quiet hum, same oscillating heads. SAME EVERYTHING, minus Bluetooth and app. Are you willing to pay an extra $250 for the EXACT same toothbrush, but you get an app? If so, go for it. If you don’t like setting money on fire, but you want a quality toothbrush, buy an Oral-B at Costco. PS: I bought both an Oral-B and Sonicare (also on sale) and I LOVE both for different reasons. I think the Oral-B is superior at cleaning all around each tooth, especially molars, due to the shape, but I finish with my Sonicare because it makes my mouth feel much more clean and stimulated.
I get have 6 congenitally missing permanent teeth and two baby teeth have already been extracted. I have an appointment for the last 4 extractions next week, and then I get braces. My ortho said that by the time I finish my treatment, I been eligible for implants. So please wish me luck on this crazy journey.✌🏾🙏🏾
Hi. I was using the Oral B electric toothbrush but when I got braces, just last month, the woman that gave me supplies like wax, floss, etc. told me I shouldn’t use the electric toothbrush because it may be too powerful and loosen the braces. I’m very confused now if you are saying it’s okay.
I was also told to use a soft toothbrush, i use Colgate soft toothbrush , been using it for 4 months and my dentist always praises how clean my teeth are...

Now do a video about best toothpastes! 🙂
Definitely
That’d be great although toothpastes vary worldwide
Hey I find that I’m replacing my toothbrush head a lot more regularly with my braces (around once a month). I’m not sure if this means I’m brushing too hard?
I’d assume that it’s because there’s more surfaces to brush.
I'm also going through brushes once a month with my braces on.
It’s too expensive to be fair and we don’t really need all the bells and whistles. Just bring out a toothbrush which does what it says on the tin...

Oral b has a toothbrush that's 19 bucks and does the same without all the other things this one has

What electric toothbrush do you recommend as an affordable alternative to the electric toothbrush you mentioned?

I was considering the Oral B iO as an option, but then I found the Oclean Flow which I prefer. And I think it's really better.
I'm getting braces next week on the 25. Watching your video is really helping prepare me for it. Thank you!
Can you please cite the study you are referencing the percent improvement with oscillating vs sonic brush heads from?
