Think about it jaw surgery is like 40k and braces are like 3k so their braces plus that thing are probably like 38k because I'm sure it costs less than the actual surgery Edit: ok it's 6k I'm pretty sure without insurance
I wish my orthodontist suggested this instead of trying to pressure me to get the surgery a few years later. I would rather have this option to consider instead of only being pushed in one way without someone asking me what I want with my own body.
@Purpleisurfav ugh that's stupid, they should've made sure it was secure. So you had to go through that and it reset itself afterwards? That sucks, but I hope you are okay. Glad it helped at least a little.
Later she will be grateful. Some dentists couldn't care less, and would give you the normal bracers that won't fix your problem, but just straighten your teeth
I used that when I was 10 years old and my mom obliged me to go to school using that 😖 The first week I came back home crying because people said bad things to me and when I said to my mom she always answered “Sweet, don’t worry. Don’t hear bad stuff like that, your smile will be amazing soon and people will have bad teeth”. And when I started to not care about commentaries, they stopped. Now I’m 27 and always receive compliments about my NATURAL and beauty smile ❤
As an adolescent I refused to wear my headgear. Flatly refused. Guess what? In my early 20s I had to have that surgery where they broke both my jaws and screwed them back in a more appropriate place. Massively expensive and a loooong recovery time. Wear your headgear, kids!
As someone who had both of her jaws broken at age 16 to get them aligned properly, I would have MUCH rather had this!! I am 26 now and still get pains to this day from my surgery. Be grateful they didn’t have to break your jaws!!
Had jaw surgery last year after 2 years of braces. I don’t know why none of my dentists/ortho recommended what this person has when I was younger. Because I’m telling you, getting told I needed jaw surgery at 19 years old (when I was told years prior that I just needed braces) was not IT
@@REChronic54 Your Jaw grows for a long time. So you might not have needed it at the time but as you grew older your jaw misaligned because one of them grew more than the other. Thats what happened to me. Got braces at 13 and when I was done I had perfect teeth. Then I got older and developed a small underbite which I had to fix through jaw surgery (that I had last year, am 30 now). Fortunately I dont have any problem after the double jaw surgery except some missing sensation on my chin.
I had headgear and they said that you don’t have to wear it at school and that wearing it right after school is fine (also I’m so glad I had it bc if I had waited I would have to get jaw surgery and I honestly only had to wear it for a few months so I’m very grateful)
My 14yr old was threatened with one of these 😂 Doc told her if she didn’t wear her rubber bands that this was her future. She’s never worn those rubber bands better.
nah bro fr pretty sure that's the headgear my dad had to have as a kid for his teeth thankfully i have relatively straight teeth for now so i'll probably just get invisalign when it's time (i say as of now because it's almost football season again and that might fuck shit up but i doubt it ngl)

I had to have jaw surgery despite having had these special contraptions beforehand. If you need jaw surgery to fix a bite there ain't no contraption that can save you from it. Also, I didn't need to have my jaws wired shut and I was allowed to eat soft food after 3 weeks as long as I was careful. Sure it hurt during the healing process and sucked not being able to eat solids but honestly if you want to take good care of your braces then you're adviced to not eat whatever you want anyways. What happens after surgery depends on the type of jaw surgery so stop spreading a blanket statement about jaw surgery and scaring people off.
I had to wear this in the 7th grade! I only had to wear it at night, but I would skip it allll the time. Eventually, my orthodontist told me that if I didn’t start wearing it when I was supposed to, I’d have to start wearing it during the day at school. That was enough of a threat to make me start wearing it 🤣 my best friend tried so hard getting a picture of me in it when I would stay over. She never accomplished that goal though. Oh the memories 🤣
I had headgear I wore at night. I am 59. I was 20 and wore it to work in a drug store. Hard to believe I know. I got my braces off in 18 months. My siblings would not wear theirs so they wore them about 3 years. I thought it was funny when kids would say hey what happened to your face. Adults thought I had a broken jaw. 😁
As someone who did get mandible & maxilla surgery at 16 (where they break your jaw and adjust your bite) I would highly reccomend this weird contraption over having metal permanently lodged in my upper & lower jaw and having scar tissue around my entire gumline that still feels weird to this day. (Almost 9 years later)
Welp, guess I'm screwed lol. I'm getting my double jaw surgery in June! I was given the option of the medieval headgear when i was ten, but the chance of it not working for all the bullying i would get for it was not worth it. Can you imagine how much you'd be teased as a ten year old with that thing on at school?
@@galaxykitten6849I’m getting mine sometime soon. As scary as it sounds, having an underbite and not being able to bite into an apple just doesn’t sound like a good way to live. I’m team surgery if it’s really needed.
The scar tissue is minimal and depends on the doctor you go to. The metal can be removed with another minor and minimally invasive surgery 1 year after the initial jaw surgery. Many people do not experience any negative side effects aside from a rough recovery time. Whenever you do something like this, make sure you go to the best surgeon you can find, and go every the entire surgical process to have the highest chance of avoiding any and all nerve damage, etc.
My son had one as well. At 16 he went through a growth spurt that made his bottom jaw just jut out big time. It didn't change his face to much but it sure made it difficult for him to eat. He said...best decision ever!! These contraptions weren't even an option for him. Have surgery or look like a cojo salmon or bulldog.
My dad had that done and my ortho gave me that option to fix my underbite. My dad said no because it was the worst experience of his life and doesn’t want me to go through it
Yep! But the other day I left a comment referring to someone as "they" and I got ppl in the replies saying "you mean SHE" like bro I didn't know. I was trying to be respectful 😭
Why did my orthodontist not suggest anything like this instead of trying to pressure me to get a surgery when I am a teenager, just before I would turn 18. I already had huge outside braces for a few years, I could've handled this too!
You probably saw him too late. This only works when you’re really young, around age 8. Also it depends if you’re talking about the upper or lower jaw. The only thing facemask is really used for these days is to bring the upper jaw forward (reverse pull headgear).
@@Blackindian723 it's not very nice to assume things like that. I saw an orthodontist really young, plus I know these things only work in the peak of growing, otherwise I wouldn't have said this. Though the person in the video doesn't look that young? However, I thought this was about bringing the lower jaw forward, since I thought the Bentist pointed at his lower jaw and he talked about the breaking surgery, which often happens with the lower jaw. So thank you for mentioning the upper jaw, I will look into that, maybe I misunderstood that in the video.
@@veerlevanmerwijk7862 Sorry, didn’t mean to offend. In my opinion, the Bentist is way oversimplifying. Keep in mind, he’s not an orthodontist and therefore never even used headgear on his patients. Headgear for the lower jaw isn’t really a thing, and has been replaced by functional appliances these days (google Forsus appliance or Herbst) which can help bring the lower jaw forward and don’t require as much compliance as headgear. Also in my opinion it looks like this patient is too old for headgear and almost done with treatment. If I had to guess she had the headgear laying around from when she used it when she was younger and just wanted to make a video.
@@Blackindian723 thank you for your apology, sometimes things come off less nice in text than they are meant to, sorry for misunderstanding. I get what you are saying, I also think he is simplifying to keep it understandable for the audience and to keep it short for the video. But I agree that he's missing some points here. I will Google those suggestions, you got me curious, thank you!
I’m the girl who had to have the surgery “later in life,” cause they slighted me on the headgear as a young one. It’s basically the headgear PLUS surgery when you have your face broken + rearranged 🤗
Honestly, eating is better (when I’m not in pain in the areas where my screws are placed) & my speech improved as well. BUT I have a considerable amount of pain 10yrs later.. It was a medically necessary procedure, but it didn’t come without long-term consequences. I have mixed reviews…
My moms cousin never got this done as a kid and ended up needing the surgery with both jaws broken. Her face was so swollen and puffy she had trouble keeping her eyes open. Eventually just the bottom of her face was puffy and it took over a month for swelling to go down any more but she desperately needed the surgery and is super happy now
I had a similar headgear but with only one pole in the middle. I thought it would make me cross-eyed😂😂😂 I mean, I'm happy I don't have an overbite now lol
Thank god my mom got my jaw fixed when I was still growing. It completely changed my face and I get a lot of compliments now on my jawline, when it used to be underdeveloped!
I have a 3mm underbite. I’ve had it all my life. I never asked my mom if the dentist wanted to fix it. I was a very difficult child though! I remember needing gas at the dentist to keep calm and still enough for them to do ANYTHING. Now as an adult….psh I can eat and that’s all that matters to me! Surgery that requires out to two years of recovery just to make my smile look normalized? Nope. No thanks. I’ll keep my weird smile!
🥹 i aspire to have your confidence- i have an 7-8 mm underbite. My parents are encouraging me to have a major surgery and i am still unsure. Going for a consultation next month, hopefully it goes well. If not- i will live w/ my underbite. Ain’t hurting no one or me
@@fullofkkI’m with you guys! I’ve got a severe underbite. I’m getting mine done. I’m scared, of course. But it’s really not for vanity reasons. I can’t speak properly, eat properly, or breathe properly because of it. Get a good surgeon. That’s the important part.
I literally had this for like, a year. ITS PURE TORTURE!!!!! The biggest problem is the fact that I had to wear this mainly in your sleep, and the rubber bands kept unattaching from the mask thing, and smack me in the face at 2 am. I was in fourth grade as well, before I learned how to ignore pain.
@Harley Quinn actually, with my experience, they just put an expander with hooks in your mouth, and you attach the rubber bands to the hooks on the expander then the hooks on the mask, and that’s it. Fair warning to those who are getting this device, but don’t have it yet, first few days to weeks you will have a sore jaw, but after a while the only real problem is the rubber bands unattaching from the mask and smacking you.
@Harley Quinn and also, with the expander, it kinda tickles when they put it in, but when they take mouth measurements, it kinda hurts. But hey, good luck with the mask!
@@That1_RUclipsrgood luck! Don't worry, the other option is much more worse and painful. It's better this way and it eventually gets better and is way less painful. So what if it looks a bit weird, it does its job and reduces pain greatly. Don't worry, just keep calm, it won't be that bad Insh-Allah Ameen. Allahuma Barik (may God bless you)
@@HarleyQuinn-gu1knIdts. Just make sure u have a good and honest orthodontist who isn't after money and actually knows his/her job. Leave the rest to God, it'll get better eventually. Plus I've seen people who had severe underbite and were glad they got medical treatment cause it also effected their health and it also helped them. Don't worry it's not that bad, it will hurt in the beginning but it'll get better Insh-Allah Ameen and soon everything will be fine and even better. And i don't know much about dentistry but they won't drill holes inside your skull and only in some cases do they add or subtract bones.
i had the option to do this with my underbite, but they told me they werent sure it would work 100%. because my underbite doesnt damage my teeth or anything i could skip and possibly get a jaw surgury as an adult.
I had Reversed headgear for about 8-12 months when I was 9. It didn’t feel the best but I did wear it every night and around the house. If you have one or are planning on getting on, it isn’t a big deal. I only had mine for I would say 9 months and I liked wearing it! I kind miss it lol
My sister had them. Annoying... yes. I asked her a few years ago and she said it was so worth all the annoyance! She had braces and slept with headgear. She has a beautiful smile now and she no longer has speech problems, eating issues, jaw pain and added cost of surgery. You will tank yourself later! You got this kiddo!
Now that I think about it, I might have to have the same braces treatment, because I have a severe overbite which kind of led my jaw to not “develop” properly? 😭😭 Please, I hope I’m just overthinking again…
My sister had one of those devices, she had a MASSIVE overbite. Like, her orthodontist took her case to a conference kind of massive. 2 other orthodontists said the only way to fix it was to wait until she was 16 and break her jaw. She ended up never needing surgery, but several years of braces and the headgear.
When I was looking for an orthodontist I came across 3 of them telling me that I had to get that thingy otherwise my teeth will never get fixed. I was absolutely scared bcuz when I searched pictures of it I saw how it looked like. Around a month after I went to an orthodontist who told me that there's no way that it's the only way bcuz in the end he made me some rubber bands and they work perfectly fine
This setup is actually just propelled by those same rubber bands. You hook the bands around the back (like you do with the bands that stay in your mouth) but you hook the other end around a little plastic bar or hook on the headgear frame. You only have to wear this at night or around the house. I preferred this to having that bands in my mouth all day and all night (except when you eat of course). I thought this was much easier and I only had pain for a little while in the morning, rather than every few days when new bands were put in.
@@giakolou2876 but if you can get it , seek for a good surgeon. I got a minor invasive orthognatic surgery, so it’s a better healing and less painful. but expensive. I recommend if you can get one, it’s very good and it’s changing my life
So I had a severe over bite, it was so severe that they didn’t even use rubber bands. They put in “the hinges!” *dun dun dun* aka they put in a Herbst appliance. Which looks like two big hinges inside your mouth and it just moved my jaw forward
In 2003, I was left with severe TMJD in Pleasanton, California, from an orthodontist. I still have chronic pain in my tmjs where I was on heavy pain medication. I also had around 9 different appliances that splints, physical therapy, and numerous wannabe tmj dentists. I'm extremely hesitant about orthodontics with my kids😮😮.
I had that. I had to wear it every night, not at day. It really hurts. It left me a scar on my chin because it bleed. I hope I can just get invisaline I really don't wanna go through a 2nd round of braces. I got them off last summer btw
My class 2 was never treated when I was a kid. Now with 26 (a couple months ago) I wore something called "Powerscope" that pushes your jaw forward. Absolute game-changer for me. Every dentist I went to told me only surgery for fix my jaw because I'm "too old" F that, my current Dentists (at an institute) are miraculous, the before and after is crazy in just 4 months from wearing that thing 🎉
These are like what Lisa on "The Simpsons" got because Homer's job got rid of their dental plan in exchange for a Keg party. " 'So long dental plan!' 'Lissa needs braces.' 'So long dental plan!' 'Lisa needs braces.' 'So long dental plan!' 'Lisa needs braces.' " lol

@@galaxykitten6849I’m getting mine sometime soon. As scary as it sounds, having an underbite and not being able to bite into an apple just doesn’t sound like a good way to live. I’m team surgery if it’s really needed.
The scar tissue is minimal and depends on the doctor you go to. The metal can be removed with another minor and minimally invasive surgery 1 year after the initial jaw surgery. Many people do not experience any negative side effects aside from a rough recovery time. Whenever you do something like this, make sure you go to the best surgeon you can find, and go every the entire surgical process to have the highest chance of avoiding any and all nerve damage, etc.
I had jaw surgery to fix my Underbite. Best decision I’ve ever made. It changed my life and increased my confidence 100%
My son had one as well. At 16 he went through a growth spurt that made his bottom jaw just jut out big time. It didn't change his face to much but it sure made it difficult for him to eat. He said...best decision ever!! These contraptions weren't even an option for him. Have surgery or look like a cojo salmon or bulldog.
I had herb appliance, idk what it even did
I did it too! Most painful but worth it surgery. It’s been over 8 years now and one of my closest friends just did hers too.
I want it so bad but my insurance doesn't cover it... My jaws are awful and I am an adult now.
My dad had that done and my ortho gave me that option to fix my underbite. My dad said no because it was the worst experience of his life and doesn’t want me to go through it
Damn I thought my headgear at night was bad
I can’t even move my jaw back that much
I swear dentists are secret psychopaths waiting to tell your parents you need this 10,000$ torture thing
Man, she must've bit the dentists finger or sum. He/she did her *dirtyyyyy* 😂💀
Or they :D
Yep! But the other day I left a comment referring to someone as "they" and I got ppl in the replies saying "you mean SHE" like bro I didn't know. I was trying to be respectful 😭
@@basilrose7935 just don’t respond to people who try to correct you, they do it just to be annoying. unless if they say it nicely like above
I know, it just confused me when they started to go off about it lmao. Ty ^^
Damn bro afraid to misgender a dentist they've never seen, met or heard of 💀💀💀
Ok but like how are they pulling off their gear like so prettyyyy
Mewing can fix this 🗿

Cannot fix genetics. Been doing it unconsciously for my whole life and for what 💀
I wish this guy was my dentist he’s so much nicer than the majority of dentists I’ve had
Fax I haven’t been back since my root canal
@@ferretlord3990 fr there so rude they just tell you off and shame u they made me hate the dentist and get anxious whenever I needed to see them
@@RubyRedS1ippersmy dentists are the nicest people ever and sometimes I even look forward to going back
@@bIuefox wish I had ur dentist 🥲
My densist droped a mirrior down my throat when O was 10 and I never wany to go back there again
Why did my orthodontist not suggest anything like this instead of trying to pressure me to get a surgery when I am a teenager, just before I would turn 18. I already had huge outside braces for a few years, I could've handled this too!
You probably saw him too late. This only works when you’re really young, around age 8. Also it depends if you’re talking about the upper or lower jaw. The only thing facemask is really used for these days is to bring the upper jaw forward (reverse pull headgear).
@@Blackindian723 it's not very nice to assume things like that. I saw an orthodontist really young, plus I know these things only work in the peak of growing, otherwise I wouldn't have said this. Though the person in the video doesn't look that young?
However, I thought this was about bringing the lower jaw forward, since I thought the Bentist pointed at his lower jaw and he talked about the breaking surgery, which often happens with the lower jaw. So thank you for mentioning the upper jaw, I will look into that, maybe I misunderstood that in the video.
@@veerlevanmerwijk7862 Sorry, didn’t mean to offend. In my opinion, the Bentist is way oversimplifying. Keep in mind, he’s not an orthodontist and therefore never even used headgear on his patients. Headgear for the lower jaw isn’t really a thing, and has been replaced by functional appliances these days (google Forsus appliance or Herbst) which can help bring the lower jaw forward and don’t require as much compliance as headgear. Also in my opinion it looks like this patient is too old for headgear and almost done with treatment. If I had to guess she had the headgear laying around from when she used it when she was younger and just wanted to make a video.
@@Blackindian723 thank you for your apology, sometimes things come off less nice in text than they are meant to, sorry for misunderstanding.
I get what you are saying, I also think he is simplifying to keep it understandable for the audience and to keep it short for the video. But I agree that he's missing some points here. I will Google those suggestions, you got me curious, thank you!
@@Blackindian723the bentist is an orthodontist...
Isn't that a Mewing Machine 😅
Nah that a Saw reverse bear trap 💀
SHE REALLY SAID 🤐
I’m the girl who had to have the surgery “later in life,” cause they slighted me on the headgear as a young one. It’s basically the headgear PLUS surgery when you have your face broken + rearranged 🤗
Did it hurt much ? How about now ? Do u have any side effects or pain from it now?
REARRANGED 😭
how much was it? I'm considering it
Honestly, eating is better (when I’m not in pain in the areas where my screws are placed) & my speech improved as well. BUT I have a considerable amount of pain 10yrs later.. It was a medically necessary procedure, but it didn’t come without long-term consequences. I have mixed reviews…
@@TogalikesPomegranates LMAO fr.. It’s brutal 😩
bro that looks like something from the saw movies 💀💀💀
He said "help her out in the long run"
Captions-help Brad in the long run 😂
My moms cousin never got this done as a kid and ended up needing the surgery with both jaws broken. Her face was so swollen and puffy she had trouble keeping her eyes open. Eventually just the bottom of her face was puffy and it took over a month for swelling to go down any more but she desperately needed the surgery and is super happy now
Bro still got that brace on his tooth.
I had a similar headgear but with only one pole in the middle. I thought it would make me cross-eyed😂😂😂 I mean, I'm happy I don't have an overbite now lol
So it is helpful right?😔
I got mine tdy and im scared and confused abt it not been helpful😔
Orthodentical Mewing 💀
Thank god my mom got my jaw fixed when I was still growing. It completely changed my face and I get a lot of compliments now on my jawline, when it used to be underdeveloped!
Never even knew this existed, my orthodontist said he wanted to do surgery when I'm 18 instead of even recommending this
bro got that willy wonka braces
Its giving little Willy Wonka 💀
I remember the days of having to wear the headgear 😂 it truly builds character
Bro is the next Terminator😂😂
Now I'm just totally terrified I'm crossed by bro I'm so scared
Reminds me of that one girl from Finding Nemo 💀😭
I have a 3mm underbite. I’ve had it all my life. I never asked my mom if the dentist wanted to fix it. I was a very difficult child though! I remember needing gas at the dentist to keep calm and still enough for them to do ANYTHING. Now as an adult….psh I can eat and that’s all that matters to me! Surgery that requires out to two years of recovery just to make my smile look normalized? Nope. No thanks. I’ll keep my weird smile!
🥹 i aspire to have your confidence- i have an 7-8 mm underbite. My parents are encouraging me to have a major surgery and i am still unsure. Going for a consultation next month, hopefully it goes well. If not- i will live w/ my underbite. Ain’t hurting no one or me
@@fullofkkI’m with you guys! I’ve got a severe underbite. I’m getting mine done. I’m scared, of course. But it’s really not for vanity reasons. I can’t speak properly, eat properly, or breathe properly because of it. Get a good surgeon. That’s the important part.
I literally had this for like, a year. ITS PURE TORTURE!!!!! The biggest problem is the fact that I had to wear this mainly in your sleep, and the rubber bands kept unattaching from the mask thing, and smack me in the face at 2 am. I was in fourth grade as well, before I learned how to ignore pain.
I'm having it at 4 months I'm so scared wAtching all these videos bro
@Harley Quinn actually, with my experience, they just put an expander with hooks in your mouth, and you attach the rubber bands to the hooks on the expander then the hooks on the mask, and that’s it. Fair warning to those who are getting this device, but don’t have it yet, first few days to weeks you will have a sore jaw, but after a while the only real problem is the rubber bands unattaching from the mask and smacking you.
@Harley Quinn and also, with the expander, it kinda tickles when they put it in, but when they take mouth measurements, it kinda hurts. But hey, good luck with the mask!
@@That1_RUclipsrgood luck! Don't worry, the other option is much more worse and painful. It's better this way and it eventually gets better and is way less painful. So what if it looks a bit weird, it does its job and reduces pain greatly. Don't worry, just keep calm, it won't be that bad Insh-Allah Ameen. Allahuma Barik (may God bless you)
@@HarleyQuinn-gu1knIdts. Just make sure u have a good and honest orthodontist who isn't after money and actually knows his/her job. Leave the rest to God, it'll get better eventually. Plus I've seen people who had severe underbite and were glad they got medical treatment cause it also effected their health and it also helped them. Don't worry it's not that bad, it will hurt in the beginning but it'll get better Insh-Allah Ameen and soon everything will be fine and even better. And i don't know much about dentistry but they won't drill holes inside your skull and only in some cases do they add or subtract bones.
i had the option to do this with my underbite, but they told me they werent sure it would work 100%. because my underbite doesnt damage my teeth or anything i could skip and possibly get a jaw surgury as an adult.
Bro my brother just has a clear brace that pulls his jaw forward😭
I had Reversed headgear for about 8-12 months when I was 9. It didn’t feel the best but I did wear it every night and around the house. If you have one or are planning on getting on, it isn’t a big deal. I only had mine for I would say 9 months and I liked wearing it! I kind miss it lol
Okay she honestly doesn't look that bad with it
Herbst appliance is hell on earth
Like Toby from Trollhunters💀
PLEASE DESIGN SOME KIND OF DENTAL FLOSS FOR PERMANENT RETAINERS! PLEASEEE
Getting more and more anxious about getting braces while watching these videos yet I still watch them 💀
Fr bro e
My sister had them. Annoying... yes. I asked her a few years ago and she said it was so worth all the annoyance! She had braces and slept with headgear. She has a beautiful smile now and she no longer has speech problems, eating issues, jaw pain and added cost of surgery.
You will tank yourself later! You got this kiddo!
The dentist really made sure she didn’t lose her mewing streak
New fear unlocked:having these
Now that I think about it, I might have to have the same braces treatment, because I have a severe overbite which kind of led my jaw to not “develop” properly? 😭😭 Please, I hope I’m just overthinking again…
My sister had one of those devices, she had a MASSIVE overbite. Like, her orthodontist took her case to a conference kind of massive. 2 other orthodontists said the only way to fix it was to wait until she was 16 and break her jaw. She ended up never needing surgery, but several years of braces and the headgear.
is the headgear an all day thing, or just at night?
@@Itzli777 In her case, she had to wear it 23 hours a day for a while, then 16, then 12, then 8.
“I got it this way” bro really regrets that
The name Reverse pull headgear makes me think of the reverse bear trap lol
Looks like Brad got the Chad headgear 😂
It's giving... Willy Wonka
the way he said "PWAHH"
I think he said help her out in the long run but helping out Brad in the long run also makes sense
i’d be grateful ong, cuz it’ll help my teeth 🙏😍
I really can’t decide if I would have preferred this to the jaw surgery I have to get.
I HAVE THE SAME THING CALLD A CROSS BITE
Me too
I got mine tody and im scared of it
Im also confused it it will help or not😢
A kid in my school has this thing
When I was looking for an orthodontist I came across 3 of them telling me that I had to get that thingy otherwise my teeth will never get fixed. I was absolutely scared bcuz when I searched pictures of it I saw how it looked like.
Around a month after I went to an orthodontist who told me that there's no way that it's the only way bcuz in the end he made me some rubber bands and they work perfectly fine
This setup is actually just propelled by those same rubber bands. You hook the bands around the back (like you do with the bands that stay in your mouth) but you hook the other end around a little plastic bar or hook on the headgear frame. You only have to wear this at night or around the house. I preferred this to having that bands in my mouth all day and all night (except when you eat of course). I thought this was much easier and I only had pain for a little while in the morning, rather than every few days when new bands were put in.
Orthognatic surgery was my option , it wasn’t so bad ! In two months I was eating normally and opening my mouth normally too
Any side effects? Do u still have any pain ?
@@giakolou2876 just sensibility into my lower lip and when I’m too stressed some pain in face, but it gets better after calming down
@@giakolou2876 but if you can get it , seek for a good surgeon. I got a minor invasive orthognatic surgery, so it’s a better healing and less painful. but expensive.
I recommend if you can get one, it’s very good and it’s changing my life
I’m smiling more , laughing more and my confidence is better
they told me i could either have my JAW BROKEN in surgery or have 2 teeth pulled out for crowding
My friend had a headgear, she said it was so uncomfy, but worth it!
new fear unlocked
So I had a severe over bite, it was so severe that they didn’t even use rubber bands. They put in “the hinges!” *dun dun dun* aka they put in a Herbst appliance. Which looks like two big hinges inside your mouth and it just moved my jaw forward
In 2003, I was left with severe TMJD in Pleasanton, California, from an orthodontist. I still have chronic pain in my tmjs where I was on heavy pain medication. I also had around 9 different appliances that splints, physical therapy, and numerous wannabe tmj dentists. I'm extremely hesitant about orthodontics with my kids😮😮.
Goofy ahh Reverse Bear Trap💀
I had that. I had to wear it every night, not at day. It really hurts. It left me a scar on my chin because it bleed. I hope I can just get invisaline I really don't wanna go through a 2nd round of braces. I got them off last summer btw
My class 2 was never treated when I was a kid.
Now with 26 (a couple months ago) I wore something called "Powerscope" that pushes your jaw forward. Absolute game-changer for me. Every dentist I went to told me only surgery for fix my jaw because I'm "too old"
F that, my current Dentists (at an institute) are miraculous, the before and after is crazy in just 4 months from wearing that thing 🎉
My guy took mew streak to another level
Dang, That could straight up help my mewing streak💀
*Turns into Gyomei*
“I shall pray for this poor soul..”
this is what andrew tate needs
What-?
hes looking fine now tho tbh
How will this ancient torture device help someone’s jaw 😂
These are like what Lisa on "The Simpsons" got because Homer's job got rid of their dental plan in exchange for a Keg party. " 'So long dental plan!' 'Lissa needs braces.' 'So long dental plan!' 'Lisa needs braces.' 'So long dental plan!' 'Lisa needs braces.' " lol
My uncle has that he gots a blue one !!!!!!
Those aren’t braces that’s the reverse bear trap
bro got that willy wonka kid experience
I love you vids so much i think so far you have a new sub and they did her dirty on this one
This is how jigsaw got the idea lol
