Congratulations on getting your braces, Jacob. I'm going to go over how to take care of your braces.
Now that you have your braces on you have to learn how to eat your food a little differently. As far as anything that's hard: raw fruits, vegetables, pizza, french bread; anything that's hard or mildly hard you want to get into the habit of cutting it up or tearing it up and placing it into the back. You're not going to want to use your front teeth to bite down into anything. The pressure from that will cause your brackets to fall off. Also, as far as candy, you can't have anything chewy or sticky: bubble gum, Now or Laters, Laffy Taffy, you can't have any of that because that will also cause breakage.
I'm going to go over how to brush your teeth. It's very important with braces that when you brush your teeth, you get under and over your brackets. You want to make sure that you remove all the film away from your teeth, otherwise if that film sits on your teeth, it will turn into plaque, get hard, and start to form cavities on your teeth.
When you floss your teeth, this is called Superfloss, a unique floss. It comes in a little bag like this, we're going to give you a little sample. What's unique about this floss is that you have a little plastic part, and a spongy part, all in one strand. You're going to take the plastic part and thread it through just like this. You're going to use the spongy part to clean around the brackets and then you have the actual floss to floss around into your gum line. It's very important that you floss every day.
And then you also have some fluoride rinse. You don't have to use this particular brand, but anything with fluoride in it, I want you to swish around with it before you go to bed at night for 30 seconds. So it should be the very last thing you should do after you brush your teeth. Swish around with it for 30 seconds, after that you can't have anything to eat or drink for 30 minutes there afterwards.
You'll notice sometimes with your braces, you might have a wire that's poking you or a bracket that's bothering you. What you're going to do with the wax, you'll take a little piece of wax, roll it up into a little ball, you'll place it over the bracket or the wire, kind of creates like a little band-aid on the inside of your mouth so you can't feel anything. Less is best with the wax. Also you have some Orabase. You will notice, sometimes you will get little sores on the inside of your mouth. This is kind of like a little numbing cream. If that were to happen you just take a little piece of this, rub it on the inside of your cheek and it numbs it and makes it feel better.
Also, you're going to get a little travel toothbrush. You'll notice when you're out with family or in school, you'll notice that food will get stuck between the wire and the bracket. Take this like so, and when you brush, just make sure you go over and under just like so, to get all the food out. Also you'll notice when you eat your food, that the food will get stuck between the wire and the bracket. This is called a proximal brush. You'll take this brush just like so, and just thread it through the wire and the bracket. Just be careful not to yank or pull, you don't want to break the bracket.
Also, we're going to go over how to wear your rubber bands. I'm going to have you hold that mirror for me. It's very important that you wear your rubber bands 24 hours a day. So hypothetically, if you go to bed a 9 o'clock at night, I'd like for you to take that rubber band off and switch it to another one, every night. You're going to place it on this hook here, one hook on top, to the very last hook on the bottom. Just like so. Same goes for the other side. Very first hook on the top to the very last hook on the bottom. Smile for me and look in the mirror. And that's exactly how you're going to be wearing your rubber bands. It's very important that you wear these 24 hours a day. When you come in for your appointments we can actually tell if you've been wearing them. It's going to help fix your jaw relationship, so you've got to make sure you're being compliant with us, ok?
If you notice you have anything broken, let mom or dad know so we can get you in here and get it fixed; it can actually put you back in treatment some, so be very mindful if you have anything broken.

NinjaPex and using words like compliant

@@xtaylorxboyx I understood what that meant as a child. I figure any child that enjoys to read or pays attention in school will understand a lot of words some might deem "complex".
my dentist didn't give me anything. all I got was the wax. I didn't even know how I was supposed to brush my teeth with them on. thank God for this video
Pastel Panda i got my upper row teeth braced 2 days ago, all they gave me was the floss and the wax, and my teeth are killing me.
Pastel Panda I didn't even get a wax lol and I only got some brushing instructions XD

That was a good one!!! Jaja
Congratulations they said. You're on your way to getting a straighter smile they said. You can still eat almost anything they said. It shouldn't be too bad they said.

My orthodontist is the worst they told me nothing on how to floss, brush etc like not even one thing. Also I had to pay for everything and only got my braces for free
mine costed $6,100, $6500 w/o discount
DHDH H same . All they said to me was “better keep your teeth clean or we will remove your braces. “
ughdaisy oof mine cost around 3,000
My whole thing was free lol
The beauty of free healthcare
@@haywood3874 Where do you live? Let me guess... Canada?
She looks like Rihanna hehehe
yeah😂😃😄
If she says "ok?" one more time, I'm ripping my hair out. Also..the kid is 9 years old. She talking to him like he grown!
Yh. I doubt the kid understood half of what she said
I got braces yesterday and it hurt me a lot
I got them today
im getting them on tuesday
Haha, wait til you get them tightened and then get a power chain and rubber bands it's gonna hurt so bad, good luck.
I'm getting mine off next year
Jigsaw Jeff fan Number 1 omg so true
When the ortho says no gum hard food etc. I still eat it lol 😂
Ain't nobody got time to floss
Harambe's Hoe true I dont floss
I do
They didn't give me the rinse thing,floss,cream, the travel brush and the rubber bands but I think I don't need the rubber bands
Same, I had to pay for it but I think I'm gonna buy them in the next appointment.
I thought I had to change the rubber bands 3 times a day (after eating) but in the video she explain that it's once! I've been wasting rubber bands!
I thought the same. I do not think that my dentist said anything about it anyway. The only thing I can remember was the headaches and how she told me you need to wear this as much as you can...
wtffff my ortho sucks ass they didnt even give me a proximus brush/proxy brush whatever it is
My doctor just said "Take care and see u next month"🙄
Lol same
😂😂.
The beauty of the internet
"put your rubber bands 24 hours a day" yeah right 😂😂😂
Right! I’m not going to eat with them in :(
This is the best maintenance video for braces ! Gets straight to the point and clear execution
Anyone else notice they typed 'down down' at 0.34
My orthodontist didn't give me anything 🙃
Same now I feel kinda jealous🙂😂😂
Same
Damn i didnt get anything such as brush, wax or anything free! WTF. I'll just with the scratches in my mouth. Fucj
you could just use some food wax... oh wait, your talking about free
I got the wax, 2 tooth brushes, and flossing string😂 but I didn't get the rest😒
I got the floss, 2 tooth brushes, the proxy brush, wax, a round little mirror, super floss, and the threading one all in a cute little pouch and on the side a sting backpack and a lanyard for keys..
PrettyEyez2014 do you go to a dentist in a hospital in Florida?
How am I suppose to replace my rubber bands everyday myself?!
I'm getting my bottom braces this Thursday! I've had my top ones for almost 2 weeks :) they were a pain to
Bro you go so fast, the poor kid doesn’t get it. He still traumatized after he got his mouth wired.
Lol this is a lot for a child to remember.
It looks so easy but god damn its hard when I try it
This video could mislead people because it talks about one way you would wear rubber bands. Listen to your ortho, and don’t do the same thing as this video unless your ortho says to!!
When you don't wear your rubber bands for 24 hours 😂😎
I eat literally everything, so far I haven’t ever gotten my brackets to fall off
Interesting
I'm watching this video because I wanna do more research about braces and might possibly get some after this corona thing is over
For each time she says ok you have to floss tthat many days
i love the comments lol
This video saved my life ... I didn't know how to use the wax until now , my mouth feels so much better reliving the pain of the soreness ugh
They said no fizzy like coke or anything like that and I was like OH HELL NAH!
Take a shot when she says ok
67 cups to go 😞😞
My ortho never told me to floss with that stuff 😂
how am I supposed to fucking eat when I can’t even chew anything with my braces.
Also, WHAT am I supposed to fucking eat when literally everything I eat is hard and crunchy (Salad, tacos, bagels, crackers, every vegetable and fruit, cereal--etc).
@@I_Think_You_Should_Leave okay so update. I can eat a few things now
Just that I’m worried about my bite turbos falling off
The only thing my orthodontist told me was how to brush, floss, and use the wax.
what if it hurts too much to brush? I'm on the first day and I started tearing up because it hurt so bad to brush like I normally do.
The pain should be totally gone in about a week so then you'll be able to brush your teeth normally without them hurting
Very informative and it even managed to keep my attention which is a great achievement since I have the attention span of a goldfish. Lol
Fizzy drinks are an addiction for me, like I really struggle if I don't have a can for about 6 hours. When I first got my braces I lasted 4 weeks without any fizzy drinks. And for a good while, I only had a can of Coke or 7UP a week. And as the months went by I became really slack and drank fizzy drinks every day WITHOUT a straw. I know right? D: I always brush my teeth daily cuz I'm a very hygienic person but what I wanna know is if I'll have those little squares on my teeth? (Pretty sure I most likely will do) And can an orthodontist refuse to give you a retainer once they take your braces off? Some people have said yes and some people have said no. I tried Googling it and honestly got no answer. Some help, please.
I’m going to lose weight when I get braces because I won’t be able to eat anything 😀👍🏼
Ahhh! Her voice. No offense
I can not believe that I only have two brackets but my mouth feels HORRIBLE
♥️PEOPLE I NEED HELP♥️
I’m posting this on a lot of braces videos because I need opinions
Which colour should I get my bands to be?
I’m getting braces tomorrow
Leaning more toward a purple, pink, or blue colour but I just want to hear what others think :)
I feel like shit I just broke them on the first day lol
Same
My brackets keep on falling when the ortho puts some pressure on them
I just hate braces😭
@@spidey7370 Exactly what keeps happening to me
The kid is like WTF I dint catch most of it lol
Thank you so much @DrSilverSmiles I am just a kid and didn’t know about braces everything but now I know ☺️
The wax doesn’t work it’s like gum it can get stuck or it won’t stay on
3:29 Kid - 🙄😬
Many dentists just didn't care
I was a wuss i had to go to the hospital cause the pain was unbearable,no hate pls it's un needed
Rubee_thedutchiewicker TFF take ibuprofen
25 and wearing braces, this "take care of your braces" speech took my Orthodentist 30 minutes and I still didn't understand shit. How is this kid who just got a fucking metal installed in his mouth supposed to sit there and absorb all that info? 😂
UHHH miss can u write all down I didn't catch it...
This kid isn't going to remember all this. She's going way to fast to be explaining something new and foreign to him. She didn't even demonstrate how to floss and sweep under the gum line, how to brush top and bottom or flossing around the brackets. Like show him...not just say like so after you pick it up and put it down.
can somebody help me here. i got this yellow stain or something in between my teeth. and im so apprehensive it might turn into cavities. i wear braces but honestly i do not floss daily, may be every after 2 to 3 days.
thats my problem too....
ITS BEEN AN HOUR AND IT HURTS
okay? okay! okay? okay!
I literally just ate a hot dog and bit in with my front teeth
You must be built different
@@the_cheese_man7473 I guess I am cause I eat everything I’m not supposed to
"Smile please" his smile looked like he didnt want to he there 😂
Eating chewy candy with braces rn😂
OKAY OKAY WE GET IT OKAY
In the end, all this information made him give up on his braces journey.
Now I know her favorite word... okay
I always wanted to have braces but we cannot afford it so until now i cannot smile and not confident . My teeth is so worse
Lindsy Sotto u can get it for free in some hospital
I am so confused rn
great video!
My god !.little boy is in Shock!! Speak more slow for him.
I just got my braces almost a week ago and truly am sad, I got spacers and can't eat anything... sucks being a human garbage disposal
Hope all dentist had a demo on proper brushing after clients got their braces.
Flossing is hard with braces, it hurts to do so. I feel like the bracket is gonna pop off when I do that.
I didn't get any Wax or Orabase for my mouth...? we I had to deal with all the scratches my braces did inside my mouth and that intense pain when I wake up in the mornings after I change my color. I had to deal with all of that naturally! I'm so mad nobody told me this existed..
*oKaY*
This was very helpful!
👀
I know this video is old and all, but my orthodontist didn't tell me shit. The only thing they told me about was the food -.-
I eat chips, pizza well I don’t eat the crust, Hersey’s, candy, fries lol and I never broke a bracket
How often should you replace a proximal brush? Is it a one-a-day thing or more like a normal toothbrush to replace every few months?
You can definitely get a lot of uses from one proximal brush. But it's not like a toothbrush because it has more bristles that will trap in bacteria faster than a toothbrush will. So you have to change it every 2-4 weeks, or whenever the bristles get frayed or deformed. :)
Thanks for the information. I need to get braces on sometime soon and I really don't want to risk screwing up my teeth at all. Which explains why I was on this video in the first place.
The package I have says the brushes are good for a week.
Poor kid. He looks like he's overwhelmed with all that she's saying and has absolutely no idea/interest on what she's saying hahaha
I have braces and was eating starbursts while watching, also I've had them for a year now why am I watching this?
i got everyting in that little bag for free and does getting you colors and wire hurt because i get my wire and colors changed tommorow
The second she says another okay I cringe and regret living all over again
I am getting braces one day but I don’t know win but that really helped me and kind of
I didn’t even get like..half of these things. And wth is an on the go tooth brush?
You have to change the rubber bands every day?
Jozeph alvarez yes
Jozeph alvarez three to four times a day
i do not floss everyday too much work did you guys here how many times she said ok 22 times
Can we eat noodle???👁-👁
Understand... Ok
Is it okay that my ortho didnt put the little color bands on 3 brackets??
