Let’s face it orthodontists are scam artists they pay dentists money for every patient that they refer to them and they drive around in $160,000 BMW’S. if any parents out there want my advice let your kids choose whether they want braces or not. If they aren’t willing for the lifetime of commitment then let them decide if they want to get them later in life or not and they have crooked teeth for life. It’s their body their decision
All those retainers have pros and cons. Plastic retainers will wear out and you'll need to replace them. The Hawley retainer will last so much longer and who cares if you have to wear them daily for a couple of months. The permanent retainers will block how you floss the same way the braces did. I want everything OUT of my mouth when I floss and brush.
I got a question and please i need an answer do you choose which retainers to wear once the braces are removed or your dentist should choose witch retainers to wear i need an answer please?
I had braces in 2002. I’m still wearing my retainers at night. I’ve had new ones made at my dentists. Not every night, but minimum a week a of night a month.
Oh great, so my orthodontist told me to only wear the retainers full time for the first week after I had my braces removed. Then 10 hours a day. Did I not wear mine enough??? (I have a Hawley retainer, a fixed retainer on my upper front teeth and Invisalign plastic retainers.)
I didn't have a gap before my braces, and they took my braces off early, I told them more than once to visit. But it seperated after I got them off and I had to wait two weeks until I got my retainers and I even got them whitened on the same day, I received them. I don't like having a gap and I'm trying to find every way possible to fix it.
My parents got conned into buying braces despite 17 yr old me having a weak lower jaw and tongue thrusting. Three and a half yrs of pain and four heathy teeth extractions later, my buck teeth remained unchanged. What I needed was jaw correction surgery first. Now I’m sixty and the surgery remains financially unobtainable.
I’m 16 and I’m having the same problem! I have a overjet and weak lower jaw but my parents are convinced all I need is braces..But I’m confident I need jaw surgery to fix my issue. Problem is we don’t have 30k, soo I guess I’m just fucked🤷♀️
@@GhostMediaUploads I sympathize. But don’t forget in the two or so weeks post surgery, our diet would be strictly milkshakes and soup due to our jaws wired shut. I remain depressed.
I'm from the UK and I was supposed to get braces when I was a lot younger but it never happened. As a result, my overbite is more of a deep one. I have a normal lower jaw, but a small chin. I look deformed. 😔 There's nothing I can do because it's so expensive.
Same here, but I simply started pushing my jaw forward & trying to keep it there. First it was difficult because the jaw is used to be at back & at overbite position. Felt like I was stretching my jaw muscles. After a quite some time, I could hold my chin way forward than I ever could. Now I can "Fake" that I have a normal bite, but ofcourse when holding my jaw front at "normal" position and I smile, my lower front teeth are now a bit infront of my upper front teeth. 🤫 For me this is still better than my deep overbite. 🥴🤷♂️😁
This guy, in the nicest way possible explained how I will have to wear retainers for the rest of my life, still ruined my day. PS: I've been wearing braces for 11 months now and watching these type of videos really make me worried and upset.
@@ankushthakurrrr tbh idk. I have watched so many videos about it. All of them said forever. But here I have met with some people with braces they're saying 1-2 years. I'm so damn confuse about it. What's your doctor told you
but what does it mean if i'm experiencing all the doctor said but something felt like circle in my jaw one is small and another one is smaller than that one
I’ve got a question should I wear my retainer ALL DAY LONG 24 hours or like 12 hours because I once wore my retainers over night and then I didn’t wear it 1 day in the morning and when I put it back at night they felt very tight and it felt like my teeth shifted a little bit I’ve been wearing my retainers full time for 6 months until yesterday someone help me I don’t know what to do
God just when I thought I'd never have to deal with this braces crap ever again I have to wear retainers for the rest of my life? Then what was the point If just a waste of time and money if gonna wear some plastic every night until death for a over bite the wasn't even a issue for me .....I really really really hate the dentist now
That's fucked up, I just paid 5260 for braces and they didn't mention anything about retainers afterwards lol at least I'll have braces on for 18 months only . But retainers for life wtf ?? I didn't have any crooked teeth , happened from a fight. so will it shift back if I dont wear retainers often ? It was only 1 tooth , my front one .
I had braces from the age of 12 - 16 years old. I was wearing my clear retainer diligently until I hit my 20s. Then I stopped wearing it. I'm now 34 and noticed my teeth started shifting again. Luckily I still kept my clear retainer and it's in good shape. I brushed them and put them in, and oh boy are they tight. Lol. But at least they still fit over my teeth.
I have found this TMJ treatment in my frustration to relieve myself from facial pain. I`ve used this TMJ treatment for slightly over 12 days now and also the results are extraordinary. I sleep at night well and the facial/jaw discomfort and headaches have vanished! I discovered this guide on Google. Name of it is Cora Tmjocυn
Yes i did that I’ve had it since 2018 and never chewed gum ever after although my jaw got weaker but i am planing on chewing alot of gum after i get them off in a few months
