Braces Explained: Bite Turbos
In this video, I will be answer the question of "what are bite turbos? And what are they for?"
Bite turbos primary purpose is to prevent your upper and lower teeth from fully coming together. This is important because in some cases, to put braces on in the ideal position, your upper teeth overlap your lower teeth too much and would break the braces off your teeth. Therefore, your orthodontist may put bite turbos on your front teeth or back teeth to prevent them from fully coming together. This is only temporary and once your teeth have aligned enough, your orthodontist can remove the bite turbos!
You may feel slightly more discomfort on the teeth with the bite turbos and the teeth that these bite turbos are contact against. This is because they are the only teeth that are coming in contact with one another. This pain is temporary and will go away but it is something to be aware of! If you notice that your bite turbos have fallen off, please make sure you let your orthodontist know because you do not want to start biting on your lower braces and break the brackets!

Today I got power chain and he didn’t tell me and before the appointment my first molar bracket broke so he put that thing over that molar so the upper tooth won’t touch that tooth so the bracket still stays I thought it was filling cuz it’s white like when u have a cavity the dentist fills them like that feeling . And now I can’t close my teeth and can’t chew anything at all so how am I supposed to eat?? I’m gonna have to go there tomorrow to thinner that filling

For everyone who is getting these/recently got these, it’s really not as bad as you think! All the other comments are saying how terrible they are, but once you have them for about a week (or even less) they just become a part of ur mouth and you can’t tell they’re there. I know your teeth won’t be able to touch, but the turbo bites can act as teeth and chew for you. Just remember, as bad as Turbo bites might seem at the moment, they’ll get better and they help speed up your teeth situation, the result will be worth it! I hope I helped 👍👍

@tato2493528 Год назад

@misterwinkybluff5930 Год назад

Yeah, no they are indeed terrible. Mine are quite large-to the point where I can almost fit my tongue through my teeth because the gap is so large. I can barely eat. I can’t bite into things with my front teeth, I can’t grind food with my back teeth (only between the bite pads) and I can’t “feel” the food because the bite pads have no nerves like my teeth do. It’s as if there’s a wooden plank stuck between your top and bottom teeth every time you try to eat LOL

Secondly, I'll share my story with the bite turbos I have... which are not exactly bite turbos, but similar. They feel quite big and pointy on the back of my front teeth and they challenged me at the beginning because they affected my speech in the first days and they are also stopping my molars from touching so I cannot properly chew much. At the beginning this was very difficult, especially due to the unexpected nature of this. Still, I was surprised how quickly I got used to them once I understood what I have to do to adapt, like the kind of foods I can eat. I was feeling frustrated because I wanted to still enjoy a variety of foods and I fell quite self-conscious about the way I was speaking, but I learned to focus on what I still find enjoyable and guess what... cake is super easy to eat even with those and they are a great excuse to indulge :))). Wish you all an easy braces experience and whenever you feel down about the discomfort, just take a look in the mirror and realize that even as you stay and do nothing, your teeth are moving into the right position and it totally pays off :D:D:D!

I just watched all of your most popular videos, very informational, thank you! I'm 26 and I got braces April 12th, 2022. I didn't understand the purpose of the bite turbos and so I had my orthodontist shave them down almost all the way. Just today I noticed that one of my front tooths is slightly chipping from making contact with the bracket below it. Very minimal chipping that's why I did not notice. I plan to make an appointment to get the bite turbos put back in but after the braces procedure is there a way for my orthodontist to "file" my tooth down just a tiny bit?

I’m 20 months into my braces and I got turbos to help fix my cross bite and basically I’ve already been eating sandwiches and chips.

I got one on a lower tooth because I used to have an expander on my upper jaw and got braces after removing the expander but since a bracket broke off and weeks passed because me and my orthodontist left the country I had to fix the tooth that went back to it's old position and today after a month I am getting it off, I am actually watching videos about it because I am scared of orthodontist, dentists in general but want to fix my teeth knowing every step of the process .

@jayroger7612 5 лет назад

I just got bite turbos on my back teeth this morning- its because we're trying to bring a top tooth forward, but theres a bottom tooth blocking it. The "blue glue" they called it, makes space so that top tooth can move without being locked in by the bottom

@ColiePoo 6 лет назад

Love your videos! Been subscribed since the hundreds :) So what is a good solution for someone that has gaps between every tooth? My husband is terrified of dentists and I am trying to encourage him to visit one for a consultation. He is afraid that if they bring all of his teeth together he will have major gapping towards the back. Is there a solution for this?

@DrGregAsatrian 6 лет назад

Thank you so much for the kind words & support of my channel! - I really really appreciate it =] Your husband has nothing to fear. A consultation is generally just with a mirror so nothing scary there! Regarding space closure, most people will never notice any "gap" towards the back. Generally we bring the front teeth backwards but it is all case-dependent so it's kinda tough to answer without an exam! Have him go in and get a consult - he's got nothing to lose!

@ColiePoo 6 лет назад

Dr. Greg I e had bite turbos going on 3 months (same amount of time I’ve had braces) after about a month, right before my first adjustment, I started “clenching” or “grinding” my teeth. My front bottom teeth hit the back of my top teeth when I’m talking or chewing!! I have a constant small headache and jaw pain... plus I’ve noticed my bottom teeth have “arched” up in a sense... they used to straight across at the bottom now there’s a “hump” or arch in the front... is this from the clenching?

I got turbos when I first got my braces on and they were on my back teeth. Now they just put them on my front teeth and I’m in so much pain, haven’t eaten all day, and can’t talk right so I’m terrified to go to school tomorrow.

I wish I would have seen this video and the other videos sooner. My bite turbos (after I sheared off 2 spacers, they were applied) were annoying chewing but not painful. Lots of tenderness. Not every person has the same orthodontic treatment. Most people I talked to did not have bite turbos, spacers or bands. We don’t know what questions specifically to ask. Great job educating us, Greg as an orthodontist. Thank you very much! 😁

Of course!! I'm glad you enjoy them =]

@jom1850 3 года назад

Thank you so much doctor, i’ve been serving the internet to know what those bloody blue stuff called, i have them for about 2 months now and i hate them so bad, isn’t there any other way because I grind my teeth a lot while sleeping and it’s really annoying

@joselynarriaga8805 3 года назад

I just got them yesterday and I want to cry 😫😭They hurt like a b**ch and feel so uncomfortable

@tusharajoshi1 6 лет назад

Awesome video Dr. Grey. I have bite turbos for two reasons, one to bring the maxillary right second molar forward a little and secondly to bring the maxillary right canine forward which is way very backward, which looks very bad. I just got that backward canine tooth bonded to the bracket and tied to the archwire with a long metallic ligature, which is there to pull it forward. Initially I felt like the ligature is really working good because of the pressure, but that pressure just faded away after a few days and now I don't feel any pressure of being pulled, so it feels like the tooth movement has stopped & it is going to take many days to come forward...huhh. Sorry for the long narration. I am sure I don't feel any pressure because I got used to it. I would like to know how these bite turbos are removed at the end? Also would like to know the types of archwires, viz. Ti-Ni, SS, Beta chromium, etc. and their respective mechanism. As the Ti-Ni and Beta chromium wires are heat activated, their mechanism can be understood, but how does the SS wire work? I am really curious to know that. Thank you so much for your great videos. You don't know how excited I am always to see your videos, as they really get me acquainted with this magical orthodontic treatment.

@DrGregAsatrian 6 лет назад

Wow first of all thank you so much for the kind words! I hope to do more videos to help you get more acquainted with this treatment! (including one discussing the different types of wires). The bite turbos are removed with a handpiece and a drill, being careful to avoid the tooth structure. You don't need to be anesthetized and won't feel it, so don't worry! =]

@meditation4life728 5 лет назад

Sir pls make a video on positive and negative torque n how we can easily engage the wire in the slot..regards n love from fellow orthodontist from india

@DrGregAsatrian 5 лет назад

That's quite specific and this channel as of now is mostly for patient education. I may eventually transition into orthodontic education as well though!

@bridgetwebber5873 5 лет назад

Can you do a video on how they put the braces on? Because I’m getting braces next week, and I was wondering how they do everything.

@damiodekanmi3262 5 лет назад

Can you do a video on crossbite?

@MicahRenea 3 года назад

@cassey7673 6 лет назад

So that's what they're called. I just called it a cement-like. Lol. I had mine for 2 months because of bad underbite. Thanks for the great video dr!

@catscruggs8687 6 лет назад

Travel with Cas did it hurt getting them off

@cassey7673 6 лет назад

Cathryn Scruggs no, not at all. But it taste like crap when you have a very curious tongue during getting them lol

@DrGregAsatrian 6 лет назад

lolll "curious tongue" - Glad I was able to help!! Thanks for taking the time and helping answer Cathryns question too! =]

@stephanieying4317 6 лет назад

Stephanie Ying lol the same happened to me

@DrGregAsatrian 6 лет назад

@deviansor3884 4 года назад

its almost 2020. There are too many alternative ways to avoid suffering patient ya'll should develop something new. Thats really hurt when you eating then accidentally bite

@charleea7846 3 года назад

lmao chill. they start to get worn down, which will allow you to chew normally again.

@annach7914 2 года назад

Oh yeah, like what?

@bophapng 4 года назад

I grind my teeth/bite really hard in my sleep and my bite turbos and the bracket fall off. This isn't the first time though. My ortho keeps replacing them but the same thing keeps happening. Is there anything else I could do?

@JessieBanana 5 лет назад

I had to get them cause I have a cross bite. They don't necessarily hurt, it would be hard to know the difference anyway, but they make it where I can't really use my back teeth to chew. I've just learned to eat things that can be swallowed. Mine are tooth colored.

@MarcelloZucchi91 Год назад

I have a deep bite and got Incognito lingual braces, so bite turbos were non-negotiable for me. However, since they are part of the custom brackets (check out how incognito works) they are manufactured based on your actual teeth shape and they are not uncomfortable at all. They've actually improved my occlusion and I can feel my TMJ is less engaged than before. Give it time and you will get used to them.

@kennylc2193 5 лет назад

I think my orthodontist used the term “historically bad” in describing my deep bite.

@reimonpangan8637 4 года назад

Having jaw fatigue after getting these. How to relieve? My jaw is so fatigued, I'm gritting them.

@nameisnotwhatyouthink3342 6 лет назад

Could you make a video on what your training in school was like or even what you had to do to get into dental school I want to be a orthodontist but I don’t know what I need to do to become a orthodontist thanks and great videos

@DrGregAsatrian 6 лет назад

Thanks so much Colton! I think that's a great idea! I have a super short one filmed that I can release and you can let me know if any questions - happy to dive more into it to help you out!

@nameisnotwhatyouthink3342 6 лет назад

That would help so much thank you :)

@DanielleFlorez13 5 лет назад

I see you doc 😍😍😍

@mcruz8128 4 года назад

Thank you for the very detailed video!! I got my braces last month and had to unfortunately get bite turbos on my back molars because I have an overbite. I was originally supposed to just get my bottom braces first, then my top braces after my overbite has been corrected. I chose to get bite turbos instead to speed up the treatment time but man it sucked so bad in the beginning!! LOL. I got a lisp and don’t even get me started with the difficulty I had with eating 🤣 All is well now, a month later I’m very used to it.. I just chew much much slower now. The only dislike I currently have is the changes it had on my jaw and facial structure. My face looks a lot longer than usual and my jaw feels a little sore sometimes and I think its because I’m unable to fully close my jaw (I can barely smile with my lips fully closed!). Do you think this is just temporary and it’ll eventually go back to normal Doc? Thanks for your input!!

@piprolls867 2 года назад

How long did you take before removing the bite turbos for good ?

@ashleyhelm8224 5 лет назад

I have bite turbos on my first premolars 😭😭 I have no clue when they will come off but they are the worst. I clench and they hurt everyday. I swear my teeth underneath these demons ore broken by now 🤕

@jadenisntfine1593 4 года назад

Ashley Helm it's way to hard eating with them

@miaj5455 4 года назад

Just got them on my premolars also and I can’t even think about eating .. it’s just no possible way

@ashleyhelm8224 4 года назад

Mia J I got mine off about 3 months ago! I eventually got used to it! Hand in there it gets better but Mac and cheese and mashed potatoes become your new best friends

@miaj5455 4 года назад

Congratulations!!! And thank you !!!

@pluto31337 3 года назад

I got mines two days ago and they hurt so bad and I can’t even eat 😫

@yejikim7509 5 лет назад

Hi Dr.Greg love your video all the time. If bite turbo is on the specific tooth, wouldn't the tooth be intruded? go inside?

@DrGregAsatrian 5 лет назад

That's a great question! Usually when all the teeth are in braces, the tooth with the turbos wont be intruded because the whole arch is serving as one. Also, it takes a very consistent force to intrude a tooth and usually you are not biting on your turbo all day!

@edw1no 5 лет назад

I’ve had braces for almost a year now but I just got the bite turbos today

@katakanasolank3571 6 лет назад

What is the metal band they you’ll have on the back of your teeth when you have a herpst?

@DrGregAsatrian 6 лет назад

Which metal bands are you referring to? The ones that go all over your teeth like I showed in the herbst video?

@TheHoneyblossomx3 4 года назад

How do I know when I'm ready to get the turbos on my front teeth off ? I've been having them on since 8 weeks and I want them to be off :D

@lorenaesquivel9142 2 года назад

Got mine today. They are annoying and I feel kind of desperate from not being able to close my (bite) properly. I do have a huge lisp when speaking English but it’s not so bad in Spanish. I can’t wait to get rid of them!!
