This dangerous situation is getting worse basements dentistry is not a hobby. Keep on informing the public. Just say this is for fair use if we’re educational purposes and anyone who has been harmed by these people should report them to their local state health department or law enforcement. Have a good day sister.
@@kielhall8363 doesn't take education to know a dentist office from a basement. If you choose to get work done on the black market you have to accept what comes with it good or bad. That's like buying drugs off the street and calling the police because you aren't satisfied with the drugs you bought. The people going to these basements aren't innocent.
So performing dental work without gloves, PPE, using a nail clipper to cut wires and putting a UV light in someone's mouth without protective eyewear. This is beyond scary 🤦🏾♀️
@@Sonworshipper I’m not fully knowledgeable about the law from all the videos I’ve watched it is considered assault and battery cause the person who does dental work when they are not a licensed dentist.
These are the same people that cry after the real dentist tells them they’re going to be needing dentures. It’s so sad that people are out here scamming and the people without good judgement are promoting it.
It’s also crazy because I bet NONE of these people own an autoclave or know anything about sterilization processes. Sanitized isn’t the same as sterile. Lord.
Sanitizing Sanitizing is designed to reduce the number of microorganisms to a safe level. Sterilizing Sanitizing should not be confused with sterilizing. While sanitizing reduces microorganisms to a safe level, sterilizing removes all microorganisms from an item. Sterilizing is not often performed in a commercial kitchen environment, but is used in places like hospital operating rooms.
The fact that he still has an overbite means that the fake orthodontist doesn’t know ANYTHING. The proper clinician will try to fix the bite also. Ridiculous.
People can barely afford rent dude, this is inevitable. Having risky illegal work that makes a slight improvement is better for some people than having nothing done. America needs to fix its greedy institutions and then this stuff won't happen. We don't have this happen in Europe, because poor people get free dental care
@@xxxxOS Having risky illegal work IS NOT BETTER. Keep in mind this is a more expensive risk than just leaving your teeth alone. If you get ANY forms of nerve damage or gum infections you'll have to pay for your recovery regardless. Which is inevitable with an untrained medical amateur. The woman wasn't even wearing gloves in some videos. Comments like these makes me feel so little sympathy for some idiots who gets dental work done by strangers in a house kitchen and end up botched. I can understand that not everyone is in a financial situation for oral work. But anyone who needs real help with their teeth will not find it with the an unlicensed dentist as they do not have the knowledge, equipment, resources, or even experience to actually fix teeth or give you a proper temp job. They're just scammers praying upon those financially struggling with false promises.
There are many resources poor people have in the US for dentistry. This is all cosmetic and unnecessary. These people aren't filling cavities, cleaning teeth, doing extractions, treating gum disease, etc. If you are poor and need real dental work for your health, there are many resources. I bet you every single one of these people have Medicaid card, and that covers real dentistry.
It’s not even the lack of gloves… having those braces on, aren’t really doing anything because they don’t have the bracket in the back that wraps around your molar to anchor the braces to. That’s what provides the support to twist the wire and make the appropriate changes… Love, A former braces wearer.
im curious as to what you mean exactly bc i had my braces on all but my last teeth most of the time. my ortho left the very last ones out most of the time bc my mouth is small and there’s barely any space between the tooth and my cheek so it was cutting me really bad. but the brackets on my 6th teeth did look different from the rest so maybe that’s what matters? update: read in a different comment about master brackets. i suppose that’s what they were, they had a little hook
@@mmmmmmmmaria exactly and i am glad you saw the update. this is no different that then lil white kid swearing rubber bands. any pressure will more your teeth, just as the removal of the pressure will send them right back
Because they're delulu. “Im going to contact my lawyer.” I'm a LICENSED medical professional and the fact that these people are just coming out of the woodwork is making me panic about what is going to turn up in the ICU. Had a lady who came to America after having work down in Mexico, my heart broke for her because she got an awful infection and admitted that she went the cheaper route to have liposuction and skin removed and we had to keep applying for Visas to extend her medical stay to get her infection under control. As some people have been saying in the comments going the CHEAPER route will cost you so much more. Infections in the mouth and face can be DEADLY. KEEP MAKING THESE INFORMATIONAL VIDEOS SO PEOPLE CAN SEE!!!
@@BusiswaG your video was a perfect response. She need to get educated. Dont put your business on the internet if you don’t want people to do commentary.
You need X-RAYS before braces to check BONE HEALTH. Having bone degeneration and putting FORCE in your teeth will have them fall straight out your mouth. Aside from that, the risk of misalignment is HIGH, and you need a retainer which is SPECIALLY made for each individual. This is all a mess and they will live to regret this…
The fact that it’s cheaper to have your health insurance pay for the braces to be done professionally is killing me you risk your TEETH what you need to talk and eat and stuff for unprofessional unhygienic braces what 😭
people really don’t understand the HUGE role their mouths play in their health and it scares me bad.. like you fuck up your mouth you might fuck up your life FOREVER !!
@@delusion5867It's not even just that. Bacteria can enter your bloodstream through your gum tissue and cause infections. Not to mention the fact that if they're not cleaning their tools properly, there's a risk for things like HIV.
@@danielleburke87 I doubt any insurance would cover it, and by that point, if she's that cheap to to go to someone unlicensed, there's a good chance she'd need dentures or implants well before that
Wearing braces when you don’t need them is harmful to your teeth. They don’t understand your teeth are more than exterior, they are bones! No one is doing X-Rays to see what’s going on internally. 🤦🏾♀️ Please go to a dental school and they can get you together so much cheaper and it’s an actual dental and orthodontist in the office!!
Omg, this is my first time learning that people do dental work in their homes!😳 I can't believe people are willing to let unlicensed individuals do dental work on them. Dental health is NOTHING to take lightly. Cheaper doesn't mean better. Quality and professionalism is what you strive for.
Even with a licensed dentist/ orthodontist things can still go wrong. Idk why people don’t take their health seriously. The mouth is basically connected to your entire body.
The person who threatened you with legal action tried this tactic on another content creator. She sent the creator a cease and desist letter threatening legal action for spreading misinformation and advised them to remove the videos. She also claimed that she received death threats as a result of said content creator. After some digging, the "attorney" she used comes from Fiverr. Also, the death threats were questionable and came before the content creator posted the video.
Yep, Isabella was the one who did research. There are other "techs" who also sent these faux "cease and desist" letters to the TikTok creators that mentioned them
The thing is, she might be in school to be a dental hygienist, but even so they don't learn to put on braces. So the schooling she's getting isn't really relevant to that. It's hard because I get needing stuff like braces and feeling so self-conscious, but you don't have insurance and can't afford the ridiculous prices to get them fixed the right way. There's such a need for this service of affordable dental care and braces, but it can't just be anyone doing it.
Dental Hygienists DO learn how to put on braces. At least where I live. They still can’t practice on their own. They need a client specific order from the orthodontist before they can do anything in your mouth. Right now my son is undergoing orthodontic treatment and each time it has been a DH putting on the brackets, changing the wires, etc. The orthodontist just comes in for 2 mins and tells the DH what needs to be done.
@@JustJerseyJo95 Yes! This!! Lifelong University of Pittsburgh dental school patient here! They're so cheap to begin with, their payment plans are great, and they'll even knock you out for $140 extra!
Not just less risk, but like, doctors also know what it looks like when somethings wrong and know how to fix it. Are they going to know when something will go away on its own or whether they should go to the er? Probably not.
Also, insurance. If they're licensed and make a mistake, they are covered by insurance to fix it/pay out compensation. These guys aren't, plus as you said they don't know anatomy so could miss important life saving illnesses and make mistakes
ALSO, while yes, there is a risk going to A licensed provider, You have standing legal recourse to pursue In that case. If you go to somebody illegal and they mess up your mouth, there's nothing you can do.
@@jessguzman Sure but there's most likely not going to be any money won from the case because you're just suing a scammer who plays with teeth in their kitchen. Everything will go to the lawyers. So you'll still have a botched set of teeth.
You dont need someone's permission to use the videos they have posted to a public social media platform. Ask any influencer that tries to a delete a video and it gets reuploaded immediately
Ma'am, I have had braces...twice! Braces on the bottom teeth are of the devil! This is nothing to play with. You are forcing your teeth to move within the bone. My ortho put a tongue trainer behind my teeth because my Tongue would push against my top teeth without me even knowing. I wonder if she knows about that? I don't just blame the lady for selling a dream, I blame all of these people who know this is illegal but choose to disrespect the law and their body for purchasing what is surely a dream. If you don't wear a retainer or bond them on, your teeth are going to shift right back. The lady does not realize she is a hypocrite by beating up others who go to the basement while she is promoting the same behavior. What if the person pulls off the enamel if they try to pull off those brackets incorrectly. Mark these words. The FBI will be coming in with a referral and this is going to be blown up.
They never put in the master brackets in the very back second to last molar on the top and bottom to connect the wire to!!! So it's not properly moving. Everything moves back in thirty days. My mom is an orthodontist and does EVERYTHING with teeth. I only had mine on as an adult for eight months. It was so painful that first month that I couldn't eat or sleep. I had to brush them in the morn and before bed plus Everytime I ate or drank anything. If they don't know what they are doing, it permanently affects your teeth and mouth for life. There are teeth that are too thick, too thin, too weak for them. And you can get carbon pockets that turn your teeth BLACK jet black from the calcium buildup around the brackets. You can't drill it off. It goes all the way into the root. The glue they use is toxic and causes cancer if swallowed. It looks like they didn't properly protect for that.
My husband & I run a lab and we work with legitimate dentists to correct this kind of stuff due to the poor results of illegal dental work. You might be getting it on the cheap, but in the long run you will be doing permanent damage and it's going to cost you a fortune to fix. Also consider nobody is getting x-rays here so I can assume there plenty of silent decay happening. There are way too many things that can go wrong, not only with infection, but getting to where all your teeth need to be pulled or replaced with implants $$$$$. Not so cheap anymore!!! :/
I agree with this. I wish dentistry was more accessible so more people could actually get certified and help their communities. Dentistry is not like lashes you can't just learn and start.
For God's sake. Medicaid already covers it. Maybe if there weren't massive fraud & 50 million illegals flooding that socialist drain on the TAXPAYERS it might be more "accessible", huh?
Y’all do know that the nerves in your teeth affect your brain. You can get an infection in your tooth and the infection can travel up to your brain. Let’s start going to the professionals mkay!
There's a trend in my place a decades ago where people get braces for aesthetic reasons and not for health, instead of going to an actual orthodontist/dentist they would go to roadside beauty bar and did the same exact thing like in this video. Some of those people are regretting their choice, because their teeth are jumbled and even rotating, it took years and lots of money to fix...
Not to mention anybody who has ever worn braces knows that you have to wear a retainer for the rest of your life or your teeth will revert to the way they were.
I literally have two missing teeth and my overall dental health is better now than it has ever been. I had To have them surgically removed by an actual doctor, and until I can afford to have Bridges put in by an actual dentist, I would rather just live with missing teeth than to have somebody who doesn't know what they're doing sticking their hands in my mouth. Tooth pain is excruciating, and once they're gone they're gone. There are tons of things you can do for aesthetics that don't have an adverse effect on your health, messing with your teeth is not one of them.
can they give you some sort of temporary contraption to wear before you can get the bridges? your tteeth can shift pretty fast if there’s empty spaces where there shouldn’t be. i was in a car accident at 14 and got my first set of braces soon after, the doctor didn’t fix the chipped corners on my front teeth and my entire mouth shifted in a certain way just bc of two chipped corners.
@@belajadevotchka2 because all my remaining teeth shifted in the direction where the empty space created by the chip was and the ortho who fixed up my teeth somewhat after the first one fucked up so bad confirmed it, белая девочка. не надо строить из себя самую умную
If someone says that they're in a sketchy business to finish school, it is usually a lie. It's a front to make you feel comfortable with the services and make that person seem more human or good. If they were a good person or "educated," they won't be ruining peoples lives.
I'm thoroughly shocked that this is something people need to be actively warned about and I mean that genuinely. Teeth are nothing to play with and can quite literally kill you.
The lip filler video honestly informed me so much. I’m 17 and sometimes I feel insecure about my lips, they are small they’re just not plump enough and I was interested In the needless lip filler.
Girl, nobody, let me emphasize that- NOBODY cares about your lips but you... especially good men! Not only do they not care, they hardly notice. Stop trying to keep up with crazy looking women. Your sense of self is becoming warped.
The *literal* criminal, criminal Kimberly Claire (oooh, alliteration!), commenting about "legal action" is so ironic that it is almost poetic. And she should tread very carefully using the name of God in vain like she did. As I have said before, it is 100% stupidity and 0% priorities. You are so right--what if people instead but effort into reading... math... school... to actually go to a university and a contributing member of society rather than a leech and a scammer.
I'm not Black so I don't want to overstep, but the cartoon icon of "bracesplug" looks a lot like racist caricatures of black children circa late 1800s/early 1900s.
I have a family member that does this stuff. I think they might’ve stopped or they realized what they are doing is going to catch them up but yeah 😬 this is one of those things where you get what you pay for…
Hey! I'm loving this series and I'm from Brazil,we recently had a huge problem with an unlicensed professional who did a phenol -peeling procedure on a couple and both of them died! This is getting so out of hand! People just don't seem to Care anymore
@@BusiswaG It is! People are willing to risk a lot for looks, even their life! I think BBC or CNN covered It, 'cause said professional did an internet course on peeling and never really attended any classes.
I just came across your videos and I love it...and I appreciate the awareness cause I never knew about any of this...I've been watching the whole Playlist and did not know people were out here putting in braces in their homes 😅 this is wild...one thing though when people say "a person can go to the doctor or dentist or surgeon, etc and something can happen..difference is they have malpractice insurance basement Betty don't so if this unlicensed person does something to harm you how will u get compensated for your loss? You can't sue cause u already knew it was illegal...smh now you're more money out of pocket cause u gotta go get what they did wrong fixed
There was someone in the background of the first chick that had no shoes or socks on 🤢🤮 If im getting my mouth worked on, them dogs better be covered!! My dentist would neva!
That first girl's gums are SO OVERGROWN. This is a sign of poor hygiene and potential infection. She needs to see an orthodontist ASAP! And how do you just have loose brackets on your teeth? They aren't doing anything if they aren't attached to any molar tubes/bands. 🤦🤦
I've had orthodontics more than half my life. It wasn't scary really since I've always had insane anxiety of dental work. Each time I got my teeth worked on, it felt like they were close to breaking a tooth or pulling on them. Seeing this really amplifies my fear and thank God I have gone past this and now wear a retainer for the rest of my life.
Im more upset at how expensive it is to get oral care. Oral care has a huge impact on your overall health and it impacts low income minorities the most. The system created the lane that people like this drive in.
as someone who spent a whole year trying to get my teeth right after a few years of deep depression, i feel so bad for these people who are knowingly messing up their smiles. they will regret this.
if "laugh now, cry later" was a whole scenario! I get it, Corrective Dentistry is super expensive, but the ADA should create an affordable system to help cover the costs of getting SAFE work done! Still, it's just not worth risking it all! 2020 ushered in a flood of hustlers!!! 15:00 Oh no, it's in the 901 now, too?! The dental college here allows low-cost, SUPERVISED services that are way safer than this! You just have to get on the waiting list.
There is NO WAY I’d let someone who isn’t licensed nor has a degree dig in my mouth… especially with no gloves on. 😅 my PROFESSIONAL braces cost me $4500 & I don’t regret it at all…
I just dont understand how there are no any proffesionals just trying to offer proffessional work at cheaper. In my experience, im a psychologist, and during my practices at my master's degree, the place we were at was in our college. This place offered therapy but it was a place for students like us to learn, so the conditions were that we could observe the cases. We would observe the cases behind one of those magic mirrors, and also one of us was inside the room with the proffessional therapist. So they were attended by proffessionals but also LICENSED psychologists could be able to observe their cases, of course everything confidential. This condition made the service much more cheaper. In a normal consult the price can be 70€ each session, due to these conditions the patients had to pay 12'50€ per session. So it was much more cheaper but they were attended by proffessionals anyway. There could be a dental school offering something like this without risking the legal factors and health of the patients.
Subscribed!! 🔔 You’re doing important work exposing the patterns of fraudulent work. Also, I am more of a RU-vidr listener than watcher so I appreciate this content format and really hope you continue narrating the comments you screenshot in your videos.
I used to be a dental assistant, and the one thing I thought about with the lady not using gloves is not only the risk to the patient, but also the risk to the person doing it. Is she making patients fill out a medical history? What about blood borne pathogens? I’m not a dentist but after watching a dentist at work and listening to them I can say that braces are not purely for aesthetics. If your bite is not corrected properly I’m pretty sure that can cause serious long lasting issues. And the one that said she did plaque removal and FILLINGS!!! Also sounds like a recipe for permanent damage.
My god. As someone with braces that IS NOT how braces is supposed to look..like not at all! I don’t know anyone who does braces like the first girl. And you don’t take braces off to “deep clean” you don’t take them off unless it’s time to!
My dad always says if your gonna do something do it right. Becouse the mistakes done will be twice expensive. Also I hope people know who do this. The teeth are very sensitive, meaning if you get a real bad infection or if dig to deep you can loose your teeth or your life
When I was in Dental Assistant School, a lot of the students would say they were in “ Dental School” to make themselves sound more important. Some of these veneer techs and basement braces babies could be dental assistant drop outs. Just enough information to be dangerous.
No way nobody putting braces on my mouth in no basement period. I don’t care how good they look. My niece let somebody put braces in her mouth, bet she don’t have them on no more. It’s all fun and games until you get an infection period.
Gaps between teeth isn't a good sign, it means there's gum erosion. A real dentist would have been able to say something. I wouldn't be shocked if this same person in six months to a year has to either get expensive density done or wear dentures.
Everything about this sucks :( *not the video, to be clear, the situation of all the fake dentists and whatnot Like, clearly people want (or maybe even need) dental care, but due to the state of health insurance and the cost of receiving care in the US, they aren’t able to safely get the care they want. But some of these are also due to societal pressure to look good, look pretty, look “rich”… and at the end of all of this, greedy people with no moral compass are the ones taking advantage of these people who are desperately looking for solutions to their problems.
I blame youtube and ebay. All it takes is a quick search and a little money and you can purchase anything you need and learn to so dentistry work. There shouldnt be Access to professional grade dentist work online for anyone to purchase. There should be license and regulations to acquiring the equipment to prevent this. If you teach a person to fish and give them fishing poles and bait you cant expect them not o fish. This is no different than people going get illegal but shots. They know exactly what they are partaking in. People should have the right to sign a waiver do as they please if they can.
I started crying laughing when she was talking about her not wearing gloves. I have to respect that she understands that its ghetto and shes funny af but she has no idea how dangerous having somebody play in her mouth is
So I just want to say keep up the good work thank you for all your videos they're so informative and I like how you care about the well-being of others and your exposing these people that don't really care about them they just care about the money and you know they don't care you know about how they're going to their clients are going to end up you know and plus plus it might look like go to like really nice on the outside but in the inside of the mouth it could be hot like getting cavities and all that and people don't even know that because they didn't go to school you know and the clients are like oh I'm looking you know they're good and whatever cuz I'm just looking at the outside of them all like they're not really caring about what's really going on in the inside so I just want to say thank you for making these videos I really learn a lot and keep up the good work
Another reason to go to an actual dentist/doctor is because of something goes wrong due to negligence, there's insurance for that. The doctor carries insurance just in case something goes wrong, you don't get that with these backyardigans 😂😂
Hahaha that woman was glorifying the WRONG. Girl, if you're saying you don't care that she's wearing gloves and didn't finish Dentistry, if you're gonna have a infection (someday) we also didn't care. Okay??
Not condoning this, but if dental care was covered by health insurance (as your teeth are very integral to your health and can cause stroke, heart disease, meningitis, etc if not properly cared for), or just less expensive in general, people wouldn't feel the need to go to illegal basement "dentist". And criminals wouldn't come up with the ideas to do this stuff, at least less often since the professionals would be affordable enough.
You are correct. It's also a thing of people being traumatized by getting it done by professionals and having their teeth, hair, skin, surgery, etc. botched; college education doesn't make anyone perfect or infallible ... they mess up too just like EVERYONE else. A legal, 15+ year dentist with 4.8 out of 5 stars and over 1K reviews botched my crown and root canal. I suffered for 7 months on meds because of it. Now I don't ADVOCATE for back alley, basement, kitchen "professionals" over liscensed ones, but I'm also not down with pretending as if professionals get it right every time either or that they're even casually accessible when most Americans are poor.
Braces are cosmetic not a necessity , And they are covered under dental insurance under a certain age, which is typically 19 years old.On the contrary, dentures and implants are also covered under dental insurance.So I don't even know what you're talking about.
@@MisFit...ButGod Those things are covered under dental insurance, not basic health insurance like medicare or medicaid. And in the cases that dental care is covered under low cost and affordable health insurance it's only for people under 21 years old. Braces are generally cosmetic, but they can also be preventative care by aligning your teeth in a way so that they are healthier in the long run. Misaligned teeth are more likely to develop dental disease, be knocked out of your mouth, etc. They don't have to be a necessity, sure, but its better to prevent a problem before it happens instead of waiting for it to happen and then treating it. Thats the same reason you have regular doctor visits. They're not a "necessity" until they are. The issue I have is that dental care is a part of your overall health, it should be covered by Health Insurance. Same with eye care. They should not be a separate thing. And they should be affordable. I had no dental insurance all throughout my undergraduate degree because I couldn't afford it even though I had the free health insurance.
Comfortable or not, you need to strategically place brackets on the molars as anchors. They don’t know which way to angle or level each bracket therefore they’re going to pull in teeth like a mouse.
That one girl, I’ll give it to her,she has a point. She may be going to somebody getting illegal braces, but she definitely is right about “veneers”. You can go to a professional and get your stuff fixed if you get black market braces. It may cost you a bit but it’s cheaper than getting dentures and caps bc your entire enamel is GONE from a nail file in someone’s basement.
This is dangerous on so many levels what people dont relaize is that if you have health issues that plays a big part of what your dentist need to know also why not just go to a real dentist if you have health insurance alot of things like braces, venners,caps etc. is cover by the insurance and if not alot of dental offices have payment plans where they work with you to get the work that you may need.
Also, on the rare chance that a licensed professional does eff you up, you have legal recourse, and ability to get financial reparations. The only recourse you have with these frauds is sending them to jail.
