After getting my braces taken off both bottom and front teeth are very flared out I recently went to an orthodontist and didn't give me any hope since there was no pre molars to take out since I had braces 13 years ago and they were taken out back then. knowing this now gives me some hope to fix my teeth some day 🥲Thank you for the video!
Hello u can remove ur wisdom teeth and create space and use mini screw or TAD to move ur teeth..use that method , u won't get satisfaction from any other methods.
Absolutely! IPR is a great method for those patients that already had extraction and additional retraction/uprighting is needed. As long as you have enough enamel, then this is a great way to get straighter teeth!
Teeth are not like cars meaning that you can't put them in reverse. The wisdom teeth have no effect on anterior flaring. I have yet to see anyone successfully wisdom teeth space for flaring. This is why choosing your doctor is very important.
@@drpassamano Thank you Dr. I also had my wisdom teeth extracted as well right now I'm having some discomfort on bottom teeth I think its because my front and bottom tooth hit each other when saying certain words so I have to be careful when I speak
Your dad was my and my mom’s orthodontist. He was the best! Good to see you are keeping the family business going! Definitely taking my kids to you when they are ready. I’m hoping to win that Yeti bag😁
Dr. Robert Passamano is extraordinary. My kids have flourished under their care, and I've witnessed remarkable improvements. I enthusiastically recommend them to anyone seeking exceptional ortho care for their children.
Thank you Dr. Robert for this video.Just Subscribed !! Thinking about getting Invisalign I'm still confused and have lots of queries.Using KRISS AI for all my questions.🙂
I recently got Invisalign, and KRISS AI helped me prepare and maintain my treatment by providing information on cleaning, foods to avoid, and proper usage.
I always like the knowledge and the way you guys explain the process. It make us feel more comfortable of the entire process. I am glad my two kids are having you guys as their orthodontist we look so many places and you guys are just perfect!!
I have crooked teeth in front and a bit of protruding jaw , i consulted 2 doctors both advised for all 4 wisdom teeth removal along with invisalign. However i don't want to extract my teeth. Is there any alternative way for the same?
Hi Doc, I'm nearly done with Invisalign and wore braces 20 years prior. My orthodontist is happy with my result but I feel my teeth still very much flare/stick out. I was told I can't get a better result than this and that teeth are meant to flare out a bit. However, that's contrary to the examples I'm seeing that you have posted and I recall a better result when I wore braces 20 years prior (but I was told that was my younger/smaller teeth). Your results are beautiful. Any recommendations on how I can advocate for myself? Thank you!!!🙏🏼😊
Tough question when the orthodontist says you're done, but you're actually not done. If you received an Invisalign Complete package, then you can order more trays without a cost to the orthodontist. If you have one of those limited plans, then every order costs the orthodontist. All of these cases are with the Complete plan in this video. Regardless, have a conversation with the orthodontist that you'd like to reduce the flaring another 3 degrees and you saw a video about IPR and wanted to try that out. If the doc says no, then ask about offering to pay the lab fee. Give that a try!
Great question. Non-extraction IPR for teeth re-angulation has very little or no effect on the lips because the roots are not translated, but tipped inward. Extraction treatment with braces will have a noticeable change in the lip position. I tell patients that IPR only will maintain the lip position, so that's the big difference between extraction vs non-extraction IPR.
Great question! Braces generally reduce bimaxillary protrusion better than Invisalign because braces can do greater movements more efficiently. The slide I put up of braces had much more retraction/uprighting than the Invisalign retraction/uprighting. Hope that helps!
@@drpassamano when u say braces, ur referring to braces with extractions correct? Because i had nonextraction braces that only made my teeth flared and mouth really protrusive. So if i want a significant reduction in my protrusion, extraction is the way to go?
Invisalign IPR for re-angulation of about 8 degrees usually takes me about 10 months without crowding and 14-16 months with crowding (because you have to resolve the crowding first).
In 1998, I had what the ortho called the "First Phase." In 2008, I should have gotten the second phase, but unfortunately, my parent's finances at the time were going towards my dads cancer treatments. Fast forward to 2024, and my teeth are flared out. I have been teased so badly because of it. I hope i can fix it one day.
If your teeth were like any of the examples, then you can absolutely get Invisalign as an adult. Invisalign is great for reducing flaring. It sounds like orthodontic treatment could be life-changing for you. I hope you can get treatment soon! Wishing you all the best!
@@limayelemon-x7u It should be as long as the patient wears the retainer to maintain the orthodontic result. Teeth can move whether you've had orthodontic treatment or not. Hope that answers the question!
3:02 i think this case needed expansion to make the actual teeth go back and keep it tipped forward to keep the angulation in the philtrum and would also preserve lip definition
Good observation! It's much harder to expand in adult because there's no new bone made so teeth must be housed in the bone housing. This would have been best with extraction treatment as a teenager.
Hello Dr. it is possible to use the top jet clix distalizer first than work with invisalign, I had already have molars extracted but case is really bad.
There are many ways to reduce protrusion which do include distal jet, extraction, IPR, Space closure, Surgery, TADs, etc ... every person is different and the mechanics differ for each person. Finding a great orthodontist will ensure you get an amazing result!
Hlo sir My all teeth are straight but 2 upper teeth are proclined My dentist said about pre molar extraction but i dont want to extract my teeth. What should i do Should i go for daman braces?
The last case was the slight retraction of lips, improvement in chin profile and re-angulation of lower teeth (flared to upright). This was done with Invisalign and took about 18 months to accomplish. The current 2024 pricing on this is around $7k.
I've also done open bite closure with braces before. I use Invisalign more though because it can hold vertical, but with Custom Braces, then it is less of a difference. Damon braces are not custom braces. You'll likely be wearing the up/down rubber bands. Good luck!
Great question. TADs can be used on any case. The question is if it's needed. I only use TADs when auxillary forces are needed to accomplish the goal. These patients in this video did not need TADs. Thanks!!
I have my uper teeth flared and lower teeth flared but the lower ones are not that flared the uper ones are more am getting my pre molars from uper teeth i dont know what to do i wanna get aligners will it help am i suppose to remove my pre molars?? As my doctor said yes to it what do you think!!?? Are braces better or aligners what should i go with please tell!
It sounds like you need to get a second or third opinion. Please educate yourself before committing to treatment. Every person has different needs and different treatment plans. Good luck!
I want my flared teeth fixed so bad 😢, It’s ruining my confidence and I don’t want it to worsen. I am 19 and my family has been experiencing financial problems, they’re experiencing lots of stress and they tell me that there’s no money for getting braces. I wanna work or start my own business but still, I don’t have money to start it and I can’t risk stopping school to work. Still, I’m gonna try to find some opportunity to work my way up so that i can afford getting treatment for myself, maybe even help my little brother so that he won’t experience the same issue.
Sending good vibes your way. You are still much younger than all of the examples in this video. These patients are 23, 26, 34, and 46 years old. You have plenty of time. Just remember that braces and cars used to cost the same price. Braces has never been more affordable.
Asking fore more reduction in flaring with more IPR is a very reasonable request and your orthodontist will usually say ok! As long as there is enough enamel to where it would not be detrimental (and your bite can accommodate), then you can do it!
Wish IPR was a thing when I had braces at kid :) Is it possible to get invisalign where they don't go all the way down to your gums, nor inbetween teeth at transition at gums, say they would cover 80-90% of the teeth but not to the actual gum? I've had invisalign retainers made, unfortunately they all touch my gums and I had to do extensive nail clipping everywhere on them. They made my gums completely white when wearing it before I cut off all the plastic overlapping the gums- the invisalign lady who did the scan didn't care and was of no help unfortunately. I've seen some retainers post braces/invis be 50% of the teeth. Cheers
Great question. Invisalign retainers are designed to be trimmed before touching your gums so there's no covering of gum tissue. It sounds like you got a generic clear retainer and not an Invisalign branded clear retainer. There's a difference in materials and manufacturing between Invisalign Retainer vs Generic Retainer. Most generic retainers I see cover the gums as well, which sounds like you received. Go find someone that uses Invisalign retainers (not the cheaper alternative).
Great question. If IPR is done correctly, then no short or long-term issues like sensitivity or increased risk of cavities. I've done thousands of IPR procedures and have not had any issues. Thanks for the question!
There's a lot of factors (age, bone quality and quantity, position of teeth, gum tissue level/recession, etc) that will determine if you are even a candidate for palatal expansion. If you are not, then IPR is safe and effective for reducing flaring. I would suggest a consultation with an orthodontist.
How long it take you to fix the last one i think i have similar issues with my lower teeth. Im 20 and i dont wanna have braces😅. Can we fix it with ipr+invisiline?
The last example was 20 months. It's slightly longer because I was trying to do lip retraction which is more difficult with Invisalign than Braces/extraction. Hope that helps!
Wisdom teeth have nearly no effect on the flaring of the front teeth. I've seen some wisdom teeth alter the equilibrium and cause crowding, but never seen it cause flaring.
These youtubers only says about positive effects but these extraction and braces even has negative consequences. My face is completely ruined. Life was good before these things but now life is full of regret and depression.
Thanks for the feedback. Orthodontic treatment varies from patient to patient and results are definitely not the same for all people. I use Digital simulations to simulate where teeth are going before we start any treatment so we can see if there are going to be negative effects. Orthodontists should be looking at the face, lips, tongue, airway, bite, gum health, etc prior to doing treatment to make sure it benefits the person. In some cases, you can reverse some orthodontic movements so maybe you can get another consultation to see if you can make your situation better. Don't settle.
Hello doctor i have diastama on my front teethand a gap between 12 and 13 and 22 and 23 And lower the lower there is a gap of a tooth between 42 and 43 its a natural gap i used to have a Maryland bridge but i took it put causing somuch pain because of pressure and i have a tight contact at the rest of my teeth feeles little bit of mobility may be 1 ... is there any options i can do ... either braces or clear tray do you think am i eligible for either of these...
It sounds like a visit to the orthodontist would be great for you! Many of these consultations are complimentary (for the first visit). Maybe visit 2-3 different doctors to see who you like, and which can solve your issue the best. Good luck!
Great question. There's no difference in Damon Braces vs Regular Braces (many studies have already dubunked Damon Braces' claim of less extraction). I suggest you see an orthodontist and have a smile simulation to see what your result would look like. There are options to reduce flaring that include Extraction, Torque Control, IPR, TADs, etc ... Choosing a good orthodontist is the most important thing you can do.
@@aac2289 Great news! That correct that sometimes extraction can retract the lips too much. Sometimes extraction can get ideal lip position so it's all case specific and it sounds like you can achieve an awesome smile without extraction. Good luck!
@@aac2289 If you are asking about trusting your doctor, then it sounds like you need to get a second or third opinion. The patient should be confident in the treatment plan prior to starting treatment. Trust your doctor is #1.
