Guided Office Tour of Dr. Doug Orthodontics PLLC
hello! thanks for such an informative video. i got braces on 4 days ago and i find that my molars don’t really line up like they used to when i bite down. i’m not sure if the actual braces are in the way or if my teeth are already shifting. should i be concerned? i know its probably difficult to answer since you don’t know my specific case but i appreciate the info nonetheless!
Very coming to feel this way... And both things you suggested may be contributing! Nothing to be concerned about!
yall get someone to clip it for u and tell them to put pressure on the clippers it’s works
Got my braces today. Too painful now😢
First 2 to 3 days are the worst, but will get better after that, don't worry
what if the wire moves out on one end too much that it doesnt fit in the other side?
It needs to be shifted back. Call your orthodontist for a quick fix!
@@drdougortho thanks
I got my braces 2 day's ago but my dentist didn't give me any instructions this video is very helpful for me ,doctor please i have a question ,when ever i eat something even soft food ,my teeth's do touch with my super and down braces ,is it oky because I'm fearing my braces will break down ,and should I tell to my ortho to fix my braces properly ,hope I will get reply from you thank you doctor
You should NOT be able to bite on your braces, they will likely break off eventually. Let your orthodontist know!
i was on vacation, and accidently my mother threw the key, it was stressful, and we found it.. :']

it’s hurts so much I can’t even-
Hello! I have a question. My incisors are misaligned due to a buccally impacted canine causing them to shirt leftwards which makes my tooth midline off centre. Do you think this would this cause any issues with palate expansion? Thank you!
Most likely will not effect the expansion!
What if you don’t hear the click? Sometimes I hear it and sometimes I don’t. If I don’t hear it I feel like I’m doing it wrong 😖
I've never used an expander that has any kind of click... I assume some brands may be like that, but I can't be sure.
My dentist didn’t tell me to brush properly i got my teeth yellow😭now they are not getting white
Super helpful tips
What can I do if small food gets stuck under my bottom expander? I’ve tried flossing and rinsing but nothing works
I dont 'know if you orthodontist gave you one, but we give our patients "proxy brushes" (looks like a tiny pipe-cleaner with a handle), to get out food that brushing/rinsing doesn't get... you can get them in the pharmacy/drug store!
👍🏻
Who’s here to know more about palete expanders from Haminations
I'm sorry, not sure what you are saying/asking
@@drdougortho czcams.com/video/eBWh_9bGNcY/video.html
He's talking about the CZcamsr called @Haminations. He makes animations about his life and other things.
Bro how do you eat with this thing this is the third day I have it and I’ve been living off of protein shakes and baby food and I wanna eat something else tell me someone
Sorry! It gets better... It just takes time. How old are you?
I’m 11
Just give it a few days, you will be fine! @@NerdmonkeVR
@@drdougortho ok thank you😁
Dentist says our daughter has to get this at age 7, she's 5 now. Is it super painful?
Not at all! But make sure you see an orthodontist (specialist) to diagnose and treat if needed, not your general dentist!
@drdougortho okay. Dentist is saying she has a crossbite and referral will be given at 7 years old. I'm thinking maybe I should just ask for the referral now to see what the orthodontist says.
I’m getting this today can someone tell me if it hurt while being put in?
it should not! there are different ways to make/put these in... i can only speak for the way we do it that with the custom rings/bands on your teeth we make, there is ZERO discomfort on placing it on!
Any tips on eating aside from getting used to it??
Sorry... Just keep eating... It just happens!
Got it 👍👍
Helpful my mom ended up just stabbing me the first 4 times
Sorry! Remember she is learning too!
how long do they have to be on?
Depends on the case, but average I say 6 months for me
I just got mine 3 days ago, and i got the very uncomfortable ones where they have those brackets on the sides closet to the cheek and i was wondering how i could stop it from making my cheek from bleeding. I got wax to stick on the brackets but sometimes it doesn't work and doesnt stay for that long. But my main question ; is there anyway to stop it from hurting my cheek while eating for the first 3 weeks
the wax will stay on BETTER if you can somehow dry the area of metal before putting it on. i know it shard, but usually a papertowel around your finger to dry it a little while pulling your cheek out, then stick the wax on. I know its annoying, but eventually you will get used to the tubes that stick out.
@@drdougortho ok thanks!!!
I got mine today
Congrats! First few days can be rough... But it always get better!!
I am hung up on the offset in the key, I seem to think you are rotating the key.. once insert?
I watched your updated video, I understand why there is an offset.
you push front to back.. the screw rotates in that direction... the offset makes sure the key doesn't go THROUGH the hole and poke the palate
im crying because i cant eat peacefully bro like just give me jacked up teeth
it always gets better in a few days! hang in there!
Got my braces in today and I feel so much better about my regimen thanks to your video.
Glad I could help!
Hey can you tell me can i brush my teeth the day i got braces? Actually i brushed but one of the brackets came off
I just got my braces on and one of the bite blockers fell out, I’m not really sure what to do because it dosent seem to be causing any harm, plus the other one will eventually wear away aswell
You should call to have it replaced. Hitting on one can cause too much pressure on that one tooth
@@drdougortho thanks, got it replaced today
I am 15 turning 16 in october my palate is about 40-45mm wide do i need expander when will it stop growing
The palate width is done growing by about 6-8 yrs old... The need for an expander is not just based on it's width, but rather on how it fits the lower arch.
Im getting them in 3 days and im preparing im 22 yo so hopefully i take care of them better than kids do
Congratulations is not the word dude they hurt 💀
Thank you for the video. It was very helpful. Is there a way to make the hole bigger? We are on turn #3, and I cannot seem to get the key in this hole.
Unfortunately no, you can't make it bigger. You may have but completed the last turn and the hole is not fully exposed
Unfortunately no, you can't make it bigger. You may have but completed the last turn and the hole is not fully exposed
Thank you, we couldn't get it so this is very helpful for both me and my mom!
So happy it helped you guys!

Would it hurt if I’m a 12 (nearly thirteen) year old? I’m genuinely freaking out
You should be ok... May feel a little bit more tightness than younger kids, but you will be ok!
my dentist told meto do it 2 times a day and i got to keep it 12 days
thats ok... sometimes we do twice a day too
What happens if if falls off while turning it
Call your orthodontist right away to have it recemented! Do not try to turn it anymore for now
lol I checked this video after 11 turns just to make sure I was doing it right. Good news, I am! Thanks! 😂
Awesome!
I have hyrax rapid expander and now I can't close my mouth
Do you mean you can't bite down all the way? Like you are biting on the bands on your molars? That can happen and will feel more normal after a while
How much time it take to expend palate after in age of 23
I never try to expand someone tha old as the palate has matured and the 2 halves have grown together thus a traditional expander no longer works safely or properly, unless a surgical assist is done or screws are used to anchor it to the bone itself and not the teeth.
I got mine a week ago it gave me open wounds and canker sores on my tongue 😭😭
I'm sorry to hear that. It's not common but does happen to some patients who w/out knowing keep pressing their tongue against it. It will eventually get better!
Why is that sometimes the RPE screw doesn’t always sit at the roof and sometimes it’s kind of just floating?
depends on the shape of your palate. sometimes its so narrow that we can't make them as close to the roof of the mouth as others.
@@drdougortho I see. Thanks for responding. I’m wondering what’s better for the expansion and pressure? Like does it help to have it at the top bent like that or is it preferred for the arc of the expander to be more wide an thus floating?
I work in call center and with this thing is 90% impossible to talk freely and fast 😢
Sorry you are having trouble. Not often an adult gets an expander (usually hard to get expansion without a surgical assist)
Thank you so much
time to go find some pliers bite pads are making me wanna 💀
Please don't try that yourself! You could break your tooth!
i wish i had that, now it like i cant even eat anymore. the jaw expander then looked actually good and you could chew/eat and stuff but now i got mine and they totally changed the style and now i cant eat
Sorry to hear that. This type is called a HYRAX (the HY stands for "hygienic" bc it's easier to keep clean than other types.
Thanks so much!! Best video ever..
Glad it helped!
Thank you so much for this video!!!
So happy it helped you!
Thank you! I just wanna make sure I'm doing it right. 😭
