How Do Braces Actually Work?

- Misaligned teeth can put you at risk for tooth decay, gum disease, and even tooth loss. Braces shift teeth by applying pressure, which constricts blood flow to the surrounding tissue that holds those teeth in place. That in turn causes special immune cells called osteoclasts to rush in and dissolve part of the jawbone, creating a space for the tooth to slide over and relieve the pressure.

People about to get braces better *brace* themselves
omg.....
what a pun that is...
._.
Geez help meeee
thats right buddy, just walk yourself out. There we go. Nice and easy.
If you have braces, you know the struggle of finding small pieces of food in your mouth hours after brushing for 10 minutes.
Even after you use mouthwash too. 🙁
I literally made my tongue bleed because I was at school and the food wasn't coming out and I could only use my tongue and I picked at it for ten minutes straight until I realised that I could just use my water as mouthwash.
everytime i brush my teeth and look at the mirror there are still a small pieces of food left so i have to repeat brushing my teeth for may times 😂😂
@@NuclearGenesis i do floss every other day using a super floss
@@NuclearGenesis yeah, i feel like i might need a water floss because it's hard to floss with braces on.
As a dentist I must tell everyone that while this is true, it's just a tiny little fraction of what it really happens. The process is way more complex that cells sucking calcium from your jaw bone.
Well, I guess that's your chance to upload a whole video about the process, otherwise most people just want to know the main points.
Tell me more about it please since I'll begin my process this Autumn of bracing.
Came to the comments for this, thank you.
I agree. I have both impacted canines and was told by my dentist 3 X-rays ago that I had bone loss around one of the canines. She was concerned and told me that I could either lose the tooth or need a support. I had my most recent X-ray done by a different dentist and this new dentist said that he doesn’t see anything concerning!!! I was shocked and told my Orthodontist and he said that’s probably because the bone grew back. I was beyond happy to get that news because for many many months in a row my orthodontist was skipping working on my chains and just letting my canines fall on their own. I think he was being cautious about the bone loss and didn’t want to aggravate it by moving my canine too fast. Unfortunately this put me way behind in my treatment but maybe it was for the best. I’m 38 years old and have been in braces for 4.5 years. Right canine is 95% in place but the left one is giving me problems and looks like it’s barely visible from the side. I’m guessing my treatment will be done around the 5-6 years mark. I was told my treatment would only take about 2-2.5 years when I got my braces on. 😆😕
But tell me Mr. Dentist, does the bone grow back? And if not, does that mean we are left with even weaker teeth?
I got braces in college and had them for about two years. They could be a little painful in the beginning and after tightenings, but they weren’t that bad overall. It was really cool to see just how much my teeth moved over time, and to finally see the perfect end results. They also corrected a huge overbite that I had. Just wanted to comment for the people who haven’t yet gotten them, who might be scared or intimidated reading some of the other comments. Of course, everyone’s experience is different, and I’m sure that the pain feels a lot worse to children that to adults, but overall, I didn’t find it an unbearable experience. The worst part for me was trying to eat with the bite blocks on.
the bite blocks are annoying. do you have yo wear your retainers all the time or only during the night?
@@ferdoushihossain5922 I only wear them at night - they’re pretty comfortable! This will be my third or fourth year wearing them.
@@laurenbashoura9575 thanks. Did your teeth also become a little yellow while having braces on? I feel like all my teeth stained no mater how much I brush and floss and maybe the metallic wires also promoted bad breath? Idk tbh. But when you got your braces off, do they whiten your teeth or does it look whiter than before after they clean it up?
@@ferdoushihossain5922 I think a little yellowing is normal, but if you’re worried about the way your teeth changed after getting braces off, I’d consult a dentist. Everybody’s teeth and experiences are different. I didn’t see a huge difference in mine afterward, nor did I get them whitened, but that might not be the decade for everybody. Good luck!
Does braces affect jaw? Does it decrease jawline?
people who wear fake braces: braces are so cute!
people with actual braces: *i am in eternal pain*
Wait until people who undergo gum surgery.1 month pain is like 1 eternity in hell
Just got em today. Cant eat and they feel sore
@@wildele9699 got my bottom rows yesterday and they hurt like hell
@@whatthe640 bottom row is the worst because all the food gets stuck in there
@@Djerszium this right here
How dare they dissolve my all ready non existent jaw bone/line
Our bone do dissolve and regrown in our life time.... Apart for teeth which is strong thing we had so that the reason can not be dissolve and regrown...
Ahaha.
Luckily, you may be able to make that jawline a little more defined. The reason so many people have weak jawlines is because of bad oral posture. Many people in the modern world breathe through their mouths, which means that the tongue and jaw muscles no longer support the jaws, which leads them to grow downwards giving them very poor definition. On the other hand, good oral posture involves keeping the lips closed, teeth together and the tongue on the roof of the mouth, which prompts the jaws and cheekbones to grow FORWARD and outward, which is the way they naturally meant to grow, creating enough space for the teeth and an objectively more attractive face.
I highly recommend that you subscribe to the Orthotropics CZcams channel, run by Dr Mike Mew. It has a lot more information than this and it's absolutely fascinating.
@@fishofgold6553 a fellow man of culture i see
Periodt like why they gotta do that😭
This is a misleading video. Braces desolve jaw from one side and regrows on the other side. Kindly don't spread false information
Braces tip: As someone with braces, who has delt with food stuck in the darn braces, trust me a water flosser is a smart investment. The orthodontist gave me a free one after I got my braces on, and it works so well! Lol definitely try one if you're dealing with food stuck in your braces.
Damn. They gave you for free?! They must be really nice.

Honestly my experience with braces was quite painless, I think it kind of depends on each person's pain tolerance 🤔
Lucky :(, yeah depends on what your having done too.
same! the first two days i couldn’t eat anything but after that everything was completely normal
It depends on how crooked they initially were too. The more the orthodontist has to rotate or move your teeth the more they will hurt. If they aren't that crooked they will hurt less.
Bruh my braces never hurt at all & I've them for 2 months now, apparently it's supposed to be the worst in the beginning? only problem was the metal rubbing on the inside of my cheek the 2nd day when I ate, but the wax fixed that quick
@@audrey2498 it took me a week to eat good
I’ve actually had braces and if you’re gonna get them then trust me: they hurt a lot for the first couple of days- day 1 I literally couldn’t eat because my teeth felt like they were going to burst with every bite. After every tightening appointment it hurts for a couple of days but it is more like an inconvenient pain- nothing like getting them fitted for the first time. Basically- the only time you will ever be making that face at 00:01 is in the first couple of days. 99% of the time you forget they are even there.
I have had braces for 7 years , I don’t agree with you completely…. They can hurt each time they are tightened also you may have accessories on them additional stuff . They do hurt but it goes away later on until your next visit
@@shayl7849 I’ve never met a person that’s had braces for longer than me. (In four months I’ve had braces for 6 years). What were your issues?
@@Anna-pj8te 9 years here 💀
@@user-oj6di8bz1k I feel sorry for you 😂. I took my braces of at the end of last year. Had them for almost 7 years. What were your issues?
I’ve had them for one day and can barely eat anything more than very soft food. A salad was difficult today.
Just got braces yesterday and nobody warned me that eating anything harder than liquid hurts😒😔😔
Edit: just got them tightened and the pain is 10x worseeeee😭😭😭
It goes away...eventually
Ooohhhh it hurts. And it will continue to hurt. Don't worry though, the pain will dull down in a few days/week
AirPodsUser don‘t worry the pain will go away after few days, the first week will be the hardest though, your mouth will get used to all the metal in your mouth. You‘ll eventually get sore around your oral cavity, but that will only last for maybe the first weeks. I‘ve had my braces for about 2 months now, you‘ll get used to eat normally again.. for the first 2 weeks try eating really really soft food for example soups, mashed potatoes, yoghurt etc. The only annoying thing is that the food will get stuck literally EVERYWHERE... also don‘t worry if the wire goes off (that happens alot in the first few months)
It gets better
Eating spaghetti its the worse

I read a lot of comments how they had crooked teeth and braces gave them a new smile and new confidence. Which is true in my case as well. And then I read a lot of replies to those comments saying if you don't love yourself you will only see defects and imperfections etc etc.
People you do realise that a person can love themselves and still be conscious of their simle. Loving yourself doesn't mean that constant negativity doesn't affect you at all. We are all human and these things affect us. No one is perfect. People around me constantly point out my crooked smile but I still like to smile and laugh to my heart's content. But that doesn't mean their pointing doesn't feel bad. I appreciate that you tell people to be happy in their skin and smile but nobody can achieve that level of positively, that it builds up pressure on you to always be positive, to always love yourself. Excess of anything is bad even if it is self-love. We all love ourselves or learning to do so.
Please stop commenting how people need to stop seeking validation, I know you are trying to be nice but rather than that just tell us how braces gave us nice smile. We are all struggling and we all love ourselves but don't rub it on someone's face.
Well said
so true
THIS!
I really feel you should have added at the end that after you get the braces off, you're in a retainer for the rest of your life. Getting braces is a lifetime commitment.
It's not a big deal. You go to sleep, put it in and that's it. After a year, you use it few times a week.
What's it and how does it work
@@tanhakhan4733 after getting ur braces removed, you wear a retainer so it keeps ur teeth from going crooked again

my teeth never moved again and remained in place, never went croocked again siiiuuuuu
@@jrviade85 wait a little bit longer😂
As a guy who has had braces, I can say that braces are horrible while on and amazing when taken off
Braces are like shackles for your teeth; when on, they restrict what you can eat. But when they’re taken off, you’re free!
I wore braces through most of my pre-grade and grade school, when I finally got them taken off it felt like my teeth were shaved down or just not there. It felt soooooooo good to not have the wire scrape against the front of my mouth and the faint taste of the metal.
Also it doesn't help that for several weeks a wire in the back of my mouth kept poking into my cheek, but still.
I am so jealous of you ~~~ I feared the pain in the past , now i hope i have do the braces earlier ...sad
Your Friendly Neighborhood Lawbringer The poking wire was the worst
As a guy who had braces, I loved them and didn't want them off lol
“They come off for good and you can enjoy your new smile”
Until you’d realize you have to wear a retainer for literally the rest of your life
Yves Kidneys really why???
Yea why?
No you don’t lmaoooo
i have to wear a retainer plus braces made all of my teeth have spots on them with brown marks and nearly no enamel and my dentist is a liar and bad, joy
Nope. You only have to wear retainers half the time you wore braces. Purpose of the retainers are only to allow the jaw bone to grow back without the teeth going getting misaligned that’s already corrected by the braces.
Great to see this informative video. Learned a lot vs talking to a dentist who acts as if she's the best one but doesnt know how to explain to her patient properly whenever she's been asked how does braces works
As someone who has braces right now, they suck at first. When I first got them on and tried eating, I thought to myself "How am I going to do this for the next 2 years?"
Eventually you get used to it, and the pain usually only happens when you first get them on, or get them tightened. Take some Tylenol and you'll be fine.
I should also mention, my teeth weren't horribly crooked, so I cannot attest for the pain level for more uneven teeth.
"Until they come off for good"

Pain depends on what type of braces you have. I have the Damon system and I never had pain. A discomfort here and there but never had any pain: not after getting them on or after getting them tightened. The teeth move faster and you have less dental consults.
i wore braces for 5 whole years, and its already 5 years since i took them off, cant believe how fast time passed now, and how much i waited to get them off back then

I am okay with the pain of wearing braces for two years than the pain of getting laughed at and being called names for having crooked teeth when I was a kid. Not all of us are born with perfectly aligned teeth and I am glad I got braces and I am able to smile without feeling self conscious.
I felt the same and so I went through the process....I have finished one year of my treatment I have 1 more to go. My new straight smile (though metallic now) has given me so much confidence. They also had to remove 4 teeth from my mouth because of the excessive overcrowding and lack of space in my mouth for the teeth to align properly.

How

May i ask how old are you ? I am 27 now , wonder if i could still do braces
Should've worn your retainer.
Before braces, I had tiny rubber removable "spacers" to prepare the gums. One of them got buried so deep in my gum that my orthodontist thought it fell out, so they put another one in and forgot about the first. Months later, I went back with tons of pain and they found it so far deep in my gum that it turned from blue to red. No infection, somehow. Mouths are crazy!
HOW did they get the first one out? I'm just imagining they had to dig around your gum to let it free. Indeed our body is amazing.
Ooouch
Pro tip: when you get your braces off, DO NOT neglect wearing your retainer. I got mine off in middle school, stupidly figured those years of wearing braces meant they wouldn’t move and now I could use braces again. Lowkey it is my biggest regret in life.
“You can enjoy your new smile 😃”

@@abhiramisubhash583 yes if your under 18 I think
Thank God for braces. I had to have 4 teeth and 4 wisdoms removed but at least my lips could close. It was horrible having them - the cuts on my lips and the headaches and tooth pain. Having them removed was also a bit traumatic - having them wrenched off with tools that looked like pliers but when I smiled it was all worth it. Wish I wore my retainer though as my teeth did move a little but it still looks good 25 years later.
Means you had braces 25yra before?? ..I just want you ask one thing does your jaw line and cheek bone chin affected after 8..to 10yrs? Bcoz the teeth can be straight but moving a bit but with having extractions our Jaw drops overtime leading to loose skin and double chin. Is your facial profile good now? Are you still wearing retainers?
All my teeth are perfect just the upper 2 are overbite and it doesn't look good when I was child but as I was underweight and now my face structure looks better and sometimes I feel cute of my teeth from left side and from right it's bit weird. This happend bckz I am gaining weight to be fit so now the overbjte doesn't look too bad jts coverd by cheeks.
My dentist said to remove 4 teeth and one optional bckz my wisdom teeth is only half developed and my dream is to become singer.
If my face..jawline..changes worse bcoz of extractions and have short palette bcoz of that I might feel difficult in singing with retainers to be used forever now and then.
Pls tell does my face get more better or worse bcoz of extractions. Movement can happen and the aligned teeth won't be permanent anyway. So pls suggest weather I should get or not. Any age is ok for that? Am 20 planning to get after 25 or 30
Super grateful for my braces treatment! Honestly, I'm glad I stuck through the pain. If you're about to get braces, don't overthink it. It's so worth it in the end! 🥺🥺

Stop sharing incomplete information, will you???
Yeah there is osteoclastic activity which resorbs the bone towards the side of pressure, but there is osteoblastic activity at the opposite side, forming new bone, so that the tooth stays in new place, yes retainers are required for few months once braces are removed so that the new bone formed gets enough time to calcify and soft tissue arrange according preventing tooth to move back...
OMG THANK YOU!
👏👏👏👏
But I’ve heard that you have to wear retainers for life after braces? But like yeah of course only for a few hours in maybe like thrice a week
So many likes on this comment. Love it. Yes to exactly what you said. Even the visuals in the video fail to show new bone forming leaving viewers thinking that they've only lost bone. I also don't understand where they got that mechanism of action explanation. No mention of periodical ligament involvement. If I wasn't a dental professional, and I watched this video, I would be terrified of braces.
*periodontal (typo)
I was always curious how braces (also invisalign) work. Thanks for the video, it's impressive!!!
It's worth noting this same process can happen to your teeth. I had braces twice and it caused trauma to a molar that caused calcium restoration from the tooth itself, requiring it to be pulled out.

I wore braces for 1 year, retainers for 4 years. Then the dentist took the retainers off and my teeth got crooked again. Then i got Invisalign for 9 months and got my teeth straight again. I only wear my retainer at night but if i forget to wear it for 2 days, I can see my teeth starting to get crooked again. The dentist told me I need to wear a retainer forever
See the Orthotropics channel. Moving just the teeth without addressing the cause of misalignment won't cure the problem. I had classic teenage braces twice back in the day. Now at middle age, I'm going through a slow alternative to double jaw surgery with palatal and mandibular expander devices. It's working great so far, I have more of a chin!

What about the plastic retainers that have to be worn after the braces come off? What's that all about?
To catch your tooths in case of they fell out
I think it’s be make sure your teeth don’t move back to the original form
So they don’t shift back
where them, otherwise will prob set u back another $7500 (if ur in the US)

Why do those even exist, I hate the idea of having to wear retainers for the rest of my life to keep my 2 front top teeth straight. I honestly contemplated just not doing anything like that, because the pain and effort is too much just to keep your set straight, and plus if you don’t wear the retainers the top may go back to how it was. Honestly I don’t like it, but that’s just me
Australium oh, trust me, wear the god damn retainers and you won't have to get braces again. I still have my braces on, and I have had them since fourth grade.
i had braces for 5 years and i only wore my retainers for a year.. my teeth have SLIGHTLY shifted back to their original shape. slight occlusion on bottom teeth. main problem is the wisdom teeth shoving your molars around. just not worth it IMO
SAME BRUH SAME
@@memesahoy8750 how old are you now-
Had it for 3 years. In Sweden, we get it for free if you do it before a certain age. I'm very thankful for that and it was soooo worth it!
Thanks for this video. It was really informative.
I remember I used to be so excited for braces. I didn't think I'd go through pain for the next 4 years.
4 years here too and now I'm on my first year with retainers and I still have an overbite 😔😔 Apparently the dentists don't find it a problem but aesthetically I hate it

I’ve had my braces on for 6 months and it’s been a rollercoaster of ride. I’m having so much trouble eating and the cuts from the wires or springs are excruciating. I will say, it doesn’t hurt when getting new wires placed but the cuts are my biggest concern. I do feel that this is accurate information because I’m beginning to have pain above one of my teeth that it is so sensitive to cold or hot sensations..even if I touch my gums gently it will hurt… my teeth have shifted sooo much in the last 6 months that I hope I can get them off by the end of this year lol
I will be having braces by the end of this month, and I heard you could get wax to cover the wires that are cutting inside of your cheek
I am so grateful i never had to go through this pain
The day I got my braces was the day I shouted "KILL ME ALREADY"
Shaggy I should have done that
Good thing I did it on my early teen... It not that hurt much but it cut into my lip... I think the day hurt me the most is the day I take it off...
@@campkira true, the worst pain I had in my whole life was when they take my braces off... it was horrible

IS THAT HURT?!!
I regret braces.. my teeth were messed up but perfectly fine without cavities.
Doc said i wouldn't be able to clean them properly which may lead to cavity but honey .. i had sudden cavities which i didnt knew existed .. my teeth became super sensitive now also hurts whenever i bite hard or drink /eat sweet..
Sensitive to cold and hot as well
People used to praise my smile before, now nobody really does.. i feel its cute now but not worth the pain i went and my teeth which are being attacked for cavities
What'd your age when getting braces and have your teeth extracted for braces if yes how does it impacted your jawline , cheeks .does the skin loosen and double chin issues? Are you still wearing retainer? .I have overbjte can I get braces at age 30??? And my dream is to become singer which needs the help of jaw and proper breathing through mouth to sing high notes
@@susmithathirunagari9104 i was around 14 y/o . My doc urged my mom to treat it as soon as possible at an early age. But the ortho doctor did treat older people too. I had 2 upper premolars removed. None for the lower but i had a bit problem with lower for space, somehow managed. Jawline did change, it widened , my face is more round now, not sure about the skin but i do have double chin issues, i cant tell if its because of sudden weight gain after that or the braces. Your question makes me wonder if its because of that. I am not wearing any retainers now but i suggest getting permanent retainers i didnt get them for the lower set and had a tooth move from its place. One thing positive, my pronounciation got better, before i couldn't pronounce words properly because of my teeth but now its much better. You should consult a proper orthodentist for your doubt, i believe they can help. I had braces for 4 years so idk if i can blame that for my singing as well cuz i went through puberty too 🤧 my voice didnt change much but i cant hit lower notes like before or maybe its because of consecutive cold 🤧
When I got braces, the dentist said that I'd be able to remove them after a year. That was 3 years ago and I still have them.
Dentists are the most unpredictable creatures I have ever come across.
Do visit the Orthotropics youtube channel
I have mine for 8 years now but it's cool i don't pay anyway

Got mine 2 days ago, and this popped up
getting mine tomorrow, holy shit
I got mine today
Getting mine after 6 days *_Fuq_*
@@arex6240 be prepared for torture and eat stuff while you still can
What the dentists don't say is that moving teeth a significant amount can result in the jawbone reabsorbing the root of the tooth, which will mean you'll need an implant.
Totally worth it. I had too many teeth and a terrible overbite. Initially had 10 teeth pulled in 2 days when 10 years old to prep for braces. Wore the old bands that went completely around the tooth (tin grin) Had them on for 3 1/2 years. Without them I would have gone through life looking like a shark.
I'm getting these suckers removed for good next week! Finally! :D
Edit: Finally! They're finally off! I never need to see those things again!
Getting mine removed in 2 months, i cant waittt
I still have like a year left
I'm getting mine in 2 weeks.... -great-
Congrats bro you made it
@@klutxhy2745 i still have a year and a half left ;-;
Who else is in immense pain because they recently got their braces tightened🤪
Got mine tightened today 😜
i got mine tightened yesterday for the first ever time and i could eat properly straight after and i’ve not had any pain at all
I am
kitty I didn’t get them tightened but they do hurt
Got them off, feels nice to have them off
10 months ago and still no that much pain , so excited for the result
Never ever lose your retainer. Thats the only advice I can give after you get your braces done
Just got braces three days ago and I am trying to convince myself through these videos that change will happen and I need to be patient. Well at least the pain and soreness is gone
If ur experiencing pain or soreness that means it works
From experience, I usually experience pain after 2-6 days after adjusting them, then it stops hurting. I'm now on my retainers glued behind my teeth (since I'm forgetful af). My bottom left canine used to be about 45° turned to the right ever since I was a child. After the braces they are 10x better and straighted as they could be, plus I don't get over bite pain as much : )
Also, this is random but... I'm starting to get back to chewing on bones, since according to my dentist as long as the retainers are alright, it's fine to chew hard food. I missed doing that when I got braces : (
At first it seems like a dreadful experience, but eventually time will pass faster than you think. (Though I will admit I never missed having braces, some tough times lol)
@@chandremckenzie i got my upper row first so then the pain stayed for about 7-8 days. The pain started about a 6 and then decreased. Your teeth will ache only if you eat something hard and usually there will be a slight discomfort and not exactly an ache. Also there will swelling on the gums and on your inner lips. I had ulcers as well on that first week and later on the third week as my teeth started moving around. So that adds a bit to the pain too.
I got braces on my lower row this February and this time the pain was really less as I was used to the discomfort.
My suggestion would be to eat soft food as long as the discomfort stays, dont eat sandwiches and such things that need a strong bite. Also if the teeth and inner lips are giving you discomfort, keep on drinking lukewarm water, your mouth will not feel dry and the warmth will help with the pain slightly. Keep in drinking water, or your mouth with get dry and that ulcers are prone to happen more. Good luck!!
It will, after 5 years of intense treatment I can confirm it will
"The orthodontist doesn't take out a drill and break your jawbone themselves" although that would probably be less painful and definitely faster and better for everyone
I don't think it works like that, it would be quite invasive and would require stitches which increases the chances of scarring and damage. Better to do it slowly so nothing major gets damaged.
@@sweetberry9816 what you said was a disrespectful to the dentists.. braces are an amazing thing wich can bring healthy and confidente, glory to the braces
@@sweetberry9816 dumb and bad take
they do... but they lead.. that body do it job since we need it to eat...
@@sweetberry9816 dude, using a drill would still also do more damage and requires skill if you don't want your gums or mouth ruined, and it can cause serious damage to your mouth as a whole, and what dentists are doing now still requires a lot of skill just by putting on braces, and laughing gass will probably be required more often if we'd use drills, that stuff costs a hundred dollars for an hour. Plus, you can't really blame a dentist for getting paid for their jobs, and their jobs are almost like a surgeon's, they're operating with people's body parts, one tiny mistake can be a filed lawsuit, and they're exposed to random people who possibly carry some sort of airborne or direct contact diseases, and it's easier for them to have amalgamate exposure.
I had braces for a few years. Yeah, it's sometimes painful, but not so bad and totally worth it
Although I never had to wear braces I've noticed a detail that has been left out. After a person gets their braces off they have to wear a retainer for about the same amount of time. It's so the teeth won't go back to their original position.
You know what i hate? When Im getting my braces tightened and i see those pamphlets in the room with people with amazing smiles... while im over here looking like a brace face 😐
Bruh saMe😔
And no my face is not the kinda face that looks cute with braces
@@leah8894 Idk you're beautiful either way ❤️
You'll be having a great smile whether you got braces or not. You're beautiful no matter what ❤️

The tightening pain is similar to getting punched in the jaw every hour. Lasts for days. I couldn't eat or drink so naturally I lost 30 lbs within two months. Was underweight until they were removed. I had the worst case of crooked teeth according to three dentists and my current orthodontist. I had braces in for 3 1/2 years and had to have 8 teeth removed beforehand.
I considered getting braces but bailed out when the dentist said I'd most likely need to get 6 to 8 teeth extracted and have the braces > 2 yrs. It's purely for aesthetics, i have no bite issue. I was like "wtf, I don't want to suffer that much just to be _slightly_ less unattractive"... 😅
I’m having the treatment now and I’ve just begun to realize it’s like I’m dealing with stages of pain for each procedure. The first painful part was the spacers on the molars, then the metal bands placed around them to expand the palate. Next was teeth extraction. They all hurt like hell and I haven’t even had the wires put on, yet because I have to get two more teeth extracted, and I’m absolutely dreading it. No joke, the pain is elevated each time compared to the last and this is coming from someone with a high pain tolerance😂
Oh jeez, don’t be so dramatic. Tightening is sore initially but it doesn’t last for days. 🙄
@@kconrad5893 For YOU. For some people it does last days, usually for me it took a week for the pain of tightening to go away enough for me to eat normally again.
@@nightapplepoisonapple7149 how does that happen? How do you get Tuberculosis from braces? 🤔
Wore braces for two years when I got them off the pain was over but my teeth were still very well taken care of, no damage.
I always thought braces just pull our teeth in line. Never thought that it actually rebuild the jaw bone!

Iris Guinto Getting mine off soon too 🙏🏻😍
not really. I've had mine for two years and when they came off i felt like my teeth were naked lol. I also felt like my teeth were huge even though they were the same regular size.
You won't believe I've had braces for nearly 3 years and yet I'm ugly.
Totally side note, but you are so pretty!
retainers: *oh hello there!*
I wore braces in middle school, 1995-1997. I got a headgear about three months in, and I feel like that did all of the heavy lifting. I could really feel the pull on my teeth when I first put that thing on with fresh elastic bands. After the braces came off in 1997 I wore a retainer through most of 1998, possibly early 1999.
I've had 4 wisdom teeth pulled. It's nothing compared to the pain of braces. The fact that my orthodontist had to tighten them each month and add additional power chains... I've had many mental breakdowns, so glad it's all over.
btw did you extracted them in separate days with local anesthesia or extracted all four of them at once with iv sedation or general anesthesia.
"They come off for good and you can enjoy your new smile."

10 YEARS WEARING IT
Having braces for more then 5 years i can tell you that, one gets used to the constant pain even with the rubber bans cause you can feel it tenses everything the moment you have to start using them; it's even more obvious by the fact that the next morning is a pain... even to eat pasta.
I am wearing them right now and it was only painful for the first few days after putting them on. I went for my first monthly tightening and the pressure is minimal this time, I can pretty much eat normally. And I have veeery low pain tolerance (to the point of going to the er for ailments that cause ‘moderate’ pain). So… I think some people complaining might be waaaaaay too sensitive.
Also, there are dangers to any medical treatment. Braces are purely elective and you sign a form accepting potential side effects.
Lol it just hurts for 3 days and then you feel nothing.. :)
*edit : it really depends about you sometimes it can take two days for the pain to go or even a month.
Splax 75 thank you.

Nate Becias your teeth has minor problems? Correct?
@@BmorePatriot They weren't terrible but I wouldn't say minor. They actually said I'd probably have them for about 18 months, maybe more when I had them put on, but then 4 months later they said they were ready to come off, and that it was in incredible how quickly it worked.
Esther Ng same got them summer before 6th grade and I’m an 8th grader now
I’ve used braces twice now (first ones, my dentist did a terrible job, so I had to comeback years later for new ones) and I never suffered with them, no pain AT ALL for me. I just disliked how they looked, but oh god, they change your smile so much for the better. Worth it!
Had it for 4 years, cant say I didnt miss it once it was removed..best decision getting it..now I have corrected bite & aligned teeth
Younger me- I want braces so bad 😭😭😭
