Great Video! Thank You !

Heh, the Rubber Band Challenge video was marked by YouTube as "age restricted." Wouldn't want those kids doing it, I guess!  :

probably depend how you put it... but if you put all in the same direction, its's probably can accelerate the treatment
when you have removable brace, it's the same on the morning, your mouth is sore too....

Yes, she could open her mouth -- barely!  ;D

She also said her mouth was sore for a few minutes after she took all the elastics out, too. (Except the ones she's actually required to wear.)

20 ! great !
can she still open the mouth with that ?
perhaps it's a good solution to have silence during a football match with friends

At age 50 I had braces put on for the second my highlights of both experiences were having to wear a headgear 20+ hours a day during first treatment I was one my orthodontist's full band patients that was awesome for 3.5 years. My second treatment I had to wear a tongue with my headgear that was awesome. The only lowlight was when my braces were removed.

Glad you like them, ortho218!

And yes, she is one of the most honest (and least self-conscious) women I've ever met.

love the videos, Carrie is refreshingly honest

Glad you fellows are enjoying the videos! She got up to 20 elastics before it became too much.

On another not-totally-treatment-related note, I thought this was a funny picture: https://www.flickr.com/photos/mikeinreallife/40224770371/in/dateposted/. Snapchat filters are sometimes hilarious! And you can also detect our friend's Invisalign, too, if you look closely.

Habe da gleich 3 vorschläge

Hi,

great !!
How many elastics ? world records ?

see you

nice videos on the Q&A - thanks again for doing this and your posts!

Admittedly unrelated to treatment, Carrie decided (with some prodding) to do the YouTube "rubber band challenge."

Results here: https://youtu.be/3q925RIzLf0. Enjoy, I guess? 

pink...
and blue for headgear strap, for sure

I wanted hg too but my bands don’t have the tubes. I would have ordered a set if so. I will order a facemask though

I'm going for a consultation on Monday so will find out what's advised! I went for one 7 years ago and was told that only metal braces would work, wish I hadn't chickened out! These days things have come a long way...

be brave! haha I guess you only get one shot

I'd want something faily minimal for myself like regular braces but I  would also want to know what it's like to wear headgear or a Herbst....just not permanently!

I wonder how many people who have treatment actually end up missing it when it's finished

Is that you?  If braces would look sexy on you

My pleasure! I'm happy to share them, and Carrie and I are both glad you enjoy them. Stay tuned for another adjustment video, too. Her next ortho appointment is February 20th, and I'll have a new video up shortly afterward.

thank You for Your photos and Videos - I like them , they are GREAT !
