DENTAL BRACES | Things You Need To Know Before Getting Braces / Do's & Don'ts / Tips & Tricks
If you're someone who is thinking about getting Braces, or maybe even a parent who is wondering what to expect when your child is advised to get Braces, or even if you're curious to know what to know to expect from your Conventional Braces ( Metal or Ceramic ) then do watch this video till the end.
In this video, I've tried to throw some light on common issues that my patients have faced while their Braces/Orthodontic treatment was on and also answered some FAQ's like
1) What and What Not to eat?
2) How to prevent your brackets from breaking?
3) How to Brush with Braces on and avoid cavities?
4) What are Retainers?
and a lot more...
Also, I've shared some of my Tips & Tricks as well as Do's and Don'ts. Feel free to ask your questions in comments section below, and I will be happy to answer them.

What do I use to shoot my videos?
I use a basic ring light which I purchased from Amazon. It helps me shoot in low light conditions and comes with a decent tripod stand Link - amzn.to/3tAJmca

For the camera, I just use my OnePlus 6 & I use iMovie to edit my videos.

Hi , Jo bhi braces lagvane vale hai mai unko batana chahungi ki... Bohot log kehte hai ki it hurts alot, we can't take the pain of braces, to mai batana chahungi ki guys aisa kuch nahi hoga it doesn't hurt alot. It hurts but not that of much pain. Tightening ke bad dard hota hai thoda or starting mai jab hum lagvate hai tab hota hai kyuki hame adat nahi hoti braces ki muh mai alag feel hota hai.... In my experience jab vo spacers(rubber bands putting in our molar teeths to create a space for molar bands) lagate hai tab hi muze jyada dard hua tha khana bhi khane nahi aata but vo 7,8 din hi hota hai... Par overall dard nahi hota trust me...In my experience muze to nahi hua, kuch dino ke bad to feel bhi nahi hota ki hamne braces lagaye hai. Khane ke bare mai batau to I can eat everything but just don't put lot of pressure while bitting baki aap sabkuch kha sakte ho hard food chodkar mai to panipuri bhi khati hu😋😅. Normal hota hai braces itna kuch nahi hai, muze bhi dar laga tha starting mai ki mai kaise dikhu gi,bahar kaise jaaungi,log kaise dekhenge muze, bura dikhega face don't worry about all this shit itna kuch nahi hota hum use to ho jate hai.itne gande bhi nahi dikhte braces so don't worry😊.Or vo jo alsar ho jate hai na jab vo wax dete hai doctors ya fir khud lena padta hai to usse dard nahi hota jyada. At the end of the day braces are worth it, hame acchi smile mil jayegi itne dino se jo hum uncomfortable hote hai vo chala jayega✨,mai to photo bhi nahi nikalti thi... Muze bohot uncomfortable hota tha dat dikhane mai kyuki mere dat bahar the thode jyada nahi par nahi aati thi acchi photo to mai nahi nikalti thi,par ab nikalungi😌. Ye sabke aage kuch dino ka pain kuch bhi nahi hai seh lenge thoda. Muze lagaye huye 5 and half moths huye hai kuch mahine Or.... I just want to tell you don't think about pain just go for it. Extraction ke time hota hoga pain mera nahi hua hai extraction. Jo bhi lena chahte hai treatment or dard ki vajah se nahi le rahe ya kaise dikhega uski vajah se nahi le rahe to I just want to tell them le lo bhai😅 itna mat socho. All the best❤✨👍
