from school
and take her to an orthodontist
consultation she's already had
phase one braces and she is due for
phase

us and see what they say
and if she is ready or not hello
everybody
it's kayla and i am in the car
and tyler's not here because my mom
just took me out of school because i'm
getting
braces gotta be ready for braces they
gotta check your mouth and make sure
that you
can even get them well last time they
said that i
had to get braces soon so i'm pretty
sure they're gonna say i need braces
so below do you think she's gonna get
braces
i'm gonna get braces okay um and
basically the whole reason why we're
here is it was gonna happen at some
point
but like the reason why it's happening
now and not later is because i lost my
retainer
and so that's like my mom's just like
okay well you have to get braces anyways
so we'll just
set you up an appointment and then if we
find your retainer then that's great and
if we don't then you're gonna get braces
so i'm getting braces all right so
they're going to take
kayla back here to do some x-rays and
photos
mommy can sit there okay like you can
stand right here because that's going to
be your backdrop for
the photo so let me go get the camera
okay it's a photo shoot
yes i took one bottle class and i i
failed it
you did not fit it it wasn't like a gray
but i didn't like it
like it was like runway walks and they
were like i just did the pose that they
used for examples
so i just like they're like this one
like
i've had cheerleading at the time with
the pom-poms so i pretended like i was
chewing this like
i like failed everyone was like
so can you hold this for me cause i'm
gonna put them hold it with this hand
okay yeah cuz i'm gonna go get a mirror

put it in your mouth to get the arch
one more time okay there we go
breathe
look at that mirror see how they see
that
yeah i'm gonna lower this to your height
all right stay right there back up from
the lower
perfect i'm going to lower you just a
little tab so you're not stretching
good because we want your neck to kind
of come down
good so we have these little handlebars
right here

tongue on the roof of your mouth

good job happy birthday how
sweet what a loving dentist office
celebrating for your birthday that's so
nice thank you
very cool yay
so for those of you who have not um
seen us come here this is the village
dentist and
they are located in st augustine the
village dentist
and they have been they have been
wonderful with kayla haven't they
they gave me balloons yes and they
helped you get over fears that you had
and everything yeah hi morning how are
you
good
are you the orthodontist yes ma'am wow
we lick it so these are x-rays
or these are the pictures of her tea
and her canines were sticking out that's
what the x-rays look like
okay uh since we have the x-ray up
this is a impacted tooth we call it okay
yes
so does that create pain eventually
problems
if you don't okay and this is also
impacted
all right you said you were having some
aches back there
occasionally why are you excited kayla
i don't know she must have fixed her
teeth
yeah she wants them to be straight she
said she liked the way they looked when
she had them on okay
and here so
the treatment uh is gonna be one year
in braces okay upper angle one year
kayla that's it
sounds good nice to meet you you too
thank you so much any more questions for
me
thank you dr gabby
nice to meet you all right okay so i'm
just gonna cover a couple things
with you okay this is mainly for you
because you are in there are we
gonna be the one wearing the braces what
is your name my name is jen hi jen
nice to meet you nice to meet you guys
okay so the first step we do is take
impressions of your teeth
and what that entails is we take molds
of your teeth and that
way we can know what your teeth are like
before we get started
okay again it doesn't hurt it's very
very easy okay
the second step is actually placing the
braces on your teeth now that also is
very very simple
what the orthodontic technician does is
she isolates your teeth
and she gets your teeth ready for the
braces which means that she cleans the
surface of your tooth
she rinses it she dries it real well and
then she places a bracket on your tooth
it's just like placing stickers on your
hand have you put a sticker on your hand
before
okay so what do you do you make sure
that your hands real clean right then
you gotta dry it
real real well right and you put the
sticker on well these brackets are
actually like stickers
through your teeth okay now the hardest
part of having the braces is actually
getting used to them being on your teeth
that takes about two weeks okay again
you just got to make sure that you um
you just get used to them
and then you got to make sure that you
are careful with what you eat
okay you can have ice cream you can
macaroni and cheese and you can have
pizza we told our patients they couldn't
have those things you guys would run out
the door
okay you can't have pizza you just gotta
be careful for the crust
you can't have the crust and the
orthodontic technician will give you a
food list to go by
just you just gotta be careful what you
eat um as far as hard sugar sticking
okay move along quickly on my end we can
possibly starting it today
okay well that would be awesome can you
believe if you get braces today
these are going to hold you open and dry
for me
like that all right so you're going to
be like this
the whole time okay so other than that
i'm going to take all
a couple of different liquids paint them
all over your teeth i'm gonna rinse them
out
dry a lot of air and mortar and then
we'll place the brackets on dr barry
will come over
and then he'll move him around and place
them where he wants them to be placed
and then we'll use this light
to make everything the glue stick okay
super super easy okay how long does it
normally take
um for the to do braces for top and
bottom
about 40 minutes but we're only doing
the
upper today so it should be about 25
minutes or so
okay very very easy just the efforts
today huh
she's gonna come back uh in about a
couple weeks
and then we'll put the lowers on okay
okay
let's get started
so now they got all the brackets on and
they're getting ready to put the wire on
all right and the rubber bands what
color
the letter choose and assistant you can
choose right now
i don't know what colors they have all
of these do we need to have the glasses
on now
no choose them can the
dffc the real kayla davis oh my gosh
look at those things i want to see
oh my gosh i look so weird i look like i
had a ton of cavities
those glasses left a little impression
that'll go away in a minute
i have to figure out which colors what
colors
what colors would you guys pick
comment below what your favorite color
is hmm maybe i should do zone colors
that'd be cool i kind of like this color
i do too should i do that blue it'll
match your shoes too
what other colors should i just do that
color or other colors is that the zone
color or is that the same
this is the zone color so i could do
this with this and this one
this would be her cheer color
but then i'd have black and white too on
my teeth
i don't think you want black yeah that's
part of this
don't the white bands turn yellow don't
do white kind of like these two
the bright green and the teal green
what's the most popular one
okay yeah teal yeah that's the cool one
i like the bright green and the teal do
they try to mix them
yeah you should get to or the bright
pink
oh that's right pink and teal that
sounds cool
do that bright pink and teal
all right okay
okay
nothing should hurt okay
a lot straighter i remember that the
wire being jaggedy the first
couple weeks and then they move a lot
okay so now
this is yours i'm going to go over some
home care instructions
okay so you're going to take care of
these braces as you would
but brushing you want to focus
on getting under the bracket
and on top of the bracket because that's
where the plaque is going to cake up
the most okay so you're going to go in a
circular motion
like that okay
it's so much difficult doing it on a
pull it through one side
through all the way and take it off the
threader
then you'll be able to wrap it around
your fingers and
floss like not so each tooth you're
gonna have to re-thread
and re-loop it through okay i gave you
some wax
this is gonna help with that if it's
poking you
maybe if you have a bracket in the front
that's rubbing you the wrong way
and it might get raw in that area what
this will do will protect that area from
getting irritated
but i want to let you know because i
have braces try not to get too dependent
on this stuff
because you'll want it all the time
over time your mouth will adjust to
having the braces in your mouth
the tissues will token up but if that
ever does happen
you can also use warm salt water and
since that's what i use
gargle like the first couple of days and
it should go away
but if it doesn't use this and to call
us and let us know so we can come and
take a look at it okay
all right so there's the uppers blowers
will be in a couple weeks
yeah like it's weird for me like usually
i might saw this
my lip keeps getting stuck up on the
braces when i smile
you guys did really good we're impressed
thank you
thank you so much all right girl you
ready for some lunch
yeah okay let's go eat so uh we are in
the car
and this is going to be the end of the
video
since we've already vlogged a lot so i
want you guys to comment down below
hmm what colors would you choose for
your braces
comment down below we love to hear what
you have to say
and until next time bye
you
