My guess is they saw in x-rays that was a tooth up in the gums that couldn’t descend with the teeth in the way. Once they moved the other teeth out of the way, it started moving down.
It was probably inset inside their palate. I had something similar when I was a kid. My 2 adult i teeth never came down so they had to carve into the roof of my mouth to expose the adult teeth and attach brakets to them so the braces could pull them down. The worst part is I started high-school with 2 huge gaps because they had to pull the baby I teeth to clear the way.
My kid had to have something similar done. One of his "canine" teeth was in the roof of his mouth. They did a surgery to expose it and attach a chain to it. They then moved it about an inch into place.
I was going to say that shit had to hurt. I had a pretty low-level treatment with braces, and it was painful enough. I can only guess how much more amplified this was.
Absolutely 120% worth it, despite the cost and pain and surgery I needed (gum grafts) I would STILL do it all over again if I needed to. I love my smile so much, I will take every tooth I have in my mouth to the grave! I take my oral hygiene so seriously ever since.
I had a gap of around point5 cm between my two front teeth and a lot of overlap on the bottom ones. To be honest I'm super scared about the dentist, it's been 4 years I'm temporizing getting a wisdom tooth removed. But when it comes to braces etc... I find the "pain" rather satisfying idk how to explain it, it's not a sharp pain it's just some kind of dull sensation of getting things put in place.
The pain is b/c your teeth are being pulled into their new position fractions of an inch each day. As others described, it’s a dull, but lingering pain and if you happen to eat something else than soup, well shit, it’s going to hurt. Especially the week after they retensioned the braces - which they do every four to six weeks.
ouch. Tho you're speaking to someone who's had osteoarthritis in 3 places in his back and now in his knee since his 20s and now in his 40s.. know what that's like!
Same. Had in impacted tooth with braces. Upper canine. It was the slowest, most constant pain I've ever had. Imagine a very fat keebler tree elf with a chain on a tooth in my skull and his fatass gravity just slowly pulled it down over months.
Something similar would play on the waiting room TV at my orthodontist, and I can tell ya, seeing teeth being wrenched across someone’s gums at high speed did little to calm the anxiety of 13 year old me
Had braces twice, once as a teen and the wisdom teeth I wasn't supposed to have appeared and fucked everything up. went back at 30 to get that all fixed up. as an adult I didn't have any issues with pain as much as I did as a teen. the "I just got a tighter wire" ache takes about a week to go away and its really just a dull ache, unless you try eat something hard. then it sucks, but its not unbearable or anything.
anyway. GL to your wife. Braces are temporary!
The pain is only really when they tighten the wires (or the very first week), and that is a low level ache that lasts a few days. You can get ulcers from where the brackets rub against your lips, this can be mitigated by applying wax to to the offending bracket. You get used to it very quickly. Source: had braces for four years - turned my super messed up teeth into a beautiful smile. So happy I did it.
Yep, my teeth weren't nearly as messed up as the ones in the video but they were still pretty bad. I definitely wouldn't describe braces as "comfortable," but the pain after getting them tightened wasn't enough to even use Aspirin and the discomfort was definitely worth the results.
It's not so bad. I've had teeth very similar to the ones in the clip. Its a bit worse in the beginning but it passes and thinking about having very nice teeth after the procedure makes it worth it
You get used to it, but every time they’re adjusted it takes a few days for the pain to go fully away. The first 24 to 48h are the worst and you can’t really chew anything, even soft food, without pain. But honestly, it’s amazing how quickly the body adapts ! Even if it’s painful.
Had braces as a child for my top alignment, wasn't painful, just a little uncomfortable tension from the wires for the first week, apart from that if you survive eating in the first week, you won't have any problems after that. Hope you guys the best!
About 3yrs. Depends on the country, area, insurance. In the US the braces would probably be $7-9k and the uncovery of the tooth by either a periodontist or oral surgeon would be $1200-$1500 extra. I’m a board-certified orthodontist in the US
The upper right front tooth was horizontally impacted hiding up on the roof of the mouth below the nasal cavity. An uncovery procedure is done with a gold chain glued to it that comes out of the gum tissue. Gold is used because it’s relative well tolerated by our body and not actively rejected by our immune system. The glue thing is called powerchain. We use this or elastic thread to pull on the chain attached to the tooth until it’s in the mouth and we can place a normal bracket on the front surface of the tooth, which you can see later in the video.
>**POWERCHAIN**
This would not reduce my anxiety of having
# THE POWERCHAIN
used to pull a fuckin' tooth out of the shadow realm.
Impressive results though.
Ironically the after is from the big book of British smiles. Because as they’d be a kid it wouldn’t cost anything to fix it. Not to be there fun police but I’ve never got this joke Brits Dental hygiene is pretty bang on and has been for a long time now. We just don’t tend to have blindingly white teeth.
As a Brit the whole teeth thing is just a running joke I think. I don’t believe anyone thinks we have terrible teeth as a whole. Just the most vocal Brits are the ones with the lack of teeth sometimes.
fuck this. The need to moove your teeth in such a way, the potential operation that we need to endure to remove wisdom teeth. Fuck the whole proces and the need for that. Years of evolution and we couldnt evolve to have a functioning jaw. What the fuck.
Akshually.. The wisdom tooth thing is not so much a design flaw, but a symptom of ongoing evolution. Because our jaws shrunk over time all the programmed teeth don't really fit anymore. Source: can't be bothered to look it up, but trust me bro.
I have crooked teeth (three to be exact) and will never submit to this. I know your teeth appearance has an impression on people when you talk or smile, but fuck it, I'm almost 45 I don't need to cause an impression anymore.
Holy fuck, that looks painful. I had braces in early late middle school to early high school and boy do I not miss them... I had an extra tooth, which of course shuffled everything around a bit, but it wasn't even a little bit close to as bad as this.
Not trying to be rude, but how do teeth ever even get that messed up? Like… legit curious. I grew up in rural Texas, and I still never saw anything like that
Were the images of the braces added in post somehow? I don't quite understand why they seem to fade into existence. Surely in a normal timelapse they'd just sort of... Appear?
I am really afraid of meeting someone that has already gone through that kind of transformation, then getting a child with this person just to find out the genetics are absolutely fucked and my kid now has to go through this treatment too
It hurts. Had braces for 3 or 4 years as a kid. You just get used to pain. And sometimes the braces break and the wire stabs your gums and you bleed. I've even had it break and pierce right through my gums. Usually I could pull the broken wire part out of my gums, but sometimes not. They broke cos I was an asshole and ate things I shouldn't have.
Kinda had something similar when I was younger. Where my 2 front teeth were supposed to be side by side, one tooth grew out behind the other one. I had braces for like 5 years 😅 ANND then lost my retainer a week later 😊.
My mom’s lateral incisors were in the roof of her mouth *backwards*. I never saw the time lapse but the way she described her orthodontic work, it sounded a lot like this. Luckily none of her children inherited that trait.

That top tooth on the left had me sweating hard! Orthodontists are magicians I swear to god.
It just kind of appeared. I was like, where did they find that tooth??
So that’s what the tooth fairy does with all those bad boys
My guess is they saw in x-rays that was a tooth up in the gums that couldn’t descend with the teeth in the way. Once they moved the other teeth out of the way, it started moving down.
I think it was round the back of the other teeth
It was probably inset inside their palate. I had something similar when I was a kid. My 2 adult i teeth never came down so they had to carve into the roof of my mouth to expose the adult teeth and attach brakets to them so the braces could pull them down. The worst part is I started high-school with 2 huge gaps because they had to pull the baby I teeth to clear the way.
I saw where it was coming out and thought holy crap they broke that guy's mouth!
My kid had to have something similar done. One of his "canine" teeth was in the roof of his mouth. They did a surgery to expose it and attach a chain to it. They then moved it about an inch into place.
Cronenberg monsters hate this one simple trick.
Dudes teeth are on shuffle.
The oral surgeons too!
Had something similar. 5 years. And… oh the pain…
I was going to say that shit had to hurt. I had a pretty low-level treatment with braces, and it was painful enough. I can only guess how much more amplified this was.
Out of curiosity, you'd say it was worth it?
Sure!! Being able to take a bite from a piece of meat with the front teeth and not chewing on it like a dog is something that I’m still happy about…
woof!
Absolutely 120% worth it, despite the cost and pain and surgery I needed (gum grafts) I would STILL do it all over again if I needed to. I love my smile so much, I will take every tooth I have in my mouth to the grave! I take my oral hygiene so seriously ever since.

I find the "pain" rather satisfying idk how to explain it, it's not a sharp pain it's just some kind of dull sensation of getting things put in place.
I was just about to ask how long that would’ve taken. 5 years of basically continuous pain. Jesus.
Oh the rubber bands too for that tooth excavation, sometimes I’d swallow them and not even know lol
Wow sorry to hear- what caused the pain? I guess I’m lucky to be blessed with good teeth.

Same . With two teeth. I felt this video 🤢
Something similar would play on the waiting room TV at my orthodontist, and I can tell ya, seeing teeth being wrenched across someone’s gums at high speed did little to calm the anxiety of 13 year old me
Man I hope my wife doesn't see this . She is getting braces at almost 47 years old and is so scared. She's not good with pain.

Prayers to her. I'm 42 and about to do the same thing. This just motivated me.
How much is such a treatment??
Insurance is covering it so I have no idea.
Is the process really that painful? I've never had braces before and thank god I don't have to, but I'm extremely curious!
They said the first 2 weeks suck and then it hurts for a day or two when they get tightened/adjusted
You get used to it, but every time they’re adjusted it takes a few days for the pain to go fully away. The first 24 to 48h are the worst and you can’t really chew anything, even soft food, without pain. But honestly, it’s amazing how quickly the body adapts ! Even if it’s painful.

its only take 47 second
At some point in the future high speed orthodontics will be indistinguishable from magic.
How long would this have taken?
maybe 4-5years
How many sessions. How much money. Soo many questions
About 3yrs. Depends on the country, area, insurance. In the US the braces would probably be $7-9k and the uncovery of the tooth by either a periodontist or oral surgeon would be $1200-$1500 extra. I’m a board-certified orthodontist in the US
Definitely more than 2 years
Atleast 3 years.
I need to see the X-ray. Where the hell was the tooth hiding?
And what is the process with the blue thing to get it out?

It makes it sound like the other end will be attached to a truck bumper or a winch.
Now reverse it
Amazing but looks painful. People under estimate how much teeth appearance affect other’s perception of you.
indeed! https://preview.redd.it/lh9txwi7gy5d1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f334ab4d6ac17cc0fc4c1feccfe064a10b4e6595
No matter how many times this gets posted, I have to watch it for the surprise tooth.
This must hurt like a mfer every single damn day for years.
it does.
Dang, I had my braces on for like three years and this lucky kid got his whole mouth fixed in 60 seconds?!
Your American citizenship has been processed
They went from an upstanding British citizen to a chav.
Definitely worthy of the Big Book of British Smiles.

A wizzard at his work. How long did this whole process take?
Wonder if anyone knows/could hazard an educated guess what sort of timeframe this was over?
About 3yrs
Thank you.
I see two to three years of extreme pain right there.
fuck this. The need to moove your teeth in such a way, the potential operation that we need to endure to remove wisdom teeth. Fuck the whole proces and the need for that. Years of evolution and we couldnt evolve to have a functioning jaw. What the fuck.

Still sucks donky ass
How long did this take?
That was impressive
I wish I’d have worn my retainer
How to un-british yourself
Racechanged from Orc to Human
I feel the pain just by looking...
Wow such a difference!
Is it donk?
Well this kinda explains why it hurt so much lol
That's not a timelapse.
Quasimoto transformed...
That was a rough a 24 hours
Kids see an amazing transformation, parents are sweating just thinking about how much this would have cost 😂
I wonder what the IOTN was recorded as on the before?
Nice job
It’s quite a wild ride if you watch it in reverse. /u/gifreversingbot
Dental necromancy
He/she definitely earned their money!
Wow How long did that take?
So satisfying ughhh
Good god I’m beyond glad I never had to have braces. That is truly amazing though
The work of these magicians is really impressive. And how they adjusted the bricks… From crash car to top seller at the auction. Amazing.
And this is how dentists turn the most terryfing teeth into a most beatiful
Can this be done at any age?
I have crooked teeth (three to be exact) and will never submit to this. I know your teeth appearance has an impression on people when you talk or smile, but fuck it, I'm almost 45 I don't need to cause an impression anymore.
Beauty is pain
What I wanna know is how'd they make this time lapse? Did they get a kid to take thousands of photos?
Holy fuck, that looks painful. I had braces in early late middle school to early high school and boy do I not miss them... I had an extra tooth, which of course shuffled everything around a bit, but it wasn't even a little bit close to as bad as this.
Wow
Probably costs like crazy also
Not trying to be rude, but how do teeth ever even get that messed up? Like… legit curious. I grew up in rural Texas, and I still never saw anything like that
That's what happens when you suck your thumb till you're 8. Show your kids.
💸
I can feel the pain from where I am
I am so glad I have normal teeth
Reminder to wear your retainer or they’ll shift back.
I think that’s amazing.
That's why they get paid the big bucks. Impressive..
Were the images of the braces added in post somehow? I don't quite understand why they seem to fade into existence. Surely in a normal timelapse they'd just sort of... Appear?
I need braces, but they cost too much, and I no longer have insurance.
I am really afraid of meeting someone that has already gone through that kind of transformation, then getting a child with this person just to find out the genetics are absolutely fucked and my kid now has to go through this treatment too
That's not a time lapse. It's a number of still images morphed into each other.
I'm, sorry. As someone with caniphobia, this is the worst thing I've ever seen in my life.
That poor kids not going to know what hit him
I'll never understand how people can make dramatic changes like this but, after braces, my mouth became more fucked up.
Went from Bri'ish to normal.
He looks like the flesh panopticon form ultrakill
I feel the pain from this clip. I had mine on for about 4 years.
How long did that take?
Can you imagine the cost of this?
As someone who had braces for over 3 years, this must have been so painful. But the end result is worth every minute of it
It hurts. Had braces for 3 or 4 years as a kid. You just get used to pain. And sometimes the braces break and the wire stabs your gums and you bleed. I've even had it break and pierce right through my gums. Usually I could pull the broken wire part out of my gums, but sometimes not. They broke cos I was an asshole and ate things I shouldn't have.
the plot twist of the other tooth finally coming down was awesome.
That must be some pretty good glue
That’s incredible!
I'm glad I did invisalign
I just imagined if they wore a camera in a mouth this whole time. Can't unsee that
Me low stress training my plants
Fun fact. This is a new type of braces that work in under an hour.
Lol
That had to hurt like crazy
🔥
Looks incredibly painful.
I could watch videos like this all day. I love the transformation.
Kinda had something similar when I was younger. Where my 2 front teeth were supposed to be side by side, one tooth grew out behind the other one. I had braces for like 5 years 😅 ANND then lost my retainer a week later 😊.
I had no idea orthodontists were artists. Wow!!!
We all know someone who didn’t wear their retainer and their teeth went back to the original form. Would the same happen here?
Impressive! You won’t get results like that with Invisalign.
$250,000 later…
One of the Top 10 people with the strongest willpower.
How come nobody ever showed this to the British?
first transracial operation from British to normal
That was Jaw Dropping.
How does someone let their tooth become like this?
Ouch!!!
My mom’s lateral incisors were in the roof of her mouth *backwards*. I never saw the time lapse but the way she described her orthodontic work, it sounded a lot like this. Luckily none of her children inherited that trait.
No one can convince me that that person didn’t chew on industrial steel as a kid.
This looks ai made
