ACTION: In a few moments you are going to meet Corey and his mom Kim walking down Remsen street to my office. Together WE are going to show you as it is actually happening how orthodontists everywhere in the world go about diagnosing and treatment planning and then placing braces on their patient's teeth. We are sure that what your learn here today will lessen any fears about having braces put on. So then let us begin: quiet on the set...action
Sometimes you do a film and it suggests a "Sequel". On the other hand a film can also suggest you make a "'Prequel" as in the case of this new film we are about to embark on starring Corey Bell. Casting was the first problem. When I first met Corey he was reluctant. However his mom Annette (aka Kim) would not accept ''not me" as an answer from her son Corey. I had treated his aunt Mitzie who also had a delightful stage personna...indeed she was "tres sympa".
The next problem was to find a camera person (see note below to my fellow producers at BCAT). The problem was solved when Annette wrote back the letter below. and I responded to her:
"We will supply the camera
person. It has to be done on Fridays not Saturdays."

Dear Carlos and Lyra:Re: Dr. Ted Presents:©An educational/ health documentary: How modern braces are placed on the teeth. (A prequel to "Removing braces" showing on YouTube at present.)
Technological advances have revolutionized the field of modern orthodontic treatment. 3m-Unitek's SmartClip braces incorporates just about every one those advances. I would like to show the process in real time of placing braces on a congenial young fellow named Corey Bell.Would like to shoot a film at my office regarding the preparation (molds and X-rays) and placing braces on Corey Bell's teeth? I submitted an application for a Special last night.Filming would be done on a Friday or Saturday.Maybe you can recommend interns or even better a producer interested in filming this episode.Maybe you can advise/suggest the best way to proceed to go about getting someone.If you know of person interested in my project please have them contact me. Cordially, TedReal time:Interview patient: 10 minutesMaking molds... 15 minutes: in the records roomTaking and X-ray 10 minutes: : in the records roomDiagnose the molds of the teeth: 5 minutes. Treatment roomDiagnose the X-ray: 5 minutes. Treatment room.Initial reshaping of edges of patient's front teeth: Treatment room chairBonding the brackets on patient's teeth..20 minutes: Treatment room chairAttaching the wires:... 1 minuteCordially, Dr. TedFriday 28: blocking out the script with the associate producer/"vidiographer" and Corey (the "talent")
SPECIAL NOTE: After checking the specifications required by BCAT for broadcasting film I learned that BCAT does not accept the VHS and VHS-c film formats. They do accept S-VHS, Beta SP, Mini DV, DV and DV Cam and Hi 8. Consequently, it became necessary to find an alternative to Cory's uncle, who shoots only VHS film (an older generation of film format). The new person selected was Patrick Metivier, a seasoned film maker with a constant presence at BCAT. Today we blocked out the sequence of events we would be shooting on Friday, 6 (placement of lighting, camera-shot angles, and procedures that will be filmed. Corey and his mom signed the talent release forms. The "rehearsal" required we run thru the entire sequence of events. I think of it like playing "phantom" guitar. At this session we decided on the necessary the equipment (camera, lighting equipment, electric cords, mics) to carry out the shoot which BCAT supplies free to certified producers. One must apply at least three days in advance of the shoot. Such equipment is provided only when the producer has been given an air date for his show. The air date for my show is March 21. The equipment is on loan for exactly 24 hours. We intend to pick up the equipment not later than 6:45 pm Thursday evening the 5th. 10 am Friday morning was chosen to begin filming. We expect to be finished by 1pm and return the equipment well before the deadline.Real time:
Chat with C and mom who is welcome to be present when Dr. T. places braces: 5-10 minutesMaking molds... 20-30 minutes: in the records roomDr. Ted will fit the upper tray in C's mouth and perhaps then trim it to make it fit.For the upper impression both T and C are standing.T: mixes a powder and water in a bowel to make a paste and places the paste in a the tray and then places the tray in C's mouth for about one minute and then removes it and examines the impression for accuracy.He then asks C to sit...Fits the upper tray and then mixes a powder and water in a bowel to make a paste and places the paste in a the tray and then places the tray in C's mouth for about one minute and there removes it and examines the impression for accuracy.The Staff person then makes the mold (made of stone) by mixing stone powder and water together to make a paste that he pours in to the upper and lower impressions that he took.It takes about twenty minutes for the paste to harden in to a solid stone mold which the staff member trims on the "model trimmer" to make look presentable.The stone molds are then given to T. who uses them to review his diagnosis and treatment plan and they will be shown as close up.After the molds are taken the two most important x-rays are taken: 1. Panoramic where the patient is positioned standing up in a tall machine and the head of the machine rotates slowly around C's head. The X-ray is then sent thru the automatic developing machine which takes about 5-10 minutes.2. The lateral head X-ray is taken: here the patient sits down and an x-ray of the head is taken.Staff gives Dr. T the molds and both X-rays to confirm his thoughts on the diagnosis and treatment plan he intends to use to correct C's bite problem.Camera will show the molds, and the X-rays which can be seen/viewed on white illuminating screen on the wall opposite the dental chair.T. share out-loud his thoughts regarding the C's molds and X-ray.
As Dr. Ted places the braces camera will see how Dr. T refers back to the Panoramic X-ray to determine the best position to place the bracket on each tooth.Preparation to place the braces ("SmartClip" Clarity)Preparation of the edges of the teeth to make them straight: Dr. Ted use a small rotary disc to make the edges of C's upper front teeth very straight. Patient may experience mild discomfort and is advised to take two Advil an hour before the sanding which takes about 5 minutes. Camera should film this.T. now rubs the teeth he is going to place the braces on with a pink pumice paste applied to an cotton roll and C rinses it off. It cleans the surface of the teeth.The teeth are dried with a warm air drier.T. will place braces on two teeth at a time beginning with the two upper front teeth. A total of 12 braces are placed.As T. places the braces he refers to the panoramic X-ray.Each tooth is painted with a chemical that cleans the tooth and makes its surface sticky.Each bracket come with adhesive already on it (camera can get a close up of the pink adhesive on the back of the bracket.Assistant hands T. one bracket at a time. T places and carefully positions each "bracket" on its appropriate tooth.When T. is satisfied that the bracket on positioned correctly he asks the assistant to "cure" the adhesive with blue light to initiate the setting of the adhesive (10 seconds for each bracket placed). The bracket is now securely "bonded" to the tooth.T. then goes on the paint the next two teeth repeating the process until all 12 upper teeth are done. This takes about 20 minutes,Patient rinses his mouth.T. selects an appropriate wire and presses so that it clips on to the bracket. Audio can pickup the sound of the two clicks for each bracket. Attaching the wire takes less than a minute.Usually the wire is too long and sticks out of the back "tubes. Dr. Ted checks and snips off the excess wire.Instructions are repeated regarding how often and when to brush teeth and eating soft foods so as to avoid detaching braces.While the braces are being placed we can simultaneously play on the monitor the YouTube Video that Dr.T made on "removing braces"Camera can do a short interview of C. and a short interview with Dr.T.Patient gets up and rinses his teeth with ListerineShort interview with Corey following placement of braces.

TRothstein/bcat1st editing session (one day earlier than planned) time 3+ hours (6:30-10):
Capture 1st 60-minute tape #1on to the timeline and begin rough cutting by choosing from the various takes captured: Reached segment where Dr.Ted has finished reshaping Corey's teeth. We have enough footage to make two 28 minute shows
To install introductory pre-footage (black, bars and tones, black and countdown: File/import/Jumpback/.bars and tone/ click 2x/bars and tone countdown). Decided to add a two-minute Dr. Ted introduction to the film. Decided to add some voice over while Brian is taking records using the mini-audioboard in the editing suite. Capturing footage for editing stops at 30 minutes segments.
Session 2: Plan to add Title and generic opening and closing; capture footage on tape 2 and continue rough cutting.
March 10
Continue editing sequence on tape1/2: Began this session by reviewing the tape and deciding what edits needed to be done (one hour). Remove, shorten and refine the clips composing the sequence. Placed transitions effects at edit lines. All supplementary takes removed. At next session will review and and continue refining tape 1 then make copy and remove from hard drive to free up memory for capturing and editing footage from 2nd tape. Progress is ahead of schedule. Hope to place jumpbacks (black, bars and tones, black and countdown (black, bars and tones, black and countdown) and add opening and closing. Planning to add a two-minute opening segment with Dr. Ted introducing the subject/object of the film. Time 3+ hours.March 11
Continue editing tape 1: Following the Ballad of Dr. Ted we added black, bars and tones, black and countdown from the "Jumpbacks" and then added the generic opening of Dr.Ted presents show. This tape included about 6 edited minutes of tape 2: (up to the part where Dr.Ted has finished reshaping Corey's teeth). Having run out of memory in the drive space allotted to this project at BCAT we copied the the contents of the nearly completed tape 1+ to a master tape. (Total minutes about 40). Then we captured the footage on tape 2. Since it contains about 36 minutes of footage the capture stopped at 30mintes (bin 6?) Leaving about 10 more minutes to capture. We have made operational a mini-cam making it easier to create a the two-minute Dr. Ted intro we envisioned just after the Ballad of Dr. Ted and just before the generic opening. Editing time 3hours: Tomorrow we will continue with rough editing tape two.[Thoughts on the two-minute Dr.Ted intro: Dr. Ted is filmed standing in front of the office sign, (see end of the Ballad of Dr.Ted) now wearing the same green sweater and striped shirt with a decidedly different hair style (Julius Caesar). He speaks:
"Hi/hello/good morning/ bonjour: Removing Braces is a film I produced that you can now see on YouTube. It was produced because of the fear and anxiety that patients have when they are about to get their braces removed.
It has become very popular so it was an easy segue to produce this film entitled Putting on Braces for the Dr. Ted Presents show. In just a few moments you are going to meet Corey Bell and his mom Kim coming down Remsen St. to my office.
WE are going to show you as it is actually happening the steps that all orthodontists everywhere in the world go about when preparing for and placing braces on their patient's teeth. Look! here they come now" ..Dr. Ted points and film transitions to Corey and Mom walking down the street.] Total time 45 seconds.
March 12Complete editing tape 2:
Contents of film: Jumpbacks (BCAT logo, black, bars and tones, black and countdown); generic opening for the Dr. Ted Presents: film series; film title (Dr. Ted Presents: Placing braces); one minute introduction (see below) in front of office sign waiting for family to arrive at the office; title page: followed by meeting and greeting family; general discussion in reception room; explanation in treatment room of records to be made; making of the records in the record room; back in the treatment room reporting to family concerning the interpretation of the records; explaining reason for a change in the treatment plan; introducing the SmartClip Braces; preparing the surfaces of the teeth for receiving the brackets; placing and light-curing the 12 brackets; attaching the wire to the brackets; description of patient discomfort during the first week; Thanking patient and parent for their cooperation; and farewell; Generic closing including with B-roll as background for credits. Total time about 65 minutes.[Dr. Ted begins preparation of models showing how patients teeth will be "separated" in preparation for fitting bands/rings on Corey's teeth and making the special upper molds that the lab will receive to make the palate widener]; Part II of Placing Braces will show attaching the palate widener, placing Clarity (SmartClip braces on the 6 upper front teeth and attaching the upper arch wire.
March 13
Begin review of film on timeline and adding title, credits and B-roll. Plan to shoot one minute Dr. Ted introduction in front of office Saturday morningDear Patrick:
In discussing the film with you last night it now seems inevitable that to complete this project we will need to have Corey back to film :Appt. 2: Fitting the 4 rings around his teeth and making the molds to send to the lab to make the palate widener. 30 minutesAppt 3: Sanding the edges of his upper front teeth (this time with an injection of anesthesia to eliminate any discomfort), attaching the palate widener on to his upper teeth and bonding on the six upper front with "Clarity" brackets and placing the first upper arch wire. (one hour and 15 minutes).Thurs: Ted editing tonight 7-10Friday: Patrick and Ted try to get AVID at Ted's house up and going with the sequence we have producedSat. Morning: Shoot 2 minute intro with Ted standing in front of office sign with Patrick's camera OR overnight with BCAT camera. TedDear Kim,
Kim, at least 7 days before the appointment for fitting the rings for the palate widener I will need to place 8 tiny elastics about the size of this O between his back teeth. They function to separate his teeth which allows me to fit the rings correctly. It takes 5 minutes to place them. No discomfort is typical. We do not need to film with Corey present for "placing separators" since we can demonstrate it on a plastic model using Patrick's Mini-cam. Cc: PatrickMarch 13 cont'd
Editing 3 hours; finished editing all captured footage on Avid timeline. Total film time available is 65 minutes. Tomorrow morning we will film Dr. Ted's 45 second introduction to the film.including possible B-roll for use as background while credits are scrolling.
Camera is situated on steps looking up at Dr. Ted standing next to/in front of office sign as Ted speaks camera slowly moves in while Ted says:ACTION: Good morning, buenos dias and Bon jour....."Removing braces" is a film I produced that you can now see on YouTube. I produced that film because of the fear and anxiety that patients have about getting their braces REMOVED. The film has become very popular so it was a logical step to make another film this time about PUTTING BRACES ON.(camera stops rolling: reposition camera to show Ted now sitting on the low sidewalk wall in front of the court yard next to the office sign now facing the direction from which Corey and his mother will be coming.ACTION: In a few moments you are going to meet Corey and his mom KIM walking down Remsen street to my office.

March 14, 2009
Shoot footage as planned for 50 second Dr. Ted introduction to film and apply for copyright Dr. Ted Presents: series. Time spent 1 hour.March 16,
Editing time 3 hours: added title information just before splicing in 50-second Dr.Ted introduction and then transition to Corey and mom walking down Remsen St. to office. Added B roll images after Ted says last words to Corey and then finally added credits and full version of Ballad of Dr. Ted (YouTube) Final editing session for details tomorrow evening with Senior film editor Victor Arnez.March 17,
NO PROGRESS; AIR DATE MAR 21.Went to editing studio to review film. Unable to accomplish anything. Patrick had removed our completed work in progress because the memory allowed for the Dr. Ted presents Series was not sufficient. I discovered this when I could not find the film on the drive were work in. I had not realized that P. had done that even though I was there when he did. In spite of having the editing suite from 6-10 I could not stay past 7 and Patrick ran into problems and could not accomplish more detailing of the film. However, it was not a complete waste since I learned that the time allotted to air a BCAT "Special" show was 28 minutes. Therefore, the 72-minute film would have to be further edited into a two-part series: Part I: Preparations for placing braces and then Part II Placing Braces. We would take some footage from Part II and tack it on to Part I as a brief "coming attraction". So March 18 we will continue to do just that.Part II Placing Braces:
In part II we want to show:A. How a plate expander gets made and attached to the upper teeth and how it widensB. The attaching/bonding of the 6 upper front clear bracesC. Attaching the upper wire to the clear upper front six bracketsIn real-life this is done as follows:At the next appointment:I make one special x-ray that shows his palate bones as they are at the start.Then I place 8 tiny elastics (4 each side) between the upper back teeth (takes 10 minutes ---painless).They remain in place for at least 7 days. The elastics are called "separators"I made a model that shows them in place and we can film that modelAt the appointment after that:I remove the elastics. Now there is space between the teeth allowing me to painlessly fit rings on the four teeth needed to make the palate widening device. It is exactly like fitting a ring on your finger.I have made a dental model showing how the four rings would look in his teeth.Then I take an impression of his teeth with the rings on his teeth and remove the impression and then remove the rings and place\e them back in the impression and pour in dental stone plaster so that we end up with a stone model of Corey's teeth with the four rings in place on the teeth of the dental model and send it to the lab. I replace the elastic separators.The lab send us the palate device in 3 weeks.At the final appointment (the only one we need to have film footage of) I remove the separators (one minute)and begin checking the fitting the device on his teeth. (10 minutes). If it fits well I remove it and the assistant cleans and dries it and places an adhesive in each of the four rings, and hands it back to me and I seat it on his teeth. The adhesive sets in 2 minutes. Much attention is give to removing the adhesive that has overflows. Sometimes we use an adhesive that gets hard by shining a light on it.We then show mother how to make the turns in the screw that is set in the device that widens as it is turned with a special (simple) "key", It widens just a little each time the screw is turned. I would then do on e turn while Kim watches me and then she would do one turn herself under my supervision. Then I give Kim basic instructions: "Make one turn every two days for a total maximum of 10 turns and return to the office for evaluation".Then we bond on the six brackets to the upper front teeth as we did on the lower teeth. (12 minutes) andplace the wire (three minutes). End of filmingMarch 18
Nothing accomplished (perhaps even major setback): Learned that BCAT computers are constantly infected with viruses that can render previously created edited files useless. Learned that the iOmega portable hard drive must be connect to the PC before starting the Avid program. Goal for March 19th to create a 28 minute film for airing the 21st: Dr. Ted Presents: Placing Braces (Part I-- Preparation for Placing Braces). It will be the first part of a 72 minute DVD showing the entire film including Part I and Part II.
Dr. Ted Presents: Placing Braces (Parts I and II). Will be programmed to air as a separate show.March 19, 3 hours editing time: Using the Avid's "Audio Punch" tool we added the voice over to bring Part I to a close: "I hope you have enjoyed learning how orthodontists go about making diagnostic dental molds and special X-rays in preparation for attaching braces. Join me again in Part II when I will show you the process of actually bonding the braces on to Cory's teeth and then how I attach the wire that make the teeth begin to straighten" Total time of film 29 minutes and 51 seconds Dr. Ted Presents Placing Braces Part I: Preparation ... 10:30 am TW 34; cable 67, RCN 82; Verizon 41; Streamlive at: http://www.briconline.org/bcat/default.asp

Dear Patrick,
Show was removed from airing line up even though we had submitted the tape last night. We failed to notify them 3-4 days in advance of the air date that we were going to be submitting the tape late: Live and learn.

I will then remove them immediately and begin fitting the Bands around the four teeth that are necessary to make the palate widener.Then I will make a new impression with the rings on.
