Scene 1
Dialog:
Eating foods is one of the great pleasures of life. And to enjoy foods from… energy bars… to cookies… to fruits and vegetables, we rely on one part of our bodies: our teeth. Don’t forget 10 sec of roomtone.
TO SHOOT:
Farmer’s market (alternate: Harvest Coop)
- Andrea walking around produce aisle saying dialog. At end, pick up an apple when she says “fruits and vegetables.”
HARVEST COOP
- Pan of energy bar shelves – about 10 seconds total
FLOUR BAKERY
- Pan of cookies in bakery cases – about 10 seconds
CLASSROOM BLACKBOARD
- Closeup shot of Andrea eating an apple. Will be sped up in post. Do this once on each day (Wed, Thu, Fri)
- Should probably have music
WARDROBE:
- Red MIT sweatshirt, brown pants, hair in barette
PROPS:
- Apple

Ortho Shoot Scene 2
LOCATIONS:
Classroom blackboard (mid-day)
Scene 2 Dialog:
Teeth are the hardest substance in our bodies – harder than our bones, and even harder than iron or steel!
While we chew, our teeth actually experience forces up to 225 pounds - that’s like having a mountain goat jump up and down on our teeth hundreds of times each day…
so why doesn’t our jaw just crumble under all those forces?
TO SHOOT:
CLASSROOM BLACKBOARD
- Andrea delivering first 2 lines with glass tooth sculpture in hand. Leave room for goat to be displayed jumping in animation on top of tooth.
- Closeup of Andrea delivering 3rd line without tooth visible.
WARDROBE:
- Red MIT sweatshirt, brown pants, hair in barrette
PROPS:
- Glass tooth, pedestal

Ortho Shoot Scene 3
LOCATIONS:
Classroom blackboard (mid-day)
Scene 2 Dialog:
Teeth are the hardest substance in our bodies – harder than our bones, and even harder than iron or steel!
While we chew, our teeth actually experience forces up to 225 pounds - that’s like having a mountain goat jump up and down on our teeth hundreds of times each day…
so why doesn’t our jaw just crumble under all those forces?
VO:
Between your tooth and your jawbone, there is a specialized piece of tissue called the periodontal ligament, or PDL for short. The PDL can easily absorb the normal forces that a tooth experiences when we chew, say, an apple, cushioning or protecting our jawbone from our teeth.
And inside the PDL, there are all kinds of cells. One type, called mechanoreceptors, sense forces of movement or pressure applied to the tooth. If the force is large enough, such as biting into an apple seed, these receptors tell your brain to stop biting down!
TO SHOOT:
CLASSROOM BLACKBOARD
- Andrea doing voiceover
- 5 second Closeup of Andrea biting down hard and making a pained face (to be displayed during line” such as biting into an apple seed, these receptors tell your brain to stop biting down!”)
WARDROBE:
- Red MIT sweatshirt, brown pants, hair in barette

Ortho Shoot Scene 4
LOCATIONS:
Orthodontic operatory (mid-day)
Classroom blackboard (mid-day)
Scene 4 Dialog:
But what if we *want* to force teeth in a certain direction… VO: like with braces?
As the braces pull on the tooth, the PDL is squeezed in one direction and stretched in the other, like a rubber band.
Here’s where it gets interesting - to make room, the mechanoreceptors in the PDL trigger cells called osteoclasts to come in and dissolve a little bit of the jawbone.
The mechanoreceptors also trigger another kind of cell called an osteoblast, which builds the jawbone back up, so the PDL cushion can get back into its proper shape, holding the tooth in its new position.
TO SHOOT:
CLASSROOM BLACKBOARD
- Close-up of Andrea delivering “here’s where it gets interesting”
ORTHODONTIC OPERATORY
- Andrea (in MIT shirt) stands in front of dental chair wearing goofy teeth to deliver line “But sometimes we NEED to force teeth in a certain direction.”
- Andrea hops in dental chair (will be sped up in post).
- Closeup of Andrea, dressed as doctor, pulling on gloves.
- Andrea hops out of dental chair and faces camera, smiling with fake braces in while VO says “like with braces”
WARDROBE:
- Red MIT sweatshirt, brown pants, hair in barrette, goofy teeth, fake braces
- Doctor gown, mask, gloves
PROPS:
- Dental chair

Ortho Shoot Scene 5
LOCATIONS:
- Orthodontic operatory
- Classroom blackboard
VO:
Your jaw isn’t the only place where these osteoclasts and osteoblasts alter your bone structure. In fact, this bony remodeling process is happening throughout your body.
Where braces use bone remodeling to make teeth straighter for mostly cosmetic reasons, dental implants replace teeth that are damaged or missing – to restore chewing function.
