Now that the school year is back in full swing and parents and kids alike are adjusting to new schedules and obligations, there is room to focus on good oral health. It’s impossible to know how your kids behave when they’re away from you all day in school, and that extends to what they’re doing to their teeth and gums. Here are some oral health dos and don’ts for the classroom, the field, and home.
The simple truth is this: Invisalign trumps traditional metal braces. Above all, the virtually invisible nature of Invisalign makes it prevail over the brackets and wires that give people the undesirable “metal mouth” nickname. But there are other reasons why Invisalign should be your first choice when it comes to orthodontic treatment.
When a person wears braces, they often think about time: How long do I have to wear braces? How many times do I have to visit the dentist? And when it comes to Invisalign, patients begin to wonder even more about time as well as numbers: How many aligners will I have to wear over the course of my treatment? How many hours a day do I have to wear Invisalign?
Let’s break Invisalign down by the numbers:
Oral health is probably not the first thing that comes to mind when someone is diagnosed with osteoporosis, the condition that causes bones to become brittle, weak, and, ultimately, fracture. But bone is a living tissue that is constantly breaking down and being replaced, and osteoporosis is what happens when the creation of new bone can’t keep up with the removal of old bone. Research has suggested that there is a link between osteoporosis and bone loss in the jawbone which is, of course, the support and anchor of your teeth.
No matter how good you feel about your divorce, a break-up can take its toll on your self-confidence, and your appearance. One of the fastest, easiest, and most impactful ways to renew yourself and open up new doors to love, professional advancement, and personal satisfaction is to finally get that smile makeover.
If you’re a mother, chances are good that your own well-being is regularly on the back burner. You may manage to squeeze in your bi-annual dental checkups and cleanings, but you may not be making time for any sort of other dental care your teeth could use. When it comes to having straight teeth, many adults are content to live with what they have. But just because you aren’t a teenager anymore doesn’t mean there isn’t room for you to have a perfect smile – and you can make it happen without wearing traditional metal braces. Let’s talk about Invisalign.
What could change when it comes to teeth? Plenty. The technology used to examine, treat, and improve teeth is constantly being fine-tuned to make dental appointments easier and more convenient. Most of all, these modernizations mean patients can expect to spend less time in the dentist’s chair and experience less discomfort during treatment.
Dentures are a popular solution for people who have missing teeth, and they work well for the right individuals who are prepared to handle the daily demands that come with wearing dentures. Some men and women, however, want and need a permanent alternative to dentures that requires nothing more than brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits for upkeep. Enter dental implants.
Plenty of people visit their hair stylist, photos of celebs at the ready, requesting a hair makeover that will help them look like Jennifer Aniston or Brad Pitt. But it just so happens that a great deal of people visit their cosmetic dentist with the same kind of requests – they want a smile makeover that channels a megawatt celebrity grin.
Many professional adults want straighter teeth, but may feel they just don’t have time for orthodontia (or a “brace face” once they’ve passed their 18th birthday). Invisalign is an under-the-radar answer to straight teeth that’s making professionals everywhere happy because they can get the smile they want without making this cosmetic adjustment obvious to colleagues, clients, or coworkers.
