Who Can Benefit From Orthodontic Care? 

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have an orthodontic screening no later than age 7. By then, enough of the permanent teeth have emerged to identify potential problems. 

Don't wait until all the permanent teeth erupt in the mouth. Starting orthodontic treatment early in life may have many advantages. For example, while children are still growing, expansion devices can be used to widen the palate. This can help teeth come in straighter by providing more space. It also may help to correct the way the top teeth and bottom teeth meet or come together. Such treatment should be done at an early age for the best results. 

Many people undergo orthodontic treatment during the preteen and teenage years. At this time, most of the permanent teeth have come in and treatment can be most effective. About 3 million teenagers in the United States and Canada wear braces. Millions more would benefit from treatment. 

An increasing number of adults now have orthodontic treatment as well. However, adult treatment can be more complicated. It may require more than one dental professional to fully correct a problem. For example, adult patients may be more susceptible to gum problems. They will need to take care of these problems before orthodontic treatment can begin. Sometimes they also have jaw alignment problems that require corrective surgery. One of the biggest limitations in adult treatment is that adults are no longer growing.

Smile Designing through Proper Dental Treatment

Smile Designing in Pune

A “Smile makeover” is one of the most exciting and wonderful aspects of dentistry today. The goal of esthetic dentistry is to help anyone have a healthier, well-functioning, brighter smile, with more even looking, straight teeth. Patients feel healthier, more youthful, vibrant, attractive and confident enough to smile. 

The beautiful smile can be created either by a cosmetic procedure or by orthodontic treatment.

  One point that is very important for patients to understand prior to having cosmetic procedures for quickly creating a beautiful smile is that they are irreversible procedures. 

It means that a quick smile makeover often involves removing healthy tooth structure from natural teeth to “straighten the teeth”. This is fine as long as the patient understands what is being done and if the patient wishes to undergo a quick smile makeover.

  There is also the option to straighten the teeth orthodontically for a similar result. Yes, it takes a longer time duration, but the natural tooth structure is preserved in this manner. Through a slower, comprehensive makeover process, only teeth that have been damaged (cracked, chipped, worn away, infected or irreversibly stained) need to be restored with crowns, veneers or bonding. Orthodontics is a way to create a beautiful smile if you aren’t in a hurry.  

If time is not the concern & patient wants the best possible result by keeping their original teeth, in that case braces act as the best cosmetic dental treatment over other procedures. Braces treatment is the most physiologic treatment to move the tooth in the desired position. 

Now orthodontic treatment can be successful at any age. Thanks to today's smaller, less visible, more comfortable brackets & Faster treatment techniques, adults are finding braces more appealing improving the health of their mouth and the attractiveness of their smiles.

At our clinic, you have the option of knowing both the treatment modality with the advantage & disadvantage of all cosmetic procedures based on individual cases.

How to Heal Cavities Naturally

There’s a common belief that once a person attains a cavity the only way to fix it or reduce the damage is by filling it with a synthetic material. According to the American Association, tooth decay occurs when foods containing carbohydrates are constantly left on the teeth. The bacteria that live in the mouth then use these carbohydrates to produce an acid that over time destroys tooth enamel. The American Association is right, but they are only informing people 1 of 4 things that can contribute to cavities. The other three are also major factors in contributing to tooth decay and they are lack of fat-soluble, high consumption of phytic acid foods, and lack of mineral intake.

In addition to daily oral hygiene, there are several natural ways to help reduce and heal cavities without having to get them filled. Keep in mind that if a tooth continues to trouble you, you really should see a dentist, natural remedies can definitely help, but if it’s too far gone you may need a professional. Here are some of the best ones to try out:

Oil Pulling

Teeth are known to be porous and like a sponge, contain passages that push nutrients to the surface of the enamel. Note that this only occurs if good nutrition is present in the body if not, it can provide the opposite effect and pull in toxins into the teeth. Coconut oil has the ability to cut right through the plaque and provide teeth anti-bacterial properties. By “oil pulling” – swishing the coconut oil in the mouth – it can help reverse the flow of toxins and pull bacteria out of the teeth. This will lead to strengthening the teeth and healing cavities overtime
