2)ADVANTAGES OF CLEAR INVISIBLE BRACES FOR THE DOCTOR-
ACCURACY of regeneration of patient occlusion without any digital data manipulation, eliminating any potential inaccuracy of appliance fit.
MORE CONTROL OVER TREATMENT with our batch aligner shipment products where treatment can be modified in between batches during the course of treatment.
SUPERIOR CLARITY OF ALIGNERS compared to other aligners available in the market which makes it more transparent and a hygienic choice.
FASTER TURNAROUND TIME from the time a case is received to the time aligners are shipped back to the doctor.
UNLIMITED MODIFICATIONS to the diagnostic setup are allowed.
ACCURACY OF THE VERTICAL RELATION established at the beginning and at the end of treatment through a unique articulation process.
QUALITY ensured at each step of the process monitored by trained and experienced dental staff members.
ACCURATE AND PRECISE IPR using original patient dentition without any digital error introduced to it.
Original Patient Data used during the whole manufacturing process from casting to treatments and aligner fabrication which adds to the accuracy of the end product and ensures BETTER TREATMENT OUTCOME.
PRECISION OF MOVEMENT: The entire process is designed to deliver customized aligner that moves each tooth directly along the most efficient way to achieve the desired goal. By optimizing each aligners output, you minimize the number of aligners and intermediate changes required leading to shorter treatment times for patients, and increased capacity for practice.
Original gum tissue is used to fabricate aligners, thus providing LESSER NUMBER OF CLINICAL MODIFICATIONS at the time of insertion of aligners.
LIMITATIONS OF BRACES
Although braces are generally effective in correcting a wide range of malocclusions, they are subject to many limitations and disadvantages. Conventional orthodontic treatment is associated with:
UNATTRACTIVE APPEARANCE: Braces call attention to the patient’s condition and treatment. In addition, braces trap food, which can further compromise appearance. Braces can also result in permanent discoloration of teeth. Many adults associate braces with adolescence.
ORAL DISCOMFORT: Braces are sharp and bulky and can abrade and irritate the interior surfaces of the mouth. The tightening or adjustment of braces results in root and gum soreness and discomfort, especially in the few days immediately following an orthodontic visit.
POOR ORAL HYGIENE: Braces compromise oral hygiene by making it more difficult to brush and floss. These problems can result in tooth decay and periodontal damage. Additionally, the bonding of brackets to teeth can cause permanent markings on the teeth.
INABILITY TO PROJECT TREATMENT: Historically, dental professionals have not had means to model the movement of teeth over a course of treatment. Accordingly, they must rely on intuition and judgment to plan and project treatment. As a result, they cannot be precise about the direction or distance of expected tooth movement between patient visits. This lack of predictability may result in unwanted tooth movements and can limit the their ability to estimate the duration of treatment.
PHYSICAL DEMANDS ON DENTAL PROFESSIONAL: The manipulation of wires and brackets requires sustained manual dexterity and visual acuity, and may place other physical burdens on the dental professionals.
ROOT RESORPTION: The sustained high levels of force associated with conventional treatment can result in root resorption, which is a shortening of tooth roots. This shortening can have substantial adverse periodontal consequences for the patient.
EMERGENCIES: At times, braces need to be repaired or replaced on an emergency basis. Such emergencies cause significant inconvenience to both the patient and the dental professional.
ClearPath aligners are transparent / invisible. These are a cosmetic & hygienic alternative to the conventional metal braces. Many adults spend their entire lives covering their mouths when they laugh, smile or talk. They feel stuck because they do not want to wear braces due to pain, irritation, discomfort and social inhibitions. Now there is an effective, safe and clinically proven cosmetic solution that fits your lifestyle. So if you are planning to correct your malocclusion without any discomfort or social inhibitions due to unsightly braces / wires, ClearPath is the right choice for you. ClearPath Invisible Aligners also offer predictable results visualization even before the treatment begins.

Best dentist in Pune / best orthodontist in Pune #dentist
Going to the dentist's office is something few people look forward to, which makes a dentist's job more difficult than simply evaluating teeth. A good dentist needs a variety of different skills to enable him to do his job successfully, while limiting the discomfort of the patient.
Here are the few qualities required to be the best dentist-
First and foremost, a good dentist needs extensive knowledge about teeth, gums, and mouth in order to properly evaluate problems patients may have and prescribe proper solutions. The dentist should also have great attention to detail in order to evaluate teeth well and apply their knowledge. Dentists should be aware of different treatment methods to give patients options whenever possible. They should also stay informed on advances in dentistry by attending seminars and other continuing education programs.
2.Manual Precision
A good dentist needs to have steady hands that can perform minute and precise actions when performing different procedures on a patient's mouth. A dentist's fingers should be dexterous and have good muscular endurance so as not to tire during long produces, which may cause a slip-up. The dentist should also have gentle hands that don't use more power than is necessary to complete necessary procedures.
3.Communication

1. Knowledge
2.Manual Precision
3.Communication
A good dentist will have excellent communication skills and be able to understand and relay complex information in layman's terms. Dentists often have to explain procedures and make recommendations to patients, so it is essential that information is communicated in a clear manner. It is important for dentists not to come off as biased or favoring a certain procedure because it will bring in more money; the focus should always be on the patient's well being.
4.Empathy
One of the most essential qualities of a dentist is the ability to connect with and empathize with patients. A dentist should genuinely care about their patient's oral health and use their empathetic qualities to put patients at ease. This not only makes performing dentistry less stressful for the patient, but it can make things easier for the dentist as well. Allowing patients to view their own X-rays and medical records can help put them at ease and make them feel more involved in caring for their teeth.
5. Patient education
A dentist can be exceptional at performing procedures at a clinic, but the most important part of oral health is often the decisions and habits of patients outside of the dentist’s office. It is important for dentists to be able to impress the importance of oral hygiene on their patients and make the patients want to maintain the health of their teeth. Dentists should educate patients on the importance of brushing teeth and flossing regularly and avoiding certain foods, and other important factors that influence oral health.

Wisdom Tooth Removal / Third Molar Tooth Extraction #dentist #dentistpune #orthodontist #dental clinic in pune #oral surgeon in pune
| Wisdom Tooth Removal
Wisdom teeth usually appear
between the age of 16 and 25. Most adults have four wisdom teeth, but it is possible to have fewer or more. Wisdom
teeth commonly affect other teeth as they develop, becoming
impacted or "coming in sideways." They are often extracted when this occurs.
Due to evolution, the jaw size in humans has reduced leaving no room for the wisdom tooth to erupt hence resulting in ectopic eruptions (abnormal position) of the wisdom tooth or impaction (complete failure of eruption) of it, so the need for the extraction of wisdom teeth. The procedure of painless removal of the tooth should always be performed under effective local anesthesia by a knowledgeable oral surgeon. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Immediately Following
Surgery Keep the gauze pad placed over the surgical area with pressure applied by biting down ATLEAST FOR 45 MIN Once you remove the gauze pack, it is advisable to eat soft and cold foodstuffs such as ice-cream, yogurt, etc. Take your prescribed pain medication as soon as you begin to feel discomfort. This will usually coincide with the local anesthetic becoming less effective. Do not suck on a straw, spit, or smoke. Restrict your activities the day of surgery, and resume normal activity when you feel comfortable. Place ice packs on the side of your face where surgery was performed. Refer to the section on swelling for an explanation. Vigorous mouth rinsing or touching the affected area the following surgery should be avoided. This may initiate bleeding caused by dislodging the blood clot that has formed. Do not rinse your mouth for the first post-operative day or while there is bleeding. After the first day, use warm salt water rinse every 4 hours and after meals to flush out particles of food and debris that may lodge in the area. Restrict your diet to liquids and soft foods which are comfortable for you to eat. |

ESTHETIC OTHODONTICS / COSMETIC-ORTHODONTIC WAY
THE IMPORTANCE OF ESTHETICS
Patients who choose to undergo orthodontic or surgical
treatment do so for a variety of reasons but almost all want treatment to
correct functional problems. If the correction of the patient's malocclusion has
compromised esthetic relationships, then patient unhappiness may follow, even
if all functional goals are met. Patients obviously prefer esthetic improvement
with their functional correction if possible.
The issues
of patient satisfaction and happiness are very complex because of matters such
as patient expectation, self-assessment, and psychological and even psychiatric
conditions present before and after treatment. One of the contributing factors
in patient satisfaction involves the always subjective evaluation of facial
esthetics. Facial appearance considered ideal by one individual or group may
not be judged so by others. One's dental and facial appearance is important not
only in the role that attractiveness plays to others but also in one's
self-concept! Perception of appearance, particularly of the face, affects
mental health and social behavior, with significant implications for
educational and employment opportunities and mate selection.
The patient's perception of his or her profile and the need for treatment are not necessarily consistent with the clinician's diagnosis
based on cephalometric criteria. Wilmot et al stated that "The clinician
must clearly address the patient's motivations for orthognathic treatment in addition
to other demographic variables regardless of the severity of the
deformity."
There are many methods of facial analysis attempting to
quantify beauty. Differences in analyses and how each professional evaluates a
face usually depend on training backgrounds. Patient ethnicity, familial
characteristics, and personal preference are the main determinants of how a
person may feel about the esthetics of his or her own.
Orthodontic facial analyses have a predisposition to
profile and cephalometric appraisals because a great deal of study and effort
has been expended by the profession to determine averages and normative values
(called norms) from which treatment decisions can be made. Tooth and bony
appraisals are also emphasized because that is the area in which orthodontists
and oral surgeons direct their treatment. Plastic surgeons emphasize
soft-tissue analysis.
There is no substitute for thorough clinical evaluation
and recording of the resting and dynamic soft-tissue relations of the face when
evaluating patients. Static records such as plaster models, photographs, and
cephalometric data for subsequent analysis are simply not adequate for
excellent coordination of hard-tissue planning and esthetic outcome
Any
analysis based on cephalometric or facial "normative values" has one
inherent weakness and that is that beauty is not the norm.
ESTHETICS AS MOTIVATION FOR
ORTHODONTICS
The potential negative effect of the dentofacial
disfigurement on the psychic and social well being of children is an idea readily
accepted by many lays and professional people The rationale underlying treatment
recommendations based on esthetic impairment comes from the belief that
impaired appearance resulting from malocclusion will adversely affect
self-esteem, which in turn can lead to poor social adjustment and affective
disorders.
The opposing rationale is that the psychologically healthy
individual will adjust to his or her appearance and that low self-esteem simply
creates negative self-valuation. The current trend in Orthodontics is
comprehensive care delivery. This requires the inclusion of esthetics as a part
of the overall diagnosis. Parents must weigh the cost/benefit for their child
and may choose to provide orthodontic treatment to their children to enhance
dentofacial esthetics, alleviate psychosocial problems, or improve function
and/or prevent future dental disease. A study by Dan et al on a series of 297
adolescent patients highlights reasons for seeking treatment as the following:
1. Appearance of teeth-84%
2. Advice of dentist-52%
3. Appearance of face-41 %
FACIAL AND DENTAL ANALYSIS
x
x
Orthodontists are accustomed to a very quantitative facial and cephalometric patient evaluation should learn facial evaluation by proportionality and more subjective evaluation criteria than linear measurements. Treatment decision making may be determined by what is most esthetically appealing rather than by what the cephalometric norms may be. This becomes all the more important because they are usually the first professionals asked to make decisions that have permanent effects on the final facial form The esthetic and functional goals for growing patients should be the same as they are for adults. The methods of treatment that we use to achieve the desired esthetic and functional outcome make up the difference in treatment approaches
Facial
skeletal growth patterns in the adolescent that often are improved through
orthodontics and growth modification include the following:
1.
Mandibular deficiency-Redirection of skeletal growth
vectors with headgear is the most commonly used method. Functional appliances
have the potential to improve mandibular projection and are often combined with
headgear for maximum treatment effect.
2.
Maxillary horizontal deficiency-Relatively recent
developments in maxillary protraction and nonsurgical advancement of the
maxilla offer the orthodontist the chance to improve or correct this deformity
if it is moderate in severity.
3.
Vertical maxillary excess-Superiorly directed headgear
can retard the vertical growth of the maxilla and diminish the severity of this
deformity. Other therapies, such as bite block functional appliances and
vertically directed chin cups, have been shown to be effective in diminishing
vertical maxillary growth.
4.
Horizontal maxillary excess-This may be treated either
through retardation of anteroposterior growth with headgear or through
camouflage via premolar extraction and retraction of the anterior teeth.
Areas of a skeletal deformity that are not easily improved or corrected by orthodontics or
growth modification include the following:
1.
Mandibular
Prognatbism- Sutural growth of the maxilla is more easily affected than
the more complex growth characteristics of the mandible. In the past, attempts
to retard excessive growth of the mandible have been made through extra-oral
forces applied via chin cup. Because the mandible grows by the apposition of bone
at the condyle and along its free posterior border, this method is not as
successful as the use of extra-oral forces to the maxilla. The contemporary
view of mandibular growth is that condylar growth is largely a response to
translation as the surrounding mandibular hard and soft tissues grow; in the
past, it was thought that the condyle had a "cartilage growth center,"
which might react to forces placed on it. Although the treatment results from
most chin cup cases are often disappointing, they can be quite effective in
cases in which a short-lower facial height is present, because the application of
chin cup force can result in a down-and-back rotation of the mandible.
2.
Vertical
Maxillary Growth Deficiency-Any control or influence of this growth pattern is
difficult, and there is little evidence
3.
Chin
Deficiency-Relative improvement in chin projection may occur with
treatment designed to increase anteroposterior projection of the mandible, but
growth of the chin point itself is not affected by orthodontic or orthopedic
treatment.
All clinicians in the contemporary medical and dental
environment must consider whether their goals of treatment are consistent with
the treatment goals of the patient. Almost all practicing orthodontists have
had the experience of providing camouflage treatment with good intentions, but
in the end were disappointed in the facial outcome. Also disappointing is
seeing the adult patient who has undergone orthodontic treatment as a child and
now expresses unhappiness with facial esthetic characteristics that may be a
direct result of the orthodontic treatment. Plastic surgeons who don't
recognize the contribution of the teeth and the facial skeleton to facial
esthetics will achieve good results in a large percentage of their cases, but
there will be a number of patients in whom soft tissue surgery alone is
inappropriate camouflage of an underlying dento-skeletal problem. The
camouflage simply cannot achieve the same level of esthetic outcome as do
interdisciplinary approaches to treatment.
The contemporary orthodontist should be able to visualize
the long-term dental and facial goals of treatment and counsel the parent and
patient as to what treatment choices may offer the maximum chance of both
dental function and dentofacial esthetics. This means that the orthodontist's
comprehensive vision will be improved and expanded if his or her knowledge of
expected soft-tissue growth patterns is integrated with traditional dental and
skeletal planning. Orthodontic plans that include esthetic finishing options
offered by the dentist, periodontist, oral and maxillofacial surgeon, and
plastic surgeon may not be suitable for all patients (or even all orthodontists,
for that matter!), but their discussion is an important aspect of informed
consent. Also, the various options that can enhance the final esthetic outcome
are often appreciated by the patient be
The most
comprehensive recent studies of facial proportions are those of Farkas et al in
which extensive cross-sectional facial measurements were obtained from
Canadians of Northern European ancestry. The proportional relationship of
height and width is more important than absolute values in establishing the overall
facial type.
Attractive faces tend to have common proportions
and relationships that generally differ from normative values. The ideal face
is vertically divided into equal thirds by horizontal lines adjacent to the
hairline, the nasal base, and menton
