Everything you need to know about Invisalign
Dental Braces
  • Invisalign braces are made up of plastic and form
    something called aligners that will work slowly
    to realign a persons teeth. Moulds will be taken
    of a patients teeth in the first initial
    appointment to create a 3D cast, x-rays and
    digital imaging are also used during this
    process. This helps the dental surgeon to come up
    with a fool proof course of action when it comes
    to actually sculpting the impression of the teeth
    for the braces.
  • Once the Invisalign braces have been sculpted and
    fitted to a patients mouth they will have to be
    worn for the majority of the day, for twenty two
    hours at least it is advised to take them out
    only when sleeping. You can, however, remove them
    when eating or when brushing your teeth, this
    will make the Invisalign brace much easier to
    clean and keep your mouth and gums hygienic.
    Having unclean braces will cause some nasty
    infections and complications. What Invisalign
    braces work to do is realign any crooked or wonky
    teeth and to correct any overbites. They do this
    by gently guiding your teeth into a better, more
    healthy position. However, there are different
    parts and pieces to Invisalign braces and the
    patient will progress through these different
    mouth pieces in two week stages, of course,
    providing everything went well with the prior
    stages and treatments.

The Benefits of Invisalign Dental Braces
  • Duration. Traditional braces will typically be
    worn by the patient for anything from two to five
    years at a time. This is a very long and arduous
    process that, understandably some people do not
    want to put themselves through especially if
    they are older. However, with invisalign dental
    braces, this will never be a problem. These
    braces only last for a brief period time,
    something usually like one year, to maybe a year
    and a half at the most. The great thing is that
    the results are still the same as they would be
    with traditional metal braces, just without all
    of the fuss and prolonged waiting periods.
  • Comfort. Metal braces do have an unfortunate
    tendency to snap and therefore dig in to the
    sides of peoples gums and mouths, which,
    naturally, is rather painful for the wearer. With
    invisalign braces this does not happen, they are
    much more comfortable to wear than the metal
    ones. This is mostly because they can be removed,
    unlike traditional metal braces. This is also
    makes it easier to eat things as well as drink
    things that you couldnt eat with traditional
    braces. Taking them out also allows the mouth to
    relax and recuperate after wearing the braces.

The Benefits of Invisalign Dental Braces
  • Appearance. A mouth full of metal can look a tad
    odd, and make the wearer feel very self-conscious
    about the appearance of their teeth and smiles in
    general. This goes double for adults as braces
    are normally seen as something that a teenager
    would wear. However, with invisalign braces,
    there is no need to feel embarrassed or worry
    about people seeing your braces. Invisalign
    braces are also called invisible braces, they are
    made of an incredibly clear material. It looks as
    though the wearer is completely free of braces,
    when in reality, this is not the case. Invisalign
    braces are a lot more appealing and attractive
    than traditional metal braces.
  • Safety and caution. As mentioned above, there are
    a lot of metal wires with traditional braces that
    can cause a myriad of problems. One such problem
    would be cuts and scratches on the gums, tongue
    and inside of the cheeks. However, invisalign
    dental braces are made from a completely smooth
    material. Cuts and scrapes need never be a
    problem with these forms of braces. There are no
    sharp edges or anything that is in likely hood to
    snap or break there is absolutely no chance of
    injury or irritation. There is also none of the
    force involved with traditional metal braces, so
    this also reduces any of the possible pain
    involved with braces.

Everything you need to know about Dental Bridges
  • Durability. Dental bridges, if taken care of
    properly are almost guaranteed to last a
    lifetime. They do need to be properly maintained
    however, if they are to last for any extended
    length of time. This means time and money can be
    saved as the patient will not need to constantly
    go for dental check-ups and or appointments and
    reapplications. The durability of the dental
    bridge is one very big advantage as well as a
    great incentive if a patient is not particularly
    fond of dental visits and appointments.
  • Smile restoration. Peoplecan be very
    self-conscious about the gaps in their gums and
    the way it makes their smile look. Dental bridges
    are a quick and handy solution to this actually
    very common problem. The false teeth serve to
    fill in the gaps and restore patients smile to
    its previous and full potential.
  • Free reign of oral movement. Gaps in ones teeth
    and gum line can cause some pretty serious and
    inconvenient speech impediments and also cause
    pain while eating, speaking or even things as
    innocuous as yawning. Filling these inconvenient
    gaps with dental bridges will almost completely
    fix any problems with excess spittle, drool,
    problems with pronunciation and speech as well as
    remove any possible pain that arises while
    chewing, speaking or yawning. Patients will have
    free reign of their mouths and complete range of
    jaw movements once again without any added fear
    of embarrassment or pain.

Everything you need to know about Dental Bridges
  • Face shape. Often with missing teeth, the skin
    over the jaw and mouth can start to concave or
    sink inwards towards the gaps. With dental
    bridges this needs only to be a distant concern
    of the past as the false teeth, crowns and
    implants completely fill out the gap caused by
    missing teeth and therefore restore the face back
    to its previous shape without any evidence of
    distortion or without any signs of previous
    misshapen jaw lines.
  • Stronger bite. Naturally, a patients bite can be
    uneven due to gap in their teeth, adding a dental
    bridge will sort this problem and make the bite
    more even.

8
Dental Bridges with The Art of Dentistry
  • A dental bridge is a possible solution to
    covering the gaps left in gums caused by missing
    teeth. Typically, dental bridges are comprised of
    two or so dental crowns with several false teeth
    in between the crowns. The false teeth are
    anchored by these dental crowns that cover the
    two teeth. Dental implants are also another
    option when it comes to replacing or covering up
    gaps left from missing teeth. Typically, more
    than one appointment is needed when fitting the
    dental bridges if bridges are being supported by
    dental crowns. In the first appointment the
    neighbouring teeth will be prepared to hold the
    crowns. Impressions or moulds of the teeth are
    then taken along with the actual gap in your
    teeth. The moulds will serve as a guide, almost
    like instructions, for the dentists in the lab
    who will be creating the bridge for the patient.
  • However, the patient will not be left wanting at
    this time and temporary bridges will be fitted
    while the customised ones are being created in
    the dentistry labs. During the duration of the
    second visit or appointment the customised dental
    bridges will be fitted to the patients mouth
    these will be the permanent bridges. If patients
    choose to support the bridge with a dental
    implant, it is a two week process of making and
    then attaching the bridge which will be followed
    by only two surgeries with roughly four to six
    months of recovery. This procedure requires a lot
    of time and many stages of preparation however,
    this version of dental bridges is considered to
    be the best known way to support bridges or any
    other various dental implantations.

Everything You Need To Know About All On 4 Dental
Treatment
  • What is it?
  • All On 4 dental implants are a technique for
    replacing any missing teeth using a reduced
    number of implants then typically used in more
    traditional methods.
  • The Pros of All On 4
  • This treatment is cheaper than the more orthodox
    or traditional dental implants that typically use
    up to ten implants at a time.
  • As the implants are drilled in and thus fixed in
    place, there is absolutely no need to take them
    out to clean them.
  • This is a short procedure that will take little
    recovery time.
  • Bone loss in the jaw is of no matter and this
    treatment will still be available for patients
    with this problem.
  • Once again, as they are fixed in place, there is
    no chance of them slipping or simply falling out
    of a patients mouth.
  • They are comfortable and a lot more stable when
    it comes to supporting other dental modifications
    such as dental crowns and bridges.

Everything You Need To Know About All On 4 Dental
Treatment
  • The Cons of All on 4
  • Traditional implants may give the patient a
    better result over the long-term than All 0n 4
    treatment will.
  • Some people view this treatment as a short cut or
    quick fix to tooth loss and thus do not see it as
    a viable option.
  • There have been some problems with speech after
    the surgery, such as spitting, slurring and even
    hissing.
  • If just one simple implant malfunctions or fails,
    this can cause a wide spread problem within the
    entirety of the jaw itself.
  • This is not actually a fully customised solution
    to loss of teeth.
  • Finally, the new artificial bridge in the gum may
    feel awkward or intrusive.
