INVISALIGN TREATMENT

Everyone has a dream of getting a straight and beautiful smile. Unfortunately, many people suffer from having crooked or misaligned teeth. Traditional metal braces were the only option to align the teeth. It is very effective but is fairly visible. That visibility often prevents adults from undergoing braces treatment. Thankfully, there is a better method to straighten your teeth i.e, Invisalign. You may be wondering about the benefits of Invisalign. Many choose this treatment over traditional braces because of its advantages.

Invisible

The appearance of the braces is what stops people from undergoing treatment for mal-aligned teeth. Traditional braces are very effective at creating beautiful smiles but they are extremely visible. The benefits of Invisalign treatment is that it is practically invisible. In fact, most people wouldn’t even know that you are wearing anything to your teeth.

Computerized

Everything is computerized, your treatment plan is scheduled at the beginning so it can predict the duration of the treatment. The computerized outcome will give you a clear idea of your treatment progress right from the beginning till the end. It allows you to see the end result and how impressive your new smile will be.

Removable

Traditional braces are directly bonded to your teeth so it is not removable and maintaining good oral hygiene is a task with the braces. Invisible aligners are entirely removable. You can simply remove aligners by yourself while eating, brushing, and put them back on when you are done. Hence, there are no eating restrictions with the Invisalign.

Better Hygiene

One of the main complaints regarding the traditional braces includes food and debris getting stuck between wires and brackets. Any food that is stuck around the braces can decompose and smell, leading to bad breath. Invisalign however can be easily removed so that you can clean your teeth normally. Simply remove your aligners and brush and floss whenever needed, your aligners also can be cleaned.

Pain-Free

With the traditional braces, patients will have an issue with pokey wires that bother their cheek or lips. However, with Invisalign treatment, pokey wires or brackets are not a concern at all. It is a painless experience as it has a smooth surface.

Lesser Dental Visits

With the traditional braces, regular appointments are required to maintain, tighten or replace broken brackets. But with the invisible aligners, patients can take all sets of aligners with them so that they don’t have to visit the dentist on monthly basis.

What is dental implant surgery?

A dental implant is a titanium post (resemble tooth root) that is placed into the jawbone and allowed to fuse with the bone over the span of few months. This artificial root will carry the crown/bridge. As dental implant replaces crowns along with roots of missing teeth it exactly gives the feel of your natural teeth.

The fusion of dental implant with jawbone is called “osseointegration”. The success rate for dental implants is close to 98%. Today dental implant considered as the best tooth replacement option in dentistry because it replaces the missing tooth without affecting the adjacent teeth.

Procedure of dental implant surgery:
Step1: Medical history and health of the patient
Step2: Extraction of damaged tooth under local anesthesia and observe alveolar bone where the implant needs to be placed.
Step3: Placement of bone grafts if there is no adequate bone structure and wait for 2 to six months for the implant placement.If there is adequate bone structure then immediate placement of the implant under local anesthesia.

Step4: At the implant placement appointment, under local anesthesia the implant is placed into the bone with special drills and tools of appropriate diameter .

A “healing cap” is placed over the implant, the gum is stitched up and then the healing phase begins. Observe the implant for 2 to 6 months this is the time where the implant integrate with the bone. During healing phase patient can go for a temporary crown or denture for esthetic purpose but no force should be exerted on the implant at this phase.

Step5: Once the implant was taken up by the surrounding bone, a prosthetic component called “abutment” placed on the implant which helps to hold the crown/ bridge/ denture.

Uses:
Replacement of single tooth
Replacement of multiple missing teeth
Implant supported denture for better stability, support and retention.
Implant act as temporary anchorage for orthodontic treatment

Causes of Deep Bite | Deep Bite Treatment | Chisel Dental Clinic

A deep bite is a malocclusion in which the upper front teeth excessively overlap the lower front teeth when back teeth are closed. This is also called an overbite.
While a deep bite may or may not be an esthetic concern for most patients, its presence usually indicates there are other problems that should be addressed.

Deep bite are caused by hereditary or genetics and is one of the most common malocclusion seen in children as well as adults and is most difficult to treat successfully.

Mild

 

Moderate

 

Severe

According to a study conducted by Profit and Fields (2007), “overbite more than 5 mm is found in nearly 20% of the children and 13% of the adults”. Severe overbite, considered as a clinical problem, should be corrected through orthodontic or orthosurgical intervention. Severe overbite may affect the temporomandibular joint, cause periodontal problems and tooth wearing.

The most common cause is a small lower jaw. Most patients with deep bite have small looking chins.The chin is pushed back by the bad bite which makes it look smaller than its actual size.

Another cause of a deep bite is a missing lower tooth. This creates a condition similar to having a short lower jaw.

Chronic habits as thumb sucking, tongue thrusting can contribute to an overbite.
If a patient already has a deep bite, as they age, their teeth wear down and will cause the overbite to get deeper.

The reason for a deep-bite can be dental (due to the position of the lower teeth, the upper teeth, or both) or related to the growth of your jaws.

Features :

A lateral tongue thrust or abnormal tongue posture.
Wearing away of the occlusal surface or tooth abrasion.
Anterior tipping of the posterior teeth into extraction sites.
Prolonged thumb sucking.

Deep bite associated with periodontal disease may cause gingival recession, dentin hypersensitivity, loss of attachment and tooth mobility. This is often a very difficult problem involving prolonged and complex orthodontic treatment along with periodontal management.

An Apple A Day Won’t Keep The Dentist Away!

 

Tooth decay refers to cavities that occur when bacteria builds in your mouth and start producing acid that destroys your teeth. Overlooking tooth decay during the initial stages may cause infection, severe pain and the loss of tooth. The decay progression begins with the hidden damage to the enamel of your teeth and then gradually spreads to inner layers of the tooth, ultimately resulting in a pulp. The pulp of your teeth comprises of highly sensitive nerves and blood vessels.

The major causes of tooth decay include:

• Poor Oral Hygiene Practices
• Deep Tooth Crevices and Enamel Issues
• Improper Nutrition
• Acidic Foods and Drinks
• Dry Mouth Issues
• Tooth Grinding

How to prevent tooth decay?  

1. Brush your teeth at least twice a day with a toothpaste containing fluoride. If possible, brush after having meals and especially before you go off to bed.
2. Clean between your teeth on a daily basis using dental floss or inter-dental cleaners.
3. Use a fluoride-containing mouthwash to rinse your mouth because some mouthwashes contain antiseptic ingredients that kill bacteria that cause plaque.
4. Drink at least one pint of fluoridated water daily as it protects the children from tooth decay.
5. Eat balanced and nutritious meals and limit the fatty snacks. Keep away from carbohydrates like chocolates, pretzels and chips. If you eat sticky foods, don’t forget to brush your teeth soon afterwards.
6. Consult your dentist about dental sealants (an artificial protective coating) applied to the chewing surfaces of your back teeth (molars) to protect them from decay.

Founder of Chisel Dental Clinic, Dr Sumanth Shetty—MDS Pedodontia says, “Avoiding a visit to the dentist is not good for your oral health and will eventually cause future tooth decay.” In fact, you should see the dentist frequently for routine cleaning and oral exam.

 

Orthodontics: The magical procedure for crafting a perfect smile!

Orthodontics is a specialised branch of dentistry that is primarily associated with the diagnosis and correction of misaligned teeth and jaws. The objective of an orthodontic treatment is to adjust the placement of crooked teeth to fashion a smile that is pleasant and picture-perfect. Also, such treatments ensure that the teeth fit together correctly for appropriate oral hygiene, keeping periodontal disease and tooth decay at bay.

Who needs orthodontic treatment?

Abnormal development and arrangement of the teeth, as well as the jaw, can affect the overall shape of the face. An orthodontist carries a special clinical exam that includes diagnostic tools, such as X-rays and plaster models to decide whether a patient needs an orthodontic treatment or not.

The most common cases for orthodontic treatments are:

• Overbite: Also known as ‘buck teeth’, where the upper front teeth appear to stick out over the lower teeth
• Underbite: Refers to the ‘bulldog’ appearance, where the upper teeth are placed too far back than the lower teeth
• Crossbite: An alignment where the upper teeth are placed slightly over the teeth at the bottom
• Open Bite: When there is an apparent gap or space between the front upper and lower teeth upon biting them together
• Misplaced Midline: When the centres of the upper and lower front teeth do not match each other
• Spacing:Any sort of gaps or spaces between the teeth
• Crowding: When there are too many teeth in the mouth as compared to the size of the jaws

Common Orthodontic Treatments

There are different types of appliances that put gentle pressure on the jaws and teeth to help them move.

Fixed Appliances: Braces (with bands, brackets and wire) is one of the most practised orthodontic treatments.

Removable Appliances: It includes orthodontic devices, such as aligners, retainers, lip and cheek bumpers, palatal expander, headgear and jaw repositioning tools.

Factors to Consider Before Choosing a Dentist.

Factors to Consider Before Choosing a Dentist

Taking care of your teeth is one of the greatest ways to keep up your overall level of health. Good oral hygiene can keep your smile looking great and it can also safeguard your health. Having a good dentist is important if you want to preserve your teeth. Here are a few things, revealed by the experts of Chisel Dental Clinic, which you should consider before choosing a dentist:

• Reputation: Any dentist that you work with should have a brilliant reputation. Devote some time in reading reviews of local dentists to find the best one.

• Location: Your dentist’s workplace should be conveniently located. If it is too much of a trouble to get to the office, then you may be less likely to keep up with regular appointments. Look for an office that is situated close to your home or office.

• Price: Dental services need to be reasonably priced or else you will be disappointed while going in for appointments. Call some local dentists and ask for their base price on standard procedures such as cleanings, fillings and crowns to compare prices.

• Dental Staff: In the course of your dental visit, you should be treated well by all of the staff members. This includes the front desk staff, as well as any dental assistants or hygienists who work on your teeth.

• Payment Options: It is imperative to make sure that the dental office you choose accepts the category of payment you want to use. For example, if you plan to pay for your dental services with a credit card, make sure that the dentist accepts the type of card that you have.

• Specialties: If you need any exceptional procedures done such as a root canal, extraction or oral surgery, you should make sure that the dentist is up for the job. Not all dentists offer surgical procedures, so it is essential to check beforehand.
