Invisalign Process 

Posted on by top

Invisalign clear aligners are now becoming popular as they dispel worry about metal brackets and wires. These clear aligners are also comfortable to wear as they are made of invisible plastic of high quality. People who wear them can eat food regularly  because the tool can be removed during eating. 

This Invisalign innovation is manufactured and was developed by specialists from the United States.

Invisalign process  

1. A patient is recommended to meet and consult with a dentist to make a treatment plan.

In the initial step of treatment, the patient is recommended to receive oral cleaning, scaling and cavity filling. After that, an X-ray is performed to look at the structure of the teeth and jawbone. Then dental Impressions are taken to create diagnostic models of the mouth before starting to insert the aligners. 

2.The dentist will schedule an appointment with the patient for dental scanning.

Then the treatment plan will be made based on the scanning results. A 3D model dental scanner is used to directly scan the oral cavity instead of dental impressions. As the next step, the dentist will show the patient’s oral structure before, during and after the treatment to let the patient see every change that Invisalign makes in the mouth.

3.The dentist will schedule a meeting with the patient again to give the first set of Invisalign clear aligners.

The dentist will explain how to use and take care of the aligners to make things go as planned. At first, the dentist will instruct the patient to wear each set of aligners in the correct order. The patient is required to wear them for 20-22 hours per day. They should be taken off while eating food and brushing teeth. The patient should see a dentist once every 1-2 months to see the progress.

Habits That are Bad for Oral Health

Posted on by top

Taking care of oral health is something important that is yet ignored by many people. As teeth play an important role in food chewing in everyday life, most oral health conditions are caused by eating food. Food particles stuck in the mouth can lead to many problems, such as decayed teeth, bad breath and swollen gum which can finally cause tooth loss.  

These following habits that are bad for the oral health should be avoided:   

  • Smoking and drinking   
  • Chewing hard food, such as beans and ice cubes 
  • Not cleaning the oral cavity  
  • Consuming sweets  
  • Brushing teeth in a wrong way 
  • Not cleaning teeth regularly with dental floss  
  • Drinking tea or coffee  

Regularly taking care of the oral health will keep the teeth strong and increase their longevitiy. Apart from those mentioned above, there are some other habits that cause long-term health issues. That is why a dental checkup should be done every six months. Regular checkups will help keep teeth and the oral cavity healthy.

Veneers: Beautiful Smile with Dental Innovation

Posted on by top

Nowadays, dental veneers are popular among actors, singers, beauty queens and net idols who need to be confident when smiling or talking with a great personality. Veneers are a cosmetic dentistry innovation that solves problems with teeth that look yellow, dull or unclean. The technology closes tooth gaps and provides tooth alignment. It works with both cracked and chipped teeth. Most veneers are made from thin custom-made ceramic shells. They look natural like real teeth and are placed at the front of teeth. Veneers do not affect food chewing in any way. Veneers last around 10-12 years, depending on the oral care and hygiene of each person.

Dental Implant Process

There are many causes of tooth loss, such as untreated tooth decay and gum disease. This causes problems in everyday life, including food chewing and no confidence while smiling. Therefore, “dental implants” are one suitable choice of treatment. 

Dental Implant Process 

1. Doing oral health checks  

Oral health checks are the first thing that a dentist does. X-Rays or CT-Scans may be recommended for thorough oral assessment. An initial treatment plan and assessment of treatment duration are made in this step.  

2. Performing dental implant procedure

After the dentist has made a treatment plan, the dentist will locate where to insert dental implants in the jawbone. After that, the gum will be cut open and holes will be drilled into the bone to insert the implants. The recovery period is around 1-2 months. During this period, the bone will heal and attach to the implants.  

3. Putting on dental crowns or inserting artificial teeth  

After the bones have attached to the dental implants in the recovery period, the dentist will make an appointment with the patient to put on dental crowns or insert artificial teeth. They will replace the real teeth that have been lost. With the new teeth, the patient can chew food normally. 

4. Follow-ups 

After the new teeth have been placed, the dentist will schedule a follow-up with the patient to assess the effectiveness of the implants as well as to give warnings and recommendations on how to take care of the implants. Although dental implants can function like natural teeth, if the oral cavity is not properly cleaned, problems may follow.

Dental Implants Offer a Solution for Lost Teeth due to Gum Disease

Posted on by top

Gum disease is caused by inflamed gums. Although in the initial stage the disease tends to cause only slight pain, it should not be left untreated as the disease may spread and finally lead to tooth loss. The gum inflammation is caused by plaque buildup. Patients who have gum disease and need to have teeth removed can stay worry-free as now there is one dental innovation that allows their lost teeth to be completely replaced. That innovation is dental implants, which resemble natural teeth. Dental implants are made from titanium which is biocompatible with the human body. For patients who have lost teeth due to gum disease, after the gum inflammation has been treated and put under control, dental implants are one choice of treatment that most dentists recommend to replace the lost teeth.

When a natural dental root is lost, it can be replaced with a dental implant. Dental implants are becoming a popular alternative to traditional, removable bridges and dentures.

Dental Implant replacement process

  • Oral checkup / X-ray to plan the proper treatment
  • Oral cleaning to prepare for dental implant surgery
  • Dental implant surgery by making a hole in the bone where the implant will be placed. The implant will be placed into the hole, and the incision is stitched closed.
  • After dental implants are placed and the jawbone has healed, permanent teeth can be built on top of them. For example, a crown or bridge.
  • Follow-up periodically

A dental implant is like an artificial tooth root that takes over the function of a real root.

Please note that some patients might need jawbone surgery before undergoing dental implant replacement.
