For the first day or so, stick to soft foods. Always avoid tough meat, hard rotis and breads, raw vegetables and hard fruits. You ‘ll need to protect your braces when you eat for as long as you are wearing them.

2.Brushing:

It’s more important than ever to brush regularly when you have braces, so that your teeth and gums are healthy after orthodontic treatment.Patients who do not keep their teeth clean may require more frequent visits to the dentist for professional cleaning.

3.General soreness:

When you get your braces on, you may feel soreness in your mouth and teeth may be tender to biting pressure for several days. Dring cold water or juice can decrease the pain,as the initial wires are sensitive to cold temperatures. Take a painkiller like crocin or combiflam to reduce discomfort. Lips, cheeks and tongue may also become irritated for one or two weeks till they toughen and get accustomed to the surface of the braces. You can put wax on the braces to lessen this irritation.

If you develop ulcers , a soothening gel like Dologel or Mucopain can reduce pain and burning sensation.

Loose wires and brackets:

Donot be alarmed if a wire or bracket comes loose. This happens occassionally .If wire protrudes and is irritating , use a blunt instrument (the eraser end of a pencil )and carefully, gently push the irritating wire under the main archwire.If irritation persists to the lips or cheeks ,place wax or wet cotton on the wire to reduce the annoyance. Call our office as soon as possible for an appointment to check and repair the appliances.If any piece comes off, save it and bring it with you to the office.

Loosening of teeth:

This is to be expected throughout treatment. Donot worry! It’s normal.Teeth must loosen first so they can be moved.The teeth will get rigidly fixed in their new positions.

Care of the appliance:

To successfully complete the treatment, the patient must work together with the orthodontist. The teeth and jaws move to their ideal positions if the patient consistently wears the rubber bands , headgear or other appliances as prescribed.

Maintain your appointments regularly:

Frequently damaged appliances and changing or cancelling the appointments can LENGTHEN the treatment time and increases the cost of the treatment. If you play sports, it is important that you take special care .In case of an accident involving the face, check your mouth and appliances immediately. If teeth are loosened or the appliances damaged , notify us immediately . In the meantime, treat your discomfort as you would treat any general soreness.

Always heard that tooth extraction is very painful? Tooth extraction is not painful at all. Tooth extractions are painless and done with ease.

HOW CAN A TOOTH EXTRACTION BE PAINLESS?

Before carrying out the extraction procedure, the doctor will take an x-ray of your tooth to determine the present condition of your tooth and its adjacent structures. This also allows the doctor to analyse the bond of the branches of the teeth with its root and the structure of the current teeth. Having this information is very much necessary for a doctor to plan a proper extraction process.

Tooth extraction is usually relatively straightforward, and the vast majority can be usually performed quickly while the individual is awake by using local anesthetic injections to eliminate painful sensations

Aftercare for tooth extractions

You sense some pain after the extraction of tooth but the pain is absolutely normal. Some medication is prescribed to lessen the pain. Please follow the after care instructions as given by your dentist. Aftercare is of very much importance because the healing process of your teeth depends on it.

PREMIUM CERAMIC CROWNS

Dental Crowns reinforce the structure of your tooth, improve the tooth’s function and are used to cap or cover teeth after a root canal treatment. Crowns are usually made from different materials: pure porcelain (all ceramic) or porcelain with metal or gold (metal-ceramic). In all cases, they provide great results – making your teeth and smile more appealing.

CHOICES IN PREMIUM CROWNS ARE:

• DMLS CROWNS
• Zirconia crowns
• The E-.max crown

Treatment Procedure for Crown & Bridge

• The procedure requires two visits, but usually depends on the number of crowns needed. During the first appointment the  teeth are prepared by circumferential reduction to make room for the supporting crowns. An impression (or mould) is then taken for fabrication to a laboratory and a plastic temporary crown/ bridge  is fitted for the interim period. The fabrication at the laboratory takes approximately 3-4 days. During the next visit, the temporary crown/bridge is removed and the crown/bridge is permanently cemented into place.

Pocket reduction (also called as animal tissue flap surgery)

Regeneration

In this procedure, the dentist will fold back the gums and will remove disease-causing microorganism. After this, he will insert bone grafts, membranes, or tissue-stimulating proteins (or any combination of the three) to encourage your gum tissues to regenerate and work snugly around the teeth once more.

Soft tissue graft

In this procedure, the dentist will take sample tissue from elsewhere in your mouth and attaches it to your gums to interchange gum tissue. This procedure is usually used for cosmetic functions and also improves the looks of the teeth.

In this era of technology, Computer-aided design/computer-aided producing (CAD/CAM) devices appear to be seizing the dental area. Of these, 3-D internal scanners are revolutionizing the method we have a tendency to take impressions.

Fortunately, digital impressions have exponentially simplified the method of all the surgeries. Setup is as straightforward as unplugging the scanner from one portable computer and plugging into the USB port of the pc you would like to use. A series of fast internal pictures are seen on the computer.

Once the digital file is obtained, it is often sent to a laboratory or opened in an implant- or surgical-planning code. When inserting dental implants, employing a surgical guide is usually suggested.

Fortunately, with an image scanner, once the intraoral scan is performed, the digital file is distributed to the laboratory wherever a virtual tooth is damaged and a guide is made-up and sent back to the workplace. No model is created, eliminating extra prices.

Digital odontology is in its starting stages. The technology is new and exciting, with several uses in odontology and-more specifically-implant odontology. It permits for a lot of exactness once treating our patients. From guided surgery to abutment and crown fabrication, digital technology provides a lot of actual treatment coming up with and minimized chair times. Within the days of making an attempt to take care of and attract new patients, the patient “WOW” issue can be matched.
