Straighten Crooked (Tedhe Medhe) Teeth- The INVISIBLE way

Orthodontic treatments can go a long way in improving the appearance, function and the Self-confidence of individuals. This treatment is done to treat conditions like teeth crowding, crossbites, spacing, improper bites etc.

The treatment focuses on rectifying these issues and a person’s general smile by moving or straightening teeth, or generally enhancing the way they function.

Additionally, this treatment not only enhances the appearance, but also offers long term oral health benefits.

The most common barriers for traditional braces treatment include the appearance of the appliance, the discomfort of treatment, and frequent visits to the dental clinic. Adults often cite societal pressure as the reason for not undergoing orthodontic treatment.

The new age aligners address most of these issues reliably and have opened the doors for such patients to get the much needed treatment in a non- intrusive and comfortable manner. Not only are these 3d printed aligners nearly invisible, they also are very effective in treatment of nearly all kinds of malocclusions.

The patients are required to wear these appliances for at least 22 hours a day for effective treatment. Choosing the right treatment plan and the quality of the aligners also has an impact on the effectiveness of treatment.

The new age aligners promises a painless invisible method for correcting this age old problem and are a boon for teenagers and adults opting for this treatment.

An average Human being spends a whooping 1,000 hours brushing teeth over a lifetime. It thus becomes important to find a toothbrush that feels comfortable and works well. This can be a daunting task, considering the variety of toothbrushes on the market. Angled heads, raised bristles, oscillating tufts: which toothbrush will work best for you?

In reality, almost any toothbrush you feel comfortable using works well. However, the following recommendations can be helpful:

Any toothbrush you choose should have soft/ ultra-soft bristles. Hard bristles may cause gum tissue to pull back from teeth, which can expose the tooth root and lead to increased sensitivity to heat, cold or certain foods and drinks.
Select a toothbrush head size that can easily fit into the mouth and can brush one to two teeth at a time (the general size is 1" long and ½" wide). If you have a large mouth, you may prefer a full-sized toothbrush head. If you have a small mouth, opt for a compact head.
Powered toothbrushes don’t clean teeth any better than regular toothbrushes. However, if a powered toothbrush motivates you to clean your teeth more often and for the required length of time, it is worth the investment.
Powered toothbrushes are better choices than manual toothbrushes for anyone who needs assistance brushing teeth, including people with arthritis (or any condition that may limit mobility), anyone wearing braces or people with misaligned or uneven teeth surfaces that make a thorough cleaning more challenging.
Replace your toothbrush (or toothbrush head for a powered toothbrush) as soon as the bristles begin to look worn or frayed (usually every three months). A worn toothbrush does not do a good job of cleaning your teeth. Remember always to replace your toothbrush after an illness.
If you’re still undecided about which toothbrush to use, consult your dentist for advice.
If you are shopping for a child, select a toothbrush with the following characteristics:

Soft bristles (for gentle cleaning)
Very small heads (designed for baby teeth)
Large handles (easier for children to grip)
No matter what toothbrush you choose, it is important to brush your teeth twice a day and floss once a day as part of your regular oral care routine.

Wishing you all happy smiles.
