i no you have to have a 4 year bachelor degree then 3 years in dental school and 2 years in residencey.. so it all adds up to about 9-10 years of school. hope you find what your looking for good luck!

Income ranges from around £30,000 a year for an associate orthodontist (self-employed but working in a practice owned by someone else) to over £150,000 a year for some of those in who run their own private practice. The average income for orthodontists is just under £90,000 a year

you get to help other people and even though its just there teeth it puts a smile on their face. When i got my braces off i couldn't stop smiling and i got a lot of compliments. on teeth!! it really boosted my confidence.

Varing from 65-100 dollars per hour. Maybe more, depends on the Orthodontist and the number of patients

A dental license for the state he practices in at a minimum. There may be additional requirements depending upon the individual state. In order to be a specialist in orthodontics (orthodontist) a minimum of 2 years of an orthodontic residency must be completed leading to a certificate in orthodontics. Some programs also lead to a Master's degree. The accomplishment of obtaining a Master's degree is performed by completing a research project, writing and defending a thesis. All programs, whether they are certificate programs or Master's programs require some research work, but a Master's program requires writing and defending a thesis. Which orthodontist is a better clinician? There is no difference in clinical skills. The difference is that the Master's degree enables the orthodontist to go back into teaching (academics) and/or to be involved in research if he or she so chooses.

Frowning. I'm not for sure, but i think it's like 7 for smiling and like 16 for frowning

The answer is frowning

Frowning uses up more muscles then smiling...so smile often, it's hardly any effort.</zzz>

smiling....u use more mouth muscles and ur whole faces moves more when u smile...

No I got sick from it!

Usually one has to wear dental braces for 18 months to two years. With this said, it really depends on the individual and the orthodontist. Some can wear it for a very long time whilst some can wear it for a shorter time.

an orthodontist. my orthodontist has other employees putting on the braces and putting in spacers and taking pictures of your teeth and all that stuff. the orthodontist sees if you have an overbite or an underbite and if you need a retainer or bite plate and sees what teeth you need to lose before you can get braces.

Wisdom teeth do not cause crowding and I can prove it. When I was in Dental School we did a study. We took one group of people that had impacted wisdom teeth and graded their front tooth crowding. We then took a second set of people that had normal wisdom teeth in full bite and graded their crowding. We took a third sample that had wisdom teeth removed at a young age (below 16 years) and graded their crowding. We took a forth sample of people congenitally missing all wisdom teeth and graded their crowding. Know what we found? Wisdom teeth had no bearing on crowding of teeth later in life. Those with no wisdom teeth at all had the same incidence of crowding as those with the most severely impacted wisdom teeth. We developed (or perhaps a better term is adopted) the mesial migration theory. The theory is that all human teeth that are not artificially locked into position will tend to move anteriorly (towards the front) throughout life. It is merely coincidence that teeth seem to get more crowded or begin to crowd around the same time as the eruption of wisdom teeth.

Yes. Over the past 6 years since my wisdom teeth emerged, by front teeth, particularly on my top row, have overlapped. I have Invisalign now and the treatment duration is about 1 year, although the teeth will have the appearance of straightness in about 6 months.

I have just started my Invisalign trays. My front teeth are somewhat crooked and I still have two wisdom teeth reamining. (upper right and lower right). I was convinced that my wisdom teeth would have to be removed before starting Invisalign, but that was not the case. From what I understand, Invisalign can handle a variety of cases and situations. It is definitely worth looking into as I thought I would have to have braces versus the Invisalign.

I am 2 months into my Invisalign treatment and all 4 of my wisdom teeth are still impacted and have never caused me any trouble. My orthodontist did not see the need to have them taken out before my treatment. If they start to come through, I will have them out there and then, but not before. The extraction may be unnecessary and painful if they haven't been a concern. Wisdom teeth can stay dormant for may years and may never come through at all in some life times. My Mother had trouble for the first time at 57 years of age! It all depends on the crowding extent of the individual and how much movement there might be to aggravate the wisdom teeth. With the Invisalign treatment, selective teeth are slightly 'shaved' to create room to move, thus not pushing too many teeth back into the mouth.

Yes, Invisalign braces will make your teeth straight, although they do not a perfect job under orthodontic rules compared to conventional braces. But your teeth will look much nicer and your crowding will be corrected.

Your dentist will most likely recommend you to extract your wisdom teeth before using Invisalign if you are an adult.

Not by a great deal.

The active ingredients in mouthwash (antibacterial agents) are designed to work on oral bacteria during the exposure time which is displayed on the bottle of mouthwash. Typically you rinse for 30 seconds with mouthwash.

After this time any oral bacteria that has been killed will be amongst the mouthwash inside your mouth, so to remove as much as possible it's advisable to rinse with water afterwards - the mouthwash has done its job by then. It also helps to prevent staining of your teeth, mouth and tongue by the mouthwash.

I do not understand why there is no instruction to rinse with water after using mouthwash, however I would imagine this is personal preference - as there would be no detrimental health effects by 'not' rinsing it away.

whenever you need them u might not even get them

You have to look inside and clean peoples mouths every day for hours. If that alone isn't enough of a pain realize that you will also have their breath in your face

Pediatric Dentists are dental specialists who focus on the dental needs of children from infancy to the teenage years. This speciality involves additional training in an accredited institution for a period of 2-3 years. In the US, the national income average for recent graduates from these specialist residencies is between $250,000 to $300,000 per year. Most full time practitioners earn much more than the national average.

If you have a sore tooth from braces or separator's. A good idea is to take 1 or 2 pain reliever's.

Orthodontic retainers, the appliances given to a patient following active orthodontic treatment, are very important. This is because the teeth seem to have a "memory" and they will tend to return to their previous positions following ortho treatment if they are not retained in their new positions. Retainers typically need to be worn for several years to prevent the teeth from shifting.

There are basically two types of retainers, fixed and removable. Fixed retainers are placed with special cement are are not removable. The advantage is that they are easy to maintain and they cannot be lost of forgotten. The disadvantage is that they are somewhat hard to keep clean without meticulous oral hygiene. This can lead to additional tooth decay.

Removable retainers have the advantage of being able to be removed by the patient. This allows for better oral hygiene. Unfortunately, some patients will forget to wear their retainers and their teeth will shift. Also, removable retainers are not typically worn while eating, and they run the risk of being misplaced or lost. Replacing them repeatedly can become expensive.

Keep wearing it as often as possible. It only hurts because your teeth have started to move. Ibuprofen works good for pain.

if you have OCD and are 14 years old, would that cause you to act up in school?

The average fee is $110 per hour, however many charge much less. Most therapists are willing to adjust fees on a "sliding scale" based upon your income. Additionally it's possible to find extremely low cost therapy through community college and university programs (often therapists are working on the required hours to gain state licensing and cannot charge standard fees), and through community outreach programs such as the United Way.

The only way that you can tell that if your knee is going to be drained of fluid is by a doctor's opinion. If you feel a lot of fluid in your knees, you need to seek the opinion of your physician.

The benefits of an orthodontist may differ depending on where they work. They often receive health benefits and vacation time.

It all depends in which country he lives, which part of the country, and how many days per week he or she works. But to answer the question in a different way, an orthodontist makes in average a higher salary than a dentist.

i have one and i know one other person who does so not neccesarly but it is much less common than an over bite. I am actually going throught treatment right now. I suggest not getting the surgery but getting the screws in and using it as an ancorage. You can fix the problem MUCH sonner than 16 when i was supposed to get it done. Also you could get braces at the same time hop that helped :)

The prognosis is very good when impacted teeth are removed from young healthy adults without complications. Potential complications include postoperative infection, temporary numbness from nerve irritation, jaw fracture, and.
