Straightening Teeth

to prevent bat breath

Imagine you have a bunch of sticks in the sand. You want them to all be straight, and you plan to accomplish this by gluing a string to each stick and then pulling the string taut. If you glue the string to the same spot on each stick and then pull it, nothing will move. Instead, you have to glue the string to each stick based on where you want the stick to be after the string has been pulled taut.

It's a simplified example, but it's essentially the same process that braces are used, just in a smaller time scale. The brackets are where they are because the wire is pulling them (slowly) from where they are now into alignment with the other brackets, so if your brackets appear misaligned now that does not necessarily mean that they are.

As long as you have lost all your baby teeth you can be virtually any age, though Adult orthodontics is more expensive and painful.

Your teeth are always shifting slightly, so as long as you would like them to stay how they are after braces, you need to wear your retainer forever. Not 24/7, but at least once a week or at night should keep them in place.

Mouthwash is not a substitute for tooth brushing. Everyone should brush his or her teeth at least twice daily, and floss once daily. This is the minimum frequency necessary to prevent plaque build-up, and the cavities that can result. Mouthwash is used, not to prevent cavities, but to prevent bad breath. Since you're going to brush and floss, and you want to use mouthwash, it makes more sense to use the mouthwash after brushing and flossing, rather than before, since brushing and flossing stirs up bacteria and other malodorous debris.

Your 'medicaid booklet' stating your coverage is a great place to start. If you do not have one, call your medicaid office where you signed up and ask 'how to get one. This is a great referance for medicaid coverage. '

In orthodontics, "ff" typically stands for "full face," which refers to the full face view in cephalometric analysis or treatment planning. It can also denote "frenectomy," a procedure to remove or modify the frenulum, or "first follow-up," indicating a patient's initial check-up after starting treatment. The specific meaning can vary based on the context in which it is used.

Natural teeth in the dental arch refer to the original teeth that develop in a person's mouth, including incisors, canines, premolars, and molars. These teeth are essential for functions such as biting, chewing, and speaking, and they are anchored in the jawbone by roots. Each type of tooth has a specific role in the overall function and aesthetics of the smile. Natural teeth are distinct from artificial replacements like dentures or crowns.

An orthodontist tightens a retainer by using a special tool to adjust the wire component of the retainer. This involves bending or tightening the wire to ensure it fits snugly against the teeth, helping to maintain their position after braces have been removed. The process is typically quick and may require the patient to return for periodic adjustments as needed. Regular check-ups help to ensure the retainer continues to function effectively.
