Thumb Sucking Habit Breaking Appliance Dental
Thumb Sucking Habit Breaking ApplianceSucking is a natural reflex that relaxes and comforts babies and toddlers. Children should cease thumb sucking when the permanent front teeth are ready to erupt. Typically, children stop between the ages of 2 and 4 years. Thumb sucking that persists beyond the eruption of permanent teeth can cause improper growth of the mouth and malalignment of the teeth. A more permanent solution to thumb sucking is an appliance called a “fixed palatal crib” The appliance is cemented on the upper six year permanent molars and is positioned behind the upper front teeth on the roof of the mouth. The crib consists of semicircular stainless steel wires that are fastened to molars using steel molar bands. The stainless steel wires fit behind the child’s upper front teeth, and they are barely visible, if at all. This appliance does not cause any discomfort and is not affected by eating. It serves as a reminder to the child that the thumb is not suppose to be in his mouth. The crib usually stops the habit of thumb sucking within weeks or months.Tongue Thrust Habit Breaking ApplianceTongue thrusting, simply defined, is the habit of placing the tongue in the wrong position during swallowing, either too far forward or to the sides. It is estimated that every 24 hours you swallow a total of 1,200 to 2,000 times, with about four pounds of pressure per swallow. This constant pressure of the tongue will force the teeth and arches out of alignment. Besides the pressure exerted while swallowing, nervous thrusting also pushes the tongue against the teeth while it is at rest. This is an involuntary, subconscious habit that is difficult to correct. A tongue thrusting appliance is made for the patient that is permanently cemented in place. It is necessary to correct this habit prior to doing orthodontic treatment on a patient. If this habit is not corrected, the teeth will relapse after orthodontics due to the tongue pushing against the teeth when swallowing.
...moreSOFT NIGHT GUARDS Custom teeth
Over the past years Bracket Dental Lab has been fabricating night guards of all types and sizes. We have seen plenty of new materials, methods and spent extra preparation time on casts to insure the best possible fit. Soft night guards are usually made of silicone or another malleable plastic, and tend to be mushy or squishy when placed between the teeth. The material's composite allows the formulation of a high quality night guard that is both resilient and dual able, and is very comfortable. The soft laminate night guard is great for first time splint users and for those with minor to moderate grinding problems. It can also be worn on either the lower or the upper arch, and is non-abrasive to both the natural teeth and the opposing teeth.
...moreretainers
Retainers are fitted at the end of orthodontic treatment after the braces are removed. They can be either removable or fixed onto the teeth. There are different types of retainers. The choice of retainer is affected by a number of different factors and your orthodontist will explain which retainer is best for you. Sometimes you will be recommended to wear more than one type of retainer to reduce the chances of the teeth relapsing. There are two reasons for wearing retainers: Teeth tend to want to move back towards their original positions. This is called relapse. As we get older our teeth may start to move unpredictably, often showing some crossing over and increased in crowding. By wearing retainers long-term we can reduce these age changes in the position of the teeth. The longer you wear retainers, the longer you can keep your teeth straight.

Dental INVISIBLE ALIGNER AND BRACES
Invisible Aligner and braces is modern approach to straightening teeth, using a custom-made series of aligners created for you and only you. These aligner trays are made of smooth, comfortable and virtually invisible plastic that you wear over your teeth. Wearing the aligners will gradually and gently shift your teeth into place, based on the exact movements your dentist or orthodontist plans out for you. There are no metal brackets to attach and no wires to tighten. The patient is supposed to wear the trays as instructed and check ups are done every 6-8 weeks by the orthodontist or dentist to monitor the progress. They are not visible so adult patients not wanting to wear braces can get their teeth corrected. They are removable so the patients do not have restrictions on food as those with the fixed appliances. As they are removable, the forces do not act on the teeth all the time. Patient cooperation is very important. Only mild to moderate malocclusions can be treated efficiently and effectively as the control needed over teeth for complex movements is less with Invisalign/ ClearPath/ Clear Aligner as compared to that exerted by fixed braces. Patients may experience speech problems for a few days. In many cases, it may not be possible to achieve the best possible aesthetic smile; functional and stable results without repositioning teeth with orthodontic appliances. These patients have the option of choosing appliances which are not very visible or not visible at all. Due to recent advances in orthodontics, the time taken for orthodontic corrections has reduced. In most cases aesthetic improvements can be achieved in a few weeks to a few months. Invisalign is not available in India as of now.

The Hyrax (Hygenic Rapid Expander), originally designed as an upper arch rapid palatal expanding appliance, can also be used as a slow expander. Between three main designs (bonded, banded and wire frame), a variety of available screws, and the option of reverse headgear hooks, there is certainly a design to meet any patient's lateral expansion needs. Expansion potential with the Hyrax ranges between 10 and 18 millimeters, depending on the screw used. The traditional Hyrax screw expands at least 10 millimeters and is widely used today. The "Super Screw" can be used for expansion of up to 18 millimeters, and the Memory screw offers spring-loaded expansion.
