Today is Earth Day! One small change you can make immediately, to show our earth a little love, is to conserve water by not letting it run while brushing your teeth!

We thought this might be a good time to remind our patients in braces of some common Orthodontic problems & how they can be handled from home:
Loose Band or Bracket Loose Appliances: If the band/bracket is still attached to the wire, leave in place. If uncomfortable, place wax on it. If it comes out completely, wrap bracket/band or appliance in tissue. Call our office to schedule a repair visit. Call even if you have an upcoming appointment since repairs of this nature usually take additional time. Broken appliances will delay treatment time and need to be repaired as soon as possible.
Loose Wire: Try to place wire back in place with tweezers or needle nose pliers. If that is not possible, clip the wire with fingernail clippers behind the last tooth to which it is securely fastened. If uncomfortable, place wax on it.
Poking Wire: If a wire causes irritation, using a pencil eraser or a Q-tip, push the poking wire down and away from the area, or place wax on it to alleviate the discomfort.
Using Wax:
• Step 1 – Ball up a small amount of wax with your fingers.
• Step 2 – Dry off your brace with a paper towel.
• Step 3 – Mash the wax against your bracket to make a small comfort mound.
• Replace it if necessary and don’t worry if you happen to swallow this, it’s just wax.

Are teeth considered bones? It’s one of those surprising facts you didn’t see coming, but teeth are not bones. Teeth are similar to bones in some ways. Both are made up primarily of calcium, and both contain nerves and blood vessels. But bones produce bone marrow, and teeth do not. For this reason, teeth are not considered to be bones.

We bet you know lots of friends with braces. Do they look like they are in a lot of pain? No! Seriously though, you may feel a small amount of discomfort for a few days while your teeth, gums, and mouth get used to your new braces. But it won’t last long and it’s a great excuse to have milkshakes!

Chances are, if you’re considering orthodontic treatment, it has been on your mind for a while. We believe it is never too late (or too early) to have a healthy smile! Investing in your health is a great feeling and we would be happy to help you start that journey. Here are some ways your investment will help you:

Confidence Boost: Gone are the days of hiding your teeth. With orthodontic treatment giving you the smile of your dreams, you will never want to stop smiling!

Improved Health: You will find peace of mind in knowing your investment is improving your health every day. With your teeth and jaw in the optimal position for your mouth, you will be able to clean, eat, speak and function in a much healthier manner. Less wear on your teeth and better chances of keeping your teeth your whole life.

Happier You: Waking up every day and loving your smile will ensure you’re always putting your best foot forward. No more putting off plans because you’re embarrassed by your teeth. It’s time to let that perfectly healthy smile shine!

Stress is no joking matter. It can affect everything including your health. Here are some tips for reducing your stress in 5 minutes or less:
1. Deep Breathing: Sit up straight and close your eyes. Slowly inhale through your nose and envision the air you are breathing in as crystal clear and cool. As you slowly exhale, imagine the air going out as dark and hot. Slowly repeat the process until all the dark air has left your body and you are filled with only cool, crystal-clear air. Open your eyes and make a fresh start.
2. Be Present: Focus only on the single task before you at that very moment. Focus your full attention on the task at hand and put everything else out of your mind. You will instantly feel less overwhelmed.
3. Tune in to Your Body: Close your eyes and imagine all the pores on your body as tightly closed, holding the pressure of stress inside with no means of escape. Now imagine that your pores are slowly opening, releasing the interior stress, slowly at first but then faster as your pores fully open until, finally, all your stress is released!
4. Listen to Your Thoughts: Pay attention to what you’re saying to yourself. Self-talk like “I’ll never get all this done” or “This day will never end” only serves to increase stress and anxiety, and most importantly, they are rarely true and serve no useful purpose. Change your self-talk to “I don’t know how I’ll get all this done, but I always do” or “I’m looking forward to relaxing tonight”. Make your thoughts work for you, not against you.

Get in the habit of being aware of your stress level and make efforts to reduce it whenever you can. It takes practice, but the benefits are worth the effort.
