Invisalign helps open bites from tongue thrust

March 13, 2010

Do you have an open bite from tongue thrust? Invisalign can help with getting your teeth back together, depending on the severity of your space. The patient shown in the following pictures had already gone through braces for several years but the teeth relapsed. After only 6 months of Invisalign treatment at our office, we were able to put her front teeth back together! To make sure they stay in place this time (and also to fight the forces of her tongue thrusting habit), we placed a thin metal bar on the back sides of these teeth that are obviously not visible.

Cavity-Prone? Add in an extra brush!

July 17, 2009

If you would classify yourself as “cavity-prone”, here’s some advice on how you can do your part in cavity-prevention: 1) Brush your teeth 3 times a day. Most people brush their teeth in the morning, have breakfast, lunch, dinner and then brush their teeth before they go to bed.

That’ll cut that time in half and give you better breath throughout the day, too. 2) Cut down on your sugar intake. It’s OK to have...
