Orthodontics for adults

December 31, 2015 by writeradmin

I’m 42 years old with crooked teeth. I’m determined to do something about it in 2016, but don’t want to wear teen aged braces with mouth full of metal.  Tell me there is something else for adults?

Leslie,

You are in luck!  You can have straight teeth in 2016 and not only do it without metal braces, but do it without anyone ever knowing. There are tons of advances in orthodontics.

Invisalign uses invisible aligners.  Not everyone is a candidate, so you’ll have to be checked to see if they’ll work for you.

If you’re serious about a smile makeover, you’ll want to look into porcelain veneers. These won’t straighten your teeth, but they can make them appear straight. The big benefit about these is they can change the shape, size, and color of you teeth. You can get a completely new smile.

Good luck with your new smile in the new year!

What do you do if your crown falls out?

December 15, 2015 by writeradmin

I got my first dental crown. It was a little uncomfortable and I will admit I was picking at it a bit because of the discomfort. But, I was not expecting it to fall out.  I’m a little embarrassed now and wondered if I can put it back in myself?

Adrianna – Kentucky

Adrianna,

You have nothing to be embarassed about. Even if you did pick at it, it shouldn’t have fallen off. That is the fault of the dentist. What you’ll have to do is call them and tell them your crown fell out. Most dentists schedule some time in their days for unexpected dental emergencies. They shouldn’t charge you for this, because it shouldn’t have fallen out to begin with.

Don’t try to fix this yourself. If you don’t put it in just right, it could cause a problem in your teeth’s alignment. It could also be painful.

Speaking of painful, I would also be sure to tell your dentist the crown was uncomfortable. Describe the pain to him.  When he bonds it back in, he is likely to be able to solve that problem as well.
