Early Orthodontic Treatment 

George Bardawil, D.D.S,M.S

 Hamra-Beirut- Lebanon

• The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an orthodontic evaluation at age 7. The reason being is that many of the permanent teeth are erupting at this age and the bite is starting to develop. An orthodontic evaluation will help determine if there are any serious problems developing. If so, treatment at this age may be easier and simpler than waiting until later when the problem may become more complicated and more difficult to treat.
  Issues like large skeletal discrepancies, missing permanent teeth, severe crowding, ectopic eruptions, impacted teeth, and crossbites can be addressed in early orthodontic treatment. If treatment is not recommended yet, at least the orthodontist and the parents are aware of any issues that will need to be addressed in the future and an appropriate treatment plan can be made.
  Problems like skeletal jaw discrepancies must be taken care of using growth modification. This type of treatment is best done while the patient is young and still has a fair amount of growth left. Other problems like missing permanent teeth and crossbites can lead to more serious complicated problems if not addressed early.

Tips for Invisalign

Tips for Using Invisalign®

More than one patient has come into our office and asked, “What can I do to help my teeth when wearing Invisalign?”

While everyone’s teeth and dental needs are different, there are certain things everyone can do to make wearing their Invisalign aligners a more rewarding experience. Always follow the list of instructions and tips from Dr.George Bardawil , and add the following advice to your daily routine.

Always ask us about teeth whitening. We know how important it is for you to keep your teeth white and stain-free from the foods and drinks you consume daily. If you have attachments to your teeth, they will not whiten properly. Ask our office about teeth whitening when wearing your aligners; it might be best to wait until your treatment is complete.

Continue flossing every day. You should be flossing in any case. But it can be easy to assume that Invisalign will protect your teeth from bacteria. This is not true. Bacteria can get behind the aligners and affect the health of your teeth and gums, so keep up with your flossing schedule.

Follow the 48-hour rule when wearing your aligners. When you insert every new set of aligners, you should leave them in as much as possible during the first 48 hours. Your teeth will move more during this timeframe, and the aligners do the most good during this time.

The Clear Alternative To Braces For Teens.

Smile with Invisalign 

 

 Invisalign Teen is designed with today’s youth in mind. These clear, removable orthodontic aligners can straighten your teeth without the need for metal wires and brackets. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign Teen aligners are comfortable, nearly invisible, and removable, which allows you to remove them as you eat your favorite foods and brush and floss your teeth. Invisalign Teen motivates teenagers to enjoy life without restrictions while promoting better overall dental care.
 Key features of Invisalign Teen Teenagers are constantly on the move and require special options when it comes to their braces. Invisalign Teen utilizes the same technology as Invisalign for adults; they consist of a series of clear plastic aligners that gradually move the teeth.
 Extra features designed especially for teens include:
 •Blue wear-indicators on the aligners that gradually fade from blue to clear to help you, and our team, gauge wear time
 •Aligners designed to compensate for the growth of molars and new teeth
 •Customization to fit your mouth correctly and comfortably
 •Removable and nearly transparent to ensure you can eat with freedom and smile with confidence
 •Six free individual replacement aligners in the event that your aligners become misplaced or lost Conditions improved by Invisalign Teen Between 70 and 80 percent of adolescents in the United States require braces, according to the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO). Invisalign Teen uses advanced technology to treat a broad range of orthodontic conditions. These include overbite, underbite, crossbite, widely-spaced teeth, and overly crowded teeth. Injuries and tooth and jaw problems may also require the use of braces to correct jaw and teeth alignment problems.
 How does Invisalign Teen work?
 Like any orthodontic treatment, Invisalign Teen requires a customized treatment plan created by
 Dr. George Bardawil. Generally, each set of aligners is worn for approximately two weeks and removed when you brush, floss, eat, and drink. Your teeth will gradually move with the series of aligners, which typically ranges from 18 to 30 aligners in total. You’ll visit our Hamra or Fanar  office every eight to ten weeks to check your progress and make any needed adjustments. Invisalign Teen introduces a whole new way to make your smile straight without the unappealing look and hassle of traditional metal braces. This revolutionary method of correcting smiles is being used by teens everywhere, including right here at Advanced Orthodontics, to straighten their teeth with confidence.

Adult Orthodontic Treatment

Adult Treatment

A growing number of adults are replacing teenagers as the stereotypical face of orthodontic treatment. Proper tooth alignment can be achieved at any age, provided your gums and supporting bone structure are healthy. In Lakeville adult orthodontic treatment is available through Dr. George Bardawil. He offers a variety of treatments that are designed for different age groups - including adults. Your journey to an improved smile can begin today.
Adult orthodontic treatment can improve your personal appearance and self-confidence. Improved teeth and gum health is another benefit of treatment. Crooked teeth and an improper bite are contributors to gum and bone loss, tooth decay, abnormal enamel wear, uneven wear of tooth surfaces, headaches and jaw joint (TMJ/TMD) pain.
The advanced techniques and appliances we use are more comfortable today, they require less frequent orthodontic visits, and they provide quicker treatment time. You may even have several treatment methods from which to choose, such as Damon braces, clear or tooth-colored braces or Invisalign ,and Robotic Fast Invisible Braces .

INVISALIGN TEEN

INVISALIGN TEEN

Many teens want to improve their smile without the pain and embarrassment of having to wear metal braces. Just like metal braces, Invisalign works by gently moving teeth into position. Metal braces are worn continuously, however, and need to be adjusted by Dr. George bardawil regularly in order to move the teeth into proper position.
Invisalign uses a series of clear trays to move teeth into position. When you are done with one tray, simply pop in the next! Invisalign Teen straightens teeth just as well as traditional metal braces, but has several advantages.
Invisible
You’ve probably figured out the most obvious advantage already: the aligners are nearly invisible. Invisalign works by using a series of clear aligners that should be worn 20 to 22 hours a day. Invisalign trays are almost undetectable when you wear them, so you can smile with confidence — even while you are straightening your teeth.
Removable
One of the best things about Invisalign Teen is that the trays are removable. This means you can remove your tray to eat, brush, and floss your teeth, or even to play sports. While Dr.George Bardawil require you to wear the trays for most of the day, having the ability to remove your straightening trays means you have practically none of the dietary restrictions that metal brace wearers have to observe.
Teens that play contact sports often experience difficulties with metal braces. Invisalign Teen allows the flexibility to wear a mouthguard, and no metal wires or brackets means less risk of cuts or other injuries while playing a game. Musicians also benefit from being able to remove their trays during rehearsals and performances. You can even remove your tray for your school photo or to snap a quick selfie!
Finally, because you can remove your aligners, you can easily keep your teeth clean through normal brushing and flossing. You can also clean your trays by brushing and rinsing them in warm water. Brushing and flossing with metal braces can be frustrating and time-consuming. Invisalign Teen treatment at Advanced Orthodontics helps you keep your smile white and shiny with very little change to your normal routine.
To learn more about Invisalign Teen, or to schedule an appointment with Dr. George Bardawil, please give us a call at our convenient offices!

What is better " crowns Hollywood smile " OR Orthodontics for Healthy teeth?

What is better " crowns Hollywood smile "  OR  Orthodontics for Healthy teeth?

Having straight teeth  is something that you want. The question is “what is better for me…crowns or braces”? To know which type of treatment is better for you, it is important to know what their advantages and disadvantages are before you decide.

Advantages of Dental Crowns or Veneers

• Good esthetics – Dental crowns or veneers are made of porcelain, a material that can mimic the color and the appearance of a real tooth.  
• Fast Results – They can mask some minor imperfections of your smile in a matter of a couple of appointments. 

Disadvantages of Dental Crowns or Veneers

• Removal of Tooth Structure – Each tooth that needs a crown or veneer has to be “prepared” or shaved down before they are cemented on your teeth.
• High Maintenance – Maintenance of crowns and veneers is even more important because any gum disease or cavity can create a lot of problems and oftentimes they will need to be replaced when these problems occur.
• Inability to correct bite problems - Crowns and veneers can only mask very minor problems. Crowns and veneers will not be able to solve problems like overbite, deep bite, underbite, narrow arches and/or crossbite.This can lead to future T.M.J problems as well to bite problems.
• Longevity – Usually crowns or veneers last 5-10 years, even with great home care. They may need to be replaced from time to time. Improper bite or grinding/clenching habits may cause cracks or chipping of the porcelain.
• With porcelain it is also more difficult to get the crown to fit exactly where the tooth meets the gum. This then means that your dentist will require greater skill in order to fit them and that they may be more likely to be less than perfect in appearance and function. This may lead to gingivitis.

Advantages of Orthodontic Treatment

• Comprehensive Care – Orthodontic treatment is a comprehensive treatment that addresses all the issues so that you will have straight and properly functioning teeth at the end of treatment.
• Longevity – Braces are temporarily glued onto your teeth, leaving your teeth are just the way they were before orthodontic treatment at the end. Your very own natural teeth can last forever if they are well taken care of. No need to worry about replacement of restorations.
• You have options! – There are many different types of braces that you can choose to cater your lifestyle. There are traditional metal (with or without colors) and clear braces as well as clear aligner systems (such as Invisalign). Also, lingual braces (braces that are mounted on the back of your teeth so they are truly invisible) are ideal for those adult patients who highly value esthetics.

When considering what approach is the best for you, it is important to know the advantages and disadvantages of the options that you have. It is also important to have the long term health and stability of your teeth in mind. Dental crowns and veneers are a good option for those that have very minor problems or have problems that cannot be resolved with orthodontic treatment, such as chipped or discolored teeth. However, when the problems are more than just mild rotations or spaces, comprehensive orthodontic treatment is the more appropriate option.

Is Whitening safe during pregnancy?

Is Whitening safe during pregnancy?

The first trimester of pregnancy is the most important and usually all dental procedures are avoided, even cleaning till the second trimester. The procedures like teeth whitening should be completely avoided during full time of pregnancy as well during breast feeding. It can affect the saliva content, the mineralization of the teeth, cause sensitivity.

Misconceptions About Orthodontics

While everyone understands that a dentist takes care of teeth, not everyone is aware of what an orthodontist does. This confusion sometimes leads to misunderstandings about what Our offices does for our patients and how exactly our team can help them. Let’s take a closer look at a couple of the myths and misconceptions about orthodontics.

Perhaps the biggest misconception about the orthodontist is that we’re just like your family dentist. The truth is, we’re actually very different. While it’s true that both orthodontists and dentists care about helping you enjoy a lifetime of good dental and oral health, we go about achieving this goal in different ways. For instance, if you need to have a cavity filled, you probably won’t make an appointment to see me. Dentists are the health professionals to see if you’re concerned about a cavity or need a filling. A dentist can also treat gum disease, tooth decay, toothaches, and other common oral health problems.

People see an orthodontist for very particular services. Most of the patients we see on a daily basis are here because they have braces, or they need to be fitted with braces or another form of tooth-straightening device. In other words, they consult an orthodontist when they are concerned about the alignment of their teeth. As a child grows up, his or her teeth may come in crooked. This can happen for a number of reasons, so it’s important for an orthodontist to take a look at a child’s teeth at about seven years of age. At that age, it’s possible to detect any problems that have not become too advanced to treat easily. Your family dentist may also refer your child to an orthodontist once the adult teeth have fully grown in.

Another common misconception about orthodontists is that we only treat children. It’s true that when you visit an orthodontic clinic you’re apt to see a lot of young kids, but you’ll also see teenagers, college students, and adults. Because crooked teeth can be caused by a number of different factors, it’s entirely possible for someone to require orthodontic treatment at any age.

If you want to know more about the practice of orthodontics or what your orthodontist can do for you, then simply ask our team. It’s best to get answers to your specific questions directly from the person who will be treating you. While you’re sure to find Internet resources helpful, there really is no substitute for the personal attention you’ll get during your appointment.
