Periodontology Treatment: Benefits For Your Health

Tim WatleyPeriodontologyLeave a Comment on Periodontology Treatment: Benefits For Your Health

Taking care of the gums not only provides important benefits for oral health, but also has positive consequences on general health. For this reason, periodontology treatment is an essential pillar to guarantee better overall health.

The latest surveys on oral health carried out in our country show that in Spain approximately 90% of the population over 35 years of age has some problem related to the gums.

Periodontal diseases are infectious diseases of bacterial origin that affect the tissues that surround the teeth. They have a multifactorial origin, and genetic, environmental, local factors also influence …

Gingivitis and periodontitis are the two main periodontal diseases. When only the gum is affected, causing a reversible inflammatory process, it is called gingivitis; In the case of periodontitis, in addition to inflammation of the gums, there is an irreversible destruction of the tissues that support the tooth, endangering its survival.

Negative consequences

Periodontology diseases, in addition to the clear consequences that they have at the oral level, also have an impact on a systemic level: that is, the negative consequences can extend beyond the mouth and affect other parts of the body and enhance or complicate some disorders as frequent and important as diabetes.

At the oral level, the most tangible effect of periodontal diseases (and the true end point of this disease) is tooth loss, which can lead to significant functional and aesthetic problems. But in addition, these diseases can cause bleeding, halitosis, gingival recession, dental mobility, pain … which can negatively affect the quality of life.

Oral health benefits

One of the main benefits of oral periodontology treatment is that it prevents tooth loss; in fact, the available scientific evidence reveals that this therapy is predictable when it comes to dental “mortality” * rates.

And is that the main objective of periodontal treatment is the long-term maintenance of natural teeth in a healthy, functional, aesthetically acceptable and pain-free state. To do this, it is a priority to stop the inflammatory disease process and control the possible associated risk factors.

The data obtained in recent studies show that patients who receive periodontal treatment lose an average of 0.1 teeth per person per year compared to 0.6 teeth per person per year that patients who do not receive treatment lose. Of course, the results are obtained and maintained over time as long as the patient receives adequate and periodic maintenance therapy.

The fact of achieving health and good long-term results will also allow patients to benefit from the entire arsenal of treatments that multidisciplinary teams can offer, today, to achieve a healthy, functional and aesthetic mouth, thus improving the quality of life.

Another beneficial effect of periodontology treatment is its ability to produce improvements in the various clinical variants, which translates into the absence of bleeding, less dental mobility and control of halitosis.

Currently, as published in a recent report by the Spanish Periodontology Society (SEPA), it is estimated that in 90% of halitosis (bad breath) cases the origin of the bad smell is from the mouth and in more than half of these cases (around 60%) the problem is closely related to some type of periodontal pathology (gingivitis in 60% and periodontitis in the other 30%).

And does it benefit general health too?

Nowadays, there is a growing body of scientific evidence that highlights the important links between periodontal health and general health.

The repercussions of periodontology disease at the systemic level derive, either from the presence of a large number of bacteria at the subgingival level that can produce a direct effect, or from the systemic inflammation that they generate. This means that gum disease can increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases, of having a premature birth or that the fetus registers a low weight at birth or of producing decompensation of diabetes, among many other effects.…

Tim WatleyDental Braces GuideLeave a Comment on Removable Braces: Complete Treatment Guide

The brackets removable are a type of orthodontic characterized in that the dental braces guide apparatus which is used  can get on and off providing great comfort to patients during duration of treatment.

It is a treatment that is used mainly in children’s orthodontics , although there are people who when they refer to “removable braces” actually refer to “removable orthodontics”

For this reason, in this guide on removable braces we are going to explain all those details and most frequent questions that our orthodontic patients in Burgos usually ask us when they come to our office for a treatment.

Removable Braces: Complete Treatment Guide

What are the advantages of removable braces?

As we have already commented in the introduction to this guide on removable brackets, the main advantage and what characterizes it is that they have a “remove and put” character .

The “remove and put” feature allows that during certain periods , such as sports activities in which the presence of orthodontic appliances can be especially annoying, patients can remove the removable braces , thus providing great comfort .

In addition to the advantage of comfort, removable brackets have other advantages such as:

Efficacy : With wearing the aesthetic braces 75% of the time , that is, 18 hours a day is enough for the effect that the treatment is to achieve.

Speed : Compared to other treatments based on other types of techniques, removable brackets achieve results quickly while combining it with the convenience of being able to remove and oppose them at specific moments when it is convenient for the patient.

Aesthetics : Is there something more discreet than something that is not there? Thanks to the removable nature of this type of orthodontics, we can “not wear orthodontics” at the specific moments that are required .

Hygiene : Since removable brackets can be removed and put on, theypresent great advantages in terms of dental  hygiene . We can remove them before eating and during toothbrushing , which makes oral hygiene during treatment significantly easier to carry than with other orthodontic options.

How do removable braces work?

Removable brackets, unlike conventional brackets, are based on dental braces guide splints that adapt to the teeth and, through the pressure they exert, they manage to mobilize the teeth .

Are there other types of removable orthodontics?

Indeed, removable braces are not the only type of orthodontic treatment that is removable . There are other alternatives that also present this character, such as orthodontics based on the use of transparent splints.

It must be our orthodontist who, after a visit at the dental braces guide clinic, determines which of the options is most appropriate for each particular case.

How long does a treatment with removable braces last?

The duration of a treatment with removable braces does not differ essentially from other types of orthodontic treatments and can be estimated within the range of one to two years .

The duration of treatment with removable braces will come determined by each individual case and must be determined by the orthodontist after a medical examination to determine each case in particular .

Does the removable bracket treatment hurt?

No . As we have already commented in previous entries in this blog, orthodontics does not cause pain and therefore orthodontics based on removable brackets, because it is a particular type of orthodontics, does not produce pain either.

At the most, we can talk about discomforts that over time tend to disappear after an initial time of treatment, as we discussed in our dedicated post talking about pain in orthodontics.…

Braces Types And Prices: Dental Braces Guide And Opinions

Tim WatleyDental BraceLeave a Comment on Braces Types And Prices: Dental Braces Guide And Opinions

How do braces work?

Brace orthodontics is the most traditional method. We all know someone who at some point has carried these metal appliances in their mouth.

However, over the years this system has evolved to offer more comfortable, efficient and aesthetic treatments, giving rise to many types of braces. Still, the way dental braces straighten teeth is basically the same:

They are based on a support system – brackets – and a joining system – wires or arches. The brackets adhere to the tooth and are connected to each other by means of the metal arch.

Also, your orthodontist may put rubber bands on you in certain places to get your teeth to do a specific movement.

We must not confuse these elastic bands with the rubber bands that are placed on each bracket  and that hold the metal archwire in position.

The joint work of these devices exerts constant pressure on the teeth and jaw until little by little it brings them to the desired position.

Braces Types And Prices: Dental Braces Guide And Opinions

In the past the forces that were applied were more aggressive. It was thought that the greater the pressure exerted, the sooner the teeth would straighten.

To this day, a large body of research has shown that mild but constant forces are the best way to move teeth. This prevents harm to patients and considerably reduces discomfort and pain caused by excessive pressure.

What types of braces are there?

Currently there is a diversity of brands that have developed different systems of dental appliances, each with its advantages and disadvantages that differentiate them from the rest. The types of brackets are:

Metal brackets: conventional.

Transparent brackets: ceramic, sapphire, etc.

Self-ligating braces.

Lingual braces.

Metal braces

This type of braces were the first orthodontic appliances to exist . They are also the best known, since we all have someone we know who has used them.

Treatment with metal braces continues to give very good results, although it may take a little longer. But there is good news: the metal dental braces in use today are not the same as those used 20 years ago. The subject has evolved, a lot.

With technological advances, the designs have been changing to make them more comfortable and aesthetic. Today, the devices are more compact and slimmer. Outcome? They are less uncomfortable and decrease the possibility of causing damage to the mouth. 

Colored braces

One of the advantages of this type of braces is that you can customize them with elastic bands of the color you want . This is very common among children and adolescents. It gives them a unique and personal touch and makes them feel more comfortable with their image. The appliances remain the same color, what changes is the elastic band.

Clear braces

They are also known as cosmetic dental braces. This type of transparent brackets are similar to conventional ones and work through the same mechanism.

The difference is the material they are made of: these new materials are light in color or can even mimic the color of teeth. The bow can be metal or white. They are much more aesthetic thanks to their chameleon color.

Manufacturing materials are varied, but the most popular are: ceramics, sapphire brackets , polycarbonate -a type of plastic-.

Finally, there is the Damon Clear system that we will explain later, in the section on self-ligating brackets.…
