Orthodontic Treatment: Improve your dental and overall health




Did you know that crooked and misaligned dentition is more than an aesthetic problem? If left untreated, it will lead to plaque build-up and calcular deposits. This will give bacteria an entry point, the gingival sulcus. This area of gum is called free gingiva and it is not attached to your dentition.

If you use the Bass tooth brushing technique, you will notice that you are told to start at the gumline and bring the brush to the incisal edge. This method and flossing can more or less eradicate plaque. If you have crooked or overlapping teeth, however, there may be some areas that will not receive proper debridement.

Properly aligned teeth will lessen your chances of experiencing early tooth loss while improving the aesthetic appearance of your mouth. Dr. Seth Newman, your orthodontist serving Long Island, has a high level of experience with all types of malocclusions. The span of treatment will depend on the severity of the case. On average, you will need to maintain your appliance for approximately 2 years. It may take longer for patients with crowded dentition in comparison to those with large diastemas or spaces between their teeth.

Maintaining you braces is a relatively easy task. Remember to floss your teeth at least twice daily to avoid plaque and visit Dr. Newman regularly for orthodontic adjustments. Overlapped or crowded dentition may require the use of spacers. Dr. Newman will teach you how to insert the tiny rubber bands in between your dentition, if necessary.

You can have that smile you have always wanted. All you need to do is invest in orthodontic treatment with a specialist who has a great deal of expertise in this field.

Straighten Teeth Without Braces

If you have crooked teeth or dentition with large spaces in between, you may have been teased about your abnormal occlusion growing up. As we get older, we think that we have to kiss our dream of straighter teeth goodbye. Many patients think that orthodontic treatments are exclusively for teenagers. That is not entirely true. Sure, many start their foray to straighter teeth at a younger age because our supporting structures are more pliable at this period.

For patients who do not wish to undergo traditional orthodontic treatment, Invisalign in Long Island NY is a great alternative. Your journey begins with a consultation with our experienced Invisalign provider. In order to assess your bite, an impression of your teeth will be made. After which, a computer generated Invisalign machine will study your occlusion and create a series of clear aligners to fix the abnormalities.

Extractions may be necessary for patients with large dentition and small jaws prior to beginning treatment, especially if the teeth exhibit severe crowding. Invisalign therapy can also be utilized on relapsed bites of people who had braces but failed to wear their follow-up appliances religiously. On average, a treatment will usually consist of 18 to 25 clear trays or aligners. The patient will be asked to wear the appliance all day, except during meals.

Patients are advised to remove the Invisalign trays while drinking beverages that can lead to staining. The trays should be removed when drinking tea, coffee, red wine and juices that contain high amounts of artificial coloring. Your orthodontist will advise you to change the tray approximately every two weeks. The slow and gentle movement caused by the aligner will cause the teeth to move into the desired position.

Many patients have reported seeing a drastic improvement somewhere between the 7th to 12th set of trays. Older individuals with normal alveolar bone density are also candidates for Invisalign treatment. Give yourself a reason to smile. Contact Newman Orthodontics at 516-626-2060 and ask about how this clear breakthrough in technology can transform your smile.
