How to Choose the Best Orthodontics as an Adult

If you didn’t get a chance to straighten your teeth as a child or a teenager, there’s no reason why you can’t take action as an adult. More and more, we’re seeing new advancements in adults orthodontic technology that makes it easier, cheaper, and more convenient (think Invisalign!) to get started on the path to a new, straight smile.

While not all children have the benefit of getting braces when they’re young, some do, but as we age, our teeth still shift a bit leading to dental malocclusions (misalignment). Our team at 3V Dental Associates in Port Washington specializes in clear adult braces with a minimal appearance, making it easy for you to get started.

While orthodontics and Invisalign fall under cosmetic dental services, they don’t have to carry the “cosmetic” price tag. Ask our team about our special Invisalign discounts and ways to help you make that smile affordable!

What are the Different Types of Dental Malocclusions?

There are many types of dental malocclusions, including:

• Crossbites
• Overcrowding
• Overbite
• Wide gaps
• Underbite
• Impactions

You may have one or more of these dental health issues, and that is why you must have a customized orthodontic treatment. The process of choosing the proper orthodontics for you will depend on several factors, including your types of misalignments, how much you can afford for the treatment and your personal preferences. It is also a good idea to think about what your orthodontist suggests so that you will understand the amount of care that is required for certain types of braces or clear aligners.

What Are the Types of Orthodontics Available?

Type 1: Traditional Metal Devices

traditional wire braces

In the past, there was only one type of orthodontic device, and you may remember seeing your friends wear traditional metallic braces on their teeth. These types of devices are still available today, but the good news is that the brackets are smaller and the wires are thinner. In addition, a computer software program will analyze your malocclusions to determine how the wires are placed on your teeth along with how the wires are tightened every few weeks. This can lead to a shorter treatment time than your friends had when they were younger. However, it is important to remember that children have softer alveolar bones in their teeth, so the pressure from the brackets will move teeth quickly. Adults have firmer bones in their gums, so it can take a longer amount of time to complete treatment. Affordability is one of the most important benefits from metal braces because other types of treatments can cost more. Caring for these traditional devices requires special care to avoid breaking the delicate wires or dislodging the metal brackets. You must consume a healthy diet, but you should also restrict certain foods that can damage the brackets or the wires. In addition, you must learn how to brush and floss carefully between the wires and the brackets.

Type 2: Clear Braces

Today, you can select clear orthodontic treatment, and these devices are made from plastic, porcelain or ceramic materials. These types of braces are perfect for adults who want to have a beautiful smile without having noticeable brackets and wires. Clear brackets and wires are also designed with computer software, and you must use caution to avoid damaging the items. In addition to having a list of foods that you cannot consume, you must also avoid artificial dyes or brightly colored foods and beverages that can stain the ceramic, porcelain or plastic materials of the wires and brackets. While flossing and brushing, you should select toothpaste, floss and mouthwash that won’t harm the brackets or the wires. An advantage from wearing clear braces is that you may feel less embarrassed about orthodontic treatment as an adult because the items are practically invisible.

Type 3: Self-ligating Devices

If you are a busy adult, then you may want to limit your visits to an orthodontist’s office when you need to straighten your teeth with devices that have wires. Damon braces are special types of devices that have numerous self-ligating brackets. You won’t need to cope with elastic o-rings that degrade or break, requiring you to replace the items. Without the o-rings, the wires can move easily through the brackets. This can make the items less uncomfortable on your teeth, reducing the discomfort in your jaw, gums and soft tissues of the mouth. A benefit of these devices is that the wires are made from lightweight metals such as titanium, nickel and copper. Caring for Damon devices is similar to caring for your regular braces, and you must also follow your orthodontist’s dietary guidelines to protect the items from damage.

Type 4: Lingual Braces

Today, it is also possible to have the brackets of your braces placed on the backs of your teeth. Many adults prefer this type of treatment because the brackets are nearly impossible for others to see. While this is a wonderful benefit, the process of adjusting to the brackets may become difficult because your tongue will touch the brackets while you talk and chew food. In addition, you may need to use extra care while performing oral hygiene because it is important to remove all of the food debris from the brackets that are located on the backs of your teeth. However, by using small adjustable mirrors, you can use flossing picks and other tools to dislodge the food debris. It is also a good idea to buy and use an oral irrigator that emits highly pressurized streams of water against your teeth along with the wires and the brackets, helping to keep your mouth clean.

Type 5: Invisalign Clear Aligners

invisalign port washington long island ny

When you have mild to moderate dental malocclusions, your dentist may recommend Invisalign clear aligners. One of the best benefits from aligners is that the items are invisible on your teeth when you care for the items properly. When you are able to wear aligners, you will receive 20 to 30 sets that are made in a series. Each set is designed in a different way to apply pressure against your poorly aligned teeth. You can wear each set of aligners for two weeks before switching to the next set. An important part of the treatment plan with Invisalign is wearing the aligners for most of the night and day. While the aligners are removable, if you don’t wear the devices enough, then your teeth will shift back into the wrong positions. You are permitted to remove the aligners while you brush and floss your teeth, making sure to clean the devices to keep the items invisible on your teeth. To protect the aligners, you should remove the devices while you chew food or drink beverages. Caring for Invisalign aligners is easy by using mild toothpaste to wash away any plaque along with making sure to insert and remove the items carefully. One of the advantages from Invisalign treatment is that you can remove the devices for special occasions such as a business meeting or an event such as a wedding. Clear Invisalign aligners are the most popular choice for adults.

Full Mouth Restoration and Reconstruction

What Can Patients Expect from a Full Mouth Restoration?

There are many components to the human mouth and each of these must work together in harmony for good oral health and proper function. When one of these components is damaged, malformed or unhealthy, the overall health and normal function of the mouth can become compromised. Since the mouth is the gateway to the body, taking care of it is a must.

When there are multiple oral health issues in place, individuals have the option of seeking a full mouth restoration. With a full mouth reconstruction performed by our experience cosmetic prosthodontist dentists here in Port Washington, individuals can see improved function and a greatly improved smile appearance. If your smile does not function properly or you have multiple cosmetic concerns that are making you feel embarrassed about the appearance of your smile, a smile makeover is an option for treatment.

According to The American Dental Association:

If you are interested in dental implants or full mouth reconstruction, it’s a good idea to discuss it carefully with your dentist first. If you are in good general health this treatment may be an option for you. In fact, your health is more of a factor than your age. You may be medically evaluated by a physician before any implant surgery is scheduled.

What Is a Full Mouth Restoration / Construction?

With so many different components of a smile, it stands to reason issues can arise. Whether a person is born with abnormalities and oral health concerns or they develop over time, a full dental reconstruction is beneficial. With this process, individuals can ensure all of their dental needs will be taken care of properly, whether they be cosmetic or functional in nature.

Reconstructive dentistry involves multiple procedures and treatments that are carried out in succession, to improve the function and appearance of a person’s smile. Although each of these treatments can be performed alone, multiple issues with a person’s smile will likely require a full mouth restoration. The following are some of the treatments involved in a smile makeover.

  • Replace missing teeth
  • Repair teeth that have been damaged
  • Correct the jaw alignment
  • Treat gum disease
  • Treat oral diseases
  • Replace older dental work

There are several branches of prosthodontal dentistry involved in a smile makeover. The steps involved are carried out precisely to ensure the final result offers better function and a brilliantly beautiful smile. The following are involved in the reconstruction.

  • Implant dentistry
  • Cosmetic dentistry
  • Restorative dentistry
  • Neuromuscular dentistry
  • Orthondontics
  • Bruxism therapy

Some individuals may only need a couple of these services, while others may require multiple procedures to ensure their smile is made whole again. Each and every smile transformation process is custom-made for the unique needs of the patient. There is no one-size-fits-all approach that can be offered by our local Port Washington dentists.

While a smile reconstruction and makeover will use some of the same types of dental procedures for correction, they are carried out for different reasons. A makeover is done for mostly cosmetic reasons while reconstruction is carried out to return normal function to the mouth. Typically, reconstructions are more involved and require a lengthier process to accomplish.

Full Mouth Restoration / Reconstruction Process

The first step in the process is to schedule a comprehensive examination by our prosthodontist. During this examination, your dentist will carefully check the condition of the teeth, gums, and jawbone. All of the components of the mouth will be checked for signs of damage, malformation, or disease.

The dentist will make note of any cavities, tooth damage, or loose teeth. They will check all dental appliances to see if they need to be replaced. The dentist will determine if their patient will need any crowns, veneers, inlays, onlays, or bridges. The way the teeth align and how the jaws meet will also be noted, so the dentist can determine if any orthodontic intervention will be needed. It often takes a concerted and combined effort to get the best final results.

The gums will be carefully examined to check for any signs of gum disease. When the health of the gums is deteriorating, the teeth will not be healthy and could be lost. When pockets of infection develop, tooth loosening often occurs. As a part of the smile makeover, gum disease must be treated if it is present.

The temporomandibular joints will be checked for wear and tear. A stable bite is crucial for preventing uneven wearing of the teeth and for preventing pain while biting and chewing. In some cases, surgery is necessary to replace the joints when they become overly worn. Dental appliances can also be used to ease discomfort and correct the alignment.

Aesthetics is a big part of a full mouth restoration. Everyone wants to have a beautiful smile they can feel confident showing off. The size, shape, and color of the teeth can be modified with various dental treatments. The dentist will check the appearance of the teeth and how they match with the gums and lips. Aesthetic changes can be made in many ways to bring about a more beautiful smile.

Aside from a full examination, the dentist will take X-rays, make impressions, and take photographs. These play a big part in charting the treatment plan for the restoration process. The dentist will take all of the garnered information into account when deciding on the right methods of treatment. Those who are wondering how long does the process take will find answers to their questions at the consultation.

Is Full Mouth Reconstruction / Restoration Painful?

Aside from wondering about the price and the length of time involved, many people are concerned about feeling pain. With today’s advancements in dental care, procedures are more comfortable than ever before and healing times are greatly reduced.

Using sedation dentistry, individuals can be kept comfortable at all times, so their procedure can be carried out with as little discomfort as possible. Most people are able to continue their normal routine as they go through the steps involved in a full mouth restoration.

How Much Can a Full Mouth Restoration Cost?

There are many factors that will determine the price of a full mouth restoration. Obviously, the more treatments that are needed, the higher the cost. Many people who go through smile restorations will need work done to every tooth in the mouth.

Prices vary across the nation and depending on the dental office, and most cases are unique and customized to each of our dental patients. Some of the cost of the treatments may be taken care of by the patient’s dental insurance plan. In most cases, insurance will pay for some costs that are necessary for protecting the health of the mouth and restoring function. Dental insurance typically does not pay for any cosmetic dental treatments unless the patient has purchased a special plan.

For those who are concerned about the cost of a smile reconstruction, inquire with our dental office regarding payment plan options that can help to ease the financial burden. Before a patient becomes overly concerned about the cost, they should first discover their options, so they can learn about the steps that will need to be taken.

How Long Can I Expect the Mouth Restoration Process to Take?

The smile reconstruction process varies from patient to patient. These restorations are tailored to each patient. Most individuals will need more than one treatment, depending on the severity of their functional and cosmetic dental concerns.

The vast majority of 3V Dental’s full mouth restoration patients should plan on their reconstruction or makeover taking about one month. From that point, our dental team just needs to make adjustments to ensure you’re comfortable with your new smile. Orthodontic and surgical interventions can increase the time it will take for the process to be complete.

Patience is important because the steps can sometimes seem slow in the process, but each one is bringing an individual closer to their desired end result.

Once your dentist has drawn up the plan of care for their patient, they will be better able to tell how long the process will take. Although it can be lengthy, most people do not mind the wait times because they know their smile is going to look amazing. Simply viewing the before and after photos gives people the drive to keep going towards reaching their goal.

Five of the Most Common Cosmetic Dental Procedures

Here at 3V Dental Associates in Port Washington, we pride ourselves on the ability to improve everyone’s smile, one appointment at a time. While we champion visiting our dental team at least once a year for your annual dental cleaning and checkup, we’re proud to offer some of the best cosmetic dentistry services in Port Washington and Long Island!

Cosmetic dentistry is a form of professional dental care that focuses on improving your smile. In most cases, cosmetic dentistry is an elective service rather than an essential dental service, but many cosmetic dental services provide restorative benefits as well!

Below are just a few cosmetic dentistry services we provide at our Port Washington dental office.

Inlays and Onlays

dental inlays and onlays port washington ny

Inlays and onlays are also known as indirect filings. Indirect filings are made in a dental lab, and are used in cases when the tooth can no longer support a traditional dental filing.

Inlays and onlays are made from composite resin and attached to the tooth with dental cement. This form of cosmetic dentistry provides support to help strengthen and restore the teeth, while being proactive against further tooth decay.

Bonding

Bonding, or composite bonding, is a commonly used cosmetic dental procedure when repair of a decayed, damaged, or discolored tooth is needed. Bonding allows for your dentist to drill out your tooth decay, then they’ll apply the composite onto your tooth’s surface. From there, your cosmetic dentist shapes or sculpts the composite into the correct shape. Essentially, this form of bonding covers the damage to your tooth and provides the cosmetic appearance of a healthy tooth.

Did you know that dental bonding is one of the more cost effective cosmetic dentistry procedures looking to reduce the negative appearance of the results of tooth decay, or chipped or cracked teeth?

Cosmetic Dental Veneers

Dental veneers are most commonly manufactured from ceramic, and provide a replica of your natural teeth. While veneers are manufactured and not natural teeth, they provide a practically spot-on replica of your natural teeth.

Some of the most common issues resolved by dental veneers are crooked or misaligned teeth, cracked or damaged enamel, or repairing gaps in one’s smile.

Teeth Whitening

One of the most common and cost effective forms of cosmetic dentistry is teeth whitening. We would all love to have a brighter, whiter smile, and 3V Dental makes that happen for hundreds of Port Washington teeth whitening patients each year!

At 3V Dental in Port Washington, our dental team uses Zoom! Teeth Whitening to bring your smile back to life.

Zoom! is a revolutionary tooth whitening procedure. It’s safe effective and fast, very fast. In just over an hour, your teeth will be dramatically whiter. The convenience of Zoom! in comparison to days of using strips or wearing trays makes it the perfect choice for the busy individual. The Zoom! Whitening procedure is simple. It begins with a short preparation to isolate your lips and gums. The clinician then applies the proprietary Zoom! whitening gel that is activated by a specially designed light. Teeth typically become at least six to ten shades whiter, sometimes more. A fluoride treatment completes the procedure. You’ll be amazed with the results. In most cases, teeth get even whiter the first few days after the procedure. Trays with gel are recommended afterward for maximum whitening and maintenance.

Cosmetic Dental Implants

Dental implants are a cosmetic dental procedure that’s used in the event there is tooth loss. Your cosmetic dentist here at 3V Dental inserts a small titanium screw into the jaw at the location of the missing tooth, which will be your anchor for your new dental implant. Dental implants are designed to match your current teeth, so they don’t stand out by looking overly fake.

The Importance in Getting Your Bite Right!

There are many reasons for straightening your teeth. Most want their teeth to be straight strictly for cosmetic reasons. It is always good for your self-esteem to look your best, but there are many more reasons to have straight teeth then simply vanity. A correct bite can lead to an overall healthier body. The Invisalign system is an excellent way to achieve a healthier and more attractive smile. These amazing clear braces are hardly noticeable, and they can straighten your teeth comfortably and conveniently. At 3V Dental Associates, a Port Washington dentist, we’re proud to offer Invisalign as one of our many cosmetic dentist services.  The following are just a few of the benefits you’ll find once you try the Invisalign system.

A Better Bite

Straight teeth provide an over-all better bite. Having an overbite or an under bite can create excessive wear on the teeth over time. It can also lead to problems with your jaw or even your breathing. In addition, teeth that are crowded, crooked, or jetting out can cause red, swollen, bleeding gums. This is often the result of not being able to properly brush and floss.

Healthier Teeth

Straight teeth are naturally healthier. They are less likely to develop cavities, fractures from uneven wear, or become discolored because they are easier to brush. The gums will be healthier too as flossing is simpler. This means you are less likely to suffer from periodontal disease. Teeth that are straight and healthy won’t be as sensitive to heat and cold either, and the risk of expensive and painful dental problems is lowered.

Improved Self-Esteem

Many of us still want to straighten our teeth just to feel better about ourselves. It may sound superficial, but your appearance truly does matter. A bright and healthy smile can lead to advantages such as better job opportunities, the ability to make more money, and being able to attract people into your life more easily. Think of your smile as a reflection of who you are.

Potential for a Longer Life

One of the best reasons to try Invisalign is that you could potentially live a longer life. People that floss every day may live an additional seven years longer. Flossing is easy if there is room to floss. Crowded and crooked teeth can make it an impossible task. A study done by the American Journal of Cardiology in 2009 shows that those suffering from gum disease will have a 24 – 35% greater chance of experiencing coronary artery disease. Straighter teeth are easier to brush and floss which reduces the chance of gum disease.

Reduce Fractures

Teeth that protrude can break easily from sports related injuries, accidental falls, and rough housing. By using the convenience and comfort of the Invisalign system to straighten your teeth and reposition protruding teeth back in the mouth, you will be less likely to fracture them. Of course, a mouth guard is always recommended when playing sports to keep your smile protected.

Missing a Tooth? You Have Options

If you lost a tooth due to extensive decay, infection, or trauma, then you may wonder just what your tooth replacement options are. Thankfully, there are many ways a cosmetic dentist can replace a single missing tooth, so there is likely a solution that is perfect for you.

Read on to learn about the three most popular options for single tooth replacement and how they work.

Dental Implants

dental implant restoration port washington ny

Dental implants are the optimal single missing tooth replacement option. After your dentist replaces your missing tooth with a dental implant, you will look and feel like you have your natural tooth back.

To install a dental implant, your dentist will first insert a post into your jaw that will act as a replacement for the original tooth’s root. Then, he or she will attach a false tooth called a pontic to the implant post.

Your dental implant will stay in your mouth permanently and can be cared for just as if it were a natural tooth.

A Composite Bridge

dental bridge port washington ny

There are several types of dental bridges, and composite bridges are great options when just a single tooth needs to be replaced. Unlike a traditional bridge that would require the two teeth adjacent to the missing tooth to be prepared and crowned to help them support the pontic that will replace the missing tooth, little to no preparation of these adjacent teeth is needed when your dentist installs a composite bridge.

While composite bridges can vary slightly in design, many consist of a false tooth and two composite “wings” that are simply adhered to the backsides of the two teeth adjacent to the missing tooth.

Like dental implants, a composite bridge will stay in your mouth permanently and will not need to be removed at night.

A Removable Bridge

If you would like a tooth replacement option that you can remove any time you would like to, such as when you are sleeping at night, then a removable bridge is the best tooth replacement option for you.

Removable bridges are also often called removable partial dentures, so don’t become confused if you hear the two terms used interchangeably. They not only enhance the cosmetic appearance of your smile, but also help you chew your food properly while you are eating.

A removable partial denture to replace one tooth would be made of one false tooth, or pontic, a partial pink acrylic denture palette, and anchors that attach the denture to your existing teeth when you are wearing it.

This is also a good option if you would like a temporary tooth replacement device to wear until you make the final decision as to which permanent tooth replacement option is best for you.

If you are missing one tooth, then realize that there are many single tooth replacement options today that can help you begin to love your smile again. Contact our Port Washington cosmetic dental office today to schedule your consultation!

Advantages of Porcelain Veneers

When it comes to dental terminology, most patients have heard the phrase dental veneers, yet most have no idea about what this restorative, cosmetic dental procedure entails. Dental veneers placed by a cosmetic dentist can not only give you beautiful teeth, they also have a number of advantages over similar types of cosmetic procedures.

What are Porcelain Veneers?

These wafer-thin, custom-made made shells are designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve patient appearance. Your dentist will bond these laminates to your teeth to change their color, shape, size or length. They can be used in conjunction with other treatments, including crowns, bridges, dental implants, teeth whitening and more to achieve a smile makeover.

How Porcelain Veneers are Used

This cosmetic restorative procedure can correct multiple flaws that include a chipped tooth or a cracked tooth, along with shape, color and minor positioning defects. A host of flaws, such as discoloration, staining and more may all be corrected. When manufactured from the same mix of porcelain as other dental restoratives, such as crowns, implants and bridges, a veneer with match them exactly, giving your teeth a uniform color.

Advantages of Porcelain Veneers Over Other Procedures

Multiple advantages come with a dental veneer over other types of cosmetic dental procedures used to correct the appearance of teeth. They may be used to fix small surface areas on a single tooth or in many locations at the same time, according to your goals. Here are some of the benefits:

Quick With Short Recovery

Advances in technology now allow allow this procedure to be done in a couple of visits or even in one day, in some cases. Little recovery time is needed. Once a porcelain veneer has been placed and the anesthetic has worn off, you can resume normal function almost immediately.

Customized Veneers to Fit Your Teeth

This dental restoration is customized in size, shape and color to match your other teeth so they are as natural looking as possible. Unlike your natural teeth, they are resistant to staining, so you will keep your white smile. In addition, less of the surface of the tooth or teeth needs removal than in resin bonding, preserving the health of the teeth involved.

Long Lasting

When this restoration is done properly, it not only strengthens teeth but also lasts 10 to 15 years with proper care. Patients should follow recommendations from their dentist for best results.
