If you’ve been thinking about getting braces, then you most likely have some questions about what type to choose. This is a personal decision that you must live with for about two years so it’s best to get it right so you aren’t miserable the whole time.

Invisalign is a popular choice because these retainers are barely noticeable. They are comfortable to wear and esthetically pleasing. This is a good choice for those in professional jobs whose appearance is super important.

One thing that can help the whole process go smoother is to ask your orthodontist questions about the procedure. Look online and read there about the various types of braces. The more you know, the better prepared you’ll be. Make up your mind to enjoy this process and not be stressed about it.

Invisalign Clear Aligners are probably the easiest way to get your teeth straightened and get rid of spaces. They’re made of a special type of plastic that’s lightweight and easy to wear. The orthodontist will take molds of your mouth and teeth so the Invisalign device fits correctly.

With both types of braces, you will need to see the orthodontist every six to eight weeks to ensure that your teeth are moving properly in the right direction. Not everyone is a good candidate for Invisalign. Your orthodontist will let you know once he/she has examined you, whether Invisalign would be a good choice for you.

If you suffer from tooth pain, you may wonder if you need to visit a dentist. There are many reasons why a person experiences tooth pain and identifying your symptoms may help you choose the right dentist who will be able to address your issue.

Consider the following reasons why you may experience tooth pain.

Tooth decay – If you experience pain while eating, you may have a decayed tooth or cavity. If the pain your experiencing is near a tooth that has been previously filled, your filling may have broken away, further exposing your tooth.

Tooth abscess – A sharp shooting pain or throbbing can be due to a tooth abscess. This type of pain is aggravated by drinking hot or cold foods. Visiting a dentist immediately is advised as a tooth abscess can result in an infection.

Chipped or cracked teeth – A chipped or cracked tooth can cause pain while eating or drinking. A tooth can be damaged due to biting down on something hard, teeth grinding, or as a result of an accident. Cracked teeth can collect food particles, which will result in tooth decay over time.  

A loose tooth filling– Tooth fillings can come loose depending on your oral habits and the quality and application of your filling. If you feel tooth sensitivity where you have gotten a filling, consider a dental exam to identify the problem.

If you are experiencing tooth sensitivity, think about making an appointment with The Elite Dental Group. Their team has many years of experience in handling oral surgery and wisdom tooth extraction procedures with minimal pain and discomfort.
