Get a Great Smile With Invisible Braces

Wearing braces used to involve large, ugly metal pieces stuck to your teeth. Many adults have rejected the idea of wearing braces because they felt they would look unprofessional or unattractive. Now there is a better way. I have been using invisible braces in my dental clinic for many years, and this blog will show you the variety of options you have for getting straighter teeth without traditional braces. Braces can now be completely clear, can be adhered to the back of you teeth, or can be used in the form of an invisible tray that fits over your teeth. Find out here how invisible braces can work for you.

Understanding Two Types Of Dental Implant Pain And How They Are Treated

Dental implants can take some time to heal, and you may feel some pain during the healing period. However, pain and soreness should subside and you should have a pain- and stress-free device afterwards. If you do feel some pain after the implant procedure, then this may be a sign of a serious issue. Keep reading to understand a few problems that the pain may indicate.

Small Jaw Fractures

Dental Implantation involves the exact placement of a dental implant root. The root is twisted down into the jaw only after a hole is created in the bone. The twisting is slow and controlled, and temperatures around the implant area are maintained with the help of continuous sprays of water. The careful implantation procedure is followed to help reduce potential bone problems. These issues include fractures as well as the death of the bone tissue in the region. If all goes well, new bone cells will grow around the implant root once the healing period starts.

You will need to be incredibly careful during the initial healing stage. If you place even a little pressure on the implant root, the device may break free from the jaw. This can create a weak and moveable implant root. In some cases, the weak bone may be easily fractured after the fact. Also, if you place intense pressure on the implant, you can force the bone cells to break away from the device even after it has healed. 

If you feel deep jaw pain when you bite on the implant, speak with your dental professional immediately. The crown tooth may need to be removed for some time to allow the jaw to heal properly or you may need a splint or other device to keep you from placing a great deal of stress on the jaw.

Tissue Infections

Dental implants are created so they are as close to the natural teeth as possible. While this is true, the structure of the device will be missing some of the important components that a natural tooth will have. For example, the implant will not have the soft tissue attachment that sits at the base of the crown and extends down the root of the tooth. This tissue helps to prevent bacteria from moving down and around the base of the tooth. 

Without the extra tissue, bacteria may work their way farther under the gums than normal. This can create deep gum pocket formations as well as deep gum infections. The infections can cause some bone deterioration, and this can reduce the strength of the implant. If you notice tissue pain around the implant, then a deep cleaning can be performed, make sure to see your dentist about this.
