January 3rd, 2012

Inspirational Pro Surfer and Damon System patient Bethany Hamilton Encourages Others to Smile through Adversity

There are not many people who don't know about Bethany Hamilton and her incredible story of her shocking shark attack as a young teen in 2003.  Since then, Bethany has gone on to inspire millions due to her amazing determination and attitude. She shares her astonishing story in her bestselling autobiography Soul Surfer which in April 2011 was released as a major motion picture. Not only does Bethany continue to compete in the ASP World Professional Surfing Tour, but she tours the world to share her story of triumph and to prove that with faith and belief anything is possible.

“After being treated with Damon Braces I couldn't be happier. The results of having braces not only improved my smile, it boosted my confidence” – Bethany Hamilton

After the shark attack Bethany will tell you she struggled through many trials and tribulations, which took a toll on her confidence and self esteem. When asked, Bethany will tell you that "after being treated with Damon Braces I couldn't be happier. The results of having braces not only improved my smile, it boosted my confidence." Now, with help from Damon System braces, Bethany is able to smile through adversity.

Damon® System official endorser, Bethany Hamilton relied on the trans-formative Damon System to quickly and comfortably improve the health and beauty of her smile. Known for triumphantly overcoming a horrific shark attack, Hamilton now helps to promote the Damon System and encourage teens, children and adults of all ages to smile through adversity, regardless of the challenges life throws their way.

"Smiles are a blessing and an infectious tool for spreading happiness and bringing joy to others," said Bethany. "The Damon System transformed my smile, allowing me to confidently share my story of perseverance and encourage others undergoing adversity. I'm glad to be a part of the Damon System team and I look forward to sharing the positive changes and incredible results that I experienced with this unique orthodontic treatment."

Bethanys' Damon System Story

Bethany began orthodontic treatment at age 14 for a severe underbite with significant crowding and a narrow arch. She also had an open bite, which means there was open space between her upper and lower teeth when her jaw was closed. These types of cases are typically among the most difficult to treat and often require surgery. Bethany relied on the Damon System instead of traditional braces for her treatment.

The light pressure used in the Damon System stimulates broad, natural arch development and typically delivers results up to 25 percent faster than traditional braces, according to clinical studies. While traditional braces require elastic ties to hold wires in place, these ties can accumulate bacteria and often require "tightening" that can hinder tooth movement and prolong treatment.

In contrast, the Damon System combines "tieless" braces with high-tech memory-shaped wires that don't need to be "tightened." Damon System braces are easier to keep clean, which promotes better patient hygiene throughout treatment. Additionally, treatment with the Damon System rarely requires tooth extractions and frees patients from the use of headgear, rapid palatal expanders and other invasive appliances. The cost of orthodontic treatment with the Damon System is comparable to that of traditional braces.

Bethany is one of more than three million Damon System patients who have achieved incredible results over the last 10 years. From adults to teens, today's healthcare consumers want fast, comfortable and virtually invisible orthodontic care. With the Damon System, orthodontists can deliver on all three of these essential patient requests while also producing a remarkable smile. The Damon System continues to improve smiles and Bethany is an awesome brand ambassador. Her positive attitude, determination and character continue to inspire countless people.

Damon System Donate to the Smile for a Lifetime Foundation

In honor of National Orthodontic Health Month, Ormco, the makers of Damon System Braces donated one dollar to the Smile for a Lifetime Foundation for each new "like" of the Damon System Braces Facebook page this was limited to the first 5,000 people who participate through the month of October. The Smile for a Lifetime Foundation is a non-profit, charitable organization comprised of local chapters throughout the U.S. of which Wilson Orthodontics is one. Its mission is to create self-confidence and quality orthodontic treatment for patients who may not have the opportunity to achieve a beautiful, straight smile without financial assistance. Both Bethany Hamilton and the Damon System are making this joint Facebook charity event possible.

Our Gainesville Orthodontic Practice

December 20th, 2011

Our Gainesville Orthodontic Practice

Orthodontic is the field of dentistry that deals with the study and treatment of improper bites. These diseases are caused because of a variety of reasons. The main reasons that seem common to most of the patients have improper growth of the teeth and the dislocation of the jaws. In the past, this wasn't considered a disease. People with improper teeth have to deal with their problem in the past because the abnormal growth or uneven teeth weren't seen as the big problem. This field of dentistry was not acknowledged until the dentist named Edward Angel worked on it. He was considered the father of the orthodontic field.

Now this field is widely recognized by the dentists and medical bodies. It is considered a separate specializing field in dentistry. Much work and research has been done regarding the diseases the orthodontic problems cause. The invention of computers has made the treatment quite easy and understandable for the dentists and the patients. Now much of the orthodontic treatment is done by using these advanced technological tools.

The most common orthodontic treatment used by the specialist is called braces. In this type of treatment, a wire is placed between the teeth to position them into the desired or right posture. The time of this treatment varies from patient to patients. There is more than one type of braces available with the orthodontic specialist. The type of braces recommended by the dentist depends upon the type of problem the patient has.

In the start, people were afraid to go under such treatment because it was costly and second the braces looked odd when inserted in the mouth. After, the results started coming out the thinking of people changed. Now more people are willing to undergo an orthodontic treatment even though it is still relatively expensive.

A proper orthodontic treatment can change the whole facial structure of an individual. Straight and aligned teeth offer many benefits to an individual apart from external beauty. An aligned tooth helps in good grinding of food and thus keeps the digestive system in proper condition. In orthodontic treated patients, the level of mouth diseases decreases too because it is easier to keep the mouth clean once the teeth are at their proper position. With such a huge success of the orthodontic field, many dentists are now choosing this field for their specialization. Furthermore, with the money involved in the field the number of orthodontic practices in increasing in the world. There are many institutes in the world which are providing the orthodontic practices to people. These institutes have a variety of products to offer in order to attract the patients.

The orthodontic treatment is quite expensive. The institutes have to compete hard for the orthodontic practices and attracting their customers. The best orthodontic practices are the one which have the most experience in the field. Along with the experience, another important factor is the application of new technology in the treatment. The orthodontic practices which do not change with the changing technologies in the market become obsolete. So the dentistry institutes or the private dentists who are providing the orthodontic practices have to be updated with the changing technologies and advancements in the field.

One of the most famous orthodontic institutes is in the United Kingdom and is called the Orthodontic Practices (smile with confidence). This Institute is considered the best in providing the orthodontic practices because there have been in this field since 1947. Such a long experience in this field has made them an expert and pioneers in devising many new ways of orthodontic treatment. The owner of the Institute was appointed the president of the British Orthodontic Society. Along with the owner, the whole team of the Institute has the relevant experience in the dentistry field. The staff of the Institute is selected on a specific criterion that is their knowledge and dedication to the treatment of orthodontic diseases. Furthermore, the nurse staff in the orthodontic practices is given special training for the care and handling of their patients during the treatment.

There are many other institutes in the whole world which are providing the best orthodontic practices to their customers. The orthodontic practices should be customized according to the needs of the patients. If the patient is comfortable during the treatment only, then the whole orthodontic practices will be considered successful. If the patient is not comfortable during the treatment, then he or she can leave the process in the middle and can give a bad impression to the orthodontic practices of a dentist.

Orthodontic practices are hard to start. The dentist who wants to specialize in this field has to get registered with the local dentistry society for the orthodontic practice. Registration is necessary for every orthodontic doctor because it will certify to the patients that he or she is an experienced and knowledgeable in the orthodontic field. After the certification, the next important step is to have the proper equipment to start the practice. The orthodontic treatment is quite expensive because the equipment used in the treatment is quite costly. So having a proper financial backup is quite necessary to start the practices. After the equipment comes the experience. An orthodontic doctor can get the experience if he or she first starts with some public hospital as their internee. After, they have handled many patients with such disease in the hospital under the supervision of their teacher only then they will have the experience and courage to handle the private cases on their own.

There are many institutes, which offer orthodontic practices, but they don't have the registration or an up-to-date data about the treatments. Such institutes attract their patients by offering low cost orthodontic treatments, but these institutes are quite unsafe if opted for such treatment. They are risky because they don't promise great results and second they use old methods, which are considered outdated in the market. So an orthodontic practice has to be genuine for the patients to benefit from the treatment.

I just got braces...Now what?

December 9th, 2011

We love when patients ask us that question! Now that you’re wearing braces, it’s just as important to maintain a good oral hygiene regimen as you did prior to your orthodontic treatment.

Braces are known to trap food particles and make it difficult to brush or remove plaque, which is why Dr. Ron Wilson and Dr. Svetlana Lekht and our team at Wilson Orthodontics recommend that you brush and floss after every meal. We also encourage you to use a proxabrush to help with the smaller areas where your toothbrush doesn’t reach. We encourage the use of fluoride rinse as well; just ask us for a recommendation!

When your braces are initially placed, your teeth are likely to be very sensitive. You may experience discomfort for up to 3 or 5 days, which is why we encourage you to eat soft foods during that time. Remember, the less pressure you put on your teeth, the less discomfort you will have.

You may also be thinking, “Okay, so what can I eat?” We would encourage you to avoid eating sticky, hard, crunchy or chewy snacks that can stick to your teeth.

Drs. Wilson and Lekht and team will tell you it’s crucial to regularly check your braces for bent or loose wires and brackets. In the event of a loose/broken wire or bracket, please call our office immediately to schedule an appointment for repair.

Lastly, in addition to visiting Wilson Orthodontics during your orthodontic treatment for adjustments, you should visit your dentist for professional check-ups and teeth cleaning appointments about every six months, or as recommended by your dentist.

Questions? Please let us know below or on our Facebook page. You may also give us a call!

Orthodontics for Adults in Gainesville GA

November 22nd, 2011

Orthodontics for Adults in Gainesville GA

Disrupted facial growth? Irregular tooth appearance? Do you feel embarrassed when you smile? Are you conscious about your looks just because your teeth are not perfectly aligned like your friends? You want your teeth to look attractive and have a charming smile? You don’t have to worry now because a solution to your problems lies in Orthodontics and with an professional Orthodontist.

Orthodontics is the sub-branch of dentistry which has being studied as a special discipline for the first time by Edward Hartley Angle, born in June 1, 1855. He solved the problem of millions of people worldwide. The field has gained immense importance in the past few years in dentistry and now being taught at post graduate level in almost all countries.

What is the basic tool of Orthodontics which has so much potential that can change the entire jaw appearance? Yes, it’s braces which is the basic tool used for treating people having problems as mentioned above. It’s used to stop irregular movement of the jaw and teeth and used to fix the teeth arrangement and disrupted facial outgrowth. Braces are made up of stainless steel. In it wires interact to fix jaws by the insertion of wires into brackets. It comprises of bands, wires and some additional appliances depending upon the case situation. Braces are typically of three types: an Orthodontist uses the one which bests suits the situation. Now plastic is preferred over steel, though steel is better in most cases than plastic, but people find it more comfortable to wear plastic in their jaws rather then steel and according to them it looks better too.

The Orthodontists have to take every possible precaution while treating adults because in adults their bones and tissues don’t tend to come back to their original position as in the case of children. Further, the jaws are properly grown so, the treatment is impossible at times because in children it’s easy to direct the alignment of jaws but once the teeth are developed it’s difficult. Molars and incisors are already permanent and the bigger loss in treatment at this stage of life is that the Orthodontist has to remove permanent teeth to create space for the implantation of the brackets.

Once the treatment is being done then the patient has to wear them for certain period of time i.e. as long as the Orthodontist suggests. The other tool of the Orthodontist is retainers, which is the next step after braces to hold teeth back or keep them in aligned state in the future. The time period for which a person has to wear retainers depend entirely on the case. It can be worn for 6 months up to a year or more than a year, and it also can be worn part time like at night or few hours in a day. Teeth can stay erect without retainers as well but their a maximum possibility of  them returning to previous condition  so at times an Orthodontist will prescribe the retainers for many years after the treatment, reducing the chances of re-occurrence of  problem.

Orthodontists has made several financial policies so that everyone can afford the cost of treatment as it’s very expensive and can’t be afforded by a person earning with low income. They divide the payment into installments which is easier for everyone to deal with. The reason behind some adults ending up wearing braces is the improper or no treatment at an early age, irregular bites specially while sleeping. This is a very common problem seen among those adults who undergo tension, stress, and many other common problems. They bite their tongue while sleeping. At times, the case is very severe, brackets are not the only solution so the Orthodontist goes for overall surgery. They go for designing the whole structure of face mainly emphasising on teeth.

There is a whole treatment plan set up by the Orthodontists. First, they analysis the condition, takes an x-ray, ask a few questions to clear his queries. Then he goes about making a plan and schedules the treatment and shows it to the patient so that he can prepare themselves mentally as well as financially.

Abnormalities are divided into different classes. This difference is based on the arrangement of upper and lower jaws mainly the molars. Second class of abnormality in which the upper jaw is a bit outgrown, in women its considered as mark of beauty or you can say it becomes a tool of attraction but these do affect the overall structure and need to be treated. In the third class the lower jaws are out of proper alignment and outgrown which gives a stiff chin appearance and particularly considered as sign of beauty in males. Another category of abnormality includes congenital disabilities which includes inherited factors affecting the appearance of jaws.

Developmental abnormalities are also one of the major issues for orthodontics which is caused by the surrounding factors like tail swallowing, mouth breathing and crowded teeth. Because of all these abnormalities orthodontists has to consider upper and lower jaw both during treatment as they are interrelated. Environmental factors are the one which can be controlled. Children must not be allowed to suck their thumbs, mouth breathing should be avoided, care must be taken while swallowing. All this is possible through creating awareness. People aware of the thing that they must do and things they must not like keeping their sleeping posture correct to avoid mouth breathing. Awareness can be created through Internet, television, seminars etc.

Irregular teeth arrangement can also be attributed to improper diet at an early age. We commonly see people in non-developed countries with their teeth that are irregularly aligned and this is because of the lack of proper nutrition, and poor healthcare, and other major diseases. So this can be one of the factors too but as in civilized and developed countries food is not a problem but bad eating habits create all problems. Bad eating habits among adults are commonly seen like the intake of excessive junk food.

Orthodontics is becoming more important day by day and making progress around the globe. It should be encouraged in a country where it’s not developed yet and awareness should be created among people about the problems suffered due to ill-treatment or no treatment. Search programs should be launched to bring new treatments into discussions and to make the already existing one better. There are several organization working around the globe to make progress in this field and to help people around the world. Many organizations and foundation have been established in United States Of America which are striving day and night for the greater cause and to bring good to mankind.

Orthodontic Treatment in Gainesville GA

November 15th, 2011

Orthodontic Treatment in Gainesville GA

Personality has a very big impact on people. Take personality, there are many things to include, for example wearing nice clothes, talking politely, sharing smiles, having good humor and being intelligent. Personality can make a person successful in every aspect of life. Having a brighter and beautiful smile plays a very important role in a person’s life. However, what if one doesn’t have that kind of smile? Beautiful teeth are the signature of a perfect smile. Many people all over the world have a problem of uneven teeth. Which makes their smile not so attractive, and they feel shy or stay low key at parties and other social occasions.

The solution to the problem is available in the world which is far advanced and can be availed by anyone. The treatment is called Orthodontic Treatment. This treatment has a long history, as the problem existed for many centuries. However, in 18th century, this problem was discussed and scholars said that the problem was curable. In the 19th century, braces were invented and introduced in to the market. After a period of time, the technology got more advanced the braces became more effective and economical.

Orthodontic Treatment is used for straightening teeth, alignment of teeth and alignment of the jaw. These problems can be seen in any age group. Newborn babies can have these problems as well as adults. This treatment can help all the age groups who have this problem. The alignment of teeth make dental problems a lot less. Alignments of the jaws will help teeth to be cleaned all the time and make a smile more attractive. Many people ask this question; How we will they be able to know what orthodontic treatment they will need? So here are some symptoms that will help to understand who needs Orthodontic Treatment.

If one has the front teeth that lie forward over lower teeth. If one has the lower teeth lie forward over the front teeth. If one has the abnormal biting like, upper teeth don’t come down to the lower teeth. If one has big gaps between teeth and use filings all the time. One has teeth over other teeth. These are some of the symptoms of orthodontic disease, and if he/she feels that they have them then they should consult a good orthodontist. There are different types of treatments available which orthodontists will diagnose, and which Orthodontic Treatment should be opted for.

There are three types of Orthodontic Treatment. One is preventive treatment, second is interceptive treatment and third is comprehensive treatment. There are some fixed instruments used to treat the problem, and some are removable instruments. In fixed instruments most commonly used instrument is braces.

There are five types of braces available, ceramic braces, metal braces, sapphire braces, Invisalign Braces and Lingual braces. These braces have a different quality and different material used in braces. Metal braces are the most commonly used braces in the market, as they are cheaper and can be afforded by anyone.

Normally orthodontic treatment takes 19 to 36 months as a whole depending on the problem. Time plays an important role in the treatment. As they say, “the sooner the better” for the treatment of dental problem as it is always a long process. We need our mouths to work all the time, whether we are talking or eating food. Every moment a person needs his or her mouth to work in perfect order. When people are about to go through the orthodontic treatment, they usually ask about the time period and get reluctant to the time period an orthodontist is suggesting. Once the treatment is started one should know that this is a time taking process but the results are excellent, and you will eventually walk away from the problem for a life time. In childhood, if the problem is being detected by the parents, and they consult with a good orthodontist, the problem will be cured in less time, as the bones are not fully shaped of a child.  An orthodontist can help a child and The American Association of Orthodontists recommend age 7 for their first orthodontic appointment. This early age can be easy to handle, as children are more interested in playing rather than seeing their self in a mirror.

The bones are softer and can be easily mold. In adulthood orthodontic treatment takes a little longer time then childhood, as the bones are strong and teeth are already placed. Now orthodontist have to remold the teeth and the jaw, which is a time taking job and especially teen-age children are not happy having braces on. However, now days there is a new terminology introduced in the market called Accelerated Orthodontic Treatment, in which orthodontists says that they will fast track the treatment, and it will give a result in less than a year. Everybody who is unaware of the side effects will go for the accelerated treatment, but every treatment has its effects on the body. Changing the size and the space of the teeth needs time and when you don’t give the required time to the treatment, many problems can occur in the healing process. This fast track treatment is still arguable and needs more research on it.

In cosmetic dentistry, all the problems related to teeth are being addressed. Orthodontists can transform the outlook of a person. Whitening or bleaching the teeth, bonding, dental bridging, veneers and gum lifts are being done by the orthodontists. Problem of bad smell, snoring and other mouth problems are determined by addressing dental problems. Many patients don’t even know the problem they are having. They are being treated in by the wrong doctors, and they use different products available in the markets which are not useful for their dental problems. Many people do not go to the orthodontists because they think they are more costly than a normal doctor. They pay for different products time to time again and do not get the required results, so it is better to pay once to get rid of the problem then paying for the low-quality products and spending money on them repeatedly. By applying different products without understanding their results people increase the ratio of the problem they are having. Orthodontic treatment is a one-time investment and should be done as soon as possible.

Invisalign Clear Braces

October 24th, 2011

Invisalign Clear Braces – See Real Results – Fast!

A beautiful smile is a major part of one’s personality and enhances self confidence. Beautiful, well balanced and straightened teeth guarantee a beautiful smile. Many people have some issues with their teeth shape and spacing and feel unhappy about this natural disorder. Many people feel bad about this and seek out an orthodontist for some treatment. The proper shape of teeth gives a boost to one’s confidence and today people are really concerned about their appearance. Aren’t you?

Braces are considered a revolutionary tool in the dentistry profession and people feel relieved when they come to know that their de-shaped or faulty teeth can now be fixed. This is not only for beauty and appearance purposes, many people face health problems because of issues with their teeth and gum alignment. They really NEED braces to avoid any further teeth problems.

Braces are wrapped around the teeth for a certain period of time and this keeps them in the desired position. Fixing the braces is done by the experienced professionals only and one should be careful while taking this treatment as having problematic teeth is still better than having none at all. It is not as costly as it can be for a person when the problem worsens leading to much more pain and higher cost of repair. This type of orthodontic treatment can be useful for people of all ages. Normally, adults seek this type of services and experience a radical change in their smile and appearance. However, this treatment is also valid for children who face some kind of teeth disorder and it can be fixed at a young age.

This orthodontic treatment works in an effective manner and is carried out with the help of metallic or ceramic bounds worn around the teeth. These can be permanent or temporary and there are many options now available in this treatment and all of them are here to facilitate the patient during his or her treatment. The duration of this treatment is dependent on the nature and severity of the problem. Dentists give a particular set of instructions along with the treatment and one need to be careful about these. There are different types of braces and this choice of which braces to wear is not yours. It is dependent on many factors and all of these finally determine the types of braces you will be wearing if you have some kind of dental disorder. It is largely dependent on the type of problem you are facing and the choice of your orthodontist specialist.

Metal braces are the most commonly used ones and are used by most orthodontists. But these metals braces are found to be problematic for many people and efforts have been made to find out alternate options with this regard. Ceramic and clear braces are the other types of braces that are in vogue these days. Clear braces are the most liked type of braces and they have many advantages. The most important benefit of clear braces is that they are transparent. People who undergo an orthodontic treatment have a bad feeling while wearing the ordinary metal or colored braces. These can looks odd whenever they open their mouth thus making them feel uncomfortable. This problem is eliminated by the use of clear braces as they are transparent and one cannot easily notice them.

Clear braces are different from the ordinary ones in every way. They are made up of metal plus plastic thus giving them a transparent look. One can wear them for longer times if required as it does not give a bad feeling to the person who wears them. Clear braces are especially liked by adults as they are more conscious about their appearance. Another benefit of these braces is that they can be taken off by the user at any point in time and they can them be put in again. This easy usage allows him to live in a more relaxed way and he or she does not have to visit the orthodontist again and again. This obviously saves money for him making it a really cool option for those who are planning to have such a treatment in near future.

Invisalign and Invisalign Teen

Invisalign and Invisalign Teen are the leading brand of braces that is more similar to clear braces and is categorized as one of its types. These braces include a group of mouth guards that are not supported by brackets. These are made up of ceramic and this makes them a bit more brittle when compared to the ordinary metal braces. An important factor that needs to be considered in this regard is the effectiveness of treatment. It is important that the selected braces give the desired results within time. Otherwise the purpose behind their use will not be served.

One should be very careful about the selection of the appropriate treatment for their teeth as these are the most important part of one’s personality. Getting orthodontist treatment should be well planned and carried out with great care so as to avoid any mishaps.  Clear braces are a good option or those who seek teeth alignment treatments. They can give good results if carried out by an experienced practitioner. Clear braces have a clear dominance over the traditional metallic braces and are favored by many people. Although the final choice of the type of braces suitable for you is dependent on many factors, you can still choose these clear braces for your teeth alignment treatment and enjoy the benefits of invisible and effective braces.

Clear braces are a good choice for those who are hesitant to go for an orthodontist treatment. There is nothing wrong with wearing braces but people sometimes make fun of those who wear them. This is particularly a common problem for kids and they feel shy about wearing braces. Clear braces for kids can solve this problem and they can go through an orthodontic treatment with full confidence.
