Types of Crowns[caps]

1. Metals used in crowns include gold alloy, other alloys (for example, palladium) or a base-metal alloy (for example, nickel or chromium). Compared with other crown types, less tooth structure needs to be removed with metal crowns, and tooth wear to opposing teeth is kept to a minimum. Metal crowns withstand biting and chewing forces well and probably last the longest in terms of wear down. Also, metal crowns rarely chip or break. The metallic color is the main drawback. Metal crowns are a good choice for out-of-sight molars.
2. Porcelain-fused-to-metal dental crowns can be color matched to your adjacent teeth (unlike the metallic crowns). However, more wearing to the opposing teeth occurs with this crown type compared with metal or resin crowns. The crown's porcelain portion can also chip or break off. Next to all-ceramic crowns, porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns look most like normal teeth. However, sometimes the metal underlying the crown's porcelain can show through as a dark line, especially at the gum line and even more so if your gums recede. These crowns can be a good choice for front or back teeth.
3. All-resin dental crowns are less expensive than other crown types. However, they wear down over time and are more prone to fractures than porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns.
4. All-ceramic or all-porcelain dental crowns provide the best natural color match than any other crown type and may be more suitable for people with metal allergies. However, they are not as strong as porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns and they wear down opposing teeth a little more than metal or resin crowns. All-ceramic crowns are a good choice for front teeth.
5. Temporary versus permanent. Temporary crowns can be made in your dentist's office whereas permanent crowns are made in a dental laboratory. Temporary crowns are made of acrylic or stainless steel and can be used as a temporary restoration until a permanent crown is constructed by the dental laboratory.

Say Goodbye to "Metal Mouth"

Technology is awesome. First our phones went wireless, then our computers, and now our braces have gone wireless! You can have the beautiful, straight smile you've always wanted without the embarrassment and discomfort of wearing old-fashioned wire and bracket metal braces!
Invisalign is the invisible way to straighten teeth. It is a system that uses a series of unnoticeable custom-made aligners to gradually straighten your smile. Whether you have large gaps between your teeth or overcrowding, Invisalign can work for you.

Invisalign are removable, clear trays. Gradually your teeth will be moved week by week, millimeter by millimeter, until you have the straight, beautiful smile you've always dreamed of!

Invisalign aligners are so much more comfortable than traditional metal braces. Because they are removable, you can take them out to eat and brush your teeth. This leaves you free to enjoy all of your favorite foods. Since the aligners are removable there are no restrictions or off-limits foods as there are with traditional metal braces. You can take your aligners out at any time to enjoy a snack or special occasion. You can brush your teeth and floss as usual so your teeth and gums stay healthy during treatment. You can smile without holding back! There is no reason to be self-conscious about wearing your Invisalign aligners since they are nearly undetectable. No one has to know you are straightening your teeth until, of course, they see your wonderful result and then they will ask you how you transformed your smile!

Natal Teeth – MYTHS

Occasionally a child is born with teeth, these are called natal teeth.
MYTHS:

2. England- children born with teeth will grow into famous soldiers.
3. France and Italy - they will “get on in the world”.
4. Sweden- they can cure an injured finger if placed in the mouth.
5. China - If a baby is born with teeth, it is an ill omen for the family. When the precocious teeth begin to bite, one of the parents will die. If it is a boy, the father, if a girl, the mother.
6. Italy and Germany - The one whose teeth grow early, will sink early into the grave.
7. African tribes - Natal teeth are not only foretell disaster to the child, but to anyone with whom it comes into contact.
