Make your braces colorful...

Dental braces are special devices which are used to repair minor tooth and jaw problems. Usually used on small kids, adults can also profit from them. The braces are generally used for several years before they're taken off and replaced by a retainer. Though they are not meant to be cosmetic, you can personalize the devices by choosing different braces colors.

Once you get dental braces you needn't be weary of having the colors changed out. Your dentist can easily switch out your O-rings to put in new ones in during the visits where he will be tightening up your dental braces. Though, if you intend on changing the colors let the dentist's office know beforehand to be sure that they have the hues you want.

Find out from your Dentist what hues are available at their office. Most will keep the usual yellows, reds, and blues in stock. Several Dentists will even have neons and glow in the dark braces available. Since you do not have to pick just one color, imagine how 2 or 3 hues will go together prior to choosing. Some practices even have handy color selectors which let you see how colors will look when put together.

Teeth Grinding

What is bruxism?
Bruxism is the term that refers to an incessant grinding and clenching of the teeth, unintentionally, and at inappropriate times. Bruxers (persons with bruxism) are often unaware that they have developed this habit, and often do not know that treatment is available until damage to the mouth and teeth has been done. Damage caused by bruxism often includes the following symptoms. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:

abraded teeth
facial pain
oversensitive teeth
tense facial and jaw muscles
headaches
dislocation of the jaw
damage to the tooth enamel, exposing the inside of the tooth (dentin)
a popping or clicking in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ)
tongue indentations
damage to the inside of the cheek
The symptoms of bruxism may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Consult a dentist or your physician for a diagnosis.

What causes bruxism?
Although this habit is unintentional, oral health specialists often point to excessive stress and certain personality types as typical causes of bruxism. Bruxism often affects persons with nervous tension such as anger, pain, or frustration, and/or persons with aggressive, hurried, or overly competitive tendencies.

How is bruxism diagnosed?
During regular visits to the dentist, the teeth are examined for evidence of bruxism - often indicated by the tips of the teeth appearing flat. If symptoms are present, the condition will be observed for changes over the next several visits before a treatment program is established.

Treatment for bruxism:
Specific treatment for bruxism will be determined by your dentist or physician based on:

your age, overall health, and medical history
extent of the disease
your tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
expectations for the course of the disease
your opinion or preference
In most cases, bruxism can be successfully treated. Treatment may involve:

behavior modification
Teaching the patient how to rest his/her tongue, teeth, and lips properly, and learning how to rest the tongue upward may relieve discomfort on the jaw while keeping the teeth apart and lips closed.
mouthpiece
A specially-fitted plastic mouth appliance may be worn at night to absorb the force of biting. This appliance may help to prevent future damage to the teeth and aid in changing the patient's behavior.
biofeedback
Biofeedback involves an electronic instrument that measures the amount of muscle activity of the mouth and jaw - indicating to the patient when too much muscle activity is taking place so that the behavior can be changed. This is especially helpful for daytime bruxers. Further research is needed to develop a treatment program for bruxers who clench during the night.
