Endodontists in California MD work in a specialized area of dental medicine. They have additional education and training in diseases of the dental pulp. A general dentist may refer a patient to an endodontist needing extensive root canal therapy, or for retreating a previous root canal. There’s a reason why it may not be a good idea for a general dentist to do it, even though they are qualified to perform root canal treatment. This is due to some dental patient cases being more complicated than others. In addition to root canals being complex procedures anyway, each tooth in the mouth is unique in size, shape and density. The severity of dental pulp damage is not measured by pain. Some people with teeth having the most serious issues have little or no pain. Endodontists in California MD can determine how severely damaged a tooth needing root canal therapy is. Failed root canal treatment is not seen when an endodontist performs the procedure.
Teeth realignment is done for oral health and cosmetic reasons. For instance, a patient with overcrowding teeth may need tooth straightening to enable thorough cleaning and an easier time speaking and chewing foods. When the top row of teeth don’t rest comfortably on the bottom row, it can progress to problems with jaw alignment. A misaligned jaw is associated with temporal mandibular disorder, a disfunction of the muscles, joints and bones of the jaw. Orthodontic treatment with invisalign is a patient preferred method for straightening teeth.
Expect superb results with invisalign, and no hassling with the high maintenance requirements of brackets and metal wires. Invisalign orthodontic treatment at Louis B. Sachs D.D.S is a multiphase process. Patients use a set of clear aligners that gradually move the teeth to the desired position. Each aligner is worn as long as necessary for the teeth to be permanently shifted to the position for that stage. A new set of aligners are worn for each positional change. After the last step, orthodontic patients are fitted with a retainer. It is possible for teeth to revert back to their previous misaligned positioning after orthodontic treatment is carried out to completion. Retainers preserve the new smile.
