Cosmetic Dentistry And Its Impact On American Society

The orthodontic treatments compared were fixed appliance therapy and Invisalign. In the study, one large group was split into two smaller groups. One group wore fixed appliances and the other wore invisalign. For one week, the test subjects kept a journal and answered questions. The questions were used to determine the psychosocial, functional, and pain related to treatment impacts. The diary results for each group of test subjects were averaged. A graph was then made to compare the impacts of fixed appliance therapy and Invisalign. The graphs revealed Invisalign impacts were more “positive” than the impacts fixed orthodontic treatments

My love for orthodontics has developed at a young age when my confidence has shined after finishing my treatment. The happiness I experienced at that moment is a feeling that I would love to share with my patients every day. The anthropology of orthodontics has also been a very fascinating topic to me. Coming from an Egyptian background has increased my interest in learning how the evolution of teeth has changed across different ethnicities throughout centuries. My fascination for the specialty has grown when I shadowed orthodontists and noticed that cases are presented in a way where teeth need to be puzzled together to create a beautiful smile. Also, expressing a personality that loves to connect with people and their families makes orthodontics a very enjoyable field. Orthodontic patients are usually excited about coming in and moving forward with their treatment, this leads to having a friendly environment where everyone works together to provide the highest quality of care to the patients. In combing my personal experience with my desire to solve puzzles to help people radiant beautiful smiles, I believe that orthodontics is the perfect fit for my personality and

Hey Alexa! Braces are what sparked my interest in the dental field too! Ever since I was a little kid I wanted to be a dental hygienist, but overtime my mind has changed. Now that I have circled back around to the dental field, I have decided to start out in dental assisting and work towards getting my dental hygiene later in life. It's really interesting to learn about what sparked a person’s interest in a particular

Straight teeth are associated with everything from a better social life, better employment opportunities, and a higher self-esteem. Even so, there is typically hesitation from most adults who do not want the time and financial expense necessary to invest in braces, especially when their first thought turns to traditional metal braces. New technology, though, like Invisalign, has helped to make straight teeth a possibility for individuals who want discreet and effective treatment options.

In the book Smile there was a character named Raina Telgemeler, she had to get braces. Raina thought that she didn’t need to get braces because her teeth looked fine. When she got braces she had felt insecure because of the way she looked, she thought that everyone will make fun of her and tease her. In the end when she got her braces taken off she felt more confident than ever. I can relate to that because when I had gotten braces I never wanted to smile for anything. I was self conscious that I had food stuck in it or just in general I felt different because I got my braces on at such an early age. After I had gotten it taken off I was beyond happy because it felt like my confidence had just went up so much. Getting braces is something that

“Over four million people in the U.S. wear braces, and 25 percent of these individuals are adults. If you have a misaligned jaw or out-of-place teeth, be sure to ask your dentist if braces are right for you.” (A Biographical Portrait of Edward Hartley Angle, Nov. 6)

ith a weary face and sweaty palms, I walked into the gloomy dental offices as a yearly ritual. The intimidating environment of the office made me feel knots in my stomach. As a child I never enjoyed visiting dentists because I was convinced that these humans were merciless people who could not care less if I was in pain. Ironically, the lifetime career I seek for now is the career I disliked before. The decision to become a dentist developed when I had the desire to give children a better experience and a different perspective on professionals of this field. From my experience, the dentists were not gentle and did not give me time to collect myself before pulling a tooth out. Orthodontics is a profession that I am pursuing since I have consistently desired to work in a healthcare career that enables me to help people by using my interest and talents in hand motor and communication skills. I strive for perfection and work patiently, as well as diligently, which will help me throughout this profession. There are skills that I need to obtain such as shadowing or volunteering in a dental office, which is also part of the educational preparation needed for dental school. All of these talents combined are essential for a typical day in dentistry in which I need to create a safe and comfortable environment for the excessive amounts of patients daily

After almost a lifetime of going to orthodontist appointments for myself, I began to realize what a great job becoming an orthodontist would be. When I was about 9 or 10 years old, I had began the first stage of braces. After that, I was given instructions of how to properly take care of my teeth, such as which foods I couldn’t eat. I did not enjoy the entire experience throughout the years, but was relieved when they were removed before my first year of high school. Then I put on my retainer, and discovered it was like having braces

Some orthodontists take the demand of patients for granted, in which they don't customize their cosmetic dental treatments for each patient who has different orthodontic needs. For example, comfortable braces for adults may not be similar with kids who needs their own level of convenient braces. This is the major concern of Family Braces. As the name implies, this is the main destination for every familly member to get the best choices of brace that suit every

    To some orthodontistry is just an ordinary cosmetic change, but for me it’s both a learning experience and a life changer. Getting braces has certainly benefitted my life. My new smile created from the works of orthodontistry has allowed me to gain confidence with my smile. Before I stepped foot inside Thacker Orthodontics, I used to be self-conscious about my own smile that I would try to hide it while photos were taken. Nevertheless, when I started the process with braces, it was astonishing observing the slow but subtle changes of my teeth. Watching this process uphand enabled me to learn about the impact a smile possesses. When my braces were removed and I saw the results I couldn’t help but smile.

Braces has affected my life a lot because I have had them for 2 years. A high canine tooth runs in my family, so of course I had to get one. My “fang” was very uncomfortable because food would always get stuck in the gap when I ate. I also had to get braces because, my mouth was too small so my teeth moved behind and in front of each other.

I am applying for getting admission in the Master's in clinical stomatology in orthodontics because I want a career in the esthetical program for the better smile. Everyone appreciate the importance of a winning smile. It makes a pleasing appearance, promotes self-esteem, and is valuable to social and career success. Creating beautiful smiles is what orthodontics is all about. Today, orthodontic treatment is convenient and affordable, so that individuals from childhood through retirement can enjoy its important benefits. Orthodontics is important not only to a great smile and improved self-confidence but to better dental health. By aligning teeth and improving the harmony of the lips and face, orthodontics can improve one’s general attitude toward life. Teeth, and sometimes entire facial structures, are permanently changed by orthodontic treatment. Teeth in correct alignment are easier to clean, and that can make them more resistant to decay and less susceptible to gum disease and tooth loss. Alignment may also prevent tooth and jaw discomfort that can come from

Back in 5th grade, I had many friends that had braces. The metal of the brace had glittered with harshness; the crooked metallic wire with the little metallic parts would stuck out whenever they smiled. Not only did the braces look terrifying, many foods were forbidden with my braces. I had thought I’m never getting braces.

Whenever you think of the word braces, a strange image comes to your mind. This is why people usually use the braces in the first place; to get the shape of their teeth to normal. When the braces were first introduced, they were only considered fit for the kids because of the funny feeling they cause to a person wearing them and their strange look. But now its effectiveness is considered more than its looks. Adults who are suffering from some dental disorder are widely inclined to use the braces.
