College planning for Dentistry/Orthodontics?
If anyone could help me by figuring out some good colleges for Dentistry/Orthodontics, that would be great!

Go to www.petersons.com and use their search feature. You can search by major (pre-dental) and region.
Reply:Not sure where you're looking to go, but Ohio State has an excellent dentistry program. My friends Dad went there and now he has his own practice. If you're looking to save money, you can always go into the Navy and become a dentist. They'll pay for your training and then after you do your time, you'll be able to get out and start your own practice. You have to be an officer, so you'll need a degree in something to start out with.

so look at this pic of my teeth, does them need orthodontics?

Does my teeth need orthodontics?(picture included)?
yes i think you should go for orthodontic treatment as your front teeth seems to be tilted and there is space inbetween which may lead to crowding in the back of your mouth and cause malocclusions like crossbites and it will look unaesthetic with spacing in front teeth you can get them veneered but veneering wont solve the problem completly as it wont be helping out in treating posterior crowding so better option would be an orthodontic treatment.
Reply:Why would you spend your money, what are they gonna do. Chill out, your teeth are fine. Trust me.
Reply:If its free then u could get it done and u prob wont have them in for that long as your teeth are pretty straight.
Reply:From the pic, I would say it's up to you but I don't think it would be necessary. What does your dentist say?
Reply:I would say yes, because your mouth kind of looks like it's overcrowded......same thing with my teeth.
Reply:well it seems like ur front two teeth are a little seperate.
n maybe u either have an overbite or underbite.
yes, i reccomend braces, but u prolly wont need them for long.
ur teeth are pretty straight already, they just need to be alligned a bit.
good luck!
Reply:I would just have the gap in your upper front teeth bonded.
Reply:I would reccomend veneers, or invisalign. Since your teeth aren't that bad to begin with. I would talk to the dentist and see what would be a better for you.
Reply:Don't bother. They look fine.
Reply:Your teeth don't look that bad. I would say just go to the orth and see what they say. My teeth looked like that on the bottom (the way your top does) and now they are perfect (preatty much). The thing that did the trick was a lower langual arch, you can probably get a top one too. All it does is when you loose a couple teeth your baby ones are most of the time bigger (molars) the lower thingy will hold back your molars and let the front teeht space out then get straight. Then I would recommend a retainer, so your teeth stay that way!
Reply:no, there pretty fine.
that would be cosmetic instead of a need
by the way its do they need orthodontics not does them need orthodontics
Reply:I would say no, don't bother. I think your teeth look good, and the gap gives them/you character. I once saw an advertisement poster in a Gap window with a BEAUTIFUL girl sporting a gap between her teeth (although I'm sure there was no pun intended.) Relax. When your teeth are straight, as they pretty much are now, why would you want to look like everyone else?
Reply:I think your money would be better invested in Hooked on Phonics. But that's just me.
Reply:they look ok to me but if you re so wanting it to be gone,any dentist can make them look even,, they have this machine ,and the procedure is not at all painful,also completely inexpensive.takes couple of minutes only
Reply:Just because your teeth are straight doesn't mean you don't need orthodontic treatment. It's all about the relationship between the placement of the teeth relative to each other and to the jaw, known as "occlusion", or "bite". Your occlusion DOES need to be corrected, as you show what is commonly known as an an underbite.

Hi.i wear a Orthodontics .is that natural that my teeth start to be shorter than it was before!!!!?
is that naurnal?????? after the Orthodontics it will be like it was before??????? plzzz answer me,,, because i am so worry!!!!!!!!!!
Hi.i wear a Orthodontics .is that natural that my teeth start to be shorter than it was before!!!!?
Could it be that your teeth only look shorter because your gums are swollen? Plaque will cause this easily.
Make sure you are still seeing your general dentist and hygienist for professional cleanings every 3 to 6 months while your are wearing your braces. They should teach you specific detailed ways of cleaning your teeth to prevent swollen gums. Also, ask your orthodontist if things look normal or not of course.

Do dental and orthodontics school students offer to do jaw surgery for free?
Does anybody know if Dental and Orthodontics schools have a program where their student will perform lower jaw surgery for free or a discounted rate?
Do dental and orthodontics school students offer to do jaw surgery for free?
If you really need jaw surgery, it will not be done by a 'student' - it would be done by an oral surgery resident. a resident is someone who has a doctorate, but is training in a specialty, such as oral /maxillofacial surgery. they are the best of the best to even get INTO those programs AND they're monitorred by attending doctors.
If you watch, say, House or ER on TV, you'll see residents -- they aren't as smart as the older docs, but they're still capable of saving lives and all that good stuff.
So, call the dental school, explain what you need and they'll set you up a referral. you will have ot talk to the docs in that program with some sort of xrays and consultation; after that they'll be able to give you an idea of how much it will cost. DEFINITELY less than in teh private sector, for sure.
Reply:Around here they do. Why don't you just call the schools in your area and ask if they offer a program like that? What could it hurt. If anything, you could probably have the procedure done at a lower price.
Reply:would you trust them too????
Reply:There are dental schools at university that do low cost and no cost procedures. Generally, the waiting list is VERY long and the procedures performed are at the skill level of students who are being monitored by Dentists who have already graduated and teach at the school.
Call the local university which has a dental school near you and they can advise you about their policies for patient care.
If you are in a dire circumstance, call your county health department for a referral.
Good luck.
Reply:Orthodontists and dentists cannot perform jaw surgeries. This type of surgery is performed by medical doctors who specialize in Oral and Maxillofacial surgery. You may be able to find medical schools that have clinics that would offer reduced pricing. I did a quick Google search and have included a link below that provides an example of this type of clinic. Whatever you decide, med school clinic or licensed MD, make sure you do some research before you have this surgery. There are many risks with this type of surgery, including short term numbness (common), long term numbness, and facial paralysis (rare) because of the nerves that run through your jaw. If you choose to go with a medical school clinic, make sure that the procedure will be fully supervised by an experienced oral surgeon. Good luck! If you decide to go through with the surgery, you should check out yahoo groups. They have some excellent orthognatic (and related) surgery communities.
Reply:You need an oral surgeon. An orthodontist or dentist cannot perform jaw surgery.
I understand that dental procedures are quite expensive, but are you that desperate?

Math and Orthodontics/Dentistry...?
I need to write an essay for Governors Honors Program.. it's like this thing where you get nominated and go to a college for 6 weeks and learn stuff... lol... but anyways... I'm going in math %26amp; I need to write an essay and was wondering what kind of different relationships there is between math and orthodontics... Help anyone?
Math and Orthodontics/Dentistry...?
When you learn to become an orthodontist you have to learn the science behind how braces work. The metals used in the brackets, wires, and elastics have different properties. Also, there are biomechanical principals such as application of forces that are important to understand.
While orthodontists may not be solving math equations on a daily basis, it is needed to form the basis in understanding how it all works.
Knowing how to count the teeth does help, too.
Reply:Well, being able to count would be about the only connection I can think of between math and braces.
Count the number of teeth and then count out the number of bands needed to cover the teeth.

Pediatrician or Orthodontics?
I wondering what career should I decide to have. I don't really know which one is best to have.
Pediatricians work long hours?
Is being an Orthodontics a gruesome job?
Which has better pay?
Pediatrician or Orthodontics?
Pay should never be the only deciding factor in a job. Because being miserable or just disliking each and every day at a job isn't worth it, even if the pay is good! What good is money if life is miserable?
Both of those jobs pay very well. Pediatrics involves working with individuals 0-18 years, you have to have patience and also be able to work with difficult parents. Parents will be very different and overprotective of their sick or potentially sick children. You will also have to reveal bad news about young children to desperate parents. It can be tough. Don't forget the screaming, crying and biting part from unhappy children. Being a pediatrician can be gruesome, you may have to remove moles, cysts, observe nasty infections, etc. depending on whereabouts you work.
You mentioned pediatricians work long hours. Not sure why that would be, because if they own their own clinic then they pick their hours and this could be 9-5 every day. There is a lot of paperwork involved though.
Orthodontics is not necessarily gruesome... it all depends on the case. You can get some very gruesome cases in both jobs. With orthodontics you can work many extra hours for "on call" cases which are emergencies.
I am reading that orthodontists make between $100,000 and $400,000 annually. Pediatricians make between $140,000 and $180,000 and in some cases can even make well over $250,000 annually.
Reply:I like pediatrician better..that's my opinion. Orthodontist is all about peoples mouths and teeth. Pediatricians are all about kids and vaccines and babies.

Do The Orthodontics Change ....?
Do The orthodontics Change Your Brackets Every time You Go To Get Your Braces Tighten...Or How Often Do They Change Your Brackets Because I Went To Get Them Tighten For The First Time And They Moved My Brackets To My Last Teeth In The Back...So How Often Do They Replace Them Or Do They Do That Every time You Go To Get Them Tighten
Do The Orthodontics Change ....?
No, they do not change the brackets.
They change the ligatures. Sometimes even the wire. But, for me the wire on top has never been changed. I have had braces for about 10 months, bottom one has been changed. The orthodontist may say that a powerchain is needed or that you need to wear elastics.

Reply:they tighten them pretty much every time, just let them worry about it
Reply:They don't change your brackets. They change the rubberbands on the brackets. These rubberbands come in colors.

Stripping in Orthodontics?
I need to write a seminar(or presentation) about stripping techniques in Orthodontics for my class. So please can you tell me how this is done and is there any other sources on internet to read.
Thanks.
Stripping in Orthodontics?
If your orthodontist sees that you are missing only a few millimeters for your front lower teeth to have place, he might choose not to move other teeth and to get the 2 mm by reducing the width of your 4 anteriors by 0.25 mm on each side. Then there will be 0.5mm between each tooth so that those teeth can then be moved back in line. Afterward, he can give you a removable appliance to push the teeth in place.
To keep those teeth aligned, he usually will put a lingual wire holding those, because else the tongue and lip (wich were used to have a rest position), will try to push those teeth back where they were, to get back this rest position.
Reply:The orthodontist (or their assistant) should also polish the 'stripped' teeth with some fluoride paste afterwards, and recommend the patient to use a high fluoride gel for brushing their teeth, to strengthen the stripped enamel.
Look up any good ortho text, like Proffit.

Can orthodontics be an alternative of getting a fake tooth?
I went to see my dentist and he recommended me to do a root canal on one of my premolar. I heard some people if the root canal is not done successfully, you may lose your tooth permanently. This will be my first root canal and I am worry. I am thinking for the worse scenario that I may have to lose my tooth. I worn braces 20 years ago when I was a teenager. I am thinking in case of losing the tooth, can I go for orthodontics treatment again instead of getting a fake tooth. Also, I am thinking should I have a specialist do the root canal or just do it with my regular dentist. If any one know how to get a review or rating of the dentist? Thanks!
Can orthodontics be an alternative of getting a fake tooth?
Root canal treatments these days have a very good chance of success, about 95% so dont worry too much about it. if just in case u lost the tooth, u can have a bridge or implant. Orthodontic somethimes is used to close the gap between teeth but u need to consult with an specialist or at least ur dentist about the possibilities.
Take care

Reply:The chance of a root canal being unsuccessful is extremely low.
If you're not comfortable with your general dentist performing the root canal, perhaps ask for some references. Or, you can go to an endodontist (root canal specialist).

Can orthodontics negatively affect facial development?
I'm now a 17 year old male and had my braces removed very recently. Before braces I had a very slight overbite and had to get two teeth pulled from my upper jaw. To cover the spaces the upper and lower jaws had to be pushed back over the course of two years. Upon completion i noticed that my lower jaw is not level with the upper, but smaller. Also my upper lip became more prominent. Can this perhaps be due to the orthodontics treatment? Or is it just facial development with age?
Can orthodontics negatively affect facial development?
probably both; the shape of the braces probably has caused your lip to become that way but as you grow older the shape will probably lose its form and go back to normal

Orthodontics assistant?
While the first two answers can be correct, not all states have the same rules and regulations as far as what an ortho assistant can do legally...
Your best bet would be to go to www.danb.org, and search for your state... all the regs will be listed.
Best of luck!

Reply:Well i was an orthodontist assistant for about a year, I was actually hired w/o experienced and trained on the job. But I of course assisted the doctor with certain procedures, changed wires and ties, and even placed brackets. We started a new procedure where the brackets were "positioned" by the doctor before hand and then all we (I) had to do was prep the teeth, primer the teeth and brackets and place the molds onto the teeth, it was a lot of fun. But we did have an assistant that did lab work too. We all were responcible for the sterilization room, and we took x-rays, and progress photos.
Reply:I too was an ortho assistant for a year and a half.. had no experience.. trained on the job!
i placed brackets on the trays correctly, passed them to the doctor so he could put them on the patients teeth. i assisted with impressions and handed tools to the doctor. i got to clean up puke and clean the vanity every 5 seconds! haha
eventually i would have tied wires and such but i left before i had to do any of that..lol
but really.. not a bad job. kind of hectic at times.
only good if youre a people person!

Orthodontics vs. False Teeth Plates?
I have unattractive teeth ~ the initial problem was a very severe overjet, overcrowding, as well as a small mouth %26amp; receding jaw.
When I was 15 years old I got my braces, unfortunately all 4 wisdom teeth grew in year later and wrecked everything.
The results are not as severe, but still highly noticable to myself and others now I am 33 years old, to the extent that friends say, "You have such a nice smile, why don't you get your teeth fixed up?"
I am still so self-conscious about my teeth. I have private med for dental now, although on a very small income. I am basically happy with myself overall, except for my teeth and jawline.
Why is orthodontics preferred more so than getting all the teeth out and getting a false teeth plate instead? I know personal comfort would be a big consideration, but are there any other dental factors involved?
What is the approx cost of each of these options in comparision to each other?
Genuine information and advice appreciated.
Orthodontics vs. False Teeth Plates?
If you are 33 and self conscious to the point of considering these 2 options - go to the orthodontist. You shouldn't have dentures unless it is absolutely necessary. Reasons why? First, dentures don't allow you to enjoy food or eat as well. If you gain or lose weight they won't fit well. They almost never look like real teeth and will need to be replaced every so often which will cost you considerably. Many people can't tolerate a lower denture since it gets in the way of your tongue, etc,etc,etc. With the orthodontics the cost may or may not be covered by insurance but so many offices have payment plans. I am guessing $4000.00 or less, but honestly I couldn't say. An orthodontist may be willing to do a free consultation. Maybe you could cut back somewhere, like a coffee a day at the drive thru habit to pay for them. More and more adults are having orthodontics so you are not alone. I had a patient who was 65 when he had his. You will have to do more from a day to day cleaning routine, but I really feel that if you were my family member I wouldn't let you do otherwise. GOOD LUCK

Reply:Although it may seem like more of an expense to get orthodontics, extracting 32 teeth and paying for a full upper and lower denture is probably just as much costly, if not more, than orthodontics. I cannot tell you exact figures, but I'm guessing you'll pay $150-$200 per tooth for an extraction, plus at least $1000 for dentures that don't look like your natural teeth. If it were me, I would go for the braces. Tons of people get orthodontics when they are older, plus they will be off in about 2 years or so. Also, false teeth are a prosthetic. So imagine having 2 wooden legs... they still function OK but are never the same as your original legs. Same goes for your teeth. (i hope i didn't lose you on that analogy.) Good luck!

Orthodontics and TMJ Disorder?
Have you had/do you have TMJ? Have you had orthodontics to correct it and did it help?
Orthodontics and TMJ Disorder?
yes, I have TMJ. Have had it all my 40 years of life. They suggested the surgery where they break your jawl. I said no. I got the mouth guard that is made to keep me from grinding my teeth at night. That helps, I wear it when Im stressed.
I have heard that this is a really tough, tough surgery to go through. Be absolutely sure you need it.
I did have my bite corrected, that helped a great deal.

Orthodontics and TMJ Disorder?
I have been told I 'grind my teeth' by my Dentist. At 49 it has been going on a long time. Likewise I have Rheumatoid Arthritis, so pain is pain. However, if I was told this years ago I would seriously seek help, last thing anyone wants is a Jaw Replacement. My Sister had one due to a accident years ago and they did not have MRI or CT back then so now has one jaw joint replaced, not a nice operation and is refusing to have the other side done, due to the experiences of the first operation. Get help and Good Luck.
Reply:It was braces that CAUSED mine in the first place. Make sure you get an ortho that knows what they're doing. I was told I would need a major oral surgery and about 2 more years of braces to fix mine.

Which Orthodontics is better?
Ive been wanting to get braces for years. Ive looked into Apple Ortho and private Orthodontics. Is it better to go to Apple a place that is well known, or to a private ortho? Does anybody have any bad experiences with Apple or Monarch Dental? I have insurance but it does not cover orthodontics because it is considered "cosmetic".
Which Orthodontics is better?
I would ask for advice from your friends, has anyone had
braces done? Also, if you are looking for savings on orthodontist
work for braces, look into the eHealthPlus membership.
It can save you a substantial amount of money on braces.

i don't know if i should get braces
one of my right teeth in the back hurts, and i was wondering if go to the dentist and take it out, will the other teeth line up good?
now it's too crowded
Orthodontics?
Go to a dentist and find out if your back tooth hurts from overcrowding or from a cavity. If the back tooth is a wisdom tooth, it can be pulled out. But if it's a chewing tooth, and if cavities are not a source of pain, then maybe the position of the tooth is causing you pain, meaning that you may want to consider going to an orthodontist to correct this. If there is pain then something is definitely wrong, so even if you don't go to the orthodontist, you should definitely go to a dentist. Sometimes ignoring a small cavity can lead to you needing to get a root canal, a crown,or even tooth decay, so early intervention is a must. Your dentist will be able to tell you if you need to see the orthodontist, so ask for his opinion.
Reply:if there is a problem like that and you do decide to get braces, they will probably tell you that you should get the tooth pulled anyway. then you can get braces to straighten the rest of them out
Reply:Did your dentist suggest braces? If so, consider the options.
Braces aren't that bad anyways! If you don't like the metal, try this brand called InvisAlign. They are clear plastic trays that align your teeth, you take them out to eat, shower and swim. Talk to your dentist and I hope your teeth feel better sooN!!
Reply:I went to the dentist and he said i needed to go to an orthodontist. I went to the orthodontist and he said i needed fixed braces which i dont mind because my teeth are overcrowded . The dentist will refer you to the orthodontist if they think you need braces.
Reply:First, see the dentist about the tooth that hurts. It could be a cavity. They may not remove it if it's just a cavity but fill it instead. Then see if you're a good candidate for braces. Good luck!

8 year old getting pallet expander next week, any comments? Is it too young to carry out? Any experience to share?
Orthodontics?
I am an orthodontic assistant and children at this age that need a pallet expander is common. Children that I have worked on say they are uncomfortable for the first week but then they get use to it. Parents will be given a key to turn the expander a few times a day...please pay close attention as to how you are to do this as alot of parents do not do a full turn and this just slows the process down...ask any questions that you have and if you feel comfortable ask them to let you turn the key as they watch so that you know how to properly do this at home. Also with an expander there is certain foods to avoid so please make sure you get a list of these foods from your orthodontist. And also make sure your child knows to brush the expander when they brush their teeth to prevent any bacteria build-up. Please feel free to contact me if you have any more questions.

I am going for an orthodontic consultation soon
I was just wondering how long did it take between you consultastion ad when your treatment started (also what treatment was it)???
Orthodontics?
depends what he or she finds wrong??
Reply:Braces...usually within a week or two....braces for two years with monthly appts. and ajustments....now my son's teeth are perfect!!!
Reply:I don't remember as it was sooo long ago, but I ended up with braces, face-bow and retainer off and on for 7 yrs. (but my teeth were really messed up)
Just follow what the DDS says and do what you need to do and you'll be OK.
Reply:You cannot ask that question because every one is different and every treatment plan is different. Wait and see what the orthodontist says.
Reply:The consultation was about 2 weeks before I got braces.
I decided to o ahead with it, they took models of my teeth, the Dr called me a few days later and they talked to me about treatment, a week later they put me in braces.
Hope that helps
Reply:it depends on the extent of the problems

Orthodontics??
Okay I asked a question earlier. I have a removable expander that is making the sides of my mouth line up and everything, the annoying thing is I have a right lateral incisor thats too far back, and I think that has always what caused me to have a small gap in between my tooth, but one tooth that makes the gap is shifted a bit. the rest of my teeth are straight. What do you all think about this? Do expanders help overbites as I was told this by my dentist.
Orthodontics??
Ive got expanders in right now, they don't come out and in the beginning as you manually turn the tighteners theres gaps in between the teeth. Over time as you decrease turning the mechanism that tightens the expanders, the gaps will close up and the gaps are least of problems while fixing your teeth. Gaps in the teeth are normal, if you think otherwise, consult your ortho.

It depends upon the office. Some are scheduled 2 months in advance. I worked at one that could get you in in two days. You'd have to ask around.
Reply:Depends how soon you can come up with the money and how much time he has available
Reply:It took about 2 or three weeks for me. It also depends on what spaces they have available for you but generally, they like to get started as soon as possible! The first part of your treatment will probably be records and impressions, then spacers, then banding/bonding your teeth. Good Luck with you consultation. There is also a website that could answer some other questions you might have. It is a sight for adults with braces, but even if you are young it could still be of help to you. archwired.com is the name of the site!

m getting braces andd.......?
Ok iam getting braces and i have just 1 baby tooth left its kinda loose but not really can i tell my orthodontist to just not put a bracket on that one baby tooth and like brace the permanent teeth
have you ever had a baby tooth during braces ? like not braces pleaseee help iam SO worried becasue i dont want my tooth pulled PLEASE help me !!!! And what happeneds on the first ortho appt and the second appt please help i really want to know
Orthodontics???
okay, well i have braces, they most likely will pull ur tooth. dont worry ive had 5 pulled, and it doesnt hurt that much. you could just wait you know, or eat something really hard so it gets loser. wobbling helps to.
Once, you do get your braces on, dont worry, it only hurts for the second day, and when u get ur wires changed, it hurts for a day. If you are really in pain, take advil or something. But ice has helped me the most. On your first apt they will just tell you if your a canidate for braces or not and how much it will cost. on your second visit, the orthodontist will put in spaces. its just these rubber bands that the orthodontist puts in between 4 of your teeth. that sort of does hurt.
Well good luck and its so worth it!
Reply:you probably have to get it pulled anyway...it'll be in the way when your adult teeth begin to shift into place with the braces..

How effective are dental braces? I am weraing one and I can see a change. But are there any implications in the future, such as early tooth fallout etc?
Orthodontics?
As long as your orthodontist doesn't move your teeth too fast, you should be just fine. The one thing about braces is that it is harder to floss, so you "pockets" around your teeth my deepen slightly. You can lessen this effect by brushing well and following doctors instructions for cleaning. After your treatment is over, I should actually be easier for you to clean your teeth, thus preventing early tooth loss.

I went to the orthodontics last Tuesday and I'm going again tomorrow. I'm supposed to be getting a brace but I don't know when. Last Tuesday the orthodontist looked at my teeth, then I got an xray and the mould done. What am I likely to get done tomorrow? (I don't need any teeth out or anything I don't think)
Orthodontics?
It is unlikely to be that quick....I didn't get my braces until 5 months after I had my x-ray and mould done. They are probably going to report back to you about the mould and x-ray, and what they can offer you in terms of treatment. And the orthodontist doesn't take the teeth out, your dentist does that.
Also, BTW, it doesn't take 3 hours, I had the top and bottom put on the same day, and it took about 25mins-half an hour.
Reply:Just thought I'd say that I went to the dentist and am getting a brace on this Monday coming, just over 2 weeks later but thanks anyway. I suppose it jsut depends what dentist you go to and how long the waiting list is to how long the wait will be. (: Report It
Reply:it sounds like hes already done an assesment on you, with the xray...and already taken a moulld? id guess that youll be getting them on very soon...unless he just wants to meet with you again to confirm a date to get them on and discusss payment options, that kind of thing.
when you do go in to get yours braces on, if they do top and bottom in one day - youre in for a long haul. it took me like almost 3 hrs or so.
Reply:You'll need to have spacers between your back teeth for a short time before you have braces fitted
They're little rubbers pieces that part your teeth very slightly so that it doesn't hurt when your brace is fitted
Reply:Its likely they will put on spacers and bond the brackets to your teeth and tie colors ligs on for the sake of looking not too metal.
On your next appointment they'll take off spacers and put on the bands around your first molars. Than they can have the archwires put on, than tightened and the retention process begins which will make your gums feel sore for about a week.
Hope that helps. :)
