How are dental veneers created?
Different porcelains account for how they are actually made. The design is interesting. I think I'm one of the few dentists who predesign smiles for patients to approve. We use a 3D design, I then add and sculpt the wax to create the smile as an initial proposal to the patient.
What areas of oral health do I need to take note of before and after removing my braces?
Thank you for your excellent question. Braces are stuck onto your teeth and with the braces wire in place, food gets stuck more easily around the teeth. Hence good oral health is imperative for a healthy mouth during the period of braces treatment which typically takes 1- 2 years. Good oral health care has 2 arms, excellent oral hygiene and a healthy diet. During braces treatment, it is important to clean all the corners of the braces and under the braces wire with either interproximal brushes or interspace brushes. Brushing twice a day and flossing at least once a day is recommended.
