Lingual Braces are Used to Straighten Teeth for Both Adults and Adolescents

San Antonio Cosmetic Dentist Advises on Link Between Crooked Teeth and Heart Disease

One of San Antonio’s top cosmetic dentists, Edward J Camacho, advises patients on how Invisalign could add years to your life! We all know that when you flash someone a smile it warms the heart but there is another connection between your teeth and your heart that is very important.

There are numerous confirmed studies that link periodontal (gum) disease to heart and other disease.

People with periodontal (gum) disease are at a greater risk because bacteria from the mouth enters the bloodstream and travels to other organs such as the heart and can cause harm. Just as important, people with crooked and crowded teeth have a harder time keeping their teeth clean leading to poor home care that can eventually lead to gum disease.

What exactly is periodontal disease? Periodontal (perio literally means “around” and “dontal” means tooth) disease destroys the fibers and supporting bone that hold your teeth in your mouth and the teeth begin to get loose and eventually fall out. Once you have lost that bone there is no way to get it back.

It is estimated that 75% of people at some point will suffer periodontal disease. I see a very high incidence of gum disease every day in my practice. The problem with oral disease (both decay and gum disease) is that it never hurts until it progresses to more advanced stages where the teeth begin to get loose. Gum disease is not inevitable and with proper care your teeth can last a lifetime.

To get a little more technical, oral byproducts enter the bloodstream and trigger the liver to make substances that inflame arteries and may cause blood clots that clog arteries leading to strokes and heart attacks. One of the substances that the liver makes in response to these bacteria and their byproducts is something called C Reactive Protein (CRP).

Elevated CRP is a known risk factor for heart disease. You might want to ask your doctor to run a CRP blood level.

Periodontal treatment is now part of the protocol when treating patients who have heart disease; the lucky ones anyway. Heart disease is still the number one killer (over 35% of deaths are from heart and heart related disease; from 2006 statistics). A normal CRP does not mean you do not have gum disease. Gum disease is a chronic condition and it may not be at a level to increase CRP by itself.

Obviously, gum disease is not the only risk factor but it is enough to have doctors and surgeons incorporate oral health as part of their treatment protocol. Periodontal disease is also linked to failure of hip replacements. In fact, you have to have a clean bill of oral health before you can have hip replacement surgery. Also, people who keep their own teeth live on an average of 10 years longer!

What does Invisalign have to do with potentially prolonging your life or your child’s life? Fixing crowded teeth is no longer done just for cosmetic reasons. Teeth that are aligned are easier to clean and take care of therefore reducing the risk of gum disease which can lead to heart and other disease.

Studies show the type of bacteria that collect around crooked teeth are more aggressive in causing gum disease. With options like Invisalign and Invisalign Teen straightening your teeth has never been easier. No more metal and wires with Invisalign. They can be removed to eat and to brush and floss so cleaning your teeth during treatment is easier reducing the risk of decay and other problems associated with traditional braces.

Healthy teeth and gums are essential to your overall health so get your teeth cleaned and checked regularly and consider straightening your teeth with Invisalign.

One of the newest forms of braces that are used today is lingual braces. Lingual braces are used to straighten teeth for both adults and adolescents. These braces use the same formula in essence that traditional braces would use – they still use a combination of metal brackets and wires to help straighten teeth. However, lingual braces are placed onto the back of your teeth and not onto the front. This makes it much harder for someone to determine that you are wearing braces. Your lips are not pushed out by braces, and your smile looks better from the very first days of treatment.

Lingual braces work in the same way as normal braces, and are also handled in the same way in regard to adjustments and tightening. The braces will be specifically tightened and positioned so that they allow for the correct movement of the teeth into the desired position. Just as with conventional braces, lingual braces help to fix crooked teeth, overbites or cross bites and also teeth with spaces in between them.

Lingual braces do cause an initial impact on speech (making it harder to say the letter “S”). This difficulty will be overcome with time as the tongue adapts to the new space it has to work in. It is also harder to clean the areas where the braces are placed, so brushing is more time consuming. Treatment times for lingual and conventional braces are broadly similar.

The best candidates for lingual braces are adults, where the teeth have fully erupted through the gums. However there are 2 main attributes that are needed to have in order to undergo this treatment. First the teeth and supporting gum tissue should be healthy – no active decay or gum disease. Second, there needs to be enough room in your mouth to actually be able to place the braces.
