The Braces Diaries
Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics is a wonderful field wherein the appearance of a person can be changed completely.
My body of work includes successful cases of myofunctional appliances ( predominantly twin block )
Lingual orthodontics.
debuted in India in 2015, and even though people and doctors around me were skeptical I had studied the system enough to know it’s a game changer.
We got accredited within the first two modules and have never looked back! Today we have 7 yrs of experience with Invisalign, have done two advanced training courses with the system, are a 3 time platinum elite status winner and have as a result treated over 200 patients purely with Invisalign
And YES!!! we have ALSO successfully treated even those who were told aligners (Invisalign ) cannot be done for you!!!

Can brushing be bad(?)
If you have sensitivity, It could be due to improper brushing technique.
Brushing too hard, or with the wrong bristle thickness toothbrush like a hard toothbrush can actually cause harm to your teeth.
It can be compounded with the use of toothpastes with high abrasive particles or tooth powders which are in general high
in abrasiveness.
It’s important to learn to brush the correct way and with the correct armamentarium.
Using a hard bristle toothbrush can wear off the outer protective layer of teeth called enamel, leading to exposure of the relatively softer dentin. Dentin has microscopic level tubules and fluids and nerve endings. When the tubules get exposed the dentinal fluid contracts or expands causing the the nerve endings to retract or get stimulated and this causes sensitivity. Popular sensitivity toothpastes actually work by reblocking the dentinal tubules making a coating and increasing the mineralisation of the teeth.
Another thing harming your teeth could be over brushing and brushing vigorously.
People tend to brush aggressively, thinking it’s the only to maintain hygiene & keep clean.. People also feel the teeth look white when they brush for long. However it’s the opposite because, because you are actually scrubbing off the enamel which is white & glossy making them look yellow and darker which is your dentine. And when that happens, you’re putting yourself at risk for developing sensitive teeth.
Remember the closer you go to the pulp the more sensitive your teeth get.
You also then get recession in your gums when you brush too hard. Which induces fire damage in the form of bone loss.
How to know if your technique of brushing is wrong?
Look at your toothbrush. If you’ve been using it for three months or less, the bristles must not be frayed. Frayed brushes are a clear indicator of too much pressure.
The correct way to brush your teeth?
It requires patience, but you can change hard-brushing ways, one of the first things to do is switch to a soft-bristled toothbrush.
It’s easier on the enamel.
Second Change the toothbrush every three months — or sooner if it frays.
Experts recommend the modified Bass method of brushing for normal healthy teeth and gums.
Place your toothbrush at 45-degree angle to your gums and the long axis of the tooth passing through the exact Center of your teeth. That way, the bristles can reach and clean underneath your gumline in the gingival
sulcus.
Gently move the brush back and forth. Use short, tooth-wide strokes to clean the outer, inner, and chewing surfaces of the teeth, the American Dental Asscociation recommends. If you’re using an electric toothbrush, let it do all the work and just lightly glide it over your teeth instead of pushing it against them. To lighten the forces, try holding your toothbrush in your left hand for right handed individuals and right hand for left handed individuals.
Brush for 30 seconds in each quadrant making it a total
Of two minutes every day morning and night. Use a timer. Or maybe an electric toothbrush which alerts you every you every 30 seconds.
When you are not in a hurry you are more likely to be gentle.
Sticking with these tips can help protect the health of your teeth, while eliminating symptoms of tooth sensitivity.
