STRAIGHTEN YOUR TEETH WITHOUT BRACES

STRAIGHTEN YOUR TEETH WITHOUT BRACES

When you think of methods for straightening your teeth, traditional wire braces probably come to mind, a process that can be uncomfortable, long, and for adults, not always attractive. Not everyone needs to wear wire braces for a perfectly aligned smile, however. Advances in cosmetic dentistry today have made it possible for dentists to offer faster, more comfortable solutions for attaining straighter teeth.

At Britannia Medical Center - The Enclave we offer three effective procedures that can bring you a straighter, healthier smile faster and more discreetly than with orthodontics braces. Come into our  office for a consultation and find out if Invisalign, veneers or cosmetic contouring could work for you.


Invisalign

Invisalign is one of the newest and most popular methods for achieving a straighter smile. This method uses clear, discreet aligners that are replaced every few weeks to gradually shift your teeth to their desired position. Invisalign trays are removable, making it easy to eat and brush as normal. Adults love Invisalign because no one can tell you are undergoing treatment, but your new smile will look straighter with each series of aligners that is completed. Invisalign treatment can usually be completed in just a year and generally works best for patients with minor teeth misalignment.


Veneers

Looking for a fast way to make your teeth look straighter without actually straightening your teeth? Veneers can instantly mask dental imperfections, giving the illusion of a perfectly aligned smile. This procedure involves applying durable, porcelain shells to the front of teeth to cover orthodontic problems. The added bonus is that you can improve the coloring and shape of your teeth at the same time- the ultimate smile makeover.


Cosmetic Contouring

Cosmetic contouring, also known as dental reshaping, is performed to correct crooked teeth, chipped teeth, cracked teeth or overlapping teeth in as little as one appointment. By making subtle changes to your teeth- just a few millimeters of reduction- your dentist can alter the length, shape or position of your teeth to create the perfect smile. This method is pain-free and is most commonly used on upper teeth.


Today, straightening your teeth without traditional orthodontic braces is possible. For severe malocclusion, Invisalign, veneers and contouring may not be the best solutions and traditional braces may be recommended.

Collagen I Anti - Ageing from the inside out

 

 Collagen is the most common protein in the human body, comprising about 30 percent of the body's total protein content. Collagen offers a wide variety of skin benefits, but the benefits vary depending upon environmental factors and how your body accesses collagen. Some products make extreme claims about their benefits, and applying collagen directly to the skin is unlikely to yield many benefits.

Skin Elasticity

Collagen helps your skin maintain its elasticity. This prevents your face from developing wrinkles every time you make an expression and accounts for the youthful appearance of younger skin. As you age, collagen tends to break down, and this reduces skin's elasticity, resulting in wrinkles, saggy skin, age spots and similar effects of aging.

Wrinkle Filler

When collagen breaks down, the expressions you've made throughout your life begin to show in your face. Exposure to sun can compound the effects, resulting in fine lines, wrinkles and sagging. Collagen injections won't prevent future wrinkles, but collagen is a popular wrinkle filler with effects that can last for months. Treatment is not permanent and will have to be repeated if you want to maintain your results.

Scar Treatment

Collagen can also be used as a filler for scars, particularly those caused by acne. As you age and collagen breaks down, your skin can scar more easily -- and the scars may be deeper and more pronounced. Injecting collagen into the scars can help minimize or even eliminate their appearance. As with wrinkle-fighting collagen injections, though, the results only last for a few months.

“NOSE, WHY YOU NO LET ME SLEEP?” 5 WAYS TO PREVENT COLDS FROM KEEPING YOU UP ALL NIGHT

 

 

Being struck with common cold can be really frustrating. Not only would it prevent you from enjoying your favorite dishes, but it would also make your snooze sessions very uncomfortable. Sure, you can take some medicine for cough and colds as well as drink lots of liquids to make the sickness go away, but you need to make a few sleeping adjustments on your own (at least, while you’re still down under). So if you’re having trouble catching those Zzz’s, then here are five bedtime tips you can try out to help you on your way to Dreamland.

Elevate Your Head As You Sleep

Surprisingly, a lot of people don’t know how to do this properly, stacking up two to three pillows together so they can rest their heads. This is wrong as by doing so the head may lean forward, leading to worse sleeping and breathing problems. Instead, you should get a wedge pillow, which is triangular in shape. This will lift your upper body in a slanting position, which is more helpful if you have cold since it allows the mucus to drain away from your nasal cavities. If you don’t have a wedge shaped pillow, you needn’t buy one; you can simply stack up your pillows in a triangular shape to achieve a similar effect.

Try Nasal Sprays

There are different kinds of nasal sprays out there, each suitable for different needs. These include decongestant nasal sprays, which don’t need a prescription and can provide instant relief for those with stuffy noses. Use it before heading to sleep to clear out your nasal cavities for better breathing. But do be warned to use these sprays for just a few days since constant usage can worsen the problem with the inflammation of the mucous membranes.

Take a Warm Shower

A warm shower before bedtime is a tried and tested way to clear the sinuses. It will also make your nasal passages contract, allowing some of the inflammation to subside. It also moisturizes the air in your body, which will definitely help you drift off into Dreamland in no time.

Use Mentholated Topical Cream

Mentholated topical creams help open up your nasal passages, as well as provide a cooling sensation which makes breathing easier. So get some from your nearest drugstore. Be warned, though; it’s not recommended for children younger than two, and you should not rub it directly under your nostrils—no matter how tempted you are!

Drink Plenty of Water

By drinking lots of water throughout the day, you’re keeping your throat moist and your body hydrated. This will help in alleviating any of the congestions you’re presently feeling, and it will definitely help you sleep later at night. It can also help ease away the coughing you are feeling at that present moment. So have a bottle of water beside your bed just in case you wake up because of your coughing.

A TOXIC HABIT: 6 HEALTH PROBLEMS BROUGHT ABOUT BY SMOKING TOBACCO

 

 

 

Campaigns against the use of tobacco have been rampant ever since people found out about the excruciatingly painful consequences it could give smokers and non-smokers alike. Despite this, production and consumption has continued, and along with it comes the countless patients paying the price.

We’ve always been aware of the negative effects smoking tobacco can have on the body, often relying on medicines for coughs and colds as short-term remedies for its consequences. We discourage our loved ones from practicing the habit, telling them that it would lead to serious health complications if they don’t stop. Nothing can be further from the truth! Listed below are some of the health problems tobacco smokers (and non-smokers) can contract:

Lung Diseases

Let’s start with the most obvious! Smoking tobacco damages lungs the most and it can leads to many types of pulmonary diseases from chronic bronchitis to emphysema. In some cases, it could even lead to lung cancer!

Heart Diseases

Tobacco smokers are also more prone to a number of heart diseases. The habit leaves their blood vessels damaged and their heart beating at a faster rate, causing their blood pressure to go up as well as their blood to clot unhealthily. If unchecked, these symptoms would subsequently lead to various cardiovascular illnesses like stoke and heart attack!

Cancer

As mentioned above, smoking could lead to lung cancer. But did you know that it could also lead to other types of malignant cancers like those on the blood, bladder, cervix, esophagus, kidney, stomach, and oropharynx? Better believe it! Smoking tobacco increases your risk of having tumor in your body.

Diabetes

It’s proven that smokers are 30 to 40% more prone to having diabetes than non-smokers. That’s right! Sugar isn’t the only white devil that could ruin your pancreas. In fact, studies also show that smoking tobacco can increase your risk for type 2 diabetes mellitus!

Pregnancy Risks

Pregnant women who smoke tobacco can bring negative, if not devastating, effects on her baby’s health. Smoking can increase the risk of a lot of pregnancy hazards, including low birth weight, SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome), ectopic pregnancy, orofacial clefts, and, most horrible of all, stillbirths.

Oral Infection

Lastly, by smoking tobacco, you risk losing good dental hygiene. Not only does it cause your teeth to go yellowy, but it would also cause a whole truckload of other dental infections like bad breath, bleeding gums, tartar, and teeth loss.

As you may well have observed above, tobacco use has been identified to be damaging and disturbing to your body and health. You should also know that smoking causes more deaths each year than the combined cases of HIV, drug use, alcohol use, motor vehicle accidents and firearm-related incidents. You can just read the studies made by various health organizations around the world to fully understand how dangerous it could be.

Fresh Breath Starts on the Tongue

 

 

If you’re tired of hiding embarrassment about your bad breath with mints and chewing gum, adding a new appliance to your dental shelf might be the solution. Tongue scrapers have a long and ancient history of success, and there’s no reason you shouldn’t consider using one too. Britannia Medical Center - The Enclave, is here to explain how tongue scrapers can help relieve your bad breath.

 

What is Halitosis?

Hiding out all over your tongue, but especially in the back where they can remain undisturbed, are billions of bacteria. These evildoers feast on the residual proteins left behind by food, and release compounds that have foul smells, including volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs). Chronic bad breath that persists in spite of your best efforts to eliminate it is called halitosis. The bacteria that cause bad breath are found mostly on the tongue, which is the first thing you should treat if you’re tired of putting your hand in front of your mouth every time you speak.

Tongue Scraper vs. Toothbrush

Some people end their tooth brushing session by scrubbing their tongue, while others drag a piece of floss across it, but neither of these methods compare to the effectiveness of a tongue scraper–a small tool with a handle, and either bristles or a textured surface at one end. Occasional, you may find tongue scrapers made simply from some material, usually stainless steel, bent into an arch. In a 2004 study, which compared the degree of bacteria removed by a toothbrush to the amount removed by a tongue scraper, the scraper won by a huge margin. Toothbrush users were only able to reduce VSC’s by 45%, while the tongue scrapers managed a 75% reduction.

Using a Tongue Scraper

Though it may not be a regular part of your daily oral hygiene regimen, using a tongue scraper is an effective addition to your brushing and flossing routine. Scrapers are generally inexpensive, and reach parts of your tongue that atoothbrush usually can’t. After seeing the films of plaque that come off your tongue after the first scrape, you probably wont go without it again.

POUNDING PAIN! 5 TYPES OF HEADACHES

 

Headaches are unfortunately a part of life. We often drink medicine for headache and fever to ease away the pain, but knowing which one to take will be easier if you know what particular type of headache you have. Check out our list of headaches to see if you have one of these.

MIGRAINE

 

Sometimes you may notice that you have a headache that lasts for so long, it feels like you’re only a few pounds away from going nuts! This is no longer an ordinary headache but a migraine. Migraines are moderate to severe headaches that are on one side only and can ache for several hours to even three days. It may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, light sensitivity and sound sensitivity. Most sufferers noticed pain at the back of the head or neck before or while the pain is ongoing. The pain then stays put on just one side of the head. It can cause a disruption to one’s routine. It can be treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like aspirin or your doctor can prescribe preventive medication if attacks occur more than four paralyzing attacks.

ICEPICK HEADACHE

 

Do you know what an ice pick is? It is a pointed tool used to break and chip blocks of ice. To do this, one must do a stabbing motion. Imagine that that is what is happening to your head. Ouch, right? That is what happens when you have an ice pick headache or as it is properly called in medicine, Primary Stabbing Headache. It is a painful headache where you can feel as if your temples, eye or parietal area is being stabbed once or multiple times. The pain can be so intense that it causes tears and stuffy nose. These headaches do not last long as the attacks may only last for just few seconds but it may happen anytime during the day. There is no determined time period between attacks. These headaches may be an independent symptom but more often than not, they are connected to another cranial problem such as migraines, stroke or head trauma, which may in turn be the cause of the headache.

TENSION HEADACHE

 

Imagine a band is wrapped around your head. Got it? Now imagine this band being tightened. Stop. Now imagine your head with that pain. This is what you call a tension headache. These headaches occur in the temples and front of your head. The pain is bearable for most people and will not hinder their work. Some of the theorized causes of tension headaches are stress, awkward sleeping positions, and muscular tightness over your scalp and at the back of your neck. To treat this, take a painkiller or for a total lifestyle change, cut down on the caffeine and hydrate more.

MENSTRUAL MIGRAINES

 

Women worldwide undergo a monthly bodily function that is not only painful but irritating as well: Menstruation. Women will have several symptoms ranging from muscle cramps to uterus pain but the one obvious symptom that some women do not contribute to this process is menstrual migraines. This may occur two days before their cycle and during the first three. These headaches last longer than the usual headaches and women may only see the link between their period and headaches when they are well into their thirties. The cause of this migraine is a drop in estrogen levels, according to studies. These headaches also occur more often in women who take birth control pills. To treat it, start taking Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications two days before the start of the cycle, ending only when the cycle is over.

DEHYDRATION HEADACHES

 

There are times when you are so busy you actually forget to drink water. Then you develop a headache in one side of your head. Moving your head or just walking around worsens the pain. The solution is very simple: drink water or something with electrolytes, such as a sports drink. Do not drink too much or too fast as this may cause water poisoning.

 If the pain is too intense or has been consistent for a few days, go see a doctor

What Is Radio Frequency?

Radio frequency or RF is a low energy electrical current plus heat to push together your collagen fibers (they spread or rip apart as you age). This treatment stimulates and increases collagen production by nearly 20%! This helps to tighten loose skin.

Rf is massaged into the problem area and triggers collagen production, essentially tightening and toning the skin. This is comparable to shrink wrapping your skin. This is perfect for anyone that has lost weight due to diet or pregnancy and now has loose, stretched skin.


This treatment does two things. It tightens the skin but it ALSO uses an electrical pulse to kill fat cells in the treatment area. Together they sculpt the treatment area and is the best way to really target a specific problem area. This is something that cannot be entirely done at the gym or with diet.
It is non-invasive body contouring and provides long lasting results for an improved and more sculpted body.
