Congratulations! You made it through your entire orthodontic treatment and now have a perfectly straight smile that you are proud to show off. To keep your new smile as straight as possible and to protect your investment in yourself, it is vital that you continue to wear your orthodontic retainer. Retainers are custom-made orthodontic appliances often prescribed after orthodontic treatment to keep your teeth in place after correcting and reshaping is complete. While retainers can be bothersome, it’s a small price to pay compared to the cost of braces all over again.

At Gibbs Orthodontic Associates, well-known orthodontic specialists in NYC on the Upper East Side offer the newest, high-quality permanent, fixed, and removable dental retainers.

Why It’s Important to Wear a Retainer?
Wearing a retainer is generally the last part of orthodontic treatment and your dentist will provide you with your retainer once your braces are removed or when you have finished using removable braces such as aligners. At this stage your teeth should be beautifully straight in the positions planned by your orthodontist. However, the “memory” of where your teeth used to be situated will remain. This isn’t so surprising when you consider your teeth and tooth roots will have been moved through your jawbone.

By wearing a retainer, you can ensure your teeth remain stable and in the correct positions as they settle down after treatment. Initially, your dentist may suggest you wear your retainer all the time, gradually reducing the time required until you only need to wear it overnight. This depends on whether you have a removable or fixed retainer.

A beautiful, healthy, white smile has the power to change your life and make you light up – inside and out! Experienced cosmetic dentists at Gibbs Orthodontic Associates are proud to offer our patients the very best teeth whitening experience in NY with faster appointments, superior results, and little to no sensitivity.

About Teeth Whitening
There can’t be anyone who would say no to the thought of having an attractive white smile. Whenever you see anybody with teeth that gleam with good health, you automatically know this is someone who takes care of themselves and has pride in their appearance, and of course, they want to look their best. But what if your teeth don’t look very white but instead are a slightly dingy gray or yellow color? Unfortunately, it is a common problem, and even the healthiest teeth can look stained and discolored, despite being well cared for and maintained. The good news is that getting a brighter and whiter smile has never been easier or more affordable, with multiple teeth whitening options to choose from.

What Are My Whitening Options?
When it comes to teeth whitening, you have several options to choose from, ranging from over-the-counter (OTC) products to professional treatments performed by a dentist. The effectiveness of each option can vary depending on the severity of your tooth discoloration and your desired results. Here are some common teeth whitening options:

Over-the-Counter (OTC) Whitening Products:
Whitening Toothpaste: Whitening toothpaste contains abrasive particles or mild chemical agents that help remove surface stains. They are a cost-effective option but may take some time to show noticeable results.
Whitening Strips: These are thin, flexible strips coated with a peroxide-based gel. You apply them to your teeth for a specified amount of time daily for a week or more. Results may be visible within a few days to a couple of weeks.
Whitening Gels and Trays: These kits typically include a gel with a lower concentration of peroxide, and custom-fitted trays that you wear over your teeth. They provide better coverage than strips but may take longer to achieve noticeable results.
Professional At-Home Whitening Kits:
Dentists can provide custom-fitted trays and higher-concentration whitening gels for use at home. These typically provide faster and more effective results than OTC options but are less potent than in-office treatments.

When to Seek Urgent Dental Care
It is vital to understand what constitutes a dental emergency so that you can be prepared and respond appropriately. While a chipped, cracked, or broken tooth may seem to be a life-threatening issue, you can usually make an appointment with your Stamford-based dentists Ali Modiri, DDS, and Marjan Moghadam, DDS within the following day or two to address it.

The most prevalent cause for seeking emergency dental care is toothache relief. Tooth pain can be caused by a tooth infection or tooth decay. These causes build gradually, implying that you haven’t been keeping up with your regular checkups and cleanings, and a simple problem has turned into a painful experience that requires immediate attention. Your Stamford dentist can still help you.

Types of Dental Emergencies
Other emergency problems that require immediate dentist assistance, in addition to tooth decay or infection, include:

Trauma. Accidents such as a car crash or a fall (whether down the stairs or off a bike) can result in serious facial and dental injuries. It is possible to have a broken tooth or a jarring misalignment of teeth. As a result of such a trauma, you may see blood in your mouth and experience jaw pain.
Sports-related injuries. An injury sustained while participating in sports is another common reason for urgent dental care. A pitch can hit you in the face, or an errant elbow can strike you. The damage can be serious, such as fracturing a tooth, loosening a dental crown, or knocking out your dental bridge completely.
Knocked-out teeth. While your teeth are strongly anchored in your gums, a direct hit can completely knock permanent teeth out of their sockets. To save the teeth, you must act quickly. Pick them up with caution, being careful not to damage the root or remove any tissue membrane. Clean the teeth gently with water and reinsert them in your mouth. If this isn’t possible, soak the knocked-out teeth in milk to keep them from drying out. Your Stamford dentist may still be able to restore them.
Pulpitis. Pulpitis is a condition that can result in heart conditions, meningitis, and even brain abscesses. It occurs when the pulp becomes inflamed as a result of untreated dental caries, resulting in a severe toothache and abscess. Because pulpitis is a serious condition, seek treatment at a nearby dental emergency clinic as soon as possible. You may also need gum disease treatment to resolve your periodontitis and avoid further infection.
Bleeding and swelling. Your body may react negatively to any oral surgery, including the procedure to get a dental implant. You may notice more blood in your mouth than expected, as well as significant swelling. These problems can be solved with urgent dental care.
Your treatment depends on the cause of the emergency and how severe your pain is. Stamford Dental Arts uses cutting-edge equipment to provide treatments such as emergency tooth extraction, root canal procedure, or cavity filling. This Stamford emergency dental center has everything you need.

Treatment for TMJ dysfunction may be required when you experience symptoms severely enough. If you ever feel extreme pain in the joints and muscles on either side of your jaw, call on your dentist as soon as you can.

Seeking Treatment for TMJ

Pinpointing the origin of your pain can be difficult, as there are often several reasons for a case of TMJ dysfunction to act up. While the condition can affect anyone, it surfaces more frequently in women than in men. The latest research indicates that certain hormonal fluctuations in women can create functional problems with the temporomandibular joint.

Our dental center is well equipped and expertly staffed to correctly diagnose TMJ dysfunction and prescribe TMJ treatment. Whatever the reason for your TMJ pain, the experienced dentist takes effective action to diminish your pain and address the source. Don’t hesitate to visit your family dentist, since jaw pain can spread to your face, your ears, and even your eyes.

Causes of TMJ Dysfunction
TMJ pain can come from a specific incident or from long-term wear and tear. For younger adults, TMJ is usually due to overuse and stress on the jaw muscle because of teeth grinding or jaw clenching. Sleep apnea sufferers also can experience TMJ for the same reason, resulting in muscle spasms in the jaw area.

For older people, the condition is usually linked to the breakdown of the joint muscle and cartilage due to rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis. Both of these diseases can weaken the jawbone, making you susceptible to fractures at the slightest trauma or accident. You can also suffer from jaw pain if your dentures or denture implants don’t fit you properly. Other causes for TMJ include:

Sports-related injuries where your jaw was directly hit
Injuries you get from accidents such as a car crash or bad fall
A misalignment of teeth, causing stress to your jaw whenever you chew
Tooth decay or a tooth infection that results in pulpitis or periodontitis
