there are so many who see these little ones as pests.....let me tell you they are as wonderful as your dog or cat....they play, they love, they're intelligent (and clever). They have a really hard life....what with hateful humans who set glue traps, regular traps, shoot them with BB guns or hunt them in general. They have to deal with cars, cats and dogs who catch them for sport, predators who catch them for food. The babies fall out of nests and sustain head and internal injuries, they may also suffer malocclusion and odontomas as a result of a jaw injury. Squirrels are prone to diseases such as squirrel pox or viruses from raccoons, etc. They also have a difficult time finding water and food sources. In the wild most of them don't make it to a year old, some make it to 3, 5 at the most. Their lifespan can actually be 18 to 20 years. Please, please be kind and compassionate to these little loving beings..... and pass it on. Thank you.

This jaw structure in just about any other animal would represent major malocclusion, but for the black skimmer it represents the norm. The extra-heavy, extra-long lower mandible works like a blade, that when lowered into the water as the bird flies inches above the surface, cuts through with smooth precision. When a fish is encountered, the jaw snaps shut and the skimmer has lunch. Flying, these birds are agile and astounding. They seem, somehow, grossly disproportioned when standing. #BlackSkimmer

----------------------------
Nail biting, is an oral compulsive habit (sometimes described as a parafunctional activity; the common use of the mouth for an activity other than speaking, eating or drinking).
Nail biting usually leads to deleterious effects in fingers, but also mouth and more generally the digestive system. These consequences are directly derived from the physical damage of biting or from the hands becoming an infection vector. Moreover, it can also have a social impact.
The ten fingernails are usually equally bitten to approximately the same degree. Biting nails can lead to broken skin on the cuticle. When cuticles are improperly removed, they are susceptible to microbial and viral infections such as paronychia. Saliva may then redden and infect the skin. In rare cases, fingernails may become severely deformed after years of nail biting due to the destruction of the nail bed.
Nail biting is also related to oral problems, such as gingival injury, and malocclusion of the anterior teeth. It can also transfer pinworms or bacteria buried under the surface of the nail from the anus region to the mouth. When the bitten-off nails are swallowed, stomach problems can develop.
Nail-biting is also associated to guilt and shame feelings in the nail biter, a reduced quality of life, and increased stigmatisation in the inner family circles or at a more societal level.

This image highlights a page from one of the most cited articles in all of dentistry -- Angle's article in which he described a conceptual framework for diagnosis and treatment of malocclusions -- when a person's teeth don't fit together in a way that allows them to work well.

Misaligned position of teeth is a conventional issue. It is for the most part called dental malocclusion. It can be fixed by having orthodontic invisible braces. These braces adjust the courses of action of crowded teeth in a small period and this is an absolutely pain free procedure.

hahaha i'm JAMMIN' like a wild woman. i intended to take a photo of my teeth---just wrapped up a PAINFUL and LONG (over a year) dental procedure process necessary because of my bruxism. I am a bruxer. I fracture the roots of my teeth from parafunctional activity, namely jaw clenching. Get a night guard, people!
I cannot describe to you what it feels like (despite multiple novacaine shots) to have a large titanium screw screwed into your jaw with a torque wrench.
A 'special needs' bunny that is now called Dominic has turned my life around and been an inspiration for my many undertakings. In December 2011, I fell in love at first sight when I first saw this bony little thing brought to Companion Care vets at my local Pets at Home store by one of their staff. I found that he was "a special needs bunny" and needed a full examination to confirm his state of health before he was put up for adoption. The next day I was phoned by the vet with a long list of the bunny's conditions, only because I expressed an interest the day before. About 5 y.o., this poor soul was not rehomeable due to the high cost of the regular treatments he required and was going to be put to sleep because of this cost. They were not going to give him much hope at all. Wanting to give him another chance in life, I offered to adopt the poor little mite.
The Pets at Home's store kindly paid for his operations including castration, tear ducts flushing, and dental work. His teeth were in horrendously neglected condition, having grown right through his upper and lower jaws, out into his cheeks, into eyes causing the infections there, blocking his tear ducts and giving him awful mouth sores so he could not feed. A vet called Dominic operated on the bunny over the weekend, Saturday and Sunday. In constant pain, he had not eaten properly for a long time. He was just skin and bones, so malnourished and weak they did not even think that he would survive the operations. But he pulled through! And I named him after the vet who saved his life.
Dominic's health conditions includes Enamel Hypoplasia, Molar / Incisor Malocclusion, Dacryocystitis, Mats, Nasal discharge (suspected Pasteurellosis or low grade snuffles), and means that his care is very involving.
Brought home, it seemed like Dominic was eating his pellets non-stop for whole 2 weeks. He has several different kinds of pellets and supplements because he is unable to chew straw and even his greens have to be chopped finely. Despite my best attempts and many tricks to get him to eat hay, I learnt that he is not able to do it. His teeth are blunt and thick stumps, not the usual razor sharp bunny incisors, making him unable to crush even carrot tops and parsley which all our other rabbits adore so much with stems quickly disappearing up their little faces. Dominic tried hard but it all got caught up in his mouth, a sorry sight. He really tries with his greens and makes a total mess of Curly Kale and Spring Greens leaves in the process, but is able to eat them better than long stringy carrot top and parsley stalks. I have to select the tenderest leaves and chop them into fine salad for him to be able to eat them. It became clear early on that Dominic loved carrots and I must admit I treat him to this delicacy a little more than I do the others, along with some banana and apple. His main feed is a mix of good pellet foods with a sprinkling of SF-50 and calcium powders, mainly because he needs to get the best nutrition possible to make his teeth better.
He is a loving and gentle bunny who gets frightened easily. He quickly learnt to use his litter-tray to become a free range house bun, coming to nudge for his favourite face tickles each time I walk past him, absolutely adores fuss and will sit on my lap to be stroked for as long as I will take him. When the weather's good, he is allowed to play in the outside bunny run where he has so much fun, jumping running, doing little twists and shaking his "helicopter" ears. But, still sensitive about his teeth, he hates his mouth touched. We have to clean the muck out of his eyes twice a day and put in antibiotic drops or they will get infected.
Dominic has to have monthly vet checkups. The first time I brought him in, the vet was surprised how well he was doing when they weren't even sure he would pull through. He has put on weight and looks much better now. His care will cost around £200 per operation, several times a year.
Dominic was the driving force and inspiration behind the Hedgehogs and Bunnies website and blog. His courage and the will to live have made me love animals more than ever before. It is because of him that we have gone meat, dairy, egg-free, and cruelty-free cosmetics and chemicals in our house. Although I had 4 rabbits (3 of them rescued) already, it was Dominic who changed my life.
It turned out he was just brought into the store as he wasn’t wanted any longer… His previous people let him down by making him so very sick and abandoning him. Although bringing him in was a right thing to do: any longer and it would have been too late for poor Dominic. Because of their negligence and cruelty he spent most of his short life lonely, suffering and miserable, and nearly lost his life. I hope those people realise one day what a sweet, gentle and loving companion they'd missed out on and I wish we could say to them "You nearly killed him but just look at him now!"
Whether it is you or your child, Braces can correct malocclusion or an improper bite, improve chewing ability, and improve your speech. Orthodontic treatment is a way to give you something to smile.

Orthodontic misalignments, called malocclusions, can indicate a number of different conditions. Inherited malocclusions include jaw growth problems, congenitally missing teeth, extra teeth, crowded or protruded teeth and spacing problems. However, the premature loss of baby teeth, retention of baby teeth, thumb- or finger-sucking, accidents and certain types of dental disease can also result in a need for orthodontic treatment.

Leo needs urgent dental surgery for malocclusion causing molar spurs and infection - there is also a mass/possible abscess needing to be drained. Additionally, his liver function and renal output needs to be checked, so full blood and urine will be taken. He is in a lot of pain and unable to eat normally, so I am syringe feeding critical care and mush around the clock, as well as administering painkillers and gut drugs as this dental issue inevitably caused his first bout of GI stasis last week. I am fighting to keep him out of it. His diagnostics, sedation, procedure, inpatient care, medication and aftercare is going to cost nearly $2k which I am frantically trying to raise as my boy deserves to live - he is playful, he has a beautiful spirit, he loves life, he loves cuddles, he even gives his vet kisses despite his pain - please help me help my boy.

Questions From Patients
How do I know if my child is in need of orthodontic treatment?
It is usually difficult for you to determine if treatment is necessary because there are many problems that can occur even though the front teeth look straight. Also, there are some problems that look intimidating and complex which will resolve on their own. Asking your general dentist is good reference, but we are your best resource since orthodontics is all we do. Our initial exam is complimentary and we would be more than happy to see your child and make any recommendations necessary.
What are the early symptoms of orthodontic problems?
Although determining if treatment is necessary is difficult for you to assess, the following symptoms may help in prompting you to seek our orthodontic advice.
Ask your child to open their mouth, and let you look at their teeth. If you see any signs of crooked teeth, gaps between your child’s teeth or overlapping teeth, your child may need orthodontic treatment.
Ask your child to bite all the way down, but keeping their lips open so you can see their teeth. Do the front top teeth line up with the bottom? Do the top teeth protrude out away from the bottom teeth? Do the top front teeth cover more than 50% of the bottom teeth? Are the top teeth behind the bottom teeth? All these are indicators for potential orthodontic treatment.
Look at the alignment of your child’s jaw. Does the jaw shift off center when your child bites down? If you see any misalignment or shifting of the jaw, your child may have a skeletal problem, which requires early orthodontic intervention.
These are only some of the obvious symptoms of orthodontic problems.
What age should my child be seen by an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that your child be evaluated by age seven. Early detection of some orthodontic problems is important in order to take early corrective action and avoid more difficult treatment later.
Can you be too old for braces?
No, age is not a factor, only the health of your gums and bone which support your teeth. About 25% of our orthodontic patients are adults and that number is still growing!
Will it hurt?
Orthodontic treatment has improved dramatically. As a rule, braces make your teeth sore for a few days, but it is not painful. This annoyance can be relieved with an over-the-counter pain reliever. Today’s braces are smaller, more comfortable and use technology that reduces the discomfort. We use the latest in miniature braces and the highest quality of orthodontic materials in order to reduce discomfort and treatment time.
Can I still have braces if I have missing teeth ?
Yes. When teeth are missing, adjacent teeth will drift into the empty space. This will cause a functional, esthetic or periodontal problem. Orthodontic treatment will correct and prevent these problems from happening and will also provide proper alignment for your dentist to replace the missing teeth.
Questions About Treatment
What is Phase I (Interceptive Treatment) and Phase II treatment?
Phase I or Interceptive Treatment usually starts while the child has most of their baby teeth and a few of their permanent front incisors. This stage in development is usually about the age of seven. The goal of Phase I treatment is to intercept a moderate or severe orthodontic problem early in order to reduce or eliminate it. These problems include skeletal dysplasias, crossbites and crowding. Phase I treatment takes advantage of the early growth spurt and turns a difficult orthodontic problem into a more manageable one. This helps reduce the need for extractions or surgery and delivers better long term results and treatment options. Most Phase I patients require a Phase II treatment in order to achieve an ideal bite.
Phase II treatment usually occurs a number of years later. Usually we are waiting for 12-16 more permanent teeth to erupt before Phase II begins. This most commonly occurs at the age of 12 or 13. The goal of Phase II treatment is to achieve an ideal occlusion with all of the permanent teeth.
What is Full or Comprehensive Orthodontic Treatment?
This is another name for orthodontic treatment in the permanent dentition at any age. It is more commonly used when a Phase I treatment was not performed.
Does everyone need a Phase I treatment?
Absolutely not! Only certain bites require early intervention. All others can wait until most if not all their permanent teeth erupt.
Can I wait on Phase I/Interceptive Orthodontic Treatment until my child is older?
This is not recommended. If your child needs Phase I treatment this usually means that he has a difficult problem that requires attention now. If no orthodontic action is taken, treatment options become limited, more difficult, and the long term stability may be compromised. In addition, it may lead to extractions, oral surgery and increase costs.
What is the length or duration of orthodontic treatment?
Braces may be on between 6 months to 30 months, or longer depending on the age of the patient, the severity of the problem, the patient’s cooperation, and the degree of movement possible.
What are extraction and non-extraction therapy, and what are the advantages and disadvantages of each?
Extraction therapy is a technique where some teeth are removed to make room for the other teeth in your child’s mouth. This is in contrast to non-extraction therapy where one expands a patients’ jaw and shave down some teeth to make everything fit.
What are lingual braces?
Lingual braces are mounted behind a patient’s teeth. They were used many years ago, before the advent of orthocosmetic ™ braces. Lingual braces are rarely used anymore. Generally, lingual braces are more uncomfortable than standard braces. Orthodontic treatment takes twice as long and is more costly. In addition, some people have trouble talking with lingual braces. Presently, Lingual braces are only used in special clinical cases.
Will I pay extra for designer braces, colored ligatures and brackets or flavored rubber bands?
Yes, but your stress levels will drop when your child looks forward to their visit at our office! In addition, the cost for these braces is a minor fraction of the cost of orthodontic treatment. Considering the time spent, orthodontics is regarded as dentistry’s best value.
Is orthodontic care expensive?
When orthodontic treatment is implemented at the proper time, treatment is often less costly than the dental care required to treat the more serious problems that can develop years later.
Orthodontic fees have not increased as fast as many other consumer products. Financing is usually available and our office offers many payment programs that will meet your needs. In addition, many insurance plans now include orthodontics.
Questions About TMJ Disorder and Wisdom Teeth
Can orthodontic treatment help me with Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) problems?
There are some associations with a bite that is not correct (malocclusion) and TMJ disorders. TMJ disorders are a family of problems related to your complex jaw joint. If you have had symptoms like pain or a “clicking” sound, you’ll be glad to know that these problems are more easily diagnosed and treated than they were in the past. Since some types of TMJ problems can lead to more serious conditions, early detection and treatment are important.
No one treatment can resolve TMJ disorders completely and treatment takes time to be effective. Drs. Graver, Marshall and Underwood can help you have a healthier and more comfortable jaw.
TMJ disorders develop for many reasons. You might clench or grind your teeth, tightening your jaw muscles and stressing your TM joint. Or, you may have a damaged jaw joint due to injury or disease. Whatever the cause, the results may include a misaligned bite, pain, clicking or grating noises when you open your mouth, or trouble opening your mouth wide.
Do You Have a TMJ Disorder?
Are you aware of grinding or clenching your teeth?
Do you wake up with sore, stiff muscles around your jaws?
Do you have frequent headaches or neck aches?
Does the pain get worse when you clench your teeth?
Does stress make your clenching and pain worse?
Does your jaw click, pop, grate, catch, or lock when you open your mouth?
Is it difficult or painful to open your mouth, eat or yawn?
Have you ever injured your neck, head or jaws?
Have you had problems (such as arthritis) with other joints?
Do you have teeth that no longer touch when you bite?
Do your teeth meet differently from time to time?
Is it hard to use your front teeth to bite or tear food?
Are your teeth sensitive, loose, broken or worn?
The more times you answered “yes,” the more likely it is that you have a TMJ disorder. Understanding TMJ disorders will also help you understand how they’re treated.
There are various treatment options that we can utilize to improve the harmony and function of your jaw. Once an evaluation confirms a diagnosis of TMJ disorder, we will determine the proper course of treatment. It is important to note that treatment always works best with a team approach of self-care as well as professional care.
Do wisdom teeth affect crowding of teeth after braces have been removed?
Unfortunately, the answer is not entirely clear. There are data to support and refute the claims that wisdom teeth cause crowding after braces have been removed. For this reason, we recommend wearing retainers full time after removal of braces. The orthodontist will tell you when you can switch to nighttime only wearing. Each patient is different so the time interval to go to nighttime only depends on the individual case. Always follow exactly what the orthodontists have told you to do.
The average adult has thirty-two teeth by age eighteen: sixteen teeth on the top and sixteen teeth on the bottom. Each tooth in the mouth has a specific name and function. The teeth in the front of the mouth (incisors, canine and bicuspid teeth) are ideal for grasping and biting food into smaller pieces while the back teeth, or molar teeth, are used to grind food up into a consistency suitable for swallowing.
However, the average mouth is made to hold only 28 teeth. It can be painful when 32 teeth try to fit in a mouth that holds only 28 teeth. These four other teeth are your Third Molars, also known as “wisdom teeth.”
Why Should I Remove My Wisdom Teeth?
Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to erupt within the mouth. When they align properly, and gum tissue is healthy, wisdom teeth do not have to be removed. Unfortunately, this does not generally happen. The extraction of wisdom teeth is necessary when they are prevented from properly erupting within the mouth. They may grow sideways, partially emerge from the gum, and even remain trapped beneath the gum and bone. Impacted teeth can take many positions in the bone as they attempt to find a pathway that will allow them to erupt successfully.
These poorly positioned impacted teeth can cause many problems. When they are partially erupted, the opening around the tooth allows bacteria to grow and will eventually cause an infection. The result: swelling, stiffness, pain and illness. The pressure from the erupting wisdom tooth may move other teeth and disrupt the orthodontic or natural alignment of teeth. The most serious problem occurs when tumors or cysts form around the impacted wisdom tooth, resulting in the destruction of the jawbone and healthy teeth. Removal of the offending impacted tooth or teeth usually resolves these problems.

Photo taken at "The Raptor Trust", one of the premier wild bird rehabilitation centers in the United States
On October 12th 2013, I attended the 'Raptor Trusts' photo shoot, which was awesome! For those not familiar with the Raptor Trust, check out the Raptor Trust Website HERE for information of all the great work they do. They are located in Millington NJ (Great Swamp)
The number of birds they rescue every year is really quite amazing.
The photoshoot happens twice a year. It allows 10 photographers a chance to get up close to a few of the birds. It was real informative, and it was awesome being able to get close to these amazing birds. (We saw Screech Owl, Barred Owl, Barn Owl, Red-Tailed Hawk, Broad-Winged Hawk, American Kestrel, and a Peregrine Falcon. It was a really great time...
Norman, a Broad-Winged Hawk, came to us from an animal shelter in his hatching year on December 10, 2004. He appeared to be kept in a wire cage for a period of time. Broad-Winged Hawks are shy and live in thick woods. They migrate by the thousands during September and can be seen along Appalachian ridges; some migrate as far as South America. Norman has malocclusion (improper meeting fo the upper and lower beak) and a fracture in his left shoulder that caused reduced extension of his wing; therefore, he has no sustainable flight. Norman may be a little rough around the edges,but he is a popular and much loved additon to our educational programs..
Leo needs urgent dental surgery for malocclusion causing molar spurs and infection - there is also a mass/possible abscess needing to be drained. Additionally, his liver function and renal output needs to be checked, so full blood and urine will be taken. He is in a lot of pain and unable to eat normally, so I am syringe feeding critical care and mush around the clock, as well as administering painkillers and gut drugs as this dental issue inevitably caused his first bout of GI stasis last week.

Are you fed up with people laughing at you because of your crooked teeth?
And, you are looking forward to improving your smile?
In that case, Invisalign can be an excellent option for a smile makeover.
Braces are one of the most apparent remedies for Orthodontic Problems. Still, with an increasing number of kids and adults requiring their teeth to be straightened, another option known as Invisalign has become popular.
Let's learn everything about Invisalign: Definition, Pros, Cost, Cleaning Regime.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign are clear teeth aligners that help correct smiles and are currently at the forefront of Dental Technology. Clear aligners like Invisalign are the most popular alternative to braces. From mild overbites and underbites to malocclusions, Invisalign can help.
Invisalign Clear Aligners comprise FDA-approved medical-grade plastic that has no BPA, BPS, latex, or gluten. They are nearly unnoticeable since they are thin, translucent, and fit securely over your teeth.
Invisalign must be worn on both your upper and lower teeth. Your teeth will gradually straighten while the aligners are worn. The aligners, unlike traditional braces, must be removed when eating or drinking non-clear liquids. Each pair of aligners is typically worn for 22 hours each day, five to seven days. After that, you change to a fresh pair of aligners. Although treatment times vary, most people wear their aligners for 6 to 12 months.
By revolutionising the world of orthodontic care and making straight teeth and healthy smiles available to more individuals worldwide, Invisalign has helped over 7+ million people attain stunning smiles.
Why should you consider Invisalign?
1.Invisible:
The invisibility of Invisalign Clear Teeth Aligners is one of their key advantages. In other words, they are more visually appealing, and most people will not notice you are wearing them. Most people find Braces unattractive, and thus, Invisalign is a perfect choice for teens and adults who want to straighten their teeth while confidently smiling without procrastination.
2.Quick Process:
Straightening your teeth with conventional orthodontic procedures like Metal Braces might take a long time. Wearing metal braces, for example, can take up to 5 years to align your teeth. Straightening your teeth using Invisalign, on the other hand, could take up to a year and a half. Treatment time with Invisalign is up to 50% faster, with 75 per cent better predictability in teeth straightening.
3.Comfort:
With Invisalign, you are guaranteed to have a pleasant experience. Since there are no sharp or protruding edges, one doesn't need to brood over painful nicks or cuts in the mouth. Additionally, Invisalign Clear Teeth Aligners are customised to fit your teeth and mouth!
4.Hygiene:
Invisalign Clear Teeth Aligners are removable! When you're ready to wash and floss your teeth, all you have to do is remove the Invisalign Teeth Aligners, clean your teeth, and pop them back into your mouth. Cleaning the Invisalign is also possible! Remove the trays and clean with your toothbrush to ensure there is no buildup. It's essential to maintain oral hygiene when straightening your teeth so you can smile your brightest at the end of the Invisalign Treatment!
5.No Food Restrictions:
One of the most frustrating parts of teeth straightening with Metal Braces is the food restrictions. When you use conventional ways to straighten your teeth, you will be unable to eat various foods.
Example: Hard Taco Shells, Pretzels, Popcorns, Nuts, Gums, Hard Cookies
Anything that is excessively hard, chewy, or sticky is forbidden too!
Nevertheless, Invisalign is unaffected by these concerns. Fortunately, you can eat whatever you want with Invisalign. Remove the trays and eat as much as you like! Just remove your Invisalign Teeth Aligners before you dig into your food.
What will be the Treatment Process?
Step 1: At My Gentle Dentist, we will start with the Invisalign Treatment with a consultation. Your Dentist will examine your teeth and chalk out a customised Digital Treatment Plan, which will show how your smile will change over time.
Step 2: If you choose to move forward with the Invisalign Treatment, a series of 3D digital impressions will be taken.
Step 3: The images created with the help of 3D imprints are submitted to the Invisalign laboratories. Next, a unique set of trays will be made by the team there for you. Depending on the severity of the misalignment, the number of trays in each patient's series will vary.
Step 4: Patients are required to return to our Dental Clinic to pick up their trays, and the procedure will be illustrated to you by your Dentist.
Step 5: You'll wear each set of aligners for 20- 22 hours every day, changing them every 1 to 2 weeks as suggested by your Dentist. According to your Invisalign Treatment plan, each set of aligners will softly and gradually push your teeth into place until you get your new smile.
What is the cost of Invisalign Treatment?
The cost of Invisalign Treatment in Australia range from $4,000 -$7,000. Kindly note, Invisalign is an orthodontic procedure whose price varies from case to case.
Nevertheless, there are several ways to make Invisalign more economical for you.
My Gentle Dentist Brookside is proud to be part of Bupa Members First.
All Health Funds with Dental Extra, such as Peoplecare, Medibank, Medicare, HBF, and AAMI, are accepted by us.
How to clean Invisalign?
Got your custom-made Invisalign Teeth Aligners fitted by your Orthodontist but have zero knowledge regarding how to clean them properly? Don't worry!
It is super easy, and it will become part and parcel of your oral hygiene routine in no time.
1.Clean The Aligners Twice Daily:
Since you will be wearing the aligners for a prolonged period, it is crucial to clean your Invisalign Teeth Aligners twice a day, once in the morning and before hitting the bed at night. Make it a habit to clean them with a soft toothbrush using an antibacterial denture cleanser or home-based remedies. It is better to keep a separate toothbrush for your aligners because using your regular toothbrush can leave behind small particles on them. Before fixating the aligners inside your mouth, rinse it with lukewarm water. Avoid using boiling water because the heat can distort the shape of your aligners.
2. Remove The Aligners Before Eating/ Drinking:
Never forget to remove the Aligners before indulging in a meal. Otherwise, tartar and plaque can grow on the surface and leave behind stains. Besides, there's a high chance that your aligners can crack while chewing sticky/hard/chewy food.
3.Keep Your Aligners In A Retainer Case:
Taking out your Aligner before eating/drinking and misplacing them is a common occurrence. Additionally, leaving them out in the open can lead to the accumulation of bacteria. Thus, always store your aligners in an orthodontic retainer case to keep them safe and squeaky clean.
4. Regularly Soak The Aligners:
To keep your Aligners smelling their best, make it a practice to regularly soak them in Invisalign's cleaning crystals or other home-based solutions for a minimum of 10-15 minutes. Avoid dissolving the cleaning crystals/ home-based solution in piping-hot water. The Aligners can get damaged due to the heat and affect your teeth-straightening treatment.
Post-sterilization, rinse the Aligners with cold water to wash away any remnants of the solution.

Naval dental assistants isolate the tooth they will be operating on during mock oral surgery Feb. 12 at Camp Kinser, Okinawa. The surgery is to fix a Malocclusion- a condition when teeth are not properly aligned and cause a bad bite, resulting in several harmful dental issues. Mock oral surgeries were part of a battalion-wide, field dental exercise for 3rd Dental Battalion, 3rd Marine Logistics Group, III Marine Expeditionary Force. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl.

You always hear sad stories - this is a happy one. We adopted an English spot rabbit at Lollypop Farm in July of 1998. He was about 6 months old at the time, and our son named him Blackberry after a rabbit in Watership Down. I just thought you might like to know he is still with us, doing great. We moved to Miami, Florida 3 years ago - he stayed with some friends in Rochester for a year, then moved down here when they moved here, too! When I took him to take care of him while they settled in - well, I never gave him back (it's okay, they had 3 cats). He loves Miami, and is getting used to the peacocks pecking at the windows occasionally. Despite having a malocclusion since he was 4 (that requires molar filing every 3 months), our vet recently told us he is doing amazing for being 10 1/2 years old!
I had no idea rabbits could live so long. But he's a celebrity in our neighborhood - everyone wants to meet Mr. B. He's very friendly, and loves being scratched on his forehead. The children love him, because if they sit quietly (and they always do), he'll come right over to check them out. He loves watching Sportscenter with my husband in the mornings and evenings after he eats.

The incisors were easily trimmed with nail trimmers, but physical exam revealed a significant heart murmur. Subsequent xrays confirmed congestive heart failure, and she never really perked back to "normal"--she passed away 1.5 weeks later. She was 4 years old.
