How do braces move teeth?
By applying constant pressure, they shift teeth in a specific direction. As the teeth move, the bone changes shape to accommodate the new positions.
Why do my gums recede?
Causes include gum disease, aggressive tooth brushing, genetics, hormonal changes, tobacco use, bruxism, misaligned teeth, and oral piercings.
What’s the role of an endodontist?
A dentist specializing in treating the pulp and nerve of the tooth, commonly performing root canal treatments.
What is a dental onlay?
Similar to an inlay, but it extends to cover one or more cusps of a tooth, providing a middle ground between inlays and crowns.
What causes white spots on teeth?
They can result from fluorosis, demineralization (often due to braces), or a developmental condition.
How can I avoid teeth stains?
Limit staining foods/drinks, rinse after consumption, use a straw, avoid tobacco, brush and floss regularly, and have professional cleanings.
