Invisalign aligners can be used in conjunction with braces on specific teeth, but your orthodontist will provide guidance on the best approach.
These pointed teeth are for tearing food and guiding other teeth into position when the jaws close.
Through visual inspection, palpation, using specialized lights, or dyes, and if suspicious, a biopsy is taken for definitive diagnosis.
Maintain good oral hygiene, drink water, avoid tobacco and certain foods, chew sugar-free gum, and consider mouthwash or professional dental cleanings.
Braces apply pressure to move teeth to their proper position, while retainers hold them in place once they’re positioned correctly.
A dental stimulator with a silicone tip, soft rubber tip, textured tip, and massaging tip can be used with porcelain veneers, but remove your aligners for effective cleaning between your teeth.
