- DenturesFlossing between your teeth and gently brushing your retainer with toothpaste and a toothbrush can help keep it clean. Or, your orthodontist may tell you to soak it in a solution for cleaning dentures. Don’t put your retainer in the dishwasher or hot water.
- Dental ImplantsWhen a patient loses a tooth, an oral and maxillofacial surgeon will surgically place a dental implant in the patient’s jawbone. Because of their titanium metal composition and the osseointegration process by which they become one with the jawbone, dental implants are non-removable and non-degradable. Because of the way dental implants merge with the jawbone throughout the healing phase, bone loss is seldom a concern.
- Oral SurgeryDental school is the starting point for an orthodontist. Some dental school graduates begin working as dentists shortly after graduation. Others choose to specialize, which requires a two- or three-year residency program. The American Dental Association distinguishes nine dental specialties. Periodontics (dentistry focusing on the gums) and oral surgery are two more dental disciplines you may be familiar with.
- Jaw SurgeryBy stimulating growth in teens and limiting the frequency of severe overbites, the Forsus Fatigue Resistant Device may prevent the need for jaw surgery.
- Maxillofacial Surgery Oral and maxillofacial surgery addresses a wide variety of conditions that affect the head, neck, face, jaws, and other oral and maxillofacial tissues. It is recognized as one of nine dental specialties by the American Dental Association, making it a globally recognized surgical specialty.
