How to Stop Thrusting? A tongue thrust can be stopped in the comfort of your own home. On the tip of your tongue, place a sugar-free candy, such as a lifesaver. Once that’s done, press the tip of your tongue against the roof of your mouth. The tongue should be pressed against the gum. Keep your lips apart and bite your teeth together. Last but not least, swallow, keeping your lips apart and your teeth together. You can stop tongue thrusting by performing this exercise twice a day, in the morning and in the evening. It may be challenging at first, but once you get used to these exercises, they will become easier.
There is no known problem combining braces with pregnancy, but you need to speak with your orthodontist about your specific situation. The teeth and gums may be affected by hormonal changes during pregnancy, so orthodontic treatment may need to be modified or postponed.

During pregnancy, maintaining proper oral hygiene and having regular dental checkups, including orthodontic appointments, is essential to ensure mother’s and baby’s health. To determine what is the most appropriate course of action for you regarding braces and pregnancy, speak with your orthodontist.

How to clean retainers with baking soda? Or are there better solutions? Firstly, having clean retainers is extremely important no matter how often you need to wear them. Thus, after hours of wearing your retainer, it really won’t take long for bacteria and plaque to start to build up on the appliance. This is also true for Invisalign aligners and most position retaining orthodontic devices.
Braces straighten teeth and improve jaw alignment, which can change a person’s jaw/chin shape.
An unbalanced, unhealthy jaw can cause overbites, underbites, and crossbites. You will have an outward extension of your jaw if you have an underbite. A person with an overbite will have an extended upper arch and teeth, as well as a small chin and weak cheeks. Rather than being directly below the upper teeth, the lower jaw sits left or right with a crossbite.

In a basic form, power chains for braces are a chain of O-shaped bands linked like a chain would be. These chains replace ligatures or wires between the brackets. Sometimes an orthodontist will use both to aid the movement of teeth. The use will depend on what you need to accomplish the best result. In rare cases, you may use wire power chains. This is where the wire wraps around the bracket instead of rubber bands.
Power chains work the same as ordinary ‘O’ shaped rubber bands. Those have been used in orthodontics for many years. In this post, we’ll take you through what power chains are and what they do. Let’s get going.

Bad Breath and Liver Disease is a common concern, especially if you have noticed a strong or unusual smell that does not improve with brushing. In rare cases, a distinctive musty “sweet” breath odor (sometimes referred to as fetor hepaticus) can be associated with severe liver disease, which may affect how the body processes certain substances.
That said, most bad breath is not caused by liver problems. Bad breath (halitosis) is extremely common, and in many cases the causes are much more straightforward, such as oral hygiene issues, gum inflammation, dry mouth, diet, or bacteria on the tongue.
In this guide, we’ll explain what Bad Breath and Liver Disease can mean, when it is worth speaking to a medical professional, and the most common oral causes you can address first. We’ll then walk through practical reasons you might be dealing with bad breath and what to do next.
If you are in Manhattan Beach or the South Bay and want help identifying the most likely cause, you can request an appointment with Beach Braces.
