DO OUR WISDOM TEETH REALLY REFLECT OUR TRUE WISDOM?

WISDOM IS FOUND ONLY IN TRUTH

Wisdom teeth, sometimes known as third molars, are the last teeth to erupt in your mouth. This generally occurs between the ages of 17 and 25. Our modern diets consisting of much softer foods then eaten in the early ages, and the ever increasing need for orthodontic tooth straightening procedures produce a more full dental arch, commonly not leaving much room for the eruption of wisdom teeth. This sets the stage for potential problems when the final four teeth try to make their debut. These impacted wisdom teeth can become painful, and potentially lead to infection. They may also crowd or damage adjacent teeth or roots. Keep in mind that not all problems related to the third molars are painful or even visible (without diagnostic x-rays) and can cause damage without you even being aware. It is estimated that approximately 85% of  the population will eventually need to have their third molars  removed. 

Making sure you are seen regularly by your Orthodontist or General Dentist for periodic evaluations, is the best way for you to be made aware if your wisdom teeth can or will present a problem for you. At Statler-Krumholtz Orthodontics, we are very careful with our use of x-radiation. Dr. Statler is very conscientious to continually evaluate our patients pattern of growth and development of wisdom teeth from the very first visit, to the final digital panoramic x-ray that is taken at debond. A clear and concise recommendation is made at whatever time frame is necessary for wisdom teeth to be extracted (or for the fortunate 15%, not be extracted!). If you have concerns about your wisdom teeth, please make us aware, and we would be happy to show you your most recent x-ray and discuss any concerns or recommendations with you.

MI PASTE - LIKE VITAMINS FOR YOUR TEETH

MI Paste is a product that restores minerals and can help to produce saliva. Our saliva helps provide us with needed minerals to strengthen and protect the enamel on your teeth.

Each of us may have various reasons that can produce an acid imbalance, which makes it difficult for our bodies to produce saliva and its protective minerals.

At Statler-Krumholtz Orthodontics we offer a simple at home therapy that can help prevent white spots, and protect your teeth during orthodontic treatment. For those of you who have already experienced an acid imbalance, causing white spots/scaring on your teeth, we also offer a 6 visit in office treatment/therapy to help re-mineralize and make white spots slowly diminish.

OTHER REASONS FOR USE OF MI PASTE
High risk of tooth decay
Sensitivity
Tooth Whitening
Acid Erosion
Active and Inactive White Spots
Dry Mouth
Special benefits for: Infants, Children and Special Needs Patients
&
Gastric Reflux

Please ask us about your specific situation and we would be happy to go over in detail the treatments mentioned, and how you can begin to reap the rewards of such an overall beneficial product.

Amazing Phase I Treatment Transformation. Teamwork is the Key to Success

Before Phase I Treatment
 Treating children at an early age can be beneficial in many ways. Lauren came to Dr. Statler presenting a severe maxillary protrusion.
In many cases this can prove to be a risk of trauma. Correction is necessary to retract the upper anterior teeth, close space, and utilize the special window of time when a child is growing that allows for the mandible to be moved forward with the help of Class II elastics.
The amazing transformation occurs when Doctor and Patient/Parent relationships work as a team for the good of patient. Patient cooperation,
good oral hygeine, and kept appointments all aid in the process of creating the desired outcome. All of us at Statler-Krumholtz
Orthodontics are very proud of Lauren Sterneck and her family for their consistent efforts to be in full cooperation throughout her treatment! The results are amazing! The benefits Great! Lauren looks like a new little girl, with a healthy bite, and a beautiful smile.

GO CLEAR FOR THE NEW YEAR


Thinking of a New Year’s resolution? Does your smile reflect the real you? It’s your turn to have the radiant and confident smile you’ve always wanted. Just like dieting, you can achieve your goal this year without anyone knowing you are doing it! How awesome is that. 

Invisalign treatment is designed to create the beautiful smile you are waiting for. Its advanced technologies in straightening teeth with a series of clear aligners will get you on your way to a beautiful & healthy smile. No bands, brackets or wires. This innovative technology helps you straighten your teeth virtually invisibly. You wear clear trays that are designed to move your teeth. Invisible braces, comfortable to wear, hygiene made easy, eating normally, all while straightening your teeth. What more could you ask for! Here is how to get on your way:

A thorough orthodontic evaluation is necessary to see if you are a candidate for the Invisalign process. At Statler-Krumholtz Orthodontics we are happy to provide you with a complimentary consultation, consisting of full diagnostic records, and exam. Because Invisalign is actually moving your teeth just like traditional braces, we  believe that an orthodontist like Dr. Statler, who is specialized in this technique is able to serve you in the best way possible. 

On February 7th, 2012 we will offer a one- time $1500.00 promotional discount to get you started. Getting started is easy!
 
A series of impressions are taken and submitted electronically to the Align Technologies Company. From that point Dr. Statler will work with the Invisalign team to create the treatment plan that is designed for your specific needs. In a few weeks your trays arrive and you are ready to begin.  
So give us a call at 561 368 3688; we’ll be happy to set up a time that is convenient for you to come in.   Remember:
"YOU’RE NEVER FULLY DRESSED WITHOUT A SMILE"
