#Trauma and TMJ

[dying-weeds]

I wish there was better information given about the physical manifestations of trauma on your body.

I dislocated my jaw today trying to take a bite of food and learned that TMJ is largely a manifestation of trauma/ stress on the body.

This is just one example of the way trauma changes and damages the brain and body and soul of a person.

Everyone thinks that those wounds are just on your mind, but your body carries that wound with you, and the damage isn't just on the inside it's all over you.

[mordacitatis]

I have been terrified of going to another physical therapist after my second attempt was just a complete crapshoot (couldn't do exercises cuz my arm was numb, but since my referral didn't include my neck she wouldn't treat the numbness) but I'm liking this new guy

went in for the second time today, did exercises and then he was doing some basic massage on my neck when I opened my mouth and my jaw popped. he was horrified, and immediately was like "why didn't we talk about this in the first appointment??" and I explained my issues with getting treatment if not explicitly in the referral. he explained that since insurance is usually dumb about tmj shit that he writes the treatment to emphasize the cervical aspect so he can still treat, and extended my appointment by 30 minutes to evaluate my jaw and give me exercises to help.

feeling a lot more hopeful about treatment than I have in awhile

Understanding Tinnitus: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatments

Tinnitus, often described as a ringing, buzzing, or humming sound in the ears, affects millions worldwide. While it’s not a condition itself, it’s typically a symptom of an underlying issue.

This comprehensive guide will delve into the causes, symptoms, and available treatments for tinnitus, helping you better understand this common auditory phenomenon.

What is Tinnitus?

Tinnitus refers to the perception of sound without an external source. It can manifest in one or both ears, and the noise may be constant or intermittent. People describe it as ringing, buzzing, hissing, clicking, or even roaring sounds.

Types of Tinnitus

Subjective Tinnitus: Only the individual hears the sound. It’s the most common type and is often linked to ear problems or nerve damage.

Objective Tinnitus: A rare form where others, such as a doctor, can also detect the noise. This type is often associated with vascular or muscular issues.

Common Causes of Tinnitus

Tinnitus can result from various factors, including:

Hearing Loss: Age-related hearing loss (presbycusis) and exposure to loud noises can damage the auditory nerve.

Ear Infections or Blockages: Wax build-up, infections, or foreign objects can cause temporary tinnitus.

Medications: Certain drugs, such as aspirin, antibiotics, or diuretics, can induce tinnitus as a side effect.

Health Conditions: Issues like high blood pressure, cardiovascular diseases, or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders can contribute to tinnitus.

Injuries: Head or neck trauma may affect auditory nerves or brain function, leading to tinnitus.

Recognizing Symptoms of Tinnitus

The primary symptom is hearing a sound without an external source. However, it may also accompany:

Sensitivity to sound (hyperacusis)

Difficulty concentrating

Stress or anxiety

Sleep disturbances

Diagnosing Tinnitus

Consulting an audiologist or otolaryngologist is essential for an accurate diagnosis. A detailed medical history, physical examination, and hearing tests are usually conducted to determine the cause.

Treatment Options for Tinnitus

While there’s no universal cure for tinnitus, various treatments can help manage symptoms:

1. Sound Therapy

Using white noise machines, hearing aids, or nature sounds can mask tinnitus and provide relief.

2. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT helps patients manage emotional responses to tinnitus, reducing its impact on daily life.

3. Medications

Although no specific drug cures tinnitus, some medications, like antidepressants or anti-anxiety drugs, can alleviate associated stress.

4. Lifestyle Modifications

Avoid Loud Noises: Use ear protection in noisy environments.

Stress Management: Yoga, meditation, or relaxation techniques can reduce tinnitus severity.

Healthy Diet: Reducing caffeine and alcohol intake may help.

5. Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT)

This combines counseling with sound therapy to retrain the brain and minimize tinnitus perception.

Preventing Tinnitus

Prevention is key to avoiding tinnitus or preventing it from worsening. Here are some tips:

Protect Your Ears: Use earplugs in loud environments.

Limit Loud Music Exposure: Keep volume levels safe when using headphones.

Maintain Overall Health: Regular exercise and a balanced diet support auditory health.

Seek Prompt Treatment: Address ear infections or injuries immediately.

Final Thoughts

Tinnitus can significantly impact one’s quality of life, but understanding its causes and available treatments is the first step toward effective management. If you’re experiencing persistent tinnitus, consult a healthcare professional for a personalized treatment plan.

Need Expert Advice?

If you're struggling with tinnitus, don’t hesitate to seek help. Early intervention can prevent further complications and improve your quality of life.

My dental trauma includes:

Randomly missing an adult tooth and I had to get several baby teeth surgically removed.

ALL of my wisdom teeth growing in completely sideways.

Only being able to open my mouth wide enough to fit a credit card for weeks after removal, and not being able to chew my food much at all for months. My jaw got stuck. (Lockjaw) My recovery was long and painful.

My Orthodontist threatening to keep my braces on longer than they should until my mom could pay them off? And they did???

My Orthodontist constantly causing me extra pain during visits. My mouth would often be bleeding excessively after visits.

My braces breaking all the time, causing cuts and scarring to the inside of my mouth.

I have a high/narrow palate that required a spacer. Painful and uncomfortable.

My teeth are so painfully tight together it’s unreal.

I have TMJ disorder and an overbite that was never corrected.

Anytime I’m in the chair w/ my head back, it feels like I’m choking to death.

Anyway, I know my mouth is weird but fuck that Orthodontist for real.

Hi beautiful, here for the reading💅💅 Saw you on my feed and really feel your positive energy💙💙💙 Sorry for your disease, i don't know much about it but feel like it's eye-related problem? Please take care and take your time for the reading🫶🫶

Birth Date: December 23, 2002

Birth Time: 5:42 AM

Birth Place: Zhengzhou, China

Thanks for your time. Looking forward to your reply🥰🥰🥰

Hi😊💕💋🥰

It's complicated😅 The disease originated from a flu/virus it affects the nerves in your body, particularly those that control eye movements and coordination. In my case it affected the vestibular, oculomotor, facial nerves and TMJ/ATM. Basically I can only see from a close distance so I am using my phone to do the readings (slower rhytm); I can't stand up without losing balance, when I am walking I have to hang on to a wall or something/someone otherwise I fall; I also experience dizziness/vertigo, a bit of hearing loss with a buzzing ringing on my right ear; face contracts a bit; etc. This all happened when I was finishing my bachelor degree, about to start my master degree so I stopped going to college.

And now I am here lol (I am doing physical therapy of all aspects but there is a lot of ups/downs due to trigger points)

Anyways that's enough of storyline/drama😅

READING

For your reading I am going to use mostly vedic astrology.

In D1 chart taurus jupiter is transiting your 7th house taurus with rahu this indicates you might meet your fs or long term partner this year, maybe through travel/education or he could be a foreigner or from a different culture/ethnicity/religion (rahu influence); through business together(7th house).

Moreover Pisces/virgo Rahu/ketu is transiting your pisces 5th house of dating/romance. It's likely that this will happen suddenly and/or fast👀.

(However with saturn in aquarius transiting your 4th house could delay the relationship maybe because you feel stuck at home or something about your home environment.)

NOTE1: Taurus jupiter is transiting until next year 9 june 2025 so 2025 is a good chance as well.

MOON CHART (considering moon as rising)

Since you've asked about travelling/studying abroad you actually have jupiter taurus transiting your taurus rahu 9th house (higher education/travelling) so that is a strong indicator.

D9 CHART

In your D9 7th lord mars is in pisces 6th house being affected by rahu pisces transit your spouse might be experiencing health issues, anxiety (rahu in 6th house of health), conflicts/arguments in the work environment, complex emotions/thoughts about his feelings/desires, expanding his views on spirituality, etc.

Jupiter (significator of spouse) is transiting your taurus rahu 8th house possibly meeting a longterm partner through a transformative/intense period of your life (dreams, manisfestation, occult, twinflame energy, are relevant).

Now aquarius saturn is transiting your 5th house Aquarius jupiter, this could indicate serious relationships, online connections, working creatively with discipline, learning and having fun together, engaging in social communities, sharing interests/passions.

D7 CHART

Looking at your D7 chart you have rahu + mars/ketu in aquarius/leo in 8th/2nd house being affected by aquarius saturn transit indicating that you will go through a very transformative period in your life, letting go of ego/personal pride/self expression, material possesions/ superficial connections/creative values or goals  vs engaging in social endeavours, spirituality and deep connections, healing your traumas and fears related to intimacy and vulnerability this year.

You also have pisces venus in 9th house being affected by rahu pisces transit which portrays falling in love in foreign lands with different people, travelling abroad, loving/learning other cultures and philosophies, higher education, changing your beliefs, etc. (strong confirmation of  your fs or longterm partner being a foreigner)

When jupiter, saturn, rahu/ketu are transiting in the same or opposite sign of sun, saturn, rahu/ketu in D7 chart it indicates a major event might happen during this time of your life like meeting your future spouse or a partner, engagement, pregnancy, career,success,fame, breakup, divorce, moving out, etc.(This technique is by Camila Regina from tiktok).  

DASHA/TIME PERIODS

You are currently running ketu-venus dasha from 2023 till october 2024 (venus is your 7th lord and means love). I am leaning towards eclipse season in september pisces  affecting your 5th house and also the solar eclipse virgo in october.

Then you have also have good chances in 2025 when gemini jupiter transits over your gemini saturn darakaraka(spouse); saturn in pisces will transit your 5th house in D1 chart ( serious dating/relationships);

Jupiter in cancer will transit your D1 cancer jupiter in 19 october👀 conjunct your moon in 9th house this will bring you luck in higher learning/foreign lands, travelling, you will feel happier "at home", more emotional, comfortable, creative, inspired; expanding your beliefs/family (supportive friends)/intuition/spirituality, seeking knowledge, personal growth/healing; potential marriage partner meeting.

If you want to know specific time periods from 2025 (I will send you pictures) or more you can DM me. 

NOTE2: Remember that we might have many soulmates and potential long term partners.

SOLAR RETURN

From the conversation we've had before I am going to use solar return of 2024/2025.

From the 7th lord sign and 7th house energy we can see what kind of person you will meet,  probably one of his big 3 placements and how your relationship would be.

You actually have 7th house Capricorn with venus which means this would be a serious romantic connection based on  affection, security, loyalty, career, financial stability, responsibility, status, reputation, respect, discussions about work and goals you wish to accomplish, working together, etc. He could be your coworker, boss, menthor or employee or older/wiser than you, romantic, attractive, loyal, reliable, hardworking, goal oriented, ambitious, strong, persistent, mature, strict, serious, controlling, possessive; his love language could be acts of service, physical touch and spoiling gifts; you guys might share same values and professional ambitions/goals; might be a slow burn romance, coworkers to lovers, etc.

With 7th lord aquarius saturn in your 8th house confirms the financial energy, shared resources, joint ventures, inheritances and transformation. Intimacy is also prominent. You could discuss about innovative ideas around finances and make pratical plans to help each other. He could be wise, mature, stable, hardworking, intense, unique, have unconventional ideas/values related to intimacy and finances, spiritual, open minded, supportive, intelligent, psychic, deep, intuitive,  could have older or wiser friends; values stability, intimacy, solitude, spirituality, freedom, money ; strict, serious, went through ups and downs in life, etc. Could be ambivert, only truly opens up to his loved ones, aloof , controlling and pessimistic if not managed. Could have intimacy issues or be afraid of deep connections.You can have a psychic/intense/deep connection,  intuitively knowing what the other is thinking. You can do artistic projects together, do meditation together or spiritual practices, night dates, go out with friends, go to the night club, participate in activism, charities, shopping together, spoiling gifts, physical touch, intimacy, conversations under the moonlight, sharing secrets, communicating about feelings/trauma/fears, etc. ( 8th house can also represent karmic/soulmate/twinflame connections.) With saturn in 8th house it could be slow burn romance (delay in advancing in the bedroom) and/or friends to lovers.

However on a negative way could show possessiveness, jealousy, money loss/delay, control/health issues, codependency, oversensitivity, exploitation, power struggles, depression, anxiety, solitude, detachment, fear of vulnerability, deception(lies/secrets), expectations, high standards, third party issues between friends or other coworkers, controversy, affair etc.

Balance between solitude and partnerships is crucial as well communication to overcome traumas/fears.

These aspects I had to research a bit more:

Now 7th lord capricorn venus is aspecting  cancer mars in 1st house by 7th aspect so this can show difficulties in balancing the emotional needs, personal desires, romantic need, professional  responsibilities, (you might prioritize work over relationships or emotions); one of you might not understand the other person feelings/desires or express his feelings towards the other causing misunderstandings and heated arguments (crying a lot); power struggles one might control the other, etc.

This could be eased by communicating openly, evaluating priorities, compromise when it comes to love languages, etc.

One of his big 3 placements could be same or opposite sign of 7th lord so aquarius or leo. (If you meet him before your birthday he could have libra/aries)

DARAKARAKA

In regards to your gemini mrigashira saturn Darakaraka in 8th house  your spouse could embody these characteristics: wealthy, intense, blunt, serious, mature, practical, striking, persuasive, transformative, intelectual, emotional but has dificulty expressing them, curious, communicative, flirty,  charming, dualistic, flexible, serious, spiritual,intuitive communicator, writer, psychic; values occult, spirituality, learning, seeking the truth, knowledge; financial manegement skills, mysterious, researcher, jealous, ups/downs in life, possesive, etc.

DK is aspecting Sagittarius sun and mercury in 2nd house by 7th aspect which indicates  issues around finances and resources, personal values/beliefs, vulnerability and superficiality, freedom and codependency ; one might not be able to express himself, his thoughts; power struggles, etc.

JUPITER

Jupiter is also significator of spouse/marriage, your jupiter is in cancer Ashlesha conjunct pushya moon so your spouse/marriage could embody these characteristics: emotional, nurturing, protective,supportive, transformative, intense, sexy, attractive, creative, intuitive, intelligent, mysterious, wise, nurturing, caring, close to mother/family, generous,  mommy issues, overgiving, loves travelling, philosophy and cooking, takes care of other people, stable , values family traditions, possessive, jealous,  oversensitive, etc.

7TH LORD D1

Your 7th lord vishakha libra venus conjunct swati mars it's in 12th house. This means your fs or longterm partner could be a foreigner, beautiful, sensual, dreamy, hot, passionate,intense/complex, transformative, famous, attractive, well dressed, influential, determined, independent, ambitious, creative, romantic, possessive, fair, flexible, respected, business oriented, creative, teasing, flirty, loves spirituality/arts/fashion/philosophy/water activities(swimming)/freedom/solitude; This also shows a strong focus on creative partnerships and doing business together maybe in foreign countries or with foreigners, etc.

7th lord is aspecting taurus rohini rahu by 6th aspect that shows an unconventional relationship (different backgrounds or culture, religion, etc) with a strong desire for stability, peace, balance, equality and shared ambitions/goals.

7TH LORD D9  

7th lord in D9 nakshatra and sign could also show future spouse characteristics and how will be the marriage.

You have 7th lord mars in pisces revati there is an emphasis on emotions, romance, passion, spirituality and creativity in this connection (you have be careful to not escape from reality and high expectations) . Spouse can be dreamy, attractive, caring, supportive, nurturing, charming, intelligent, generous, overgiving, oversensittive, emotional, intense, passionate, ambitious, hardworking, assertive, good advisor, have conflict resolution skills, curious, talented, creative, intuitive, wise, dualistic, compassionate, communicative, flirty, agressive( emotional burst of anger), etc.

APPEARANCE + CAREER + SYMBOLISM

For your future spouse career I am trying out this tecnique the 10th sign from 7th lord in D1 or D9 could indicate possible fields: 

D1 Cancer (moon +jupiter) so anything related to healthcare, social service, education, hospitality management, creative arts, spirituality/religion, real estate, construction, nutrition, wellness, public relations and communications, psychotherapy, life coaching, etc

Dr. Anurag Bhargava, a renowned maxillofacial surgeon in Indore, provides invaluable insights into this fascinating field, highlighting its importance and the transformative impact it can have on patients' lives.

What is Maxillofacial Surgery?

Maxillofacial surgery, also known as oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS), involves surgical interventions to treat diseases, injuries, and defects of the face, mouth, teeth, and jaws.

Procedures can range from corrective jaw surgery and facial trauma reconstruction to dental implants and cosmetic enhancements.

Hi. My name is Hashimoto's. I'm an invisible autoimmune disease that attacks your thyroid gland causing you to become hypothyroid.

I am now velcroed to you for life. If you have hypothyroidism, you probably have me. I am the number one cause of it in the U.S. and many other places around the world.

I'm so sneaky--I don't always show up in your blood work.

Others around you can't see me or hear me, but YOUR body feels me.

I can attack you anywhere and any way I please.

I can cause severe pain or, if I'm in a good mood, I can just cause you to ache all over.

Remember when you and energy ran around together and had fun?

I took energy from you, and gave you exhaustion. Try to have fun now.

I can take good sleep from you and in its place, give you brain fog and lack of concentration.

I can make you want to sleep 24/7, and I can also cause insomnia.

I can make you tremble internally or make you feel cold or hot when everyone else feels normal.

I can also give you swollen hands and feet, swollen face and eyelids, swollen everything.

I can make you feel very anxious with panic attacks or very depressed. I can also cause other mental health problems. You know crazy mood swings? That's me. Crying for no reason? Angry for no reason? That's probably me too.

I can make your hair fall out, become dry and brittle, cause acne, cause dry skin, the sky is the limit with me.

I can make you gain weight and no matter what you eat or how much you exercise, I can keep that weight on you. I can also make you lose weight. I don't discriminate.

Some of my other autoimmune disease friends often join me, giving you even more to deal with.

If you have something planned, or are looking forward to a great day, I can take that away from you. You didn't ask for me. I chose you for various reasons:

That virus or viruses you had that you never really recovered from, or that car accident, or maybe it was the years of abuse and trauma (I thrive on stress.) You may have a family history of me. Whatever the cause, I'm here to stay.

I hear you're going to see a doctor to try and get rid of me. That makes me laugh. Just try. You will have to go to many, many doctors until you find one who can help you effectively.

You will be put on the wrong medication for you, pain pills, sleeping pills, energy pills, told you are suffering from anxiety or depression, given anti-anxiety pills and antidepressants.

There are so many other ways I can make you sick and miserable, the list is endless - that high cholesterol, gall bladder issue, blood pressure issue, blood sugar issue, heart issue among others? That's probably me.

Can't get pregnant, or have had a miscarriage?

That's probably me too.

Shortness of breath or "air hunger?" Yep, probably me.

Liver enzymes elevated? Yep, probably me.

Teeth and gum problems? TMJ?

Hives? Yep, probably me.

I told you the list was endless.

You may be given a TENs unit, get massaged, told if you just sleep and exercise properly I will go away.

You'll be told to think positively, you'll be poked, prodded, and MOST OF ALL, not taken seriously when you try to explain to the endless number of doctors you've seen, just how debilitating I am and how ill and exhausted you really feel. In all probability you will get a referral from these 'understanding' (clueless) doctors, to see a psychiatrist.

Your family, friends and co-workers will all listen to you until they just get tired of hearing about how I make you feel, and just how debilitating I can be.

Some of them will say things like "Oh, you are just having a bad day" or "Well, remember, you can't do the things you use to do 20 YEARS ago", not hearing that you said 20 DAYS ago.

They'll also say things like, "if you just get up and move, get outside and do things, you'll feel better." They won't understand that I take away the 'gas' that powers your body and mind to ENABLE you to do those things.

Some will start talking behind your back, they'll call you a hypochondriac, while you slowly feel that you are losing your dignity trying to make them understand, especially if you are in the middle of a conversation with a "normal" person, and can't remember what you were going to say next. You'll be told things like, "Oh, my grandmother had that, and she's fine on her medication" when you desperately want to explain that I don't impose myself upon everyone in the exact same way, and just because that grandmother is fine on the medication SHE'S taking, doesn't mean it will work for you.

They will not understand that having this disease impacts your body from the top of your head to the tip of your toes, and that every cell and every body system and organ requires the proper amount and the right kind of of thyroid hormone medication for YOU.....Not what works for someone else.

The only place you will get the kind of support and understanding in dealing with me is with other people that have me. They are really the only ones who can truly understand.

I am Hashimoto's Disease.

[mythicalmyles]

honey i’m so sorry that’s happening. i was going through the same thing a while ago. it’s okay if none of those things work. just “taking a bath” doesn’t work with depression. some meds didn’t work for me either. it’s important to remember that meds don’t work for a lot of people. it’s okay to try new ones and switch them. i tried like three different ones and dosages before finding one that worked for me. it takes time to heal and im sure these people reminding you of your problems don’t make you feel any better. it’s okay to feel upset. i probably can’t make you feel different about yourself but i can say i’ve gone through that. so many people have and you are not alone. it’s very very hard to believe but it does get better. i’m sure you’ve heard that millions of times before, but it does.

as for the nicotine, it’s hard to get off that kind of stuff. habits are hard to break. i understand that. i was the same with sh. i don’t have much experience with that kind of addiction, but i can recommend nicotine gum and patches.

one thing that helped me when i felt like i was going to do something was remind myself how many people would miss me. how my dog would stand by the window wondering where i went because she didn’t understand. how my parents and friends would mourn me and miss me.

it’s okay to reach out for help and you’ve done so much already by getting a therapist. it’s okay to switch therapists. i had to go through about four before i found my right one.

you are doing amazing by letting these feelings out and it’s okay to feel this way. so many people care about you. i know it’s hard to believe but it will get better. it may take days, months, years, but it will. i know it’s frustrating and i know none of this might help but i want you to know there are people like you out there who are going through this.

additionally, you should add the suicide hotline to your phone, i did it and it’s a good emergency plan. one thing you can also try on tumblr is kokobot, it’s anonymous and it’s a whole bot about venting.

you’ve got this love. stay strong<33

Ive been on so many meds im not qualified to get weed legally in the uk i lost count of how many ive been thru and these ones do good.. but they dont always work and my drs just keep upping my dosage im on 350 quitiapine and 150 sertraline along with 100mgs of instant activate quitiapine and honestly if it werent for my bf and the animals i wouldve dipped a long time ago but ik no one will look after them as well as i do

Unfortunately im allergic to nicotine patches and i cant actually have chewing hum due to my tmj i tried the spray but it instantly made me throw yp everytime i tried it so i packed it in and it was our first day i felt shitty bc we went straight into my trauma (first person ive ever told what actually happened) so i was dealing w that after along w flashbacks shes rlly sweet though and was really kind to me it was just a heavy session

It turns out that I have jaw pain on one side of my jaw because Trauma Bullshit and frankly this is one of many things I never thought were CPTSD but apparently are (this flare up bought to you by my dad yelling at another motorist in the car :/)

(Also I think maybe some kind of TMJ might be going on because self massage targeted to that helps)

(Dentists send me into Dissociation Hell as does medical appointments and I have only just realised how badly so it’s like, genuinely what is the cost benefit)

(And yes that’s with going to female medical professionals they are great it’s just the entire setting etc. Not that men aren’t great just Trauma Bullshit On My Part)

A bright, healthy smile isn’t just about appearance; it’s about having healthy gums and teeth. Root canals and orthodontics usually work together to reshape and align teeth and maintain them healthy and functional. Most individuals wrongly believe orthodontics to be cosmetic; root canal work is done to salvage a decayed tooth. Nevertheless, these two dentist procedures can complement each other, producing long-term dental health and a perfect smile.In this article, how root canal therapy and orthodontic treatment supplement each other is explained, the roles played by both in optimal oral health,  how both treatments, taken together, contribute to making a healthy and beautiful smile.Understanding Root Canal TherapyA root canal is a procedure to save an infected or cracked tooth. It involves the removal of infected or dead pulp from within the tooth, cleansing the canal, and filling the canal with some filling material so that further infection does not occur.When is a Rootcanal neededA root canal Oxley becomes necessary when the pulp inside the tooth becomes inflamed or infected due to:Deep decay or cavities Repeated dental procedures on the same tooth Cracks or chips in the tooth Trauma to the toothThe infection will become contagious if not treated, leading to the development of an abscess and tooth loss. Root canal treatment preserves the natural tooth, preventing extraction and additional dental implants or bridges.Steps in Root Canal TreatmentDiagnosis and X-ray: The dentist diagnoses the tooth, and an X-ray is performed to assess the degree of the infection.Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is given to numb the area.Pulp Removal: The infected or dead pulp is removed using specialised dental tools.Cleaning and Disinfection: The canal is thoroughly cleaned to eliminate bacteria.Filling and Sealing: A biocompatible filling material (gutta-percha) is filled into the canal and sealed to avoid infection.Restoration: A filling or crown is put on the treated tooth to restore function and strength.Understanding OrthodonticsOrthodontics Capalaba is a dental speciality that deals with diagnosing, preventing, and treating malpositions of the teeth and jaws. Orthodontics is used to amend biting problems, teeth crowding, spacing, and other issues with teeth.Types of Orthodontic TreatmentsTraditional metal braces consist of brackets and wires that gradually shift teeth into position. Ceramic Braces: These are the same as metal braces, except they are constructed from tooth-coloured or explicit materials for a more cosmetic look. Lingual Braces: Placed behind the teeth, making them less visible. Clear Aligners (e.g., Invisalign): removable custom trays incrementally moving teeth into place. Palatal Expanders: These expand the upper jaw in growing children.Why Orthodontics is ImportantOrthodontic treatment not only enhances the appearance of the smile but also prevents issues like:Difficulty in chewing and speaking Tooth decay and gum disease due to overcrowding Jaw pain and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders Abnormal tooth wear and fracturesHow Root Canal Therapy and Orthodontics Work TogetherMany people wonder whether they can undergo orthodontic treatment if they have had a root canal. The good news is that root canal therapy and orthodontics can be combined to improve oral health and aesthetics. Here’s how:1. Root Canal Before Orthodontic TreatmentRoot canal therapy may be required before orthodontic treatment if a tooth is highly infected or rotten. This prevents the infection from spreading and ensures the tooth is stable while being aligned. If the patient experiences severe toothache in a tooth that has to be moved using braces for orthodontics, treating first helps avoid complications.2. Root Canal During Orthodontic TreatmentIf the tooth gets infected wearing braces, a root canal may be performed without affecting orthodontic progress. The orthodontist may need to remove wires or brackets to make room for provisional treatment. Once the root canal is completed, the orthodontic treatment can continue without significant delays.3. Orthodontic Treatment After Root Canal TherapySome teeth treated as root-canal teeth can become brittle and weak over time. Orthodontic treatment will be able to align such teeth to ensure proper distribution of the biting forces, thus reducing the possibility of fractures. A perfectly aligned bite prevents overloading of the root canal-filled teeth with maximum strength. When an endodontically treated tooth has moved due to previous malalignment, orthodontics can move it for better function and aesthetics.Benefits of Combining Root Canal Therapy and OrthodonticsWhen combined, these treatments provide many benefits:Natural Tooth Preservation: Root canal treatment saves teeth from extraction and enables the incorporation of teeth into orthodontic care for a natural, complete smile. Better looks: Orthodontics align teeth for a better smile, and root canal treatment ensures all teeth are healthy and functional. Better Function: Properly aligned teeth and a well-maintained root canal-treated tooth assist in efficient chewing and speaking. Less Likelihood of Future Complications: Decay and infection treatment before orthodontic treatment decreases the likelihood of future complications. Enhanced Longevity of Treatment Outcomes: Healthy tooth structure enhances the longevity of orthodontic corrections by decreasing the rate of relapse.Special ConsiderationsAlthough root canal treatment and orthodontics may be combined, some precautions need to be followed:Tooth Stability: A root canal-treated tooth might be reinforced with a crown before orthodontic treatment. Tooth Movement: Root-treated teeth that were previously treated can be moved using aligners or braces but may have to undergo slower, controlled force to avoid complications. Inter-specialist Communication: The best outcomes result from collaboration between the endodontist (root canal specialist) and the orthodontist.ConclusionOrthodontic treatment and root canal therapy are not incompatible; they can complement each other to create a healthy, functional, and lovely smile. Treating dental infections before orthodontic treatment guarantees a smooth and efficient alignment process. At the same time, orthodontics can increase the longevity of root canal-treated teeth by enhancing their position and function. Consultation with a dental expert is necessary to establish the most appropriate method for individual cases, maximising oral health and a bright smile for years.Like this:Like Loading...
