The Forsus Appliance procedure

The Forsus Appliance procedure takes only one visit with no extra lab work.   The Forsus Appliance is placed in the back of your mouth, so it is hardly seen, and rarely does it irate your cheeks.   This appliance also requires no daily adjustments, because the Forsus Appliance is always applying a constant light force to move your jaw and teeth into their correct alignment, even while sleeping.   The Forsus Appliance works with your existing Dental Braces and wires, so you may not have to change treatments that were already planned.

The Forsus Appliance has no effect on the way your mouth moves, or affects to your speech or eating habits.   The Forsus Appliance does not require the use of headgear or any other orthodontic appliance.   The Forsus Appliance is easy to clean, brush, and has no gaps to trap food in.

Keeping Good oral hygiene is Easy with the Forsus Appliance since it’s small and fits in the back of your mouth.   And, as always with any orthodontic appliance you should avoid sticky and hard foods, and brush after every meal for the Forsus Appliance to deliver the maximum results you and Dr. Robison are hoping to achieve.

Orthodontic Braces E-Space Lower Holding Arch

The E-space lower holding arch is a space maintainer, it keeps your molars from moving forward and prevents them from blocking the space where your adult teeth are supposed to come in. Dr. Robison uses the E-space lower holding arch appliance mostly on children who have lost their teeth too early and in need of  preventive dental care. The E-space lower holding arch is almost always followed by Dental Braces.

E-space lower holding arch is made up of two metal bands attached to your lower molars connected by a wire that runs along the inside of your lower teeth to keep your molars from moving and blocking the space where your Adult permanent teeth are supposed to come in. The E-space lower holding arch is not removable,

You should avoid sticky or hard food. Sticky food can loosen your appliance and hard food can break it.
As always good oral hygiene, brushing twice daily and keeping you appliance clean will help ensure the success of the E-space lower holding arch.
For the first few days you should speak out loud so your tongue gets used to it. A special wax is given if the band bugs your cheeks.

Orthodontic Self-Ligating Brackets In Gilbert AZ

Orthodontic Self-Ligating Bracket Device

Self-Ligating Brackets have many advantages over traditional brackets. Self-Ligating brackets don’t require the use of bands or ties. Although Dr.Robison uses In-Ovation, there are many different types of Self-Ligating Brackets.
Today's Self-Ligating brackets use a special clip instead of bands or ties to assit the archwire in guiding the teeth into place. Since there is no need for band or ties, the amount of adjustments is reduced; also the amount of pressure on your teeth is reduced.

The Two types of Orthodontic Self-Ligating Brackets:

Passive brackets have a smaller archwire, so there is less friction and your teeth are able to move more freely. Passive brackets are mostly used at the beginning of treatment so the teeth can start moving into position.

Active brackets have a much thicker archwire. The thicker archwire aggressively moves teeth into place, while applying greater pressure to your teeth. The active bracket also provides you with more control for constant strong results.

Usually, Self-Ligating brackets are made from stainless steel, only in certain cases are they made of
ceramic, polycarbonate or other FDA approved materials. Self-Ligating brackets are glued to the teeth, they are not removable until your treatment is over. **As with all dental appliances regular cleaning, and not too many sugar laden foods or drinks.

Self-Ligating brackets are a precursor for braces treatment. Dr. Robison will determine what type of dental appliance and if you need orthodontic braces.

Mesa Orthodontist Children’s Braces Appliances Hyrax Palatal Expander

A Hyrax Palatal Expander is an appliance used as part of pre-braces treatment.

A Hyrax Palatal Expander is an appliance that widens the upper jaw so the bottom and upper teeth will fit together better. The palatal expander is mostly used for children since their jaw bone is still growing, in some cases it has been used on adults.
**For adults the palatal expansion is more uncomfortable due to the fact that their jaw bone is done growing.

When using the Palatal Expansion, a gap between the two upper front teeth might appear, this is not the same for all patients. This gap will close by itself and the teeth could overlap which will cause the need for Dental Braces.

To tighten the Palatal Expander, you will receive a key from Dr. Robison, which will tighten the screw, you may have a little bit of pressure on your teeth. Some patients develop a space between the two front teeth as they turn the Palatal Expansion appliance. This space can vary, it may be large or a space may not even develop at all. For the first couple weeks after getting the Palatal Expansion appliance applied it may be difficult to eat or talk. After the Palatal Expander is removed some patients say that their mouth feels very comfortable and has lots of space.
