If you have been following Toothkind Jimboomba, you will know they offer orthodontics.
Looking after orthodontic patients are Dr Jess and Dr Jacky.
Orthodontics have a functional, as well as an aesthetic purpose.
Orthodontics is a dental procedure of 'moving' or straightening teeth to improve their look and how they work.
Toothkind offer a range of orthodontic procedures to suit all needs, including expansion plates, Myobrace, and fixed wire systems.
The Myobrace system works by addressing poor oral muscle habits (myofunctional habits).
In essence, the plates, that are worn over one to two hours a day and overnight and whilst completing specially designed exercises, work by retraining the muscles of the mouth and face and allow the teeth to naturally come into a better alignment.

This also benefits the patient by improved breathing, muscle function and the positioning of the tongue.
Orthodontics is not just about getting a perfect smile, it also helps look after your teeth, gum and jaw joint's long term health, through better distribution of your biting pressure over all of your teeth and joints and by making your teeth easier to clean.
Malalignment (when they don't bite together correctly) of your teeth can add strain to your jaw, this can sometimes cause headaches and pain from the jaw muscles and joints.
Expansion plates are made of hard acrylic and a wire that controls the expansion of the jaw using an adjustable screw in the center of the plate.
These are very useful on their own or before a Myobrace appliance or fixed wired braces.
If the look of braces is of a concern for you then we have options available including the use of clear or ceramic brackets and white wires.
Other options include adult Myobrace and Invisalign.
The whole team at Toothkind wish you a fantastic and safe Easter break, if there are any slight twinges to the sweets over the long weekend now maybe a good time to visit for a full examination and cleaning.
