LASER THERAPY FOR TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINT

Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD) is a condition that affects the jaw joint and surrounding muscles. It can cause pain, clicking or popping sounds when opening or closing the mouth, difficulty chewing, and even headaches. TMD can be caused by a variety of factors, including teeth grinding, stress, arthritis, and injury to the jaw.

How Does Laser Therapy Work?

During laser therapy, a low-level laser is used to target the affected area. The laser emits a focused beam of light that is absorbed by the cells in the tissue. This stimulates the cells, increasing their metabolism and promoting healing.

In the case of TMD, laser therapy can be used to reduce inflammation in the joint and surrounding muscles. It can also help to improve circulation, which can speed up the healing process.

One of the main benefits of laser therapy for TMD is that it is a non-invasive treatment option. This means that it does not require any incisions or injections and is a drug-free option that can be used alone or in combination with other treatments such as physical therapy, massage, and medication.

Laser therapy is also relatively painless. Patients may feel a mild warming or tingling sensation during the treatment, but there is no discomfort or pain associated with the procedure.

The duration of the treatment may vary depending on the severity of the condition and the patient’s individual needs.

The benefits of laser therapy for TMJ include pain relief, reduced inflammation, improved jaw mobility, and faster healing

While laser therapy may not be a cure for TMD, it can be an effective way to manage the condition’s symptoms. It can be used in conjunction with other treatments, such as physical therapy and medication, to provide a comprehensive approach to managing TMD.

BLACK TRIANGLE CORRECTION

woman-1284304_960_720If you have noticed gaps or black triangles between your teeth, you may be interested in a cosmetic dental procedure known as Black Triangle Correction. This procedure can help to improve the appearance of your smile by filling in gaps and creating a more natural contour between your teeth.

What is Black Triangle?

Black Triangle is the unsightly triangular space present at the base between the two teeth where gums have receded. It appears black as the darkness of the mouth is visible behind the teeth. The presence of this triangular space is annoying since bubbles are formed while talking and one can constantly feel the air passing between the teeth. This can impose a severe blow on one’s self-confidence and can make you look older.

What Causes Black Triangles?

Black triangles, or gaps between teeth, can occur for a variety of reasons. The most common causes include:

  • Gum Recession: As gum tissue recedes, it can leave gaps between the teeth.
  • Bone Loss: As bone loss occurs, it can cause teeth to shift, creating gaps between them.
  • Tooth Movement: Over time, teeth can shift or move, causing gaps to form between them.

While black triangles may not cause any functional problems, they can be a cosmetic concern for many people. Black Triangle Correction can help to address this issue and improve the appearance of your smile.

At Teeth Care Centre®, there are a number of treatment options available to prevent food lodgement and restore lost aesthetics. Some of the commonly used treatment modalities are:

Braces / Invisalign: In the case of very narrow spaces, teeth can be moved closer by applying gentle and continuous force using braces.

Composite Bonding: Tooth-coloured resin called composite is bonded to the teeth, in order to fill the triangular gap between the two teeth by thickening the base of the teeth.

Veneers: These are custom-made, wafer-thin layers of tooth-colored material placed on the front surface of teeth to fill in the dark spaces created by the loss of papilla tissue.

Gum Surgery: In cases of severe gum recession, the gums can be re-contoured or formed back using gum grafts.

Dermal Fillers: These are temporary solutions to plump the gum tissues and close the triangular spaces. Fillers are injected into the gums till the triangular void is filled. However, this is a temporary fix and lasts only up to six months.

Gingival Masks: These are pink removable appliances resembling gingiva and are used to fill the triangular voids between the teeth. They can be snapped in and out of the mouth on will-like dentures.

Bioclear Method: Bioclear is an alternative to traditional bonding and porcelain. Unlike bonding and porcelain which require some tooth removal for their placement, bioclear is non-invasive and restores the black triangle without requiring any tooth preparation.

Hyaluronic Acid: It is the non-surgical means of reconstructing the interdental papilla using hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid aids in wound healing and speeds up periodontal repair and regeneration.

Papilla Reconstruction: It is the surgical approach to fill the black triangle by placing a connective tissue graft trimmed accordingly to fit the size of the black triangle.

Is Black Triangle Correction Right for You?

While Black Triangle Correction is a safe and effective procedure, it may not be suitable for all patients. Before undergoing this treatment, it is important to discuss any concerns or questions with your dentist to determine if this procedure is right for you.
