Surprising Facts about the Origins of Orthodontics

  1.  Straighter teeth s tarted in Egypt. 2. Traditional braces have been around for almost 300 years. 3. Braces used to have a whole lot more metal. They were custom to each person and wrapped around the entire tooth.  They were then cemented in the mouth.           Before the 1970’s, orthodontists hand anchor brackets to teeth by winding wires tightly around each individual tooth 4. The first book about dentistry was written in 1840.           Chapin A. Harris published his first book; “The Dental Art”. It describes practices about soldering knobs on bands to assist tooth rotation as well as applying gold caps to molars to open the dental bite.  

Molar Monday

  On Mondays we like to educate. Did you know that not all wisdom teeth need to be pulled?  Wisdom teeth typically start erupting when you are 18-24 years old.   Dentists and Orthodontists check on the amount of room needed for the wisdom teeth to come in and usually tend to refer to an oral surgeon if there is not enough room for them to fully erupt or if the don't have an opposing tooth to bite on.  Normally people get a new molar tooth every 3-6 years until they reach maturity.  The most common missing teeth are wisdom teeth and are also most likely to be pulled. If you still have all of your teeth including wisdom teeth you need to make sure you are keeping them clean and healthy and see your dentist every 6 months for a cleaning.
