smiles

We smile when recalling pleasant memories associated with good feelings. Birthdays, graduations, marriages, and anniversaries are just of the more popular events that bring smiles to every face. Watching a child grow up, graduate from college, get married, and celebrate wedding anniversaries are all good reasons to smile.

Celebrations and other events are the perfect occasions to share happiness with others. Getting together with family and friends, often while dressed in our finest, helps us to look and feel our best. A beautiful smile can be captured in photos and memories that will last a lifetime.

If you’re concerned that your smile could be better, contact an orthodontist for a complete evaluation of your dental structures. The teeth, gums, and other soft tissues will be examined and x-rayed to determine an effective treatment plan for improving your smile.

Invisalign

Invisalign treatment may be recommended. Braces are the most common treatment for aligning teeth and making the mouth healthier by preventing bacteria buildup in gum pockets or in hard-to-reach places between tilted teeth. Bacteria leads to decay, which then becomes cavities that can lead to tooth damage and loss. A qualified orthodontist can prescribe an Invisalign treatment plan using braces that will be hardly noticeable and work quickly to move your teeth into proper position.

Get Started

Make your smile even more beautiful by consulting Gorton & Schmohl Orthodontics for detailed information on how they can help. After a thorough examination, a treatment plan will be discussed to give you ideas on how your dental structures can be improved for better dental health and a prettier smile. They can answer questions to help you make an informed decision about getting your most memorable smile yet.

Teeth-Friendly Fruits & Vegetables No. 10: Pineapples 3

Teeth-Friendly Fruits & Vegetables No. 10: Pineapples

pineapples

Fruits and vegetables are an essential part of a healthy body, and your teeth are no exception. After visiting your orthodontist to have braces or Invisalign placed on your teeth, it is important to start incorporating fruits and vegetables in your diet to help in the development of a beautiful smile. Pineapples are an excellent choice that are not only considered a delicious fruit but are also full of vitamins and enzymes that help to stifle inflammation and maintain healthy bones.

Benefits of Pineapple

Pineapples are a sweet and refreshing tropical fruit that are enjoyed all over the world, especially on hot summer days. This fruit packs a powerful amount of vitamins that hold many benefits. Pineapples are exceptionally high in vitamin C, which aids in maintaining healthy gums, as well as a strong immune system. Manganese is a vitamin that is essential to bone and connective tissue development and can also be found in high amounts in pineapple.

In addition to vitamins, pineapple contains a protein-digesting enzyme called bromelain. This enzyme is known to help inflammation and for reducing pain. Bromelain can be a great addition to your diet, especially after visiting your orthodontist to tighten your braces or change your Invisalign tray; this can help to soothe some discomfort as your teeth adjust.

Other Benefits of Pineapple

• Heart-healthy
• Aids digestion
• Helps against free radicals
• Anti-inflammatory
• Protects against macular degeneration
• High in vitamin B1 for energy production

Pineapples are nature’s delicious and nutritious candy. You can incorporate this healthy fruit as a light breakfast, a healthy dessert or even as just a snack. With something so yummy, you will not only be rewarded in taste but also in health benefits.
