The ultimate destination for braces treatment ( NO COMPROMISE IN QUALITY)

15/01/2025

Babies should begin using an open cup between 6 and 9 months of age. During this time, developing babies are typically starting to use their tongue, jaw and lips independently from each other.

Often, parents find a cup that "works" for their child, which is usually a spouted sippy cup. Spouted sippy cups were designed by an engineer who was tired of his children spilling liquids on the carpet.
The cups were not at all designed with oral development in mind, but with fantastic branding and the convenience of a no-spill cup, they quickly became the "go to" after graduating from the bottle.
Continued use of these cups can lead to harmful changes of the orofacial complex, including forward resting tongue posture, open/anterior bite, and mouth breathing.

STOP GIVING PACIFIERS TO BABIES!

Parents these days just want to be entertained by their children. I can imagine an adult sticking a moustache shaped pacifier into a baby's mouth for a laugh, of course beside tsking the shortcut to shut their crying!

It's sad to see ridiculous and dangerous trends like these fancy pacifiers attached to gold chains or irresistible plushies being all the rage among urban parents!

These are distorting your babies jaws and causing muscle imbalances which will lead to a lifetime of health problems, the discussion of which is beyond the scope of this post.

📍When I was a child, I used to eat only from one side, and I kept food in my cheek and basically took a long time to finish a meal. Sadly the adults around me, especially the ones not even concerned with raising me, addressed this by bullying me, shaming me and in general scarring me for something that I was struggling with.
I'm putting this out here for parents to read and know that this is far too common, but something that the child needs professional help with.

📍Chewing is one of the twenty functions performed by the head and neck region. It is a complex activity and should be performed on both sides of the mouth with similar number of bites on each side.
However, in modern civilizations, there is a higher incidence of Chewing on one side only, which cannot be considered normal and may produce asymmetries during growth and development.

📍Unilateral chewing may occur in children due to cavities which causes the child to chew on the opposite side to avoid pain, or simply, because a soft diet is maintained and the child does not reach muscular tiredness and soreness on the chewing side to force the movement of food to the opposite side.

Does your regular checkup include the mouth and the airway?

A number of seemingly unconnected medical problems and diseases actually originate in the mouth; whether it may be the shape of the jaws or their size or the lack of harmony between the jaws.
A few examples would be chronic acidity, inability to remain asleep, headaches or neck pains, poor immunity and more severe ones like hypertension or high BP.

Even though the mouth and the body are connected, that's not the case in Indian health care today. There is a division between medical versus dental in both clinical care and health insurance; that division does not exist in the body.
Dentists do teeth, doctors do body and mind, and the mouth is left off the body. In practice, this division can and does result in 'missing mouth syndrome' - with serious consequences.

It is problematic that many dental professionals who provide orthodontic services are seemingly unable to provide parents/caregivers of young/very young children with incipient malocclusion traits with advice beyond "wait and watch" or possibly "save up your money for braces" per the obvious predictability, persistence, and usual worsening of malocclusion beyond the primary dentition.

For example, even though there is ample published evidence within peer-reviewed orthodontic and other scientific journals showing that narrow and highly vaulted hard palates, retrusive and vertically developing mandible, and anterior open-bites are all considered malocclusion phenotypes that can serve as signals for existing or future comorbid airway disease, which can be predictive of increased risk for ADD/ADHD susceptibility, the American Association of Orthodontists continues to recommend that children should receive their first orthodontic evaluation at about 7 years of age.

What that means is plenty of children who could get help, fall through the cracks and a preventable diagnosis of ADHD can lead to prescription and unfortunate abuse of powerful stimulants like Ritalin and Adderall.

Fluoride is used with the claim that it strengthens tooth enamel and remineralizes tooth decay.
One JAMA article, from 18 September 1943, states that fluorides are general protoplasmic poisons. They inhibit enzyme systems, and water containing 1 ppm or more Fluoride is undesirable.

The US Public Health Service endorsed nationwide fluoridation of water, shortly after a lawyer of one of the largest producers of hazardous Fluoride waste was appointed as the head of the US PHS in 1947. Coincidence much??

The chemicals used to fluoridate 90 % of public drinking water are industrial-grade hazardous wastes captured in the air pollution control scrubber systems of the phosphate fertilizer industry, called silico-fluorides.

Do you need even more of that fluoride in your toothpaste and mouthrinses??
