Remover a band remover is a unique set of pliers orthodontists use to remove bands and brackets from teeth. Bands are metal rings that are placed on teeth to hold on parts of braces, and brackets are made from metal or ceramic and are glued onto each tooth to hold the arch wire. Bite Stick As an orthodontist applies bands to a person's braces, he usually asks the patient to bite down on a bite stick. Cheek Retractors Cheek retractors are plastic instruments used to pull back and hold a patient's cheeks and lips in place. Cheek retractors leave the mouth exposed for the orthodontist to see clearly while she works on teeth during a procedure. Cheek retractors lock into place, providing a stable position and

 Curing

Light It is important to wear protective glasses when exposed to a curing light. a curing light as a UV light orthodontists use to attach brackets to teeth; the light increases the adhering component of dental resin. The process of attaching braces with a curing light takes 20 to 60 seconds, so a patient does not have to sit uncomfortably for a long period of time waiting for the adhesive to dry. The patient and orthodontist must wear eye protection to avoid retinal damage the ultraviolet rays can cause. Distal End Cutter Distal end cutters are pliers used to cut and hold the arch wires, which are attached to a patient's brackets and are routinely tightened, gradually moving the teeth.

Dental x-ray unit

Dental X-rays are pictures of the teeth, bones, and soft tissues around them to help find problems with the teeth, mouth, and jaw. X-ray pictures can show cavities, hidden dental structures (such as wisdom teeth), and bone loss that cannot be seen during a visual examination. Dental X-rays may also be done as follow-up after dental treatments

Dental X-rays are done to:

Find problems in the mouth such as tooth decay, damage to the bones supporting the teeth, and dental injuries (such as broken tooth roots). Dental X-rays are often done to find these problems early, before any symptoms are present. Find teeth that are not in the right place or do not break through the gum properly. Teeth that are too crowded to break through the gums are called impacted. Find cysts, solid growths (tumors), or abscesses. Check for the location of permanent teeth growing in the jaw in children who still have their primary (or baby) teeth. Plan treatment for large or extensive cavities, root canal surgery, placement of dental implants, and difficult tooth removals. Plan treatment of teeth that are not lined up straight (orthodontic treatment). Without X-rays, dentists may miss the early stages of decay between teeth.

Dental Health Record

The accurate dental health may provide important and valuable information for the dentist prior to beginning treatment. All dentists should take health histories initially and update the same periodically as necessary. A health history form can address: health conditions or illnesses that may affect or be affected by dental treatment; medications that a patient is currently taking that will have a potential drug interaction with the local anesthetic or other drugs the dentist may prescribe that may affect dental treatment or a patient's other health condition(s); and reason a patient is seeking care. Dentists have a responsibility to obtain and maintain current health histories of patients. Team

It is also important that a patient understands the questions, provides answers where appropriate and sign the completed form. Patients should be encouraged, if they do not understand the form, to discuss it with the dentist or office staff. A health history form provides a starting point for the dental team to fulfill its professional obligations.

The

dental record, also referred to as the patient's chart, is the official office document that records all of the treatment done and all patient-related communications that occur in the dental office. State and federal laws or regulations determine how it is handled, how long it is kept and who may have access to the information. The dental record provides for continuity of care for the patient and is critical in the event of a malpractice insurance claim.
