Chronic, migraine-like headaches are the most common symptom of the painful jaw alignment problem known as temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ or TMD).

One of the best ways to prevent teeth stains is to practice a good dental hygiene and teeth cleaning routine.

A quality oral health regimen includes brushing your teeth at least twice every day with a soft-bristled toothbrush and flossing at least once a day. Rinsing with an antiseptic or anticavity mouthwash after you brush and floss can help remove lingering food particles and kill additional bacteria.

Invisalign has a lot of things about it that are revolutionary. The durable, BPA plastic aligners, the computer software that designs the ideal sequence of your teeth movement set Invisalign apart from other orthodontic treatments, but it’s important to remember that Invisalign is also very similar to other orthodontic treatments in its basic working principles.
