Ultimate Crooked Teeth Solution
AL’S STORY
Al has been a patient of Dr. Muslin for many years and has good oral health, but he has crooked and severely worn down teeth that significantly age his appearance and put him at risk for serious bite problems. Dr. Muslin had mentioned to Al that he is a heavy bruxer (teeth grinder) and the wear of his teeth would only continue to worsen with time.
Al was reluctant to commit to a full mouth reconstruction for several years, but after seeing "before and after photos" of many of Dr. Muslin’s Face-Lift Dentistry ® patients, he was convinced that this would be a good procedure for him. The patients in the pictures not only experienced remarkable cosmetic improvements, but they all reported improved overall health and a more comfortable bite.
COMPLEX COSMETIC DENTISTRY
Al had a deep overbite and his teeth were short and broken from years of wear and some of his dental work was over 20 years old. He was concerned for his health as his teeth continued to deteriorate. Al’s crooked teeth also bothered him and he wondered if they could be straightened without wearing braces for years. Dr. Muslin explained that Face Lift Dentistry ® could correct all of these problems in a few short weeks without needing any down time from work.
WHAT IS FACE-LIFT DENTISTRY ®?
Sam Muslin, D.D.S., M.A.G.D., developed and perfected the Face-Lift Dentistry ® technique, which maximizes the patient’s facial characteristics, maximizes their dental health while naturally removing years of aging from the face. No facial surgery is required as the treatment is limited to the teeth. Because the teeth provide support for the face, the wearing down of the teeth (that occurs as part of the natural aging process) causes our bites to get deeper and our faces to get shorter. With a simple simulation, Dr. Muslin showed Al how he would look after treatment and it made Al look younger instantly. Dr. Muslin explained that by completely rebuilding his bite, lengthening his teeth and changing the angulations of the teeth, his health would be dramatically improved, all of the teeth would be at maximum health and his appearance would look revitalized.
BITE RECONSTRUCTION
There are many methods and different levels of a bite reconstruction. Not all dentists can achieve the best possible results and many are unskilled with TMJ problems. Even the greatest bite reconstructions do not accomplish the level of results available with Face-Lift Dentistry ®. Face-Lift Dentistry ® involves a bite reconstruction technique that permanently lengthens the patient’s face. The procedure is safe and highly predictable because Dr. Muslin uses a Complex Motion Tomography in his office to monitor the jaw joint throughout the procedure. The jaw will naturally reposition itself if the technique facilitates jaw movement. Face-Lift Dentistry ® can help people with the most complex dental needs and the cosmetic possibilities are surprising to new patients. Most patients never thought that the teeth could support the face with such dramatic results.
TMJ (TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINT) AND BITE CORRECTION
We have all heard the "sixty is the new fifty and fifty the new forty…" This is because nowadays, people are living much longer; so it comes to no surprise that we need to take greater care of our teeth so they last as long as we do. By age 60, most of us have (or will have) considerable wear on our teeth and our bites have generally gotten worse. Additionally, our faces have shortened because of the lost support to the soft tissue and the wear of our teeth. Face Lift Dentistry ® restores the teeth to reverse the years of wear and coordinate the bite with the TMJ so that our faces are lengthened, facial wrinkles and creases are reduced, lips are supported, our health improved and we look and feel years younger. No matter whom we see or where we go, we can now present ourselves in the best naturally healthy state possible.
CROOKED TEETH AND "INSTANT BRACES"
"Instant Braces" refers to the non-invasive porcelain veneer procedure that instantly straightens your teeth without dealing with braces. Al now has straight and whiter teeth with a perfectly balanced bite that was completed in only three weeks per arch. The patient chose a custom shade and tooth style to suit his own preferences. Additionally, his health was dramatically improved when all of his old dental crowns and old fillings were replaced. All of the new porcelain crowns and porcelain veneers are biologically compatible and fit perfectly. His lower jaw was repositioned to a more forward position, using a natural process that helps the patient adjust very quickly. During Face Lift Dentistry ® the best jaw position is located without the patient being aware of the process. Most patients do not realize that they need to have their jaw in a better position until treatment is completed. Then they realize how much more comfortable they feel.
