Calgary Orthodontist Speaks About Tooth Sensitivity

2012-01-13T12:38:00.000-08:00

You've just got new orthodontic braces; the first step towards a beautiful smile.

Maybe you're curious to know what to expect in terms of tooth sensitivity during orthodontic treatment.

It's normal for there to be some mild discomfort and sensitivity, especially after your braces initially go on or after a wire change.

Teeth move during orthodontic treatment by gentle force being applied to teeth. This force can make teeth sensitive to other pressures like chewy, hard candy, sticky food and chewing gum - all things that should ideally be avoided during orthodontic treatment. Try to avoid hard, chewy foods and opt for softer foods that won't add to any sensitivity.

Sensitivity can also occur while wearing braces due to an increase in plaque formation. Orthodontic brackets have a rough surface and can incease the formation of plaque - that's why it's so important to see your General Dentist while wearing braces, as regular cleanings will help keep plaque buildup to a minimum.
Your Calgary Orthodontist will explain why it's critical to keep your braces clean, with brushing and flossing, so that plaque does not stay on teeth surfaces and cause sensitivity. Not only can unclean brackets and teeth lead to sensitivity but it may also increase your chances of tooth decay. You don't want to end up with beautiful straight teeth, full of cavities!

Get in to the habit of always keeping your toothbrush with you and make sure you brush after every meal or and snack - and of course don't forget to floss.

Halloween Candy and Orthodontic Braces

2011-10-28T08:56:00.000-07:00

Halloween, one of the most popular days of the year for candy lovers! But will your orthodontic braces stop you from having some treats?

Enjoying some candy when wearing braces doesn't have to be a nightmare. The first thing to remember, whenever you're thinking of eating sweet, sticky food is that your toothbrush needs to be close by so that you can give your teeth, and braces, a good brush when you're done eating.

Try to avoid Halloween candy that is really sticky and chewy - sorry no toffee this year!

The stickier or chewier the candy the more chance there is of damaging your brackets. Sticky residue will also make keeping your teeth and braces clean very challenging. Hard candy should also be avoided as the biting into anything hard could pop a bracket off - no fun!

If you're going to be having some treats this Halloween, try to chose soft chocolate, like a peanut butter cup, or something similar that will literally melt in your mouth.

Don't be scared to have fun this Halloween, but remember to brush and floss and smile!

When Is It Time To See A Calgary Orthodontist

2011-10-21T09:58:00.000-07:00

Seeing a certified orthodontist is a great step in ensuring that your child's dental health is being well taken care of. But when is the right time to seek an orthodontic consultation?

Orthodontists suggest that an appointment to review a child's bite should be sought around the age of 7. This is a stage in a child's development that may reveal any possible future concerns.

However, it's never too early to seek the opinion of a Calgary Orthodontist if you or your General Dentist have concerns regarding your child's bite.

Ensuring that a child's bite is healthy doesn't just involve looking at teeth, and if they are straight.
An orthodontist will pay close attention to the development of the dental arches, skeletal development along with the individual teeth.

If you, or your child, are in need of an orthodontic consultation; call us today 403-287-076.
We are happy to answer questions and arrange an appointment.

Considering Braces In Calgary? Get The Straight Talk First

2011-10-07T12:51:00.000-07:00

There's a lot of information available to the public regarding different types of braces and orthodontic systems. If you're considering orthodontic treatment, it can be hard to sift through the advertising to get to the important message; what orthodontic option is right for you.

Seeing a Certified Orthodontist is a good place to start, as their exposure to different techniques, philosophies and systems helps them provide the best options for their patients.

It also allows them to predict if/when treatment might be more complex because they've treated and seen so many orthodontic cases. This knowledge and experience means that the orthodontic patient will be offered the right treatment plan for their case and be supported throughout the treatment phase.

Orthodontic treatment is an exciting time but consists of a commitment of time, funds and energy. This commitment is shared by the orthodontist so it's important to chose the right orthodontist for you - that way you'll be smiling all the time!

Dr. Cory Liss is a certified orthodontist in NW Calgary. Call today to schedule an appointment and discover more about orthodontic options.

Great Teeth In Calgary

2011-07-25T08:31:00.000-07:00

Now that you have your orthodontic braces on you need to pay special attention to brushing and flossing.

Remember food can get trapped around braces,

so you have to make sure that you're brushing regularly to avoid an increase risk of tooth decay.

Keep a toothbrush with you and brush after each snack and meal. Try to avoid drinking sugary sodas and skip the chewy, sticky candies. Eating an apple and a piece of cheese makes for a healthy snack and reduces the amount of sugars/acids in the mouth.

This Calgary Orthodontic Office wants you to have the best smile ever. That means not just straight teeth, but healthy teeth that are cavity free. Have fun on your summer vacation, but don't forget to pack your tooth brush and floss!

How To Handle an Orthodontic Emergency

2011-07-08T07:54:00.000-07:00

Truth be told, wearing orthodontic braces tends to be emergency free. There are times of frustration due to a pokey wire or sore gums; but rarely is there a situation requiring emergency treatment.

Having said that, how do you recognize common orthodontic frustrations, and how do you handle them?

Common orthodontic inconveniences are:

Tooth and/or gum discomfort
Poking Wire
Loose Bracket
Lost or broken elastics

Your Calgary Orthodontic Team will advise you of potential nuisances when your braces go on. They'll probably give you extra elastics and orthodontic wax to handle broken elastics and a pokey wire.

Regular tooth brushing and rinsing with warm salt water will take care of sore gums and don't hesitate to take some ibuprofen (as long as you're not allergic) for any tooth discomfort.

So, most orthodontic annoyances can be handled easily at home. If you have a loose bracket that requires recementing, then you'll need to made an appointment with your orthodontist, who will probably have emergency time set aside in his schedule.

Don't let the odd orthodontic annoyance spoil your experience of wearing braces. Braces are creating a great smile and healthy bite for you. Remember the positives and don't hesitate to talk to your Calgary Orthodontist if you have further questions.

Why Get Orthodontic Braces?

2011-06-17T11:34:00.000-07:00

It's common to believe that the benefit of seeking orthodontic treatment is just about straightening teeth.
Straight teeth, a beautiful smile and increase in self esteem are just a few of the benefits of wearing orthodontic braces.

Do you know that choosing orthodontic treatment for your child helps insure their overall health throughout their lifetime.

Studies show that individuals who have worn braces have a significantly lower risk of cardiovascular disease.

But orthodontic braces aren't just for teenagers. 20% of all orthodontic patients are over the age of 18 and people over the age of 60 have had successful orthodontic treatment.

Do something today to increase your overall health - seek an orthodontic consultation from a Certified Calgary Orthodontist - and you'll be smiling for more than one reason.

Calgary Braces Expert Shares Brushing Tips

2011-06-07T15:04:00.000-07:00

There's nothing as disappointing as removing braces on perfectly straight teeth, only to diagnose tooth decay.

Why can tooth decay be an issue when wearing braces?

More times than not it's due to lack of brushing or poor brushing technique. Don't fall into the trap of brushing just before bed. You've probably eaten some sticky food and maybe even drank the odd soda during the day - that means you have to brush more frequently and be more diligent when you brush.

Here are some quick tips on how to avoid increase risk of tooth decay and to keep your teeth clean.

Make sure your toothbrush is wet and place about 2 cm of toothpaste on the brush
Spread the toothpaste evenly on both your top and bottom teeth
Brush carefully for 2 minutes - using a timer can make this part easier
Take a sip of water and rinse the mouth, try not to spit the toothpaste out for 30 seconds
Don't rinse again and try not to eat or drink anything for 2 hours
Make sure you're brushing before bed, and in the morning after breakfast. If you can, carry a toothbrush with you so you can brush after lunch
And remember to keep your regular cleaning appointments with your general dentist!

Cory Liss Orthodontics is happy to answer any questions you may have on reducing tooth decay during orthodontic treatment - 403-287-0746

Discover The Benefits Of Orthodontic Braces

2011-04-01T10:20:00.000-07:00

Orthodontic braces have become a popular option for straightening teeth amongst adults and teenagers.
Braces today are more esthetically pleasing, some barely noticeable, so going about life remains normal with little or no frustrations.

There are many tangible benefits, apart from a beautiful smile, to straightening teeth. Crooked teeth are hard to keep clean, as brushing is way more difficult, so teeth are at greater risk of decay and premature loss.

Misaligned teeth also create gum issues, recessions and inflammation that can create long term health issues.
Teeth that are not in correct alignment can cause problems with chewing, speech development and cause the individual to suffer from poor self image.

Orthodontics braces have never been more esthetically pleasing, efficient, affordable with less discomfort. Don't let the idea of wearing braces stop you from creating a beautiful smile. Find out from Cory Liss Orthodontics how you can have a healthy, beautiful smile in no time.

Calgary Braces Specialist Shares Thoughts On Orthodontics

2011-02-25T10:24:00.000-08:00

So how do orthodontists straighten teeth?

Tooth movement is actually a normal response to light pressures exerted on teeth. Pressure is applied by using a variety of orthodontic hardware (appliances), the most common being a brace or bracket attached to the teeth and connected by wires. By tightening wires, the teeth receive the pressure needed to start the alignment process.

However, choosing the most efficient bracketing system makes the process easier, with less discomfort, and less office visits. At Cory Liss Orthodontics we are proud to offer SureSmile, the latest in orthodontic technology, a system that uses robotically made custom wires. These custom wires ensure a beautiful end result - that lasts!

If you're contemplating orthodontic treatment call Cory Liss Orthodontics to discuss all your treatment options. Whether it's SureSmile, Invisalign or the Damon Bracketing System, choose an orthodontic team who can get you smiling faster.

The Timing Of Orthodontic Treatment In Calgary

2011-01-21T09:24:00.000-08:00

Calgary Orthodontic Specialist

The proper timing of orthodontic treatment is essential to producing the most favorable result. Each patient is different and therefore requires an individualized approach to treatment. Some conditions require the attention of the orthodontist as soon as they are detected (e.g. harmful habits).

While others require treatment to coincide with periods of rapid growth or a time where cooperation can be maximized. Crowding, potential trauma and the eruption status of teeth are other factors that must be taken into consideration.

The timing and approach to orthodontic treatment can be as unique as the individual patient. Many factors are taken into consideration when a diagnosis is made and the treatment planned.

An orthodontic evaluation is the best way to determine if and when orthodontic treatment is required.
Call us today to schedule your consultation - we'll have you smiling in no time!! 403-287-0746

Cory Liss Orthodontics is a Calgary Orthodontic Specialty Office located in the Crowfoot Business Centre. This Orthodontic Team offers the latest in options for braces including, Invisalign, SureSmile and the Damon Bracketing System.

The Straight Talk On Orthodontics In Calgary

2011-01-14T12:35:00.000-08:00

Calgary Braces Specialist

Calgary Orthodontists use many different types of appliances to move teeth. Simple, limited tooth movements can be accomplished with a plastic retainer that simply pushes or pulls teeth in the desired direction.

Movements are limited because these types of appliances do not have control of teeth in all three planes of space.

More significant tooth movements require braces (orthodontic brackets). Braces come in many shapes, sizes, colors, styles and essentially act like small handles attached to teeth. With the addition of the orthodontic wire, these handles slowly move teeth into place. Currently, many orthodontists are moving towards braces with less friction. These Self-Ligating braces replace the colored rings on every tooth with small doors. Less friction means longer appointment intervals, lighter wires and less patient discomfort.

Invisalign is another exciting option, where clear custom fabricated molds are used to slowly move teeth into place.

Are You Taking Care Of Your Orthodontic Braces?

2010-10-15T13:51:00.000-07:00

Halloween is right around the corner. A fun time for trick or treat but what do you get to eat if you're wearing orthodontic braces?

We admit, any toffee or licorice shouldn't even make it home. You have to remember the stickier and chewier the candy, the more damage it can do to your braces. But orthodontic braces don't have to be a nightmare at Halloween - just avoid anything hard and crunchy or soft and sticky!

That means you get to enjoy chocolate and treats like regular M&M's and any candy bar without caramel.

So, it's not so bad. Have a safe, fun Halloween and remember to BRUSH and FLOSS your TEETH - regardless of what you eat.

Cory Liss Orthodontics is located in NW Calgary and provides orthodontic treatment for adults and children. Offering the latest in orthodontic technology like SureSmile, Damon Braces and Invisalign.
Call today for your consultation - no referral required.

Calgary Orthodontist Wants You To Make Great Choices

2010-10-08T12:15:00.000-07:00

Did you know that you're as successful as the people you hang around with?

Cory Liss Orthodontics is committed to being a Calgary Orthodontic Office that embodies the qualities that supports healthy relationships and interaction. Orthodontic treatment allows teenagers to gain confidence in their appearance, but may be a time of self-consciousness. Providing clear orthodontic brackets, that are barely noticeable, can help increase patients willingness to smile during treatment. Acknowledging that wearing braces is not always easy, motivates this orthodontic team to provide solutions and support so that treatment time is fun.

Are you making good choices when it comes to who you hang out with? Remember, if you want to be the best you can be, surround yourself with people who support you and your choices.

Calgary Orthodontic Specialist Shares Tips For A Successful Consultation

2010-10-01T13:22:00.000-07:00

Your general dentist has recommended that you seek a consultation from a Certified Orthodontist. You may have received preliminary information regarding the need for orthodontic treatment but are unsure what to expect at the consultation.

Calgary Orthodontist, Dr. Cory Liss, offers patients some tips to make sure that the orthodontic consultation is successful. Below is a guideline for getting the most out of the consultation so that you can walk away with enough information to be able to make an informed decision.

1. Make sure the reason for orthodontic treatment is fully explained.
2. The orthodontist should be clear on the best time to start treatment to bring about the desired result.
3. There are many different orthodontic systems and appliances available. The orthodontist should explain   the treatment approach and the need to use certain systems.
4. You will need to know the expected length of treatment.
5. Discussing expecations of appearance once treatment is completed will help dispell concerns and/or unrealistic hopes.
6. It's important to discuss the pros and cons of treatment - as you may be unnecessarily concerned.
7. Treatment cost and payment plan should be disclosed.

As with any health related decision, gathering the right information will make the decision easier and the treatment less prone to surprises. Orthodontic treatment can be a rewarding experience so seek out a consultation with someone who is able to provide great information, service and results.

Orthodontist In Calgary Talks About The Hazards of Tongue Piercing

2010-09-27T17:45:00.000-07:00

Your teenage daughter pierced her nose last year. Now she's sporting a tongue barbell - she's gone and pierced her tongue.

As with tattoos, piercing is a highly fashionable trend that teenagers are enthusiastically embracing. But what are the long-term dental ramifications associated with tongue piercing?

The constant "playing" with the barbell, (the tongue always gravitates to the foreign object), pushes up against the front teeth. Over time a slight gap starts to form - soon there's a noticeable gap and gum tissue looks inflammed. The self formed gap between the front teeth has just turned into a costly investment at the dentist and or orthodontist. Teeth that have been forced out of place don't miraculously move back into alignment. Teeth that are out of alignment are also at high risk for chipping and breaking - another trip to the dentist.

Encouraging teenagers self expression is an important part of their development. But being realistic about the possible outcome of tongue piercing, and how these outcomes might impact the individuals long-term dental health, opens the door for a great conversation on making smarter, less expensive, choices.

Psychological Benefits Of Wearing Orthodontic Braces

2010-09-20T15:56:00.000-07:00

In orthodontics, as in life, it’s easy to list the negatives of any situation. Wearing braces is no exception to this human dilemma.

But what’s more important is to mention the numerous psychological benefits of investing in orthodontic treatment. Studies reveal that low self esteem, due to an individual’s dissatisfaction in their smile, is greatly improved when smile issues have been addressed. Whether we want to admit it or not, our society can make some pretty harsh judgments against people whose looks don’t measure up.

Imagine what it’s like for a teenager to participate with their peer group when they don’t feel confident about themselves. Hearing from Mom and Dad that they’re great sometimes just isn’t enough, it’s how their school or soccer friends interact with them, which has a greater impact. But with over 80% of teenagers needing some form of orthodontic appliance wearing braces can be an opportunity to bond. After all we all want to fit in.

So how do you support your teenager/child through the process of wearing braces? A great start is to seek a consultation with a Certified Calgary Orthodontist who can offer the latest in orthodontic brackets. Having access to the latest technology means being able to offer the most up to date esthetics, and that can make the difference between making orthodontic treatment rewarding, or painful.

But what about the other segment of population who seeks orthodontic care? There are more adults seeking orthodontic treatment today than ever before. Granted some of the reasons they are turning to orthodontics is to address issues like TMD, Migraines, Neck and Shoulder pain, but there are those who have decided to perfect their smile so that they feel more confident in life. The feedback from adult patients who have completed orthodontic treatment is that they just can’t stop smiling. They feel younger, more desirable, more confident and more sociable. Though esthetics may not have driven all adult patients to seek orthodontic treatment, the esthetic results are just as powerful and transforming in all cases. The sense of having a great smile, healthy dentition and being pain free gives adults the ability to focus on their lives in a positive way.

Orthodontic treatment offers people a chance to feel great about themselves and to therefore accomplish things in life that they would otherwise not attempt. Calgary Orthodontist Cory Liss is dedicated to helping patients discover their self confidence by creating beautiful smiles.

Calgary Orthodontic Specialist Shares Some Great Information

2010-09-14T16:53:00.000-07:00

Calgary Orthodontist, Dr. Cory Liss, knows it's important to give the 'straight talk' when it comes to orthodontic treatment, and shares information so that parents and teens can make the right decision about braces.

Orthodontic treatment has come a long way since the days of heavy metal wires and brackets, bulky headgear and the associated "nerd factor." Today's teenagers get more than straight teeth at the orthodontist's office -- they get fashion accessories.

Image-conscious teens can now choose from a wide range of options to straighten their teeth while maintaining their "cool factor," including tooth-colored or clear brackets; rainbow-colored wires and bands; or nearly invisible, removable appliances called Invisalign.

Want Straight Teeth - See a Certified Calgary Orthodontist

2010-09-06T14:19:00.000-07:00

Creating a beautiful smile is one thing - creating a healthy smile is another.
Straight teeth are only one aspect of a healthy smile. Straight teeth that are in correct arch alignment, creating a healthy bite and dental system is what an orthodontist strives for.

Certified Calgary Orthodontist, Cory Liss, recognizes the need to look beyond 'teeth' by addressing the dental system as a whole. That means paying attention to other symptoms that may suggest the need for orthodontic treatment. Also taking the child's age in to consideration when developing a treatment plan means increasing the success of treatment.

But with so many orthodontic systems available how does an orthodontist know which system to offer?
Cory Liss Orthodontics specializes in offering treatment options that decrease treatment time and discomfort. This translates to fewer office visits without compromising treatment results.

Offering the latest orthodontic technology like SureSmile allows this Calgary Orthodontist to deliver a beautiful, healthy smile in a timely, efficient manner. If you're thinking of straightening your teeth start with a consultation and learn more about orthodontic treatment and the great systems available to you.

Adults and Braces

2010-08-24T13:17:00.000-07:00

Want to straighten your teeth?

Think braces are just for teenagers?

More adults are getting braces than ever before - why - apart from the obvious esthetic benefits, braces address the many symptoms that teeth in poor alignment contribute to.

Your teeth may not be straight, but the bigger concern for you might be daily headaches, neck and jaw discomfort, ringing in the ears, shoulder and back discomfort. These symptoms are all associated with bite issues. If your teeth are not in proper alignment then your bite will be off, contributing to gum disease and premature tooth loss, in addition to the above mentioned concerns.

Getting braces is a big decision at any age. Getting braces as an adult means finding out which orthodontic system is best for you. At Cory Liss Orthodontics we offer the latest in brace systems with SureSmile, Damon Bracketing System and Invisalign.

How the Latest Orthodontic Technology Can Get You Smiling Faster

2010-08-23T15:17:00.000-07:00

SureSmile, the latest technology to hit the orthodontic sector, offers the most advanced way to get patients their perfect smile.

This robotic technology out of Texas gives orthodontists a full-proof option for treatment planning and design. Traditional braces use standard archwires that fit in the brackets for the orthodontist to manually adjust. The human hand obviously can not make the fine adjustments that the robot can - meaning your SureSmile treatment is more precise, efficient and pain free than a traditional bracketing system. With this technology orthodontists can take the guessing out of patients treatment plan as the robot has already worked out the timing of wire changes etc.

This system has been featured on the hit show 'The Doctors' and has made the evening news due to its immeasurable treatment benefits. Orthodontic treatment is a commitment of time, energy and finances so you need to make sure you're being offered the best care available. Old style 'train tracks' are not your only option - in fact there are many fast and precise ways of getting you your best smile ever - without breaking the bank!

Like any decision regarding your health, research is required, so ask around about the SureSmile orthodontic system so you can find out for yourself if it's everything that it lives up to be. There are several videos on You Tube that demonstrates the effectiveness of SureSmile compared to traditional braces. This cutting edge technology is being offered by 5 dentists across Canada and is gaining attention globally.

Cory Liss Orthodontics is a Certified SureSmile provider based in Calgary. Along with SureSmile Dr. Liss offers other orthodontic systems that address decreasing treatment time and discomfort. For more information visit http://www.corylissortho.ca or call 403-287-0746.

Self Esteem - Are you being kind to yourself?

2010-04-18T14:35:00.000-07:00

Why Is Self-Esteem Important?

Self-esteem is all about how much people value themselves, the pride they feel in themselves, and how worthwhile they feel. Self-esteem is important because feeling good about yourself can affect how you act. A person who has high self-esteem will make friends easily, is more in control of his or her behavior, and will enjoy life more by making smarter decisions.

A positive, optimistic attitude can help develop a strong self-esteem — for example, saying, "Hey, I'm human" instead of "Wow, I'm such a loser" when you've made a mistake, or not blaming others when things don't go as expected all help build self confidence.

Knowing what makes you happy and how to meet your goals can help you feel capable, strong, and in control of your life. A positive attitude and a healthy lifestyle (such as exercising and eating right) and surrounding yourself with friends who support you, are a great start for building healthy self-esteem.

Never Stop Learning

2010-03-05T10:23:00.000-08:00

It's a busy week at Cory Liss Orthodontics as Dr. Liss and his clinical staff are in Texas at a SureSmile convention.

SureSmile, the latest in orthodontic technology, is a huge part of Cory Liss Orthodontics so staying on top of this robotic technology is a priority. Dr. Liss and his team will be introduced to new techniques and be given tools to make sure that the patient experience is always a great one.

While the clinical staff are across the border, the office administrators are in Banff, attending the annual ASO (Alberta Society of Orthodontists) meeting. Attendance at this conference keeps staff up to date on all aspects of orthodontics and allows them to share ideas with their peer group.

We hope you're staying on top of your game, be it school or work, and challenging yourself to learn something new everyday.

Go For Gold!!

2010-02-19T09:35:00.000-08:00

When it's easy to quit, Alexandre Bilodeau is an example of where dedication can take you.

Not only is Alexandre an Olympic Gold Medal athlete, but an excellent student and mentor. He has probably had many challenging moments in his life that have made him consider giving up on his dreams. But he persevered and stayed the course.

We know that wearing braces can sometimes present challenges that make you think of giving up, or not starting orthodontic treatment. Don't let minor annoyances stop you from having a Gold Medal Smile! Focus on the end goal and remember that you can achieve great results.

Thanks Alexandre for giving Canada it's first Gold Medal on home ground, and showing us that perseverance always wins!

We Have a Winner!
