Gum recession refers to a state in which the gums retract or recede away from the teeth, revealing a greater portion of the tooth's root. This can lead to increased risk of decay, gum sensitivity, and aesthetic concerns. Detecting and treating gum recession early is vital for preventing further damage and maintaining your oral health. While anyone, regardless of their age, can suffer from gum recession, in this article, we will be discussing the eight main causes.

8 Gum Recession Causes

There are several causes of gum recession, some of which you might have never considered. Here are eight of the most common gum recession causes:

1. Aggressive Brushing

When brushing your teeth, how often do you think about the right technique? Not that often, right? But did you know it’s important to take care of the pressure you apply while brushing your teeth? One of the most common causes of gum recession is aggressive brushing with a hard-bristled toothbrush. It not only wears down your teeth but also damages them and may lead to gum recession if continued for a long period.

2. Misaligned Teeth

Another reason for gum recession is tooth misalignment. As your toothbrush is unable to access the misaligned surface of such teeth, food debris can deposit around them, leading to receding gum.

3. Gum Disease

With improper oral care, there can be extreme build-up of tartar and plaque, making your gums a breeding factory for bacteria that can lead to gum disease, inflammation, and sometimes gum line cavity. If left untreated, this build-up can cause pocketing in the gums, leading to gum recession.

4. Hormonal Changes

Menopause, pregnancy, and puberty can cause hormonal fluctuations, leading to sensitive gums. When your gums are sensitive, they may recede.

5. Age

The older you grow, the more your gums recede. However, to stop gum recession during old age, maintain a good oral health routine. Brush your teeth twice a day and floss at least once daily. Maintaining good oral hygiene is non-negotiable as it may not just prevent gum recession due to old age but also keep you away from oral problems.

6. Tongue or Lip Piercing

Tongue or lip piercing can cause injury to your gums on the lower front teeth. If the trauma keeps repeating around the injured area, it can lead to further pulling back of the gums.

7. Teeth Grinding

Bruxism or grinding/clenching of your teeth can create pressure on your gums that can cause your gums to recede.

8. Tobacco Consumption

The chemicals used in tobacco products can cause gum recession over a period of time.

Does Invisalign Have to Do Anything with Receding Gums?

While the above reasons are the main causes of gum recession, a lot of people assume Invisalign might also contribute to worsening the condition. But how true is that? Let’s find out.

● Can Invisalign cause gum recession?

Invisalign might not be directly related to gum recession, but if these invisible aligners are not properly fitted for your jaw and teeth, they may cause receding gums. Too tight aligners can apply more than needed pressure on your teeth, which can cause gum recession.

● Can Invisalign worsen the state of gum recession?

Invisalign is meant to improve your teeth alignment for a better smile and enhanced oral hygiene. If they are too tight and not properly fitting, they may cause gum recession.

● How to avoid gum recession with Invisalign?

Follow proper oral hygiene, including:

- Flossing daily
- Brushing teeth twice a day
- Using a soft-bristled toothbrush
- Avoiding excess pressure while brushing your teeth
- Using an antimicrobial mouthwash

Additionally, applying dental wax over the edges of your aligners can protect your gums from the irritation and friction caused by the aligners coming into contact with your gums.

Bottom Line

Using properly fitted Invisalign will not directly cause receding gums, but you need to take proper measures, such as avoiding unnecessary pressure during brushing, following proper oral hygiene, and ensuring there’s no plaque build-up.

Can you see your child and family fully participating in this school?

Be sure you can see yourself engaging in the community and day-to-day life of the school. Make sure that family engagement is one of the school’s values, and that your participation is welcomed in the school environment.

Is this a school that sees your child as you see them?

A great school will see the value and beauty of who your child is now. While a school’s job is to prepare your child for the future, it should also recognize and acknowledge that your child is already a fully formed person, that yes, needs to mature and grow, but is also full of potential.

Do relationships come first?

Choose a school that values relationships with parents and students more than grades and test scores. School leadership, teachers, students, and parents should regularly interact with one another, forming strong relationships that help your child succeed.

Is this a school where there is a sense of joy?

Great schools have a palpable sense of joy that overflows from teachers and students. It is a joy that comes from each student being known and loved, therefore allowing them to feel safe, secure, and supported as they learn.

Is this a school that provides students with a curriculum that is worthy of their love and affection?

As you select a school, make sure the curriculum is carefully designed, and that you know the criteria for selection and philosophy of the curriculum.

Does the school have a vision for your child beyond academic preparation and success?

While success and academic preparation are of utmost importance in any school, consider the school’s broader goal for your child. The best school for your child should prepare them for not only academic success, but also success in relationships, in the ability to engage with ideas, and in critical thinking and reasoning skills.

When it comes to achieving a perfect smile, braces are a tried-and-true solution that has helped millions transform their teeth. But how do braces work, and what types are available to suit different needs and preferences?

In this blog, we'll delve into the working mechanic of braces and also explore their various types—from traditional metal ones to modern clear aligners.

How Do Braces Work?

Orthodontic braces work by applying constant pressure to your teeth and jaw to change their position for a more aligned look. There are several different components that help braces work effectively to realign your smile. These components include – brackets, archwire, bands, ligatures, rubber bands, spacers, buccal tubes, and springs.

The archwire applies gentle, continuous pressure on the teeth, which is transmitted through the brackets. The pressure exerted by the archwire stimulates the periodontal membrane (the tissue that surrounds the roots of the teeth) and triggers a biological process called bone remodeling. As bone remodeling occurs, the teeth gradually move into their new positions. The archwire's shape memory helps guide this movement.

What are the Types of Braces?

Depending on the status of your realignment and the condition of your teeth and jaw, there are different types of braces you can go for. The best-suited braces depend on the severity of your dental condition, the type of dental issue you have, and the personal preference you want to choose. Here are some types of braces that are widely popular:

1. Traditional Metal Braces

Metal braces are used to correct misaligned jaw and teeth. They are typically made of high-grade stainless steel and consist of several components such as archwire, brackets, bands, and ligatures. These traditional braces are used to treat a variety of dental issues, including:

• Crooked or misaligned teeth

• Overbites and underbites

• Crossbites

• Gaps between teeth

• Crowded teeth

2. Lingual Braces

 Lingual braces are similar to the metal braces. But instead of being visible in the front of the teeth, they are placed in the back surface of your teeth, making them virtually invisible from the outside. They are used for a variety of orthodontic issues, including:

• Crowded teeth

• Spacing issues

• Bite problems

• Alignment issues

These braces work in much the same way as traditional braces, using a system of brackets and wires to apply continuous pressure on the teeth, gradually moving them into the desired position.

3. Ceramic Braces

Like metal braces, ceramic braces also work the same way, only difference being they are discreet. These types of braces are made of translucent tooth colored material that makes them less noticeable than the traditional metal braces.

Ceramic braces are perfect for individuals who do not want the obviousness of metal braces, and are not comfortable with lingual braces that sit in the back surface of their teeth, but want the discreetness that the Invisalign provides them with without costing a fortune. They help in addressing dental issues like:

• Correct misaligned teeth

• Fix bite issues such as overbite, underbite, crossbite, and open bite

• Close gaps between teeth

• Address overcrowding of teeth

While these braces are great for discreetness, they are bulkier than metal braces and may stain based on your diet and brushing routine.

4. Clear Aligners

Clear aligners are made of transparent, medical-grade plastic, custom-fitted to the teeth of each patient. You must have heard about clear aligners through the most well-known brand – Invisalign. They work through a series of custom-made trays that gradually move teeth into the desired position.

With clear aligners, each set is worn for about two weeks before being replaced by the next set in the sequence. Clear aligners can be removed, and hence, are more convenient than metal braces. However, they must be worn for at least 22 hours daily, only being taken out for eating, drinking, and brushing your teeth.

5. Self Ligating Braces

Self-ligating braces function similarly to traditional metal and ceramic braces and can be made from either metal or clear/ceramic materials. Both types use brackets and a wire to align the teeth. However, the key distinction is that self-ligating braces utilize doors or clips to secure the wire, rather than using elastic rubber ties.

Bottom Line

Understanding how braces work and the variety of types available is crucial for anyone considering orthodontic treatment. Whether you choose traditional metal braces, the discreet appeal of ceramic braces, the convenience of self-ligating braces, or the modern innovation of clear aligners, each option offers unique benefits tailored to different needs and lifestyles.

Consulting with an orthodontist will help determine the best solution for achieving a healthier, more confident smile. Remember, the journey to perfect teeth might require time and patience, but the results are well worth the effort.

Are you getting enough sleep? It's a question you must’ve often heard for a good reason. Sleep is crucial for your overall health and well-being. However, there's a deeper connection between your sleep and your eye health. It's an interesting topic that has caught the attention of researchers and eye care professionals alike.

Whether you struggle with getting enough shut-eye or simply want to know how to rest your eyes, this post is here to help you. It explores the link between your quality of sleep and your eye health and gives you some practical tips on how to get a good night’s sleep. So let’s dive in!

What is the Connection Between Lack of Sleep and Eye Health?

Did you know that just like your brains and bodies, your eyes also heal themselves while you sleep? Thus, not getting enough shut-eye can cause issues like dryness, itchiness, bloodshot eyes, and other problems.

As a matter of fact, over time, sleep deprivation could even lead to more severe eye diseases like glaucoma. So, ensure you catch those Z's and give your eyes the rest they need! More details are coming up in the next section!

How is Sleep Helpful for Improving Eye Health?

Getting enough sleep can do wonders for your eye health. There are 4 key ways in which sleep can improve your eyesight. Let's take a closer look at each of them.

• Boosts the Eye Immunity
  Your immune system fights against harmful bacteria and viruses that can cause infections. The eyes are no exception to this. Lack of sleep can weaken your immune system, making you more susceptible to eye infections such as conjunctivitis or pink eye. Getting enough sleep helps to boost the immune system, thereby protecting the eyes from infections.

• Reduces the Risks of Dry Eye
  A dry eye is a common problem when your eyes don't make enough tears. It causes a lot of uncomfortable symptoms like irritation and vision issues. Not getting enough sleep can make it worse! That's because when you are sleep-deprived, your tear production slows down. But if you catch enough zzz's, your eyes produce enough tears and stay hydrated.

• Helps in Avoiding Glaucoma
  Glaucoma is a serious eye condition that damages the optic nerve, leading to blindness. But do you know sleep apnea and eye health are also interconnected in this context? Dry eyes and glaucoma can be the result of reduced oxygen and blood flow to the optic nerve due to sleep disorders such as sleep apnea. Thus, getting a sound sleep naturally prevents the chances of glaucoma in future.

• Reduces the Chances of Accidents Due to Sleep Deprivation
  Sleep deprivation can lead to fatigue, drowsiness, and impaired vision, increasing the risks of accidents and injuries. This is especially true for those who drive or operate heavy machinery. Getting enough sleep helps to reduce the chances of accidents due to sleep deprivation, as it improves alertness and concentration.

How to Relax Your Eyes & Get a Good Sleep at Night?

If you are struggling to get a good night's sleep, there are a few things you can try:

• Firstly, make sure your sleeping environment is cool enough to help you sleep more comfortably.
• Next, try to stick to a regular sleep schedule, even on weekends. This will help your body establish a routine and regulate your energy levels.
• Avoid eating within three hours of bedtime. Digestion can require a lot of energy, making it harder to drift off and stay asleep.
• Make sure your bedroom is as dark as possible. Even the tiniest bit of light can disturb your sleep.
• About an hour before bed, start dimming the lights in your home. This will signal your body and mind that it's time to relax and wind down.
• If you live in a noisy area, try sleeping with a fan or some white noise to help you fall asleep without distractions.
• Avoid using your smartphone, laptop, TV, or tablet at least two hours before bed to ensure you get enough melatonin, a chemical that helps you sleep.
• Regular exercise can also help you sleep better. But make sure to work out earlier in the day and not within three hours of bedtime.
• If nothing works, it may be worth consulting with your doctor. They can help you determine if you have a condition like sleep apnea that could impact your rest.

You now know the vital link between the quality of your sleep and the health of your eyes. Poor sleep can lead to a number of vision problems. But don't worry! From establishing a bedtime routine to creating a sleep-conducive environment, there are many strategies, as mentioned here, that you can use to get a good night's rest.

So take care of your eyes, prioritize your sleep, and don’t forget your annual eye exam to catch any eye condition early on – your body will thank you!

Are you trying to get accustomed to your newly fixed braces? Your pain and discomfort are entirely justified as it is a new foreign body strapped to your teeth. The first week after the braces treatment is challenging for everyone.But once you sail through it, your rest of the journey towards straight teeth is comparatively much easier.

We are here with 9 tips to help you survive your first week with braces. Check them out

1. Your gums and teeth need some time to get used to the constant pressure exerted by braces on them. You can take some over-the-counter pain medication for pain and inflammation.
2. Regular oral hygiene is vital during braces treatment. The food particles can get stuck in brackets and buildup cavities in your mouth. The solution is to brush your teeth after every meal with a soft-bristled toothbrush.
3. The pressure applied by the brackets on your gums leads to irritation and sores. But it is temporary. Use the wax provided by your orthodontist to fight these sores in your mouth.
4. Saltwater is an effective home remedy to minimize the pain of sores and heal the inflammation. Add half a teaspoon of salt to a cup of warm water. Rinse your mouth 5-6 times a day with this.
5.  A Mouthguard forms a protective barrier for the soft tissues of your gums. Always wear a mouthguard while playing sports or doing any physical activity to prevent your teeth and braces from any damage.
6. To fulfill your dream of straight teeth, you should learn to handlebraces emergencies like broken brackets or poking wires. Gain the knowledge of the first aid you need to do yourself before reaching the orthodontist.
7. You don’t eat as much with braces as you used to eat before. Therefore your mouth might feel dry. The solution is to stay hydrated. Keep sipping some water or any sugar-free beverage during the braces treatment.
8. Your gums and teeth are susceptible in the initial days of braces treatment. Thus, avoid eating too hot or cold or chilled food. Instead, consume food and drinks which are warm or cool or at room temperature.

You can be friends with the following soft foods to achieve the desired straight teeth after the braces treatment:-

• Cool Beverages Like Milkshakes and Smoothies
• Soft-Cooked Fish or Fish Sticks
• Steamed Vegetables
• Salads with Eggs, Tuna, Tofu, and Chicken
• Peanut Butter
• Grains Like Rice, Barley, Couscous, and Quinoa
• Fruit Cups and Ripe Fruits
• Hummus
• Soft Bread Like Pancakes and Sandwich Bread.
• Pasta and Noodles
• Stew and Soup
• Applesauce
• Fork-Tender Meats
• Beans
• Pudding
• Soft Dairy Products Like Yogurt, Cheese, Ice-cream, etc.

Parting Words!

These tips will help you in the first crucial week of the braces treatment and afterward as well. Never hesitate to contact your orthodontist in case of grave concern. Get ready to embrace a beautiful life-long smile and straight teeth.

Bonus tip - If your children need braces, taking them to a kids-friendly orthodontist will be a good idea.

STAR Institute's school readiness program provides opportunities that develop social success and communication, self-regulation within a school setting and help every child become an active part of their classroom community. Our goal is to provide a supportive, therapeutic group program that allows your child to build confidence, self-esteem, self-awareness, and maintain the regulation they need to transition to the school setting. School Readiness is designed by a therapist with extensive training and background in disordered sensory processing, occupational therapy in the school system, and child development. Each session is led by a fully licensed and trained OT. The schedule can accommodate your child's current school schedule.

Our occupational therapists have extensive training in sensory integration approach and the DIR/Floortime methodology, both of which focus on the child's capacity to regulate and communicate.

This program helps with:

• Increase participation in school-related large group activities (circle time, snack time)
• Increase independence in school-related hygiene (toileting and hand washing)
• Increase skill development for fine, gross and visual-motor skills
• Increase consistent communication of basic needs and wants
• Increase efficiency and timeliness of transitions   

Teacher’s Assistant Badge - This download is free.

Every one who teaches young students knows that helping some kids tie their shoelaces is a never ending daily task. Here’s something to help with that.

Ask the kids who know how to do it, to help the ones who don’t. Pass out these adorable badges to your volunteer shoelace-tying assistants. Then, let the others know who to turn to for shoelace-tying help. You will have more time to teach. The assistants will feel good about helping others. And the kids will make new friends. That’s a win-win for everyone.

This includes access to chat with their center, check tuition balances, and review child’s activities and photo gallery.

In recent times, children have developed an increasing interest and affiliation to learning coding as a subject. It's time to lead them on the right path and help them explore the horizon of knowledge and learning. There is a wide variety of programming languages for children to choose from when they start their learning journey. These languages differ in their complexity. Complex programming languages can make it difficult for kids to grasp. So, we recommend Python for budding coders. It is easy to learn and apply.

• Writing codes in Python is made easy. The keywords used in Python have similarities with Mathematics and English.
• Python debugging is easy when compared to other programming languages.
• Python acts as a base foundation to learn other complex programming languages.
• Easy set-up.
