Is there a chance that a malocclusion class 1 can go back to normal teeth?

---

I have a malocclusion class 1 and I'm 14 years old (but my birthday is coming up soon). But that's not the point.

I was wondering if at this age, is there a possibility that malocclusion class 1 teeth can go back to normal on it's own eventually as I age.
Or if that isn't likely possible, can I get braces and wear retainers to fix it?

What are some things that might help in preventing from making a malocclusion class 1 worse?

Thanks.
Are you sure it's class 1? Class 1 occlusion is normal (at least the classes in the UK).

It's highly unlikely any occlusal problems you have will fix them selves on their own but if you go ahead with the braces it's only a couple of years invested in a lifetime of good oral health.  (+ info)

What kind of surgery should I undergo if I have a class 3 malocclusion without an under bite?

---

My first molars fit the definition of a class 3 malocclusion; that is, my lower first molars bite in front of my upper first molars. However, I don't have an under bite and in fact have a buck teeth appearance because of slight overcrowding and rotation of my two front upper teeth. I have a slightly gummy smile and have a longer lower third of the face in relation to the middle third. I dislike the appearance of my entire mouth area which protrudes beyond my forehead from the side. An orthodontist I consulted asserted that the risks of jaw surgery exceed the aesthetic benefits I can get since I don't have a functional problem with my jaw. She also maintained that being an East Asian, it is natural to have a more prominent mouth area from the side.

What is TPB, Cervical HG and Class II mechanics? What about bands on maxillary first mollars for expanded/?

---

I just got braces last week and now I get a letter of orthodontic consultation telling me that I need that. I guess I should consult my ortho but I am just asking
TPB- Translingual Palatal Bar-The lower lingual holding arch appliance will hold the permanent molars in place while baby teeth are falling out and permanent teeth are erupting.Two bands (braces) are cemented to two lower molars. Attached to the bands is a U-shaped bar.

Cervical Headgear- used to help growth of the maxilla, usually worn for 8-10 hours a day.

Class II mechanics- means that you have an overbite or class 2 occlusion, the mechanics involved will vary by the orthodontist but usually mean the usual brackets and wires with use of rubber bands to help move the teeth into better alignment. (Class one occlusion is normal)

The last thing you mention is band on maxillary molars for expander? This is yet another appliance that uses bands cemented on the molars of the upper teeth and has bar that goes across the top of the mouth. There will be a device in the middle that you will insert a key to turn it. This sounds horrible but it isn't. You usually turn it a half turn a day or so and this helps expand the upper arch out.
It sounds like you have a lot going on! But you will be very happy with the results of treatment!
By the way, you may want to ask your orthodontist about the Herbst appliance and see if this is an option for you or not, as it may be able to replace a couple of the appliances listed above, depends on your case.  (+ info)

Should I take a modeling or Geometry class?

---

I am trying to decide on which class to take, but I just can't. I want to take modeling because it is a passion I've always had. However, I also want to take Geometry at this place, but I won't get any credit.

Geometry will really help me on the CAHSEE and PSAT. This year I am taking Algebra II instead, and will wait on Geometry until next summer at a community college. As a sophmore, I will take both the CAHSEE and PSAT this year, and I don't know Geometry yet.

So, should I take modeling or Geometry??

I love modeling so much!

Here's what the Geometry course offers: A brief introduction to geometry, covering area, volume, triangles, circles, angles, parallel lines and regular polygons.

Does that sound like I'll learn a lot?? Should I just wait for next summer at a community college??
Honestly, I think you should take the geometry class. I've taken the PSAT, SAT, and ACT and there's geometry on all of those tests. You will learn alot in geometry and it's a really fun class (it's not like algebra).  (+ info)

Is there a generic for the hypertensive drugs , angiotension II receptor antagonist?

---

I take Avapro but it is expensive, there is no generic out yet. My doctor says there is a generic in that same class of drugs coming out this year. Does anyone know about it?
I cannot use the ones ending in "pril" as they make me cough uncontrollably. Will look up both those thanks.
There are generic names for them but no actual generic drugs yet. My doctor told me the same thing, to start looking for one of those in that class to go generic soon.  (+ info)

An alleged diabetic is allowed to eat snickers and other foods in my high school class?

---

I thought that being a diabetic (whether type I or II) meant being hyperglycemic because of a lack or misuse of insulin. If he is already hyperglycemic wouldn't eating a candy bar make things worse. Unless, there is such thing as being hypoglycemic with diabetes.
Being diabetic means that your body either does not produce insulin anymore (Type 1) or does not produce enough insulin (Type 2) to cover the amount of glucose produced. If the student is diabetic, his blood sugar may fluctuate between being high and low depending on stress, lack of food, exercise (and a bunch of other things). If a diabetic is having a "low" or hypoglycemic episode, where their blood sugar falls under 80, they need fast acting sugar to bring their blood sugar up quickly. If untreated, they could have seizures, go into a coma, or die. Diabetics also need to eat at regular intervals in order to keep their blood glucose levels in an optimal range. The student HAS to have special arrangements made, such as eating or drinking water in order to be able to function. I am sure that he is NOT an "alleged diabetic". The best thing that you could do, instead of being jealous or annoyed, would be to research this disease and the symptoms of hyper and hypoglycemic episodes, and possibly HELP this student. He doesn't eat candy and stuff for the heck of it...he NEEDS to do it sometimes to save his life. Having understanding friends makes all the difference in the life of someone living with this disease, which unfortunately has NO cure yet. Good luck to you and I hope you will be able to be a support to your fellow classmate.  (+ info)

class II (MO 16) preparation techniques?

---

I am currently a dental student and looking for advice on preparing a conservative class II (MO 16) cavity.

At the moment I am still only practicing on plastic Frazaco models in the phantom heads. I have an assessment coming up and I seem to be struggling achieve the following requirements expected:
1.extend the proximal box until it JUST barely clears the contact point with 15,
2. do not make ANY mark on the 15 (whether it be with a bur or hand instrument such as a GMT)

My main issue seems to be I can't seem to avoid hitting the 15 without making the proximal box too big mesio-distally (it is expected that it should only be the width of our smallest amalgam plugger). I am also currently placing a folded matrix band between the 15 and 16 to avoid hitting the 15 but this makes it hard gain good access of the box as I'm preparing it.

Any tips/personal techniques/ advice on how others out there would go about this preparation would be greatly appreciated.
ANTHONY when ever you start your proximal box,dont start it from the contact area b/w 6 and 5.instead start to make the box in the 6 inside the contact area so that there is tooth structure b/w bur and 5.slowly cut away the tooth structure of 6 moving your bur mesially till only a paper thin structure of 6 is left.you can later break this with enamel hatchet or GMT.this way you will never touch 5.
hope you will understand this method.  (+ info)

In the U.S. may a physician prescribe/use an unapproved Class II medical device?

---

By analogy, I understand physicians may prescribe drugs designed for one purpose, for another. How does it work with medical devices?

Thanks.
