Frequently Asked Questions
The duration of Invisalign treatment varies depending on the complexity of the case and the specific alignment issues being addressed. Generally, treatment can last between 6 to 18 months. Dr. Hania customizes each treatment plan to meet the individual needs of her patients, ensuring optimal results with regular monitoring and adjustments.
Sleep apnea is commonly characterized by symptoms such as loud snoring, abrupt awakenings accompanied by shortness of breath, waking up with a dry mouth or sore throat, morning headaches, excessive daytime sleepiness, and attention problems. If you or someone you know exhibits these symptoms, it is important to seek professional medical evaluation. Dr. Hania can provide a comprehensive assessment and discuss potential treatment options, including custom-fit oral appliances that help maintain open airways during sleep.
Healthy Start treatment is designed to address orthodontic issues early, and it is most effective when started at a young age. The ideal time to begin treatment is between ages 3 to 6, as this is when the jaw is still developing and can be easily guided towards optimal growth. However, children up to age 12 can also benefit from the treatment, which focuses on promoting natural jaw development and proper tooth alignment.
The Wand (STA) can be used for almost every patient; its use is determined based on individual needs and preferences. Unlike traditional syringe-based methods, The Wand delivers anesthesia in a computer-controlled, slow and steady manner, which can significantly reduce discomfort and anxiety. This method allows for a more precise anesthesia delivery, which enhances the overall patient experience by minimizing the sensation of numbness and discomfort typically associated with dental procedures.
Cosmetic bonding typically lasts between 3 to 10 years, depending on the location of the bonded teeth and the patient's oral habits. Factors such as biting on hard objects, chewing habits, and overall dental hygiene can affect the longevity of the bonding. To maximize the lifespan of cosmetic bonding, Dr. Hania recommends maintaining good oral hygiene practices, attending regular dental check-ups and a preventitive night guard.
