"Applying logical reasoning is the best way to find the solution
to any problem" ..... Dr. Maria Csillag
There will be queries in your mind as to why the body is
imbalanced. Smylist provides very clearcut answers to these
queries. The imbalance process starts with the asymmetrical
functioning of the muscles of the body, including the muscles of the
mandible leading to an improper positionring of the mandible. The
upper teeth do not guide the mandibile to its desirable position
which creates the muscle asymmetry. Smylist® thus provides the
methods to improve the muscle asymmetry and the mandibular
position.
An incorrect mandibular position can not only cause a lot of damage
and wear and tear to the teeth but could also lead to a number of
systemic problems. Smylist® has two approaches to resolve any of
these issues. The objective of these solutions is to bring the
mandible into its ideal deriable position and relax all the involved
muscles. This can be done on a transient basis or permanent basis.
The transient correction is achieved with a removable device called
the "Positioner" which has to be only worn in the night during
sleeping. The permanent approach is to build up the maxillary and
mandibular teeth so that the mandible is guided to the correct place
by the restored teeth. This process is referred to as a "Full Mouth
Rehabilitation (FMR)".
Your Smylist® dentist will give you the option of getting a positioner
fabricated as well as the FMR. The positioner given to you will have
to be worn only during the night while sleeping. When you wear the
positioner, the muscles of the lower jaw get relaxed. This has a
positive influence throughout the following day. It is generally
advised to wear the positioners for a minimum of two weeks to
benefit from the muscle relaxation and to get the body balanced.
The positioner is only an interim device and not a permanent
solution for the body imbalance.
The permanent treatment is to do a FMR in which all the existing
teeth will be built up to ensure that the maxillary teeth guide the
mandible into a proper position so that the balance is restored. This
is a more elaborate treatment and will take a few visits to the
dentist. This is also a more definitIve treatment.
Improving the body balance will also enhance the longevity of your
teeth tremendously by reducing the stress and asymmetrical loads
on the dentition. It will also control the damage and wear & tear to
the teeth. Not just your teeth but also any work done in your mouth
like implants, fillings, crowns, veneers etc. Smylist® firmly believes
that teeth should last a lifetime.
