It has been proved that smiling releases serotonin, a neurotransmitter that results in the production of feelings of joy and wellbeing. A smile’s health benefits include acting like a mini workout that results in burning of calories; aids blood flow; decreases blood sugar levels, improves sleep and acts as a stress buster. The level of antibodies rises which in turn helps boost your immune system. In addition to the health benefits, this attribute of a smile can have a marked..., excellent and positive, effect on all other aspects of your life. Smile more! It's free after all. #smileisatherapy #smileoften #yoursmileisyourlegacy #smilemakers #smile #legacyorthodonticsintustin #legacyorthodontics #bestorthodontist #irvineorthodontists #california #californiadentist #californiaorthodontics #tustinca #irvineca #irvinecalifornia #tustincalifornia

A lot happens in your mouth when you’re sleeping and that’s why the proper amount of sleep each night plays a great role in protecting your oral health. Lack of sleep may have the following effects: 1. Sleep deprivation has been found to cause or worsen gum disease. This is linked to the fact that the body tends to produce more inflammatory hormones when a person doesn’t get enough sleep. Causing inflammation in your gums will lead to gingivitis and periodontitis. 2. Grinding... of teeth due to stress, depression or anxiety. In general, lack of sleep affects your oral health as well as your physical and mental health. Seek appropriate medical advice if you suffer from sleeping problems. Take care and protect yourself. Get enough sleep. #sleepwell #oralhealth #yoursmileisyourlegacy #smilemakers #smile #legacyorthodonticsintustin #legacyorthodontics #bestorthodontist #irvineorthodontists #california #californiadentist #californiaorthodontics

Regardless of age, braces can be worn by almost anybody as long as they already have their full set of permanent teeth. However, conditions like poor oral hygiene and gum disease can be aggravated by braces, so braces are not recommended for patients with these conditions until they have been properly treated. Our dental team, Dr. Chen and Dr. Pham who has been practicing orthodontics for almost 20 years ensure that every patient's orthodontic treatment is held to the highes...t standards of modern care. Meet with our doctors today! #braces #smile #beautifulsmile #legacyorthodonticsintustin #legacyorthodontics #bestorthodontist #irvineorthodontists #california #californiadentist #californiaorthodontics

Yes! Chewing ice is bad for your teeth because it can damage your tooth enamel or the protective layer that shields your teeth from decay. Tooth enamel is the first line of defense against cavities and helps protect teeth from sugar and acid attacks. If the tooth enamel is damaged, it can leave a tooth more vulnerable to acid attacks and tooth decay.... Your entire oral hygiene, including gums, would then be susceptible and even prone to more bacterial infections and diseases. You could actually fracture your tooth, damage the restoration work, like fillings or braces as well. You may want to find another way to replace the sensation of chewing ice, or only chew softer, crushed ice if you can't break the habit altogether. #chewingice #badhabit #toothenamel #toothdecay #smile #beautifulsmile #legacyorthodonticsintustin #legacyorthodontics #bestorthodontist #irvineorthodontists #california #californiadentist #californiaorthodontics

True! Only if one diligently wears their retainers and retain good oral hygiene. How long retainers have to be worn depends on individual circumstances, usually at least full-time for a year. Otherwise, teeth can still shift back into their original positions if they're not well-maintained. Patients should also maintain good oral hygiene and keep regular appointments with their dentists to monitor for gum disease or emerging wisdom teeth that might cause new teeth movement....

An underbite is a term for a dental condition characterized by lower teeth that extend outward farther than the upper front teeth. This condition is also called a Class III malocclusion or prognathism. Some cases of underbite can be severe, causing the lower teeth to extend far forward. Other cases are milder and nearly unnoticeable. How do Underbites occur?...

Traditional metal braces are comprised of 3 main parts: wires, brackets and elastics. Ever wondered how the metal used in wires don’t react or rust despite being exposed to moisture? These metal wirings and brackets are made from titanium alloy, and part of it includes nickel titanium, an alloy that that was developed by NASA for their space program. When used in orthodontic treatments, these wires can retain their shape after being attached to the teeth just by body heat alone. #funfact #didyouknow #NASA #braces #beautifulsmile #yoursmileisyourlegacy #smilemakers #smile #legacyorthodonticsintustin #legacyorthodontics #bestorthodontist #irvineorthodontists #california #californiadentist #californiaorthodontics
