Few Reasons Why the Pinhole Surgery Works Great
  • It is a minimally invasive treatment option. You
    can certainly find out treatment options but they
    usually require invasive surgery. The best thing
    about the pinhole surgery is that it does not
    require any sutures, grafts, or incisions. The
    procedure involves making a small hole in your
    gum with the help of a fine needle. That pinhole
    is then used to gain access to the gumline, which
    is then expanded to cover your exposed root
    structure.
  • It does not cause any pain. While it usually
    depends on your pain threshold, most people will
    experience little or no pain during the
    procedure. The procedure is virtually painless
    because it does not require invasive surgery.
    Moreover, the fact that no incisions are
    performed is another reason why you are not going
    to find this procedure painful. The healing time
    is quite short too mainly because there is no
    swelling on the affected area.

  • It provides you with immediate cosmetic benefits.
    As mentioned already, you can find other
    treatment options to deal with gum recession, but
    the pinhole surgery is a better alternative
    because it offers the most impressive aesthetic
    results. Your dental surgeon will be making a
    very small hole to perform the surgery, which is
    the procedure helps restore your gum line in a
    natural way. The absence of bleeding or swelling
    is another reason why you can expect impressive
    cosmetic benefits from this surgical procedure.
  • It helps treat several teeth simultaneously. It
    is certainly one of many impressive benefits of
    undergoing a pinhole surgical procedure. Where
    other gum recession procedures treat one area of
    your mouth first, the pinhole surgery can target
    different areas of your mouth at the same time.
    You do not need to visit your dentist's office
    repeatedly to complete the procedure. You can
    return home after the procedure with no need to
    schedule repeat appointments.

Important Things to Understand about the Pinhole
Surgery
  • The surgical procedure produces great results and
    in a short time too. The procedure will is more
    effective than many other techniques used for gum
    recession, but of course, the outcome usually
    depends on the nature and severity of the
    underlying problem. The pinhole surgery has a
    great success rate and the procedure will last
    for several years. You just need to pay attention
    to oral hygiene and avoid over-brushing to make
    your treatment last longer.
  • The benefits of the PST are many, but you need to
    keep in mind that it is not going to cure your
    gum disease. It is a restorative procedure that
    is supposed to help restore your gum line to its
    original form. Therefore, it is important to have
    your gum disease treated before going for the
    surgery.

Important Things to Understand about the Pinhole
Surgery
  • The procedure does not require any incisions,
    which is why you will not experience much pain
    during the procedure. Since there will be no
    incisions, you do not have to worry about any
    swelling. It is due to these factors that this
    minimally invasive surgery is the prime choice
    for most people with gum recession.
  • The pinhole surgery is much better than the
    standard gum grafting procedure for the reasons
    covered in the last point. During the standard
    procedure, your dental surgeon will take out a
    graft of the gum and then attach it to where it
    is needed. It means that after the procedure, you
    will be left with two surgical wounds. These
    wounds will take time to heal and you will have
    to follow a set routine and take special care to
    ensure proper healing.

Few Tips to Make Your Invisalign Treatment Work
for You
  • Be sure to floss regularly. Many people forget
    about flossing their teeth, while others do not
    floss as often as they should be. After your
    treatment, you should floss daily. It is
    important because the aligners can get dirty by
    holding any gunk that may be left after brushing.
    Therefore, you should not overlook the
    importance of flossing daily when you have
    undergone the Invisalign treatment.
  • Be sure to wear the tray for as much as you can.
    Even your dentist would recommend wearing it most
    of the time for at least the first couple of days
    of getting your aligner tray. In fact, it is a
    good idea to remove it only when you want to
    brush your teeth. Stick to this routine for the
    first 48 hours and you will get the best results
    from your Invisalign treatment.
  • Continue wearing them often after the first 48
    hours. Ideally, you should wear the tray more
    often, but you should at least be wearing it for
    22 hours daily to make your treatment work.

Few Tips to Make Your Invisalign Treatment Work
for You
  • Be sure to change your aligners in a timely
    manner. You need to talk to your dentist and
    learn when to have your aligners changed. Your
    dentist is in the best position to tell you to
    continue using the aligner for a few more days.
    When they say you can remove it, only then should
    you be using a different tray.
  • Be ready to feel a bit weird during the first few
    days of the treatment. You will have to learn how
    to wear the aligners properly because failing to
    use it correctly would affect the final outcome.
    Understand that the aligner is going to feel
    weird for some time because it will push against
    your teeth. Keep wearing it and you will
    eventually get used to it.

Things You Should Know about Invisalign Treatment
  • It may take some time to learn how to talk
    properly. After putting in your first aligner, it
    is natural to feel weird. It will push against
    your teeth and make it difficult for you to talk
    in the beginning. Some people may even talk with
    a lisp. You may feel tempted to take out the
    tray, but that is not going to make things
    easier. In fact, you will never learn to talk
    properly with your aligners if you keep removing
    them all the time. A better option would be to
    let them sit in your mouth and learn to talk
    properly.
  • Others are not going to notice your aligners.
    Many people are under the impression that
    aligners are like braces and others will be able
    to see it. The truth is that others will not
    notice you wearing your aligners, which is
    actually one of many reasons why people are now
    turning to this procedure. While the aligners
    are not completely invisible, they are much
    better than metal braces.
  • Make use of different Invisalign attachments to
    help speed up recovery. In order to get good
    results, you should not shy away from taking
    advantage of different Invisalign attachments.
    These attachments are designed to keep a tray
    from moving. You may find them weird, but they
    certainly help speed up treatment. Learn to use
    these attachments properly and you will have
    straighter teeth fast.

10
Things You Should Know about Invisalign Treatment
  • Keeping your aligners clean is important. When
    you opt for aligners, you need to ensure that
    they work great but require some care as well.
    You should clean your Invisalign trays often
    using some antibacterial soap and water. You can
    also find some specially designed cleaning
    products to clean Invisalign trays. Never try to
    use toothpaste or something else to clean your
    trays or else you might end up scratching the
    plastic.
  • Pay attention to oral hygiene. It is important to
    brush regularly, but you have to be even more
    careful when wearing aligners. If you do not
    brush your teeth and floss regularly, you will
    develop several dental problems. Those Invisalign
    trays can hold bacteria and plaque against your
    teeth, which is why you need to have a strict
    brushing and flossing routine.
