Does your wife or partner complain, every morning, about your teeth grinding or teeth clenching keeping her awake?

Strokes - could you save a life?
You may have received this already but it can’t do any harm to know
Stroke has a new indicator
They say if you e-mail this to ten people, you stand a chance of saving one life. Will you send this along?
Blood Clots/Stroke - They Now Have a Fourth Indicator, the Tongue
I will continue to forward this every time it comes around!
STROKE: Remember the 1st Three Letters..... S. T. R.
STROKE IDENTIFICATION:
During a BBQ, a woman stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) ...she said she had just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes.
They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food. While she appeared a bit shaken up, Jane went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening.
Jane's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00 pm Jane passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Jane would be with us today. Some don't die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead.
It only takes a minute to read this.
A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.
RECOGNIZING A STROKE
Thank God for the sense to remember the '3' steps, STR. Read and Learn!
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.
Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:
S *Ask the individual to SMILE.T *Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (i.e. It is sunny out today.)R *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.
If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency number immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.
New Sign of a Stroke -------- Stick out Your Tongue
NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out his tongue. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke.
A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved.
I have done my part. Will you?

New ways to change your smile with Orthodontics
Naturally, gently and conservatively.

The steps to a beautiful new smile with invisible braces
Step 1: Visit Your Dentist
During this first step you will need to make an appointment with an invisible braces Dentist.
During the initial visit, your dentist will help you decide on your course of treatment. He will take bite impressions of your teeth and send them, along with a set of precise instructions, to invisible braces.
Step 2: invisible braces Makes Your Aligners
invisible braces uses advance technology to transform your bite impressions into a custom-made series of clear and removable aligners. There may be as many as 48 in the series or as few as 12, depending on your individual treatment plan.
Step 3: You Receive Your Aligners in a Few Weeks
During your next visit to your dentist, you will receive your first set of aligners. Your dentist will most likely give you a few additional sets for you to wear before you return for your next visit.
Step 4: You Wear Your Aligners
You'll wear each set of aligners day and night for about 2 weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. Total treatment time averages 9-15 months, but will vary from case to case. You'll visit your dentist only about every 6 weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned.
Step 5: You've Finished The Treatment
Congratulations! When you're finished wearing each aligner in the series, your treatment will be complete and you will have the beautiful smile you've always wanted.
What are the primary benefits of invisible braces?
Invisible braces are clear, this means you can straighten your teeth without anyone knowing, great if you have a job that involves being in front of people a lot.
invisible braces are removable. Unlike braces, you can eat and drink what you want during treatment, so long as you remove your aligners during meals and whole drinking fizzy drinks. You can also brush and floss normally to maintain good oral hygiene.
invisible braces are comfortable. There are no metal brackets or wires as with braces to cause mouth irritation, and no metal or wires means you spend less time in the dentist’s chair getting adjustments.
When it comes to considering your options for a smile makeover, it's easy to see invisible braces advantages which provide another reason to smile. Compare invisible braces to other teeth straightening options below.
Questions that you should ask before having treatment
While invisible braces can be used with virtually any treatment philosophy, specific training is needed. All orthodontists and dentists interested in treating patients with invisible braces must attend training before cases will be accepted from their premises.
So here are a few questions to ask your dentists before having invisible braces:
Will it hurt?
No. The way invisible braces works is to introduce constant but steady pressure on your teeth. This results in you only feeling light pressure on the teeth. You would not experience any pain, discomfort or sensitivity from the procedure.
Do they need needles?
Absolutely not. No drilling or injections are required for this procedure. This is one of the most conservative pain free procedure you could ever undertake at the dentist
