Ultrasound Technology Helps Clean and Whiten Teeth With Braces

Although braces are essential to correcting a variety of dental issues, cleaning braces with a standard toothbrush is as difficult as trying to floss with a jumprope.

The interweaving of wires and brackets traps all kinds of bacteria and food particles that cause plaque buildup and present the risk of tooth decay. Bacteria are usually the source of most dental problems—gingivitis, periodontitis, tooth loss, bad breath, you name it.

Unless teeth are kept scrupulously clean, cavities may emerge that wreak havoc on enamel, often leading to discoloration and stains.

“The accumulation of plaque puts wearers at risk for gum disease, tooth decay and discoloration,” explained Dr. Mike C. Zauner, “which is why we dentists tend to be super strict on our patients about carefully cleaning around braces.”

But even if you’re diligent about flossing, brushing and rinsing with mouthwash, most toothbrushes are poorly equipped to clean around braces.

“The lack of options does make it a challenge for those with braces to maintain good oral hygiene. It’s frustrating, and sometimes it’s a real nightmare. But there’s actually a new ultrasound toothbrush especially designed for braces. It’s the world’s first toothbrush with technology specialized for braces, truly unique,” Zauner added.

It’s unique, in fact, it’s almost revolutionary. The Emmi-dent Ultrasonic Toothbrush with an Ortho Brush uses ultrasound technology to destroy bacteria and clean the enamel covered by metal or wire. The “no brush” brush is actually motionless—it cleans and whitens using millions of oscillations (ultrasonic waves) without brushing or friction because of the specially designed brush-head.

The unique technology has already made the ultrasonic toothbrush a hit among orthodontists and other dental professionals. With this added defense against cavities and discoloration, you can protect your investment by saving on extra trips to the dentist.

The Journal of Clinical Orthodontics states the cost of an adult set of braces in the U.S. is $4,800, on average. Not many people can afford to fix additional oral care expenses on top of that.

Surprisingly, Older Americans Are Coping Best During the Pandemic

( NewsUSA ) – Older Americans have actually been coping far better than younger ones during the coronavirus pandemic, according to new research.The Edward Jones and Age Wave Study goes where few have ventured before in focusing exclusively on how different generations have held up emotionally and financially in the months since all the lockdowns began. And some of its findings are at least as startling as how quickly even 70-year-olds came to love Zoom."COVID-19’s impact forever changed the reality of many Americans, yet we’ve observed a resilience among U.S. retirees in contrast to younger generations," said Ken Dychtwald, Ph.D., the founder and CEO of Age Wave, a leading research think tank on aging, retirement and longevity issues.While acknowledging upfront that the virus itself disproportionally struck aging adults, the five-generational sampling of 9,000 people age 18 and over revealed more than a few surprises. Among them:* While 37 percent of Gen Zers, 27 percent o...

Audiobook Service Helps Blind Vets Recover Independence

In December 1967, a young soldier lay in a hospital bed after sustaining severe eye injuries from a land mine in Vietnam. Tom Miller, now executive director of the Blinded Veterans Association (BVA) in Washington, D.C., was blind, and his mind raced over all of the things he’d never be able to enjoy again. “I’ve spent the past 44-plus years erasing that list, or finding new things I can do.” Miller says he owes many thanks to the talking-book program of the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (NLS), part of the Library of Congress. “The program is a godsend,” he says. Veterans—and any U.S. resident or citizen living abroad—are eligible to become NLS readers if they are blind, have low vision or have an illness or disability that prevents them from handling a book or printed material. According to a 2011 report by the National Alliance for Eye and Vision Research, 16 percent of the wounded soldiers evacuated from Iraq and Afghanistan battle zones have suf...

Take Time for A Moment That Matters: Tire Safety

Have working batteries in your smoke alarms? Done. Has your oil been freshly changed in your car? Done. Is there a new water filter for your refrigerator? Done. But when it comes to regularly checking your tires? Like most people, there may be some room for improvement. As fall travel and winter weather loom, taking a moment to check your car tires can make a difference in keeping you safe on the road. This year, Cooper Tires is encouraging drivers to mark Labor Day weekend on their calendar (and the first of every month) as a tire check safety moment, to make a habit of checking tires, especially as seasons change. “Just as we regularly take a moment to check our smoke detector batteries when we change our clocks in the fall and spring, we need to designate a moment to check tire safety as well,” says Jessica Egerton, Director of Brand Development at Cooper Tire & Rubber Company. Ensuring the overall condition of your tires is easy and important for your safety on the r...
