Hi! I'm loving the designs for your FMA cowboy AU, especially Al's! I was wondering, would he have any sort of speech impediment from his lower jaw being metal? It sounds like he still has his teeth, palettes, and tongue, but what about sounds that need both lips, like M, B, and P? Just curious if he'd struggle with those. Love your art!

thank you sm!! :") al's design has been both really fun to parse out and also a nightmare. thank u for this question this is getting me to tackle the things i hadn't particularly thought out

heads up! intense injury cw!

initially what i had for Al was that it was just his jaw was replaced with some scarring along the right side of his head and neck. my initial drawings actually didn't incorporate any neck connection but the most recent times ive drawn it it's extended to the neck bc tbh that makes more sense to me, idk what i was thinking originally. theres no additional support for the automail jaw. what was i THINKING.

so a little more than half of al's jaw is actually missing. he's got automail for the right side of his jaw, a replacement for the TMJ and some jaw muscles, as well as extending a bit further down his neck for muscles that impact movement. the jaw that we actually see (that's similar to the armor in fma) is a cover for wiring protection, and it extends over to the other side of his face both for balance and for aesthetic purposes

al retains his upper lip and at least a portion of his lower lip. he's missing up to his lateral incisor on the right side of his lower jaw, and he still has his tongue. his jaw's range of motion isn't super extensive, and is also constrained due to scarring on his face

i think al would have similar issues that come with TMJ irritation/TMD. some ppl with tmd mention sounding like they're slurring or mumbling, as well as speaking slower to articulate better.

since he's still got a portion of his lower lip, he'd be able to make p, b, m, v, f sounds, but they're a little more whistle-y. same with s and z

his normal speaking voice would be pretty soft, hoarse, and a little wheezy. people mistake him for mumbling a lot. he tries to move his jaw as infrequently as possible, so it often sounds like he's speaking with his teeth together

thats about all of my thoughts so far!! feel free to send in any thoughts/corrections!!! :")

#tune in as ash learns robotics to figure out if their au design would work #now i just have to. tackle. everything else about...... al's design mechanisms............................. #also to other ppl who have sent in questions about other aspects of the au: i see u. i see u #fma au #alphonse elric #wastelands au

[maelstromofthemind]

I know this doesn't go along with my usual aesthetic, but I wanted to post a bit about my personal life.

After 2 weeks of absolute agony and multiple doctors telling me I had an ear infection, and then treatments for ear infections not working, I finally found out what has been causing me my excruciating pain. I have TMJ disorder.

It is so painful for me to chew, brush my teeth, talk, and this has also caused my earlobes to swell, which is the greatest source of my pain.

I am on unpaid leave from work. There is no date to when I should be feeling better, if I actually do get better. I am so afraid I am going to lose my job and become homeless.

My stomach has begun hurting from the painkillers I have been told to take, so I can no longer take any pain medication to manage my suffering. If I do my organs will fail and I will start bleeding internally.

All of this started just a few days after I had begun to truly feel less depressed and hopeful that my life would be okay.

Unveiling the Power of Mewing: Sculpt Your Way to Facial Harmony and Health

Introduction:

In a world obsessed with quick fixes and cosmetic enhancements, one ancient technique is gaining traction for its transformative effects on both appearance and well-being. Enter Mewing – a practice rooted in proper tongue posture and nasal breathing that promises to not only redefine your facial aesthetics but also improve your overall health. Join us as we explore the fascinating world of Mewing and discover how this simple yet powerful technique can revolutionize your life.

Understanding Mewing:

At its core, Mewing revolves around the concept of maintaining correct oral posture, specifically by resting the tongue against the roof of the mouth with the lips closed and breathing through the nose. Developed by Dr. John Mew, a British orthodontist, Mewing aims to encourage proper craniofacial development, leading to a more balanced facial structure and enhanced oral health. While initially popularized as a method for achieving a chiseled jawline and defined cheekbones, Mewing has since garnered attention for its broader health benefits.

The Aesthetic Appeal:

For many, the allure of Mewing lies in its potential to sculpt facial features naturally, without the need for invasive procedures or cosmetic interventions. By maintaining proper tongue posture, individuals may notice improvements in jawline definition, cheekbone prominence, and overall facial symmetry over time. Additionally, adopting a Mewing regimen can contribute to better facial muscle tone and alignment, resulting in a more harmonious appearance that exudes confidence and vitality.

Beyond Beauty: The Health Benefits of Mewing:

While the aesthetic benefits of Mewing are undeniable, its impact extends far beyond mere appearances. Proper tongue posture and nasal breathing are essential components of optimal oral and overall health. Here are some of the health benefits associated with incorporating Mewing into your daily routine:

Improved Breathing: Nasal breathing, a cornerstone of the Mewing technique, promotes better oxygen exchange and respiratory function, reducing the risk of conditions such as snoring, sleep apnea, and asthma.

Enhanced Posture: By aligning the tongue and jaw properly, Mewing encourages better head and neck posture, alleviating strain on the cervical spine and reducing the likelihood of tension headaches and neck pain.

Dental Health: Maintaining the tongue in the correct position against the palate can aid in proper dental alignment, potentially reducing the need for orthodontic intervention and mitigating issues such as malocclusion and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction.

Incorporating Mewing into Your Lifestyle:

Embracing the Mewing technique is a journey that requires dedication and consistency. Start by practicing proper tongue posture throughout the day, particularly during moments of rest and relaxation. Focus on breathing deeply through your nose, allowing the diaphragm to fully engage and promoting relaxation and mindfulness. Over time, these simple habits will become second nature, leading to lasting improvements in both appearance and well-being.

Conclusion:

In a world inundated with quick fixes and temporary solutions, Mewing stands out as a natural, holistic approach to facial aesthetics and health. By embracing proper tongue posture and nasal breathing, individuals can unlock their full potential, both in terms of appearance and overall well-being. So, dare to embark on this transformative journey, and discover the beauty and vitality that lie within. With Mewing, the power to sculpt your destiny is within reach – one breath, one posture, at a time. If you want to more articles or blogs on these type of topics so

Restoring Smiles: Exploring Dental Crowns & Bridges

Restoring Smiles: Exploring Dental Crowns & Bridges

Dental crowns and bridges are essential dental prosthetic devices used to restore damaged or missing teeth, thereby improving both oral function and aesthetics. They play a vital role in preserving the structure of the mouth, restoring smiles, and enhancing the overall quality of life for individuals with dental issues. In this comprehensive exploration, we'll delve into the intricacies of dental crowns and bridges, their applications, benefits, and why they are integral components of modern dentistry.

Dental Crowns:

A dental crown, also known as a cap, is a prosthetic device designed to cover a damaged, decayed, or aesthetically compromised tooth. It is custom-made to fit over the entire visible portion of the tooth, effectively restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are typically fabricated from durable materials such as porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination of these materials, ensuring longevity and natural-looking results.

Crowns serve multiple purposes in restorative dentistry:

Protection and Strengthening: Crowns provide protection and reinforcement for weak, cracked, or severely decayed teeth, preventing further damage and potential tooth loss. By encapsulating the tooth, crowns restore its structural integrity, enabling it to withstand the forces of biting and chewing.

Restoration of Function: Teeth that have undergone extensive decay or damage may exhibit compromised function, leading to difficulties in chewing and speaking. Dental crowns restore the functionality of such teeth, enabling individuals to bite, chew, and speak with ease and confidence.

Improvement of Aesthetics: In addition to their functional benefits, dental crowns also enhance the aesthetic appearance of teeth. They can effectively conceal discoloration, stains, misshapenness, or gaps, restoring a natural, uniform smile that boosts confidence and self-esteem.

Support for Dental Restorations: Crowns serve as essential components in various dental restorations, including dental implants and dental bridges. They are used to anchor dental bridges in place or to cover and protect dental implants, ensuring stability and longevity of the restoration.

Dental Bridges:

Dental bridges are prosthetic devices used to replace one or more missing teeth by bridging the gap between adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. They consist of one or more artificial teeth, known as pontics, anchored to neighboring teeth or implants using dental crowns or metal frameworks. Like crowns, bridges are custom-made to match the color, shape, and size of natural teeth, providing seamless integration and a natural-looking smile.

Key benefits of dental bridges include:

Restoration of Oral Function: Dental bridges restore the ability to chew and bite properly, improving overall oral function and dietary choices. By filling in the gaps left by missing teeth, bridges help maintain proper alignment and distribution of bite forces, preventing issues such as shifting of teeth and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.

Prevention of Dental Complications: Untreated tooth loss can lead to various dental complications, including misalignment of adjacent teeth, bone resorption, and increased risk of gum disease. Dental bridges address these issues by replacing missing teeth and maintaining the integrity of the dental arch, thereby preventing further dental problems and preserving oral health.

Enhancement of Aesthetics: Beyond their functional benefits, dental bridges also improve the aesthetic appearance of the smile. By filling in gaps and restoring symmetry, bridges help achieve a natural, harmonious smile that enhances facial aesthetics and boosts self-confidence.

Preservation of Facial Structure: Tooth loss can result in the collapse of facial muscles and changes in facial structure, leading to a prematurely aged appearance. Dental bridges help preserve facial structure by maintaining proper tooth alignment and providing support to surrounding tissues, preventing sagging and wrinkles.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, dental crowns and bridges are indispensable tools in modern dentistry, offering effective solutions for restoring damaged or missing teeth and enhancing oral health and aesthetics. Dental crowns protect and strengthen weakened teeth, restore functionality, and improve smile aesthetics, while dental bridges replace missing teeth, restore oral function, and prevent dental complications. Together, these restorative treatments contribute to the preservation of oral health, facial aesthetics, and overall well-being, enabling individuals to enjoy a healthy, confident smile for years to come.

Straight Talk: Invisalign Dentist Services in Riverpark Unveiled

Riverpark has recently embraced a transformative approach to orthodontic care with the increasing popularity and advancements in invisalign dentist Riverpark treatment. This innovative alternative to traditional braces has revolutionized the way individuals achieve straighter smiles, offering a discreet, comfortable, and effective solution for correcting dental misalignments. Let's delve into the details of Invisalign, its benefits, the treatment process, and its impact on enhancing one's smile and overall oral health.

Understanding Invisalign Treatment

Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that utilizes a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth and correct various dental misalignments. These custom-made aligners are designed using advanced 3D imaging technology to ensure a precise and comfortable fit. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, making them a popular choice among individuals seeking a more discreet and aesthetically pleasing orthodontic solution.

The Process of Invisalign Treatment

The journey to achieving a straighter smile with Invisalign typically begins with a consultation with a dentist or orthodontist experienced in providing Invisalign services. During this initial visit, the dentist will evaluate the patient's oral health, discuss their orthodontic concerns and smile goals, and determine if Invisalign is the right treatment option for them.

Once the decision is made to proceed with Invisalign, the dentist will take digital impressions or molds of the patient's teeth. These impressions are then used to create a customized treatment plan, including the design of a series of clear aligners tailored to the unique specifications of the patient's teeth.

The patient will receive a set of aligners, each to be worn for about two weeks, gradually moving the teeth into their desired positions. Regular check-ups with the dentist are scheduled approximately every 6-8 weeks to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments to the treatment plan.

Benefits of Invisalign Treatment

Invisalign offers a multitude of benefits that have contributed to its growing popularity among individuals seeking orthodontic treatment:

Discreet Appearance: Invisalign aligners are made from clear, transparent material, making them virtually invisible when worn, allowing individuals to straighten their teeth discreetly without drawing attention to their orthodontic treatment.

Comfortable Fit: Invisalign aligners are custom-made to fit snugly over the teeth, minimizing discomfort and irritation often associated with traditional braces.

Removable Design: The ability to remove Invisalign aligners allows for easy cleaning of both the aligners and teeth, as well as the flexibility to enjoy favorite foods and maintain regular oral hygiene routines throughout the treatment process.

Predictable Results: Advanced 3D imaging technology used in Invisalign treatment allows for precise planning and predictable outcomes, ensuring efficient and effective teeth straightening.

Improved Oral Health: Straighter teeth are easier to clean and maintain, reducing the risk of dental issues such as tooth decay, gum disease, and uneven wear of tooth enamel.

Impact on Smile and Overall Oral Health

Achieving a straighter smile with Invisalign can have a profound impact on an individual's smile and overall oral health, influencing various aspects of their life:

Enhanced Confidence: A straighter, more aligned smile can significantly boost self-confidence, making individuals feel more attractive and comfortable showcasing their smile.

Improved Oral Function: Properly aligned teeth contribute to better bite function and jaw alignment, improving chewing efficiency and reducing the risk of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.

Easier Oral Hygiene: Straighter teeth are easier to brush and floss effectively, leading to improved oral hygiene and reduced risk of dental issues such as cavities and gum disease.

Long-Term Dental Health: Investing in Invisalign treatment can lead to long-term dental health benefits, as straighter teeth are less susceptible to dental problems and may require less extensive dental treatment in the future.

Conclusion

The transformative approach to orthodontic care in Riverpark, driven by the increasing popularity and advancements in Invisalign treatment, signifies a revolutionary phase in modern dentistry. Invisalign offers a discreet, comfortable, and effective alternative to traditional braces, allowing individuals to achieve straighter smiles and improved oral health without compromising their appearance or lifestyle.

From the initial consultation to the final result, Invisalign treatment is tailored to meet the unique needs and preferences of each individual, providing a personalized and patient-centered orthodontic solution. With its multitude of benefits, including a discreet appearance, comfortable fit, and predictable results, Invisalign has become a preferred choice for individuals seeking to enhance their smile and overall well-being through orthodontic treatment.

By embracing the transformative power of Invisalign, individuals in Riverpark and beyond are investing in their smile, oral health, and quality of life, reaping the lifelong benefits of a straighter, healthier, and more confident smile that radiates beauty and self-assurance in every aspect of their life.

Growing Smiles: The Importance of Orthodontics for Children

Introduction

A confident smile is a valuable asset that can boost a child's self-esteem and overall well-being. However, many children experience orthodontic issues such as misaligned teeth, overcrowding, or malocclusion, which can affect their smile's appearance and functionality. Orthodontic treatment plays a crucial role in addressing these issues early on, promoting proper dental development and laying the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles. This guide explores the importance of orthodontics for children, highlighting its benefits, treatment options, and the impact it can have on their oral health and quality of life.

Understanding Orthodontics for Children

Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry focused on diagnosing, preventing, and treating dental and facial irregularities, particularly those related to misaligned teeth and jaws. In children, orthodontic treatment aims to guide the growth and development of the teeth and jaws, correct bite issues, and create a harmonious and functional occlusion.

Orthodontic issues in children may arise due to various factors, including genetics, thumb sucking, tongue thrusting, early loss of primary teeth, or poor oral habits. Common orthodontic problems in children include:

Malocclusion: Misalignment of the upper and lower teeth, leading to an improper bite relationship.

Crowding: Insufficient space in the dental arch for the proper alignment of teeth, resulting in overlapping or crooked teeth.

Spacing: Gaps or spaces between teeth due to missing teeth or irregular tooth size.

Protrusion: Forward projection of the upper front teeth, often referred to as "buck teeth."

Crossbite: Misalignment of the upper and lower teeth when the jaw is closed, causing the upper teeth to sit inside the lower teeth.

Overbite: Excessive vertical overlap of the upper front teeth over the lower front teeth.

Underbite: When the lower teeth protrude past the upper teeth when the jaw is closed.

Early intervention with orthodontic treatment can help address these issues and prevent them from worsening as the child grows.

Importance of Orthodontics for Children

Orthodontic treatment for children offers numerous benefits beyond just cosmetic improvement. Some of the key reasons why orthodontics is important for children include:

Facilitates Proper Dental Development: Orthodontic treatment helps guide the growth and development of the teeth and jaws, ensuring proper alignment and positioning for optimal oral function and aesthetics.

Prevents Future Dental Issues: Addressing orthodontic problems early can prevent more serious dental issues from developing later in life, such as tooth decay, gum disease, jaw pain, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.

Improves Bite Function: Correcting bite issues, such as malocclusion or misalignment, helps improve bite function, reducing the risk of uneven wear on teeth, jaw misalignment, and difficulty chewing or speaking.

Enhances Facial Aesthetics: Orthodontic treatment can improve facial aesthetics by aligning the teeth and jaws, creating a harmonious and balanced facial profile that enhances the child's appearance and self-confidence.

Boosts Self-Esteem: A straight, healthy smile can boost a child's self-esteem and confidence, leading to improved social interactions, academic performance, and overall well-being.

Promotes Proper Oral Hygiene: Straight teeth are easier to clean and maintain, reducing the risk of plaque buildup, tooth decay, and gum disease. Orthodontic treatment can encourage better oral hygiene habits and promote long-term dental health.

Prepares for Future Dental Work: Orthodontic treatment creates a stable foundation for future dental work, such as restorations, implants, or cosmetic enhancements, ensuring optimal outcomes and long-term success.

Treatment Options in Orthodontics for Children

Orthodontic treatment for children may involve various treatment options depending on the nature and severity of the orthodontic issues. Some common orthodontic treatments for children include:

Traditional Braces: Metal braces consist of brackets, wires, and bands that apply gentle pressure to gradually move the teeth into their proper positions. Traditional braces are highly effective for correcting a wide range of orthodontic issues and are suitable for children of all ages.

Ceramic Braces: Ceramic braces are similar to traditional metal braces but use tooth-colored or clear brackets and wires for a more discreet appearance. Ceramic braces are popular among older children and teenagers who desire a less noticeable orthodontic treatment option.

Invisalign® for Teens: Invisalign® is a clear aligner system that offers a more discreet and comfortable alternative to traditional braces. Invisalign® for teens is specifically designed to address the unique orthodontic needs of teenagers, providing a convenient and virtually invisible treatment option.

Functional Appliances: Functional appliances, such as palate expanders or Herbst appliances, are used to correct jaw discrepancies and bite problems in children with growing jaws. These appliances help guide jaw growth and development, ensuring proper alignment and function.

Space Maintainers: Space maintainers are custom-made devices used to preserve space in the dental arch for permanent teeth when primary teeth are lost prematurely. Space maintainers prevent adjacent teeth from shifting out of position and help maintain proper alignment as the child's permanent teeth erupt.

The specific treatment plan for each child will be determined based on their unique orthodontic needs, age, dental development, and treatment goals.

Conclusion

In conclusion, orthodontics plays a crucial role in promoting the healthy growth and development of children's smiles. By addressing orthodontic issues early on, orthodontic treatment can prevent future dental problems, improve oral function and aesthetics, boost self-esteem, and promote long-term dental health. Parents should prioritize regular dental check-ups for their children and consult with a qualified orthodontist if orthodontic issues are present. With the help of modern orthodontic techniques and treatment options, children can achieve straight, healthy smiles that lay the foundation for a lifetime of confidence and happiness.
