For someone considering wisdom tooth extraction, braces and gum contouring, in what order should I get the treatments?
In preparation for orthodontics, some orthodontists may advise the removal of impacted wisdom teeth to reduce the risk of relapse. However, this is not always necessary and the decision has to be made by the orthodontist in consultation with the patient. Gum contouring is a separate issue to orthodontics and there are many ways that this can be done. Do note that the gums can relapse after contouring if nothing is placed to maintain the gum margins.
When is surgery required for temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ)?
Please don't consider surgery for TMJ issues! TMJ disorders are a misnomer. The condition is a result of high-stress levels and our normal reflex response to this stress. TMJ issues are, therefore, a result of hyperfunction. The joints and muscles are just symptoms. We recommend stress management and conservative prevention therapy to manage the symptoms.
