Braces Affect Bone Structure, Health and Beauty | How I Found Orthotropics

Face & Hair, Wellbeing / By

Braces affect bone structure, health and beauty. I discovered this the hard way. My daughter was 7 when her dentist said that she was missing 3 adult permanent teeth. Two were on the bottom jaw, one on the left side and one on the right. One was missing on the top jaw on the right side.

As it turns out, she inherited her missing teeth from me. I didn’t have wisdom teeth – and in high school thought I’d hit the jackpot (especially when watching my classmates in horrible pain from having their wisdom teeth extracted).

When Eye Creams Are Necessary + the Best Way to Use Them!

There Are Two Schools of Thought on Eye Creams.

Fans of eye creams love them because they stay on the skin around the eyes. Most facial expressions cause the skin around the eyes to move. And when you consider that our eyes blink about 21,000 times a day, a cream that stays put is quite a feat!

Critics of eye creams say they aren’t necessary. They feel this way because many moisturizers and eye creams have essentially the same ingredients.

What’s the Difference Between Hypo and Hyperpigmentation?

Medical terminology is hard. You know why? Because most of it comes from the Latin and Greek. And just for fun, they threw in some French and Italian!

I guess what I’m trying to say is that people in healthcare usually take medical terminology classes at the beginning of their coursework. So to be able to explain to you well, I need to start with some definitions. Sorry!

Tattoo Safety | 13 Ways to Stay Healthy When You Get a Tattoo

Tattoos can be really beautiful. But they should be safe – and they shouldn’t affect your health!

There are lots of things that I love about tattoos. I love it when they’re beautiful, like the one in the picture on the left. And I love that they’re being used to camouflage mastectomy and c-section scars. They can disguise areas of discoloration and stretch marks. And microblading makes people VERY happy.

A LOT of women have kids. And I think it’s fair to say that most think pregnancy and childbirth were hard on their body. Childbirth causes all sorts of problems for women. So do weight changes and hormone changes from menopause. All these changes can cause stress incontinence, vaginal atrophy (muscle weakening), vaginal dryness, painful sex, decreased libido, and decreased sensitivity. And in turn, some women develop low self esteem and a loss of libido / sex drive. It’s a vicious cycle.

And yet, (most days) our kids are worth it!

In an article on KSAT.com, a lady named Jasmine talks about her upcoming tattoo removal with a PicoSure laser. It’s probably the best laser out there for tattoo removal because of how the laser works.

“When a laser energy is delivered in a trillionth of a second, you’re actually getting a pressure wave that disrupts the ink particles as opposed to heat damage to the ink particles, so you get less damage to the surrounding skin,” explains Dr. Dennis Dass, a Los Angeles-based plastic surgeon.

I often think that my patients would LOVE ME SO MUCH MORE if I could get them to use retinoids. I sound like a broken record – telling anyone willing to listen that a retinoid will make their skin BETTER. In so many ways!

The problem is people just don’t like using these forms of vitamin A. The side effects (redness, irritation, and peeling during the first 4 weeks of use) are too unpleasant. They usually disappear with continued use, but lots of people get frustrated and quit.
