Invisible Braces, Braces For Adults By: It’s not just teenagers who wear braces on their t
It’s not just teenagers who wear braces on their teeth. Many people decide later in life that they need do something about crooked or misaligned teeth. The problem is, career or personal reasons may mean that following your teenage children down the ‘tin grin’ route is not something you want to do. That’s why invisible braces are becoming so popular. They’re a new system for straightening crooked teeth and closing unsightly gaps between teeth – something that would traditionally have been done with metal braces. Using computer technology and three dimensional modelling your dentist can create a series of see-through aligners for your teeth – often referred to by patients as ‘invisible braces.’
The aligners are specially made to fit your teeth exactly, and over time they’ll move your teeth to give you a natural-looking, straight smile.
Patients report that the new invisible braces have three advantages compared to traditional metal braces: they’re more comfortable; they’re more convenient (you remove the invisible braces when you eat or when you brush your teeth) and they’re more discreet.
As with metal braces, the length of time that you’ll need to wear invisible braces for varies with the amount of corrective work that needs doing, but typically, treatment will take from six months to a year. When you see your dentist for the initial consultation he’ll be able to give you a good idea of how long you’ll need to wear the invisible braces.
There will be the occasional case where a patient has severely deformed teeth and traditional metal braces have to be used rather than invisible braces. But for the majority of adults looking to improve their smile – and their self-confidence – invisible braces represent a real effective breakthrough. And a chance to be one up on your teenage children! For more info visit: http://www.thehospitalgroup.org/invisible-braces.php(read entire article)(posted on: 2011-01-06)

Follicular Hair Transplantation: How It Works By: Follicular hair transplantation is the very latest
Follicular hair transplantation is the very latest state of the art technique for restoring lost hair, and has become the ‘gold standard’ in hair treatments when it comes to success rates, reliability, denser hair growth, and natural-looking results.
The idea behind follicular hair transplantation is simple, but what many people don’t know is that hair grows in small clusters of up to 4 or 5 hairs from one single skin pore, rather than growing individually and close together.
Therefore, this technique involves removing entire follicular units from healthy areas of hair growth around the body and transplanting them to areas where new hair is required. A highly skilled surgeon uses precise surgical tools and the latest microscope technology to remove a number of follicular units at once using a procedure called a ‘single strip harvest’ before individually taking each unit and grafting it back onto the skin in a natural looking pattern. Alternatively, the surgeon might use a follicular hair extraction technique to remove follicular units directly and individually which is faster and less invasive.
Either method of transplanting follicular hair units results in little or no trauma to the skin and also prevents pitting, indentation, and scarring. The patient is generally able to leave the surgery the same day without bandages. New hair can be carefully washed after three days, and full recovery generally happens after around a week.
While the risks and disadvantages of follicular hair transplantation are minimal, it does require a lot of time and a team of skilled people to carry out. However the technique is advancing quickly, and the results increasingly resemble naturally grown hair and are virtually undetectable to the casual observer.
There are a number of techniques available to help diminish hair loss, it is therefore advised to seek advice from your GP or local hair loss clinic. For more info visit: http://www.thehospitalgroup.org/follicular-hair-transplantation.php(read entire article)(posted on: 2011-01-06)

Women’s Hair Loss: Some Facts And Myths By: Hair loss is more often associated with men, but w
Hair loss is more often associated with men, but women’s hair loss is becoming more and more common, and the effects can be extremely distressing and ultimately lead to a loss of confidence and even depression.
Women’s hair loss is generally triggered by the body’s reaction to intense stress on the body, which can be caused by crash diets, illness, hormonal fluctuations due to childbirth, contraceptive pills or menopause, general life stresses, or even as a side reaction to other medication. Unlike hair loss in men, women’s hair loss generally affects the whole head with a general thinning of the hair, although some patients can experience patchy loss.
Mild hair loss on a daily basis is perfectly normal, and some experts suggest that losing around 100 hairs a day is fine but any more than 125 a day could mean that new hair growth might not keep up. It’s also true that women can inherit hair loss genetically, and that the genes can actually be passed down from either the mother’s or the father’s side of the family.
Everyone has heard the myths about women’s hair loss, too, and they shouldn’t be believed. For example, women don’t need to brush their hair with 100 strokes a day to improve its appearance, hair colouring won’t make women lose hair unless it actually burns the scalp, and there is no evidence that nutritional supplements for hair growth actually work!
What’s more, it’s not true that women’s hair only starts to thin after menopause as age and loss are not proportional at all. And finally, it’s also not true that dandruff causes hair loss as it’s simply an increased turnover of skin cells and doesn’t affect hair growth - it’s the scratching that can damage hair follicles!
