🌟 Discover the Frankel Regulator Appliance 🌟 The Frankel regulator appliance, named after Dr. Rolf Frankel who developed it in the 1960s, revolutionized early orthodontic treatment for growing children. Dr. Frankel's innovative approach aimed to correct jaw discrepancies and promote proper facial development during crucial growth stages. Here's why the Frankel regulator stands out: 1️⃣ Pioneering Design: Dr. Frankel's appliance was one of the first to address jaw misalignment in children proactively, setting a new standard in orthodontic care. 2️⃣ Growth Guidance: By harnessing natural growth spurts, the Frankel regulator helps guide the jaws into harmonious alignment, preventing more severe orthodontic issues later in life. 3️⃣ Patient-Centric: Its customizable design allows orthodontists to tailor treatment, ensuring optimal comfort and effectiveness for each child. 4️⃣ Holistic Benefits: Beyond aligning the jaws, the Frankel regulator promotes healthy breathing, chewing, and speech patterns, enhancing overall oral function.

Tongue thrust can be multifactorial. Common factors of a tongue thrust would include incorrect swallowing pattern, tongue-tie, allergies, swollen tonsils, high narrow palate, or long term habit sucking. Is it possible to correct a tongue thrust? Myofunctional therapists will retrain the tongue's behavior through exercises and conscious observation which can alleviate tongue thrust. Both children and adults can exhibit tongue thrust signs and symptoms. Concerned about teeth shifting after braces due to the pressure of the tongue on the teeth? Children will not "outgrow" a tongue thrust, but must learn new techniques to retrain their tongue so pressure is not applied to the teeth, causing them to shift. #tonguethrust #tonguetie #tongue #myofunctionaltherapy #allergies #teeth #highnarrowpalate #thumbsucking #familyhistory #swallowpattern #toothalignment #orthodontics #orthodontichistory #restingmouthposition #swallowinghabits

Ancient Braces? Some of the very first bracers were crude designs found on mummies in ancient Egypt. The first braces were made of cord from animal skin and attached to teeth the same way a modern dentist would attach wire braces. Thankfully this cord is no longer used, as it was commonly referred to as "cat gut" for reasons we don't want to know! #orthodontichistory #orthofacts #interestingorthodontics #accentorthodontics
Did you know? Evidence has been found that people have been modifying their teeth for over 3,000 years!

Today marks the 90th anniversary of the passing of Edward Angle, the father of modern orthodontics! Let’s just say he has got some pretty BIG achievements under his belt including: -Coining the term ‘malocclusion’ -Introducing expander appliances into the world of orthodontics -Starting the worlds first school of orthodontics, the Angle School of Orthodontia The first 11 graduates from his school decided to organise a society called The Society of Orthodontists which would later be renamed to what we all know it as today, the American Association of Orthodontics! The worlds oldest and largest dental speciality organisation, which our very own Dr Shimanto is a proud member of. Without Edward Angle, orthodontics wouldn’t be the specialised field that it is today! #norwestortho #norwest #history #edwardangle #orthodontichistory #anniversary #confidentsmiles #historyofbraces #orthodontia #confidence #braces #orthodontist #orthodontics #perfectsmile #norwestorthodontics #bellavista #rousehill #castlehill #baulkhamhills
From Cleopatra to you... Even though there's evidence of orthodontics from Ancient Egyptian times, orthodontics was not recognised as an independent field until 1901 in America! It was based on some landmark work that took place in the 1800s where dentists began honing the art using techniques and equipment that are familiar today. This included a wire crib, elastic, and mild pressure at timed intervals to gently shift the teeth into their ideal position. Over a century later, ortho technology has come a long way, but the overall concept of gently moving teeth into their best position has stayed the same! #norwestortho #norwest #confidence #braces #orthodontics #treatment #history #orthodontichistory #confidentsmile #invisalign #dentalapplications #damonbraces #bellavista #rousehill #castlehill #baulkhamhills #clearbraces #treatmentoptions #norwestorthodontics

Did you know Orthodontics became the first dental specialty in 1900?? 🤯⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Edward H. Angle founded the specialty. He was the first orthodontist: the first member of the dental profession to limit his practice to Orthodontics only - moving teeth and aligning jaws. Angle established what is now the American Association of Orthodontists, which admits only Orthodontists as members. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Moving teeth has been around for 119 years!!! That is crazy when you sit down and think about it and not to mention it was the first dental specialty 😉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Call us today for your complimentary consultation and check out what it takes to straighten your smile 😃 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📱 813-920-1935⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #facts #orthodontichistory #learnsomethingnew #femaleorthodontistofwestchase #westchaseortho #localorthodontist #momstouch #smilemore #invisalign #braces #adult #child #orthodonticsforthefamily #familyorthodontist

I had lots of fun going back in time today at Kalamunda historical village. My orthodontic treatment would have been very different back in the late 1800s early 1900s. While historians have reported use of orthodontic appliances as early as 300BC, it was not until 18th & 19th centuries that orthodontics really began to develop. By the early 20th century I could have been treated with “braces”. In those days metal (commonly 14-18K good) was wrapped around the teeth to move them! It was not until about 1950s that steel became the preferred material to use. In the 1970s an adhesive was found that could bond to metal to the teeth- leading to what we typically think of as braces. New materials continued to come about improving braces and the orthodontic treatment options. In 1997 Invisalign was born. Bringing with it a whole new way of treating orthodontic patients. Orthodontist were used to pulling the teeth to get the desired outcome with braces. However, Invisalign uses a pushing force. It has taken time for this new way of working to be honed to where it is today! Specialist (aligner) orthodontists are able to achieve amazing and precise movements in shorter times than previously achievable. I must say I am so glad I had the option of Invisalign over other ortho treatment types!
