MN Orthodontist Stresses Importance of Early Orthodontic Treatment

December 19, 2008- ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA – It saddens MN Orthodontist Dr. Jennifer Eisenhuth to see a patient for the first time as a teenager and determine that they are on a surgical path that could have been prevented by early orthodontic treatment.

Advancements in orthodontics have made it possible to correct many problems early on, often eliminating the need for surgery in some cases and reducing future orthodontic treatment time in others.

By age 7, most children have a mixture of baby and adult teeth. At that time, several common orthodontic problems can be detected, according to the American Association of Orthodontics. (http://www.braces.org/beautifulsmile/children/) For that reason, the AAO recommends that children visit an orthodontist for an initial examination by age 7.

“When parents wait until all of their child’s permanent teeth are in, facial growth for that child often is nearing completion,” Eisenhuth said. “When that happens, correcting some malocclusions can be difficult without extractions or orthognathic surgery."

One early intervention product Eisenhuth uses in her practice to prevent permanent tooth extraction in patients when they’re older is the Carriere Distilizer, manufactured by Class One Orthodontics.

This device corrects overjet, which is when the patient’s bite is a full tooth ahead.

“This is a great device to start addressing this issue before putting braces on the patient,” Eisenhuth said. “This is about a four-month process that can decrease the time the patient is in braces and can completely take them out of the extraction category.”

If a patient is past his or her growth spurt, there’s not a lot an orthodontist can do to correct the situation. That is why interceptive treatment is so beneficial. In extreme cases, it can actually prevent surgery.

The priority, provided it doesn’t negatively impact the profile of the patient, is to preserve and maintain all of the permanent teeth, Eisenhuth.

Minneapolis Braces Expert Attends Orthodontic Professional Development Event

December 17, 2008- ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA – MN orthodontist expert Dr. Jennifer Eisenhuth recently attended an American Association of Orthodontics professional development event in New York City.

The mid-November event’s topic was “Orthodontist as CEO” and although geared primarily toward honing administration techniques, the event also provided time for sharing information on the latest orthodontic treatment techniques.

Eisenhuth attends several professional development events annually.

“We are committed and dedicated to excellence in orthodontic care,” she said. “This is just one of many events we attend throughout the year in our ongoing effort to remain leaders in the field and to provide the best treatment and overall experience for our patients.”

A portion of the event featured a panel discussion in which the benefits of advanced procedures were discussed.

“There was a great deal of discussion on what’s new in orthodontics and what’s working well across the nation,” Eisenhuth said. “We like to stay on top of modern technology and continuing advancements in orthodontics that will make the procedures more comfortable and more efficient.”

Many advancements not only reduce treatment time, but also decrease the number of office visits required of patients, which makes the orthodontic process more convenient for patients, she said.

Approximately 400 orthodontists from among the top practices in the nation attended the event.

St. Paul Orthodontist Uses New Anchoring System To Prevent Surgery

November 20, 2008- ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA – St. Paul Invisalign Specialist Dr. Jennifer Eisenhuth is using an anchoring system on patients that prevents the need for surgery in many cases.

Temporary anchoring devices include a complete line of miniscrews, attachments and instruments designed to make temporary anchorage easy, intuitive and effective.

Also known as microimplant screws, Eisenhuth has included them in orthodontic treatment since 2006. These tiny devices provide more strength and stability than many traditional anchoring methods, according to the Ormco Web site (http://ormco.com/index/ormco-products-vector) . Ormco manufactures one type of microimplants.

Microimplants are a relatively new technique, but orthodontists appear to be increasingly willing to use them in their practices because of the excellent results they are achieving, Eisenhuth said.

“These devices allow an orthodontist to get more angles and forces to help move the teeth to treat a wide variety of problems,” Eisenhuth said. “It also can reduce or eliminate the need for a patient to wear head gear in many cases, and it shortens treatment time.”

The microimplants are most useful at providing an orthodontist with an anchor- and the ability to move teeth in one direction without counter-movement, she said.

In the past, orthodontists relied heavily on the molars to serve as anchors when attempting to shift the teeth into proper alignment, Eisenhuth said. This was used especially in cases where the orthodontist needed to pull in a patient’s front teeth that were severely protruded.

Today, Eisenhuth can place microimplants on each side of the jaw in the back and attach elastics to the teeth she wants to move back, she said.

Microimplants are very small- roughly no wider than half the width of a person’s thumbnail and about as big around as the head of a pin.

Placing small screws into the jaw may sound painful, but it can be done relatively painlessly by an oral surgeon or by using the MadaJet Needle-free anesthetic. MadaJet is a virtually pain-free anesthetic device.

The microimplant screw is removed when orthodontic treatment is completed. It takes less than a minute to remove it and causes no pain, Eisenhuth said.

Minneapolis Orthodontics Practice Ships Halloween Candy To U.S. Troops

November 14, 2008- ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA – On Tuesday,

MN Orthodontist Dr. Jennifer Eisenhuth shipped 850 pounds of candy to U.S. troops serving in Iraq.

This is the fourth year Eisenhuth has sponsored a candy buy-back program in which patients were asked to turn in candy that might harm their braces and exchange it for tokens they could redeem for other prizes.

Eisenhuth shipped toothpaste, toothbrushes and dental floss along with the candy to four units serving in Iraq.

In addition to her patients, the community got involved after learning about Eisenhuth’s buy-back program through media coverage she received in local newspapers and on Fox 9 News.

Many donors turned down the tokens they were offered, saying they simply wanted to donate to a good cause, Eisenhuth said.

“Our patients broke the record this year,” she said. Last year, the practice collected more than 600 pounds of candy.

Eisenhuth was surprised to learn that many of the soldiers who received the candy and oral hygiene items last year gave them away to Iraqi children.

“It was so rewarding to learn that we gave our military personnel these items to cheer them up and they shared them with Iraqi children to help establish good will,” she said.

Minneapolis Orthodontist Offers Halloween Candy Buy-Back Program

October 10, 2008- ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA – Halloween can be a tough time for MN Orthodontist Dr. Jennifer Eisenhuth.

Kids go trick-or treating and come home with loads of chewy, sticky candies. Days later, they come in for check-ups with bent wires or broken appliances caused by eating those candies.

Four years ago, Eisenhuth decided to strike a deal with her young patients- exchange those candies that wreak havoc on braces for other treats instead. She created a candy buy-back program in which patients received tokens for every pound of candy they turned in. The tokens then could be cashed in for other treats, such as gift cards to Target and other stores, iPods and Webkins.

The candy buy-back program quickly became an overwhelming success, Eisenhuth said, partly because the patients knew that all of the relinquished candy would be shipped- along with toothbrushes- to U.S. soldiers serving in Iraq.

Eisenhuth and her staff first decided to send the donated candy to soldiers because one of her employees who served in the National Guard at the time had been deployed to Iraq. It is a tradition that continued after she returned, due to the patients’ enthusiasm for the program and the gratitude expressed by the soldiers who received the treats.

“We have thank-you notes on display in the office from the soldiers who received the candy last year,” Eisenhuth said. “One of them mentioned that they handed out the candy and toothbrushes to local children in Iraq, who were very appreciative of friendly American soldiers.”

Last year, patients turned in more than 600 pounds of candy. Eisenhuth is hopeful the program will be as successful this year.

“Our patients have been incredibly generous in donating their candy,” she said. “They are happy to give away some of it to bring a little bit of America to our troops abroad.”

The goal was to get patients to donate caramels, taffy and other candies that could damage braces, but Eisenhuth has found that many patients even donate the candy that isn’t off-limits to braces wearers.

“I think that speaks volumes about the generosity of these young patients,” she said.

Reasons To Say No To Some Candies
Besides the fact that the donated candy goes to a good cause, there are important orthodontic reasons to avoid sticky, chewy candies, Eisenhuth said.

“We know time is valuable and we want to minimize the number of visits our patients and parents have to make to our office,” she said. “We also want to do everything we can to make sure our patients finish their treatment on time.”

When patients eat sticky or chewy candies that damage or break their appliances, it can throw the treatment schedule off.

If a bracket gets loose, the tooth it was attached to tends to relapse by gently sliding back into its original position.

“A lot of times, kids don’t tell their parents they popped a bracket because they don’t want to get in trouble,” Eisenhuth said. “When we catch the problem three or four weeks later and relapse has occurred, now we need a longer appointment because we have to do some repair and overall treatment time is extended because we have to play catch-up with the relapsed tooth.”

While many dentists advise patients to steer away from sweets altogether for oral health reasons, it’s no secret that people still are going to indulge occasionally.

“Just be smart about it,” Eisenhuth said. “Brush your teeth after eating sweets.”

Dentist Who Specializes In Orthodontics in Minneapolis Discusses Importance of Early Evaluation

Thursday, September 18, 2008 - ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA – Many parents believe today that braces for their children must wait until all of the child’s adult teeth have erupted.

The truth is that some dental issues are more easily corrected when children are younger, said Orthodontist Dr. Jennifer Eisenhuth. Eisenhuth discusses the importance of early intervention on her Web site: www.doctorjennifer.com.

“Addressing problems early has the potential to lessen the amount of time children spend in orthodontic treatment later,” Eisenhuth said.

Sometimes braces are needed due to genetic reasons. Many orthodontic problems such as jaw and tooth size, overbites, under bites, extra or missing teeth and jaw discrepancies may lead to teeth spacing and crowding issues down the road. These are inherited problems that can’t be prevented, she said. Other times, orthodontic problems are caused by accidents or dental disease.

Orthodontic issues also can be the result of children’s poor mouth habits. Thumb sucking, using a pacifier, breathing through the mouth and tongue thrusting all are problems that can be corrected through early childhood orthodontic intervention.

Thumb-Sucking
Sucking the thumb, fingers or a pacifier beyond age four or five can result in deformation of localized teeth and supporting bone. This is because by age four or five, a child’s permanent are preparing to erupt.

Prolonged thumb-sucking also can cause the upper teeth to stick out as they erupt. It can make the lower teeth become crooked and can create a narrow upper palate.

Mouth Breathing
It may sound strange, but children who breathe excessively through their mouths can cause serious problems in their cranio-facial development that could lead to the need for jaw surgery if left untreated for a long time. Mouth breathing also can lead to serious malocclusions.

“There is a direct relationship between the degree of mouth breathing and the severity of malocclusion in many patients,” Eisenhuth said. “Additionally, there are multiple other health issues associated with incorrect breathing.”

Getting orthodontic treatment while children still are young has made correcting these issues easier and has eliminated the need for surgery in many cases, she said.

Tongue Thrusting

When a child pushes her tongue against the back of the teeth during swallowing and creates abnormal swallowing patterns, this is referred to as tongue thrusting. It also involves the improper resting of the tongue. These bad habits can force teeth out of alignment, Eisenhuth said.

Minneapolis Orthodontist Gears Up For National Orthodontic Health Month

Monday, Sept. 8, 2008- ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA – Minneapolis Orthodontist Dr. Jennifer Eisenhuth will use National Orthodontic Health Month to kick-off her goal of speaking to 5,000 elementary and middle school students this school year about oral hygiene.

National Orthodontic Health Month is observed every October.

Eisenhuth and her staff bring toothbrushes, toothpaste and floss to the students and share information on how to brush and floss properly, among other oral hygiene topics.

“Our biggest push is to educate the students, especially at this age, because if these topics aren’t revisited regularly,” Eisenhuth said, “it’s difficult for students to stay up to speed on how best to care for their teeth to ensure they keep them for a lifetime.”

The most popular element of the presentation tends to be when the students are shown what soft drinks and energy drinks do to teeth over time.

Teeth are left to soak for about three weeks in various drinks, including Coca Cola, Mountain Dew and Gatorade, and the students get to see what that does to the teeth. They see how the root changes color- even turning black in some cases- and the enamel begins to fall off.

“They think it’s disgusting,” Eisenhuth said. “It’s awe-inspiring, in the sense that it gets their attention.”

Also in October, Eisenhuth will provide information to parents on the importance of taking their children to an orthodontist at age 7. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have a consultation with an orthodontist this early because some problems can be corrected more easily when caught early.

In extreme cases, older children who visit the orthodontist for the first time can be on a surgery path, whereas had they received treatment earlier, serious malocclusion issues could have been corrected with expanders or head gear to prevent surgery or permanent tooth extractions.

Minneapolis Orthodontist Offers Next Generation of Lingual Braces

August 19, 2008- ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA – There is a new generation of lingual braces that boasts a sleeker, customized design and may shave months off of total treatment time.

iBraces are lingual braces- those affixed behind the teeth instead of to the visible surfaces- that are uniquely designed for each individual patient “to hug the lingual surfaces of your teeth for optimal comfort, fit and performance,” according to Lingualcare, a 3M Unitek company that manufactures the braces (http://www.lingualcare.com/patient/about.php).

Minneapolis orthodontist Dr. Jennifer Eisenhuth trained directly with Dr. Dirk Wiechmann, the German orthodontist who invented iBraces. Now she is the first in the Twin Cities area to offer iBraces to patients.

The Process
Getting these technological marvels begins with an orthodontic consultation to determine whether the patient is a good candidate.

Once the determination has been made, the process begins with the orthodontist taking an impression of the patient’s teeth. That impression is taken to a computer, where it is scanned and developed into a 3-D model of the teeth.

From that model, a Lingualcare lab technician creates the customized brackets- along with archwires bent by a robot specifically for that patient- and sends the appliances back to the orthodontist. The archwires are heavier than an orthodontist can effectively bend manually. Using the robot to bend the wires mechanically is another reason the overall treatment tends to be quicker, Eisenhuth said.

Benefits
“The iBraces system allows us to straighten teeth without people seeing the appliances,” she said. “There are other systems out there that achieve similar results, and I use those systems on the right candidates, but certain corrections and results can’t always be achieved without the use of brackets and archwires.”

iBraces can be a good choice for adult professionals, adults and teens who participate in contact sports, people who want to avoid damaging the front surfaces of their teeth, musicians who play wind instruments and those who are self-conscious about wearing braces that others can see.

Minneapolis Orthodontics Practice Introduces iBraces To Twin Cities

August 15, 2008- ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA – Dr. Jennifer Eisenhuth’s Minneapolis orthodontics practice has become the first in the Twin Cities to offer iBraces.

Lingualcare, a 3M Unitek company, recently invited Eisenhuth and several other orthodontists from throughout the nation to train directly with Dr. Dirk Wiechmann, the German orthodontist who invented iBraces.

iBraces are lingual braces- those affixed behind the teeth instead of to the visible surfaces- that are uniquely designed for each individual patient “to hug the lingual surfaces of your teeth for optimal comfort, fit and performance,” according to the Lingualcare Web site (http://www.lingualcare.com/patient/about.php) .

The low-profile appearance of iBraces makes them less likely to affect speech than traditional lingual braces.

“This is a great product and I’m proud to be among the first orthodontists to offer it to my patients,” Eisenhuth said.

Lingual braces are particularly popular with people who are interested in the aesthetic aspects of orthodontics, she said. iBraces are an effective way to undergo orthodontic treatment without it appearing noticeable to everyone.
