The Braces are a device, which is used to shape the improper positioned teeth. The braces are stated by the name called orthodontics; it helps level the improper placed teeth and mends its position. You might have seen most of the people hold improper positioned teeth, as like the upper jaw moves outside and sometimes the lower jaw peep outside. In short, orthodontics braces help mend the cross bites, under bites, open bites, overbites, deep bites and several other dental regarding issues. Braces can be seen in cosmetic form or structural form. Braces are a form of structural treatments, which gives bit pressure over the teeth and helps bring it at a right position. This treatment not only mends the position of the teeth, but it also improves the look of your smile. Most of the people hold good teeth, but some dental defects spoil its look.

We know that holding braces on the teeth looks very embarrassing, especially while smiling or speaking. This embarrassment makes the people less talkative and smiley. Hence, treating it in early age would be good, to enjoy teenage life. This stood one type of dental disorder, which can get mend easily after structural treatments. A small metal wire is placed over the teeth, to mend improperly positioned teeth. In certain situation, one needs to be extra careful; since, the procedure may take years and years, to get treated. The longevity of the structural placement lasts for 2 to 3 years. Well, there are many types of braces, which a person can use, to treat their improper dental placements.
Metallic braces-economical price and can be observed easily.

Ceramic braces –this brace is found quite expensive and less visible comparing with metallic braces. Lingual braces-same looks like metallic braces, but are placed inside the teeth, which are invisible at all, but are found difficult to clean. It is an expensive treatment, comparing with metallic and ceramic braces.

Invisalign- it is finished up of hard plastic, which can be placed and can be removed easily. One can remove it on every two weeks for cleaning purpose and can be placed again. This is only for adults and teenagers, not for children. One needs to take an extreme care of this brace; avoid consuming any hard stuff. This brace is invisible and found difficult to notice.
However, after the placement of braces one needs to take extra care of their teeth; since, it becomes difficult to clean the stuff stuck, in the teeth. Avoid consuming such stuff, which gets attached or trapped over the metal wire and teeth. People, undergoing an orthodontic treatment need to follow certain procedures, to keep their teeth and braces clean.

• Brush your teeth
In orthodontics treatments, one needs to maintain a regular brushing of the teeth. After, every meal tries to clean your teeth and braces, regularly; this will help prevent from gum bleeding, teeth bleeding and yellowness. Generally, when you eat anything it gets stuck in the brace whose ignorance may lead, to stinking teeth. So, do make this habit to clean your teeth by the help of brush, to remove the trapped stuff out form the brace. Furthermore, it depends on which type of orthodontics brace you have been treated through. If, you have gone through lingual braces, then you have to keep cleaning your teeth very keenly; since, the stuff gets stuck very easily and becomes difficult, to take out.

• Eat healthy and non-sticky food
Try eating non-sticky food in orthodontics treatments; since, the chances of paleness, gum bleeding, jaw pain, cavity formation are found more in certain condition. So, to get prevented from certain dental disorders try consuming non-sticky foods; an oily food and the stuff loaded with cheese are considered a sticky food. The consumption of certain food gets stuck in the teeth very deeply and slowly leads, to cavity formation. So, this makes difficult to remove the stuff in orthodontics treatments.

• Drink plenty of water
Drinking plenty full of water stood one of the easiest and best ways, to maintain proper dental health. As you consume anything it gets stuck over the teeth, when you will drink water it will get eliminated and washes away, easily. People, who go under orthodontics (braces placements), should avoid continues eating; eat once, but sufficiently. If, I talk about water it means only water, not soft drinks. Consuming soft drinks enhance the risk of cavities or germ formation and in braces holding teeth the chances are seen more. So, try drinking water regularly; since, it helps reduce the stinking smells, of the mouth. So, a dental brace holder must add this habit, to get healthy and germs free teeth.

• Hold a cleaning kit
Usually, when you go under orthodontics treatments your doctor gives you a type of cleaning kit, which you must use it to clean your braces, every day. This kit makes you indulge in lots of work. The kits hold various devices, which helps eliminate the stuff stuck inside the teeth and prevent from cavities or germ formation. Further, one can also invest in water picker; since, it works efficiently, to eliminate the sticky stuff out from the teeth and also helps clean the teeth, properly. There is a stuff called disposal picker; one can carry this picker anywhere with them, in case if you have eaten something, you can use this picker to take out the trapped stuff, out from the teeth. People, holding braces over the teeth manage to eat limited; since, they need to go for brushing the teeth every now and then. However, in certain situation the disposal picker works well, to clean the trapped stuff out from the braces and teeth.

The brain is most important part of body as all thoughts, imagination and dreams are originate in the brain. It has the ability to plan, think and communicate. Hence, it is also referred as central processing unit. It plays a crucial role in various functions such as controls heartbeat, blood pressure, breathing, temperature and other important functions.

Hence, if something happens wrong with such an important function of our body, person needs to suffer from many problems. Brain tumor is one kind of life threatening disease. People are not much aware about the symptoms, as early symptoms are some kind of same with other diseases.

Thus, this disease is often neglected at initial stage and become severe if left untreated. Brain tumor is usually defined as an abnormal growth of cells in the brain. There are primarily two types of tumor that are primary and secondary. Tumors that begin to grow in the brain are known as primary. Whereas, the tumor spread from a cancerous part of the body to the brain are called as secondary or metastatic tumor. Different types of brain tumors occurs, some of them are noncancerous (benign), while others are cancerous (malignant). In fact, secondary tumor is always malignant.

SYMPTOMS OF BRAIN TUMOR

Each patient experiences different symptoms, Symptoms changes according to the tumor’s size, location and rate of growth. Below listed are some of the commonly observed symptoms:

• New onset or change in form of headache

These diseases not only take place among older people but also young children are suffering from this disease. Ages, gender, heredity, exposure to hazardous chemicals, viruses, injury, hormones, occupational and environmental factors are some of the risk factors that are associated with this disease.

TREATMENT TO COPE WITH BRAIN TUMOR

Usually when a brain tumor is diagnosed, a medical team is constituted in order to access the treatment options recommend by the leading surgeon to treat the patient. In this medical condition of the brain, normally the option of “do-nothing” is avoided. Neurosurgeons take enough time to observe the evolution of the tumor before suggesting a management plant to the patient and his relatives. In short, various types of treatment are decided depending on tumor type and location, and may be combined to give best possibilities of survival.

Surgery:-

Surgery is considered to be the usual course of action for most brain tumors. In order to eradicate a brain tumor, neurosurgeon induces an opening in the skull. This operation is also known as craniotomy. Mostly the surgeon tries his best to remove the entire tumor. In some cases, if the tumor is not removed completely without damaging vital brain tissue, doctor may eradicate the tumor as much as possible. Partial removal assists to get rid of symptoms by decreasing the pressure on brain and also reduce the degree of tumor to be tackled by radiation therapy or chemotherapy. In cases, when tumors are not removed, then doctors make use of biopsy method. In this method, a small piece of tumor is removed.

This method helps a pathologist to identify it under a microscope to decide the types of cells it contains. Sometimes biopsy is done with the help of needle. Doctors use variety of techniques such as head frame, CT scans or MRI in order to pinpoint the exact location of the tumor. When biopsy is done with the help of these techniques is called as stereotaxis. In addition, Brain mapping is another advance form of technique is utilized during surgery to discover functional pathways near tumor.

Radiation Therapy:-

This treatment makes utilized of high-powered rays in order to damage harmful cancer cells and basically block them from growing. It is also known by name radiotherapy. This method is believed to be quiet effective to destroy tumor tissues, which often become difficult while surgery to kill or eradicate cancer cells. Radiation therapy is used as an alternative for surgery. This particular therapy can be conducted in two ways. External radiation derives from large machine, and the treatment period of external radiation is either for 5 days or for several weeks.

In short, it depends on the type, size of tumor and age of patient. If, total dose of radiation is extended helps to protect healthy tissues that are placed in the area of tumor. Apart from these, the gamma knife and stereotactic radiosurgery are another form of treatment that is also use to treat brain tumors. The gamma knife is not a kind of a knife, but a type of radiation therapy technique, and is given one session. High energy is main vision of this treatment. However, it is observed that high dose of radiation is also beneficial as it does not cause any damage to other brain tissues.

Chemotherapy:-

This technique makes use of drugs to kill cancer cells. The doctors may utilized either one drug or in a combination, either by orally or by injection and are given in the blood vessels or muscles. Chemotherapy usually follows a cycle. Treatment period is depends on recovery. In short another treatment does not start, until one completes. In this treatment, patient needs to stay only in hospital. Since, drugs are given only in clinic. When advances are use in chemotherapy include direct placement into the tumor cavity with the help of new technique, is known as convection enhanced delivery.
