An orthodontist is an oral health professional who is capable of treating a variety of jaw and bite irregularities. A Highlands Ranch Orthodontist can help you achieve the beautiful, healthy smile of which you have always dreamed. This will reduce the wear and tear on teeth that would otherwise be protruding. There are a few common problems that a trained orthodontist can treat.

Teeth that Are Overcrowded

Crowded teeth can be a serious issue for patients. If your teeth are overcrowded, this means that there isn’t enough space in your jaw to accommodate all of your teeth. While you might notice your crowded teeth in the mirror, this can lead to serious oral health problems as well. This can lead to uneven wear and tear on the surfaces of your teeth. This can also lead to gum problems. Finally, this might make it hard for you to adequately brush all surfaces of your teeth, leading to decay.

Problems with the Spacing of the Teeth

Gaps between your teeth can occur anywhere in your jaw. While some spacing issues might be present since birth, this can also result from teeth that are either too small or missing entirely. Finally, some kids who suck their thumb can push the teeth forward, leading to spacing. If the teeth are too far apart, this can make it hard to bite cleanly and can lead to tooth decay. A trained orthodontist can move the teeth closer together, creating a straight smile.

An Open Bite

Next, an open bite is a common issue that an orthodontist can treat. This happens when the upper and lower teeth do not join together properly when the mouth closes. This usually happens with the jawbone is not lined up correctly. Chewing on foreign objects and thumb sucking can cause the jaw to misalign. If the bite is open, this makes it hard for patients to break apart food, leading to nutritional issues. An orthodontist has numerous tools at his or her disposal to treat this alignment issue and correct an open bite.

Trust the Experience of a Trained Orthodontist

These are a few of the most common problems that can be addressed by a trained orthodontist. If you have problems with your teeth, bite, or smile, you have treatment options at your disposal. Not only can an orthodontist improve the aesthetic of your smile but also your oral health as well!

Aren’t we living in a crazy time? Who ever thought we would have a pandemic and be quarantine? I have been furloughed from my job and staying home for the last few weeks. I have been wondering how to keep myself busy. Activities, like internet surfing or streaming an endless amount of shows and movies, keep me entertained, but it also puts a considerable amount of strain on the eyes and the body.  What are have you been doing with all your extra time? Buying a few chicks to raise? Making more meals? Or maybe a new hobby?

I have found something that is fun and unique alternative to repetitive eye strain. Diamond Art Club makes creative and affordable art kits painting with “diamonds” to create beautiful works of art in hours or days, that anyone can do at home. There is very little learning curve to learn how to make designs, and it’s a fantastic activity that the whole family can get involved in, or do individually as a passive hobby.

The Diamond Art Club crafting kits come with everything you need to complete a beautiful picture. It comes with the printed canvas, diamonds, tray, applicator and grip.

This paint-by-numbers style artwork uses beautiful sparkling resin diamonds that you craft onto the canvas to make stunning, intricate designs. The artwork is printed on the canvas; all you have to do is follow the pattern and make your masterpiece shine!

Here is mine so far – I love working on it.


Diamond painting is a wonderful way to reveal your artistic side, even if there’s not a single crafty bone in your body. Using an applicator tool and wax, you scoop up diamonds and set them on an adhesive canvas which features a color-coded chart. In other words, it’s so easy, even a child could do it! But even experienced crafters feel the draw to this mesmerizing hobby. It is a great way to spend time relaxing.

You can purchase the kit I am working on “Read me a Bedtime Story” or any of the Diamond Art Club Kits Here. Each Diamond Art Club kit includes everything you need to create a dazzling work of art at home, including all supplies and accessories. Ready to get started with diamond art painting?
