AUSTIN, TX, February 24, 2013 (Press-News.org) The life you lead is unique to you. So why shouldn't you have the same flexibility when it comes to orthodontic treatment? Dr. Mary Kay Becher encourages all prospective patients to come in for a free consultation. Your first visit will include photographs and a panoramic x-ray that will help Dr. Becher determine the need for and timing of orthodontic treatment. In short, it allows Dr. Becher to recommend the course of treatment that may be best suited to you:
Invisible Braces
Clear appliances (such as Invisalign) use a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners to straighten your teeth. And, no one can tell you are wearing those aligners because they are invisible! Not only are the aligners invisible, they are removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment, plus brushing and flossing are less of a hassle. The aligners are comfortable and have no metal to cause mouth abrasions during treatment.
Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces are the most common type of braces and are more comfortable today than ever before. Made of high-grade stainless steel, metal braces straighten your teeth using metal brackets and archwires. With metal braces, you have the option of adding colored elastics (rubber bands) for a more unique and colorful smile.
Ceramic braces
Ceramic braces are made of clear materials and are therefore less visible on your teeth than metal braces. For this reason, ceramic braces are used mainly on older teenagers and adult patients who have cosmetic concerns. While they are visually less prominent, they do require more attention to oral hygiene as ceramic braces are larger and are more brittle than their metal counterparts. For these reasons, ceramic braces tend to be used more on upper front teeth than on lower teeth.
Teamwork
Remember, the duration of your orthodontic treatment represents a commitment on the part of the patient and on the part of Dr. Becher. Patience and communication are key as is investing in the time and discipline needed to accomplish the necessary goals and treatment necessary to create a winning smile that will last a lifetime.

Race linked to childhood food allergies, not environmental allergies
2013-02-23
DETROIT – Research conducted at Henry Ford Hospital shows that race and possibly genetics play a role in children's sensitivity to developing allergies.
Researchers found:
African-American children were sensitized to at least one food allergen three times more often than Caucasian children.
African-American children with one allergic parent were sensitized to an environmental allergen twice as often as African-American children without an allergic parent.
The study will be presented Saturday at the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology annual meeting,
