Dori Eger Orthodontist

Dental Examination
You do â€” in fact, it's more important than ever! Keeping teeth free of plaque (and potentially, decay) can be challenging when you're wearing braces. Your dentist can help you avoid these problems with frequent cleanings and exams.
X-rays

Teeth Cleaning
Ever wonder how effective your tooth-cleaning techniques really are? There's an accurate way to tell, using special vegetable dyes called â€œdisclosing solutionsâ€ or â€œdisclosing tablets.â€ As they dissolve in the mouth, these dyes highlight plaque and food debris that brushing has missed. You can then easily remove the dyed spots â€” and you'll know for sure if your oral hygiene methods need a little â€œbrushing up.â€
Fluoride Treatment

Dentures
To stay fresh and germ-free, all retainers need proper cleaning. A Hawley-type retainer can be brushed gently with a regular toothbrush â€” but a brush may scratch the clear aligner types. Denture cleaners, in powder or tablet form, as well as special retainer cleaners, can be used to clean most removable retainers. Fixed retainers are cleaned by brushing and flossing; a floss threader or interproximal brush can also be a helpful cleaning tool when needed.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
One is severe crossbite, a condition where the upper teeth close inside the lower teeth. To treat this problem, a device called a palatal expander can be used, which gradually and painlessly widens the upper jaw; it's especially effective when the jaw itself hasn't fully developed. If we wait too long, a more complicated treatment â€” or even oral surgery â€” might be required to correct the problem.
Jaw Surgery
The growth of a person's jaw is a steady process, and sometimes the growth of the upper and lower jaw can occur at different rates, causing a discrepancy in size and function. Often, these abnormalities cause difficulty associated with chewing, talking, sleeping, breathing and other routine activities. Corrective jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery) treats and corrects abnormalities of the facial bones, specifically the jaws and the teeth. Orthodontic treatment may also be used in conjunction with corrective jaw surgery to align the teeth appropriately. Although jaw surgery can dramatically improve a patient's appearance, the goal is to correct functional problems.
Tooth Extractions
Another condition that may benefit from early treatment is severe crowding. This occurs when the jaws are too small to accommodate all of the permanent teeth. Either palatal expansion or tooth extraction may be recommended at this point, to help the adult teeth erupt (emerge from below the gums) properly. Even if braces are required later, the treatment time will likely be shorter and less complicated.

Orthodontics
Drs. Siegel and Batouli are certified specialists who limit their practice to the specialty of orthodontics. Years of additional education and examinations are required for certification. Our doctors are honors graduates and recipients of numerous awards. Dr. Siegel is an assistant clinical professor in the Department of Orthodontics at the University of Maryland School of Dentistry, and he is a member of the Johns Hopkins Cleft and Craniofacial Center team.
Invisalign Orthodontics
There's a new technology that's (literally) putting a smile on plenty of young faces: A system of clear, removable aligners made especially for teens called Invisalign Teen Â®! If you (or a teenager you know) are a candidate for this treatment, you might find it's the best fit for your lifestyle: It lets you eat what you want, makes it easier to clean your teeth â€” and best of all, it's virtually invisible.
Braces
You know how important it is to brush and floss properly when you're wearing braces â€” but what's the best way to do that? Let's start with the basic brushing tools: Either a soft-bristle brush or a bi-level brush (one that has shorter bristles in the middle and longer bristles at the edges) can be effective. Used carefully, an electric toothbrush can work just as well. But be sure the electric brush is set to a moderate power level, and don't let its vibrations cause the back of the brush to hit the braces!

General Dentistry
Dr. Siegel earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from Brooklyn College and his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in 1980. He received his certificate in orthodontics from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. Upon graduation from dental school, he served as a commissioned officer in the United States Public Health Service. Prior to becoming an orthodontic specialist, Dr. Siegel was in the private practice of general dentistry with his wife, Mindy, who is also a dentist.
