-'''Face Lift Dentistry''' is non-surgical procedures involving dental and [[health technology|medical technology]], such as [[Dentistry|dental]] and [[medical imaging]] promising a younger look and appearance.<ref name=ped1>{{Citation|last1= |first1=|title=Los Angeles Cosmetic Dentist Sam Muslin's Breakthrough Procedure: Face Lift Dentistry |journal=Medical Devices & Surgical Technology Week|volume=88 |issue=3 |pages=21–2, 25–6, 28|publisher=NewsRx|location=United States |date=August 2, 2009 |url=http://www.newsrx.com/newsletters/Medical-Devices-and-Surgical-Technology-Week/2009-08-02/2808022009525QW.html|issn=1537-1417}}</ref><ref name=ped2>{{cite journal | author = Johannes, Laura | date = April 13, 2010 | title = Taking Years off Your Smile | url= http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052702303828304575180022107327604 | journal = Wall Street Journal }}</ref> Invented and [[trademark]]ed by Sam Muslin in 2010,<ref name=ped3>{{cite journal | author = The Doctors TV Show | date = September 7, 2015 | title = Face Lift Dentistry | url= http://www.thedoctorstv.com/videos/face-lift-dentistry }}</ref> Face Lift Dentistry, as an innoative dental technolgy, may involve bite reconstruction and assessment of best [[jaw]] position for comfort purposes.<ref name=ped1/><ref name=ped2/>
-==Background==
-Traditional facelifts are a medical procedure involved in cosmetic surgery with skin, tissue cuts and suture steps, and cosmetic surgery was the most popular and also the most expensive facelift.<ref name=ped4>{{cite journal | author = Plasticsurgery.org | date = September 7, 2015 | title = Facelift Surgery – Rhytidectomy | url= http://www.plasticsurgery.org/cosmetic-procedures/facelift.html }}</ref><ref name=ped5>{{cite journal | author = O'Donnell, Jayne | date = September 21, 2011 | title = Cosmetic surgery gets cheaper, faster, scarier | url= http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/money/perfi/basics/story/2011-09-14/risks-low-cost-cosmetic-surgery/50409740/1 | journal = USA TODAY }}</ref><ref name=ped6>{{cite journal | author = Barbosa, Victoria | date = September 21, 2012 | title = Financing Your Cosmetic Surgery | url= http://www.webmd.com/beauty/treatments/financing-your-cosmetic-surgery | journal = Web MD }}</ref> To give more details, a traditional facelift, or call rhytidectomy in cosmetic medicine, is a surgical procedure to improve visible signs of aging in the face and neck.<ref name=ped4/> People prefer to correct sagging in the middle of the face, loss of muscle tone in the lower face, deep creases below the lower eyelid and along the nose extending to the mouth, and loose skin under the chin and jaw.<ref name=ped2/><ref name=ped3/>
-Several reasons make the traditional facelift surgery unfavorable for most of us: its high cost, safety concern, side effects, and most importantly, the pain from skin cuts in surgery procedure and post-surgery recovery.<ref name=ped5/><ref name=ped6/> Due to these reasons, the innovative Face Lift Dentistry is invented to compensate the needs of a safer, simpler and non-surgery face lift procedure for those who want to improve their appearance of face and neck but do not want to suffer from surgery and pains.<ref name=ped2/><ref name=ped3/>
-==Technology==
-Caused either by [[acid erosion|erosion (dental)]], [[abrasion (dental)|abrasion]] or [[attrition (dental)|attrition]], tooth wear had been found to become more prevalent as a person ages.<ref name=ped6/> While some have been born without a good bite, a person’s bite is normally formed during early [[adolescence]] when all [[permanent teeth|adult teeth]] begin to erupt, others wear down their bite quickly over the years.<ref name=ped2/> The length and shape of the face and the position of the jaw are determined by a person’s teeth and bite.<ref name=ped14>{{cite web |url=http://www.andrewspathdds.com/dental-care/index.html |title=Dental Care |author=Dean Rollolazo |year=2013 |work=Dentist Newport Beach | publisher=Andrew Spath |accessdate=January 8, 2013}}</ref> Thus, when the teeth do not give sufficient support, a person’s face can be round and short, or it can have a weak chin and jawline.<ref name=ped14/><ref name=ped15>{{Citation|last1=Kim |first1=Y-K|last2=Kho |first2=H-S|last3=Lee |first3=K-H|title=Age estimation by occlusal tooth wear|journal=Journal of Forensic Sciences|volume=45|issue=2|pages=303–309|publisher= American Academy of Forensic Sciences|location=United States|date=March 2000|url=|issn=0022-1198|doi=10.1520/JFS14683J}}</ref><ref name=ped16>{{Citation |last1=Seligman |first1=D |last2=Pullinger |first2=A |last3=Solberg |first3=W |title= The prevalence of dental attrition and its association with factors of age, gender, occlusion, and TMJ symptomatology|journal= Journal of Dental Research |volume=67 |issue=10 |pages=1323–1333 |publisher=International Association for Dental Research|location=United States |date=October 1988 |issn=0022-0345 |pmid=3049715 |doi=10.1177/00220345880670101601}}</ref>
-The process is generally conducted in two [[dentistry|dental appointments]].<ref name=ped3/> The first appointment involves the management of loosened teeth, bad bite, poor crowns, facial collapse and [[gum disease]] through the provision of temporary fillings, [[veneer (dentistry)|veneers]] (VENLAY), and crowns.<ref name=ped1/> The second visit involves the bonding of all new fillings, veneers, and crowns, which aims to help lengthen the face of the [[patient]] as well as achieve permanent facial support resulting in a total reversal of the bite collapse.<ref name=ped2/><ref name=ped17>{{cite web |url=http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702303828304575180022107327604.html/ |title=Taking Years Off Your Smile |author=Laura Johannes |date=April 13, 2010 |work=The Wall Street Journal | publisher=Dow Jones & Company |accessdate=January 7, 2013}}</ref> Due to the intricacies involved, every [[tooth filling|dental restoration]] is physiologically compatible and matched.<ref name=ped2/><ref name=ped17/>
