CLOSING THE GAP

If patients wish to close the gap be-
tween their front teeth, the reason for the
spacing must be determined before the
best method of correction can be decided
upon. In the majority of cases, the cause
is developmentaL As the teeth grow, there
is simply more room than is needed to ac-
commodate them. As a result, gaps ap-
pear. Another reason that gaps might
appear in the upper front teeth relates to
the muscle attachment (frenum) found
between the upper lip and the upper den-
tal arch in the area of the two front teeth.
It sometimes happens that very large or
fibrous attachments may contribute to
splaying of the front teeth. Once these
causes are addressed, corrected, or at least
recognized, the orthodontist may then
close the gap by utilizing the long-term
procedure of orthodontically moving the

teeth together with a retainer appliance.
Everybody wants a beautiful smile and
everyone ought to have a healthy one. The
orthodontist's goal is to achieve both for
the patient. The importance of an attrac-
tive smile should not be underestimated.
A pleasing appearance is a vital asset to
one's self-confidence. lb schedule a con-
sultation, call our office at 360-7700, or
see us at 8362 Richardson in Commerce
Twp./West Bloomfield. We embrace ex-
cellence. Evening and Saturday hours are
available.

P.S. Gaps between the front teeth may
also appear as the result of habits, such
as continually picking one's teeth or suck-
ing fingers or writing utensils.

"comfort room" at the finals so
that children, after winning
round after round, will have a
place to cry after a single mis-
spelled word.
Jokes that abound about the
teams that didn't win the Super
Bowl or World Series, even
though they are the second-best
teams in the world.
Tears that are shed by silver-
medal Olympians, who, despite
awe-inspiring athletic perfor-
mances, are haunted by regrets
that they didn't do better.
Women who are so obsessed
with their appearance that they
die from eating disorders.
Perfection is not the same as
excellence.
"When we strive for excel-
lence, there's a pleasure in the
process because it's really
achievable," says Ms. Howarth.
'We can go far with practice and
dedication. Sometimes we
achieve a perfect tennis serve,
a perfect souffle, a perfect game.
It's a moment to be savored."
Perfection, on the other hand,
is impossible to achieve. So kick
back and accept it, say Howarth
and liras, both counselors in pri-
vate practice in Albuquerque,
N.M.
"Celebrate being adequate.
Relax. Enjoy being human. Feel
OK just the way you are," says
Ms. Howarth.
The byproducts of self-accep-
tance, she says, are relaxation,
self-esteem and the freedom to
make new choices and enjoy life.
Mattilou Catchpole of Spring-
field, Ill., understands the con-
cept. A nurse, small-business
owner and professor emeritus
in the women's studies program
at the University of Illinois at
Springfield, Ms. Catchpole used
to run herself ragged.
"I was going to be the perfect
mother, the perfect wife, the
perfect everything. But in the
process of trying, I worked my-
self to exhaustion."
It was a slipped disc in the
back that forced her to slow
down and readjust priorities.
"It finally came to me that I
couldn't be perfect. With three
young children, I figured if we
all had clean clothes and knew
what we could eat for breakfast,
I could go on from there."
The shift in attitude "didn't
hurt my family a bit," she adds.
Instead, putting goals with-
in reach gave Ms. Catchpole a
sense of accomplishment. "You
can't like yourself if you don't
like what you're doing," she
said.
For some, accepting limita-
tions is a side effect of aging.
"As you get older, you gather
more data and gain wisdom.
One component of wisdom is ac-
cepting yourself so that you can
be happy. As far as I'm con-
cerned, having fun is not a con-
tradiction to being responsible,"
Ms. Catchpole says. ❑
