Da Libero News un articolo su Oralift

L'apparecchio per eliminare le rughe
in Bella Fuori


Arriva dall'Inghilterra, e promette di distendere i tratti attraverso la bocca: basta indossarlo mezz'ora al giorno, per tornare giovani senza passare dal bisturi. Il dentista ci spiega come


Ogni età ha i suoi guai, come si dice: e se le adolescenti indossano sbuffando l'apparecchio ortodontico per un sorriso perfetto, le loro mamme e sorelle maggiori potrebbero decidere di farlo per eliminare le rughe. L'idea di poter "correggere" le imperfezioni e la durezza del volto attraverso un apparecchio orale arriva dall'Inghilterra. Si chiama Oralift ed è un'invenzione di un dentista londinese, il dottor Nick Mohindra : le promesse sono quasi miracolose, basterebbero due ore ogni tre giorni per vedere i risultati. Zampe di gallina attenuate, pelle più luminosa, zigomi più alti, via le borse sotto gli occhi, mento ben definito, labbra più turgide. Persino i capelli ne trarrebbero giovamento! Tra le pazienti di Mohindra la più famosa è la 58enne Janan Harb, vedova del re saudita Fahd che, testimonia il suo entusiasmo sul sito del dentista: «Mi ha ridato l'aspetto che avevo in gioventù. È straordinario».

Credere davvero che questo piccolo apparecchio di plastica trasparente (si inserisce all'interno della bocca e diveta quasi "invisibile", anche se conferisce un'espressione bizzara), possa davvero compiere tali miracoli è difficile: una reporter del Daily Mail, piuttosto scettica, ha voluto testare l'ultima mania britannica. «Perdi il 40 per cento dei muscoli del viso tra i 20 e i 60anni - le spiega il dottor Mohindra -. Significa che perdi volume e sembri più vecchia. Ma se eserciti i muscoli del volto, come quelli di qualsiasi altra parte del corpo, i tuoi tratti saranno tonici e più giovani». Dopo un sincero scetticismo iniziale in cui non le sembra di vedere grandi cambiamenti («Almeno indossarlo non è doloroso, quindi se non dovesse funzionare pazienza »), la giornalista finisce per convincersi che effettivamente un certo miglioramento c'è.

Su facial Care si parla ancora di oralift

ADD Dentalfacelift is a real alternative to surgical facelifts
Posted by admin on 7/14/09 • Categorized as Added Dimension Dentures

“80% of patients treated with the ADD Dental Facelift looked between 5 and 20 years younger”
British Dental Journal

With time the lower facial height (the area between the nose and chin) decreases due to the loss of teeth and/or the wearing down of teeth. Dr. Mohindra discovered that this is one of the key factors in facial aging. You have only to think an elderly person who has lost their teeth to see the difference this can make. Missing and ground down teeth result in the sucked in and collapsed appearance around the mouth which causes vertical lines on the upper and lowers lips and all around the mouth. The effects don’t stop there. Because the tension on the skin of the face has been slackened the whole face is effected

Dental Facelift works by re-building and replacing missing and worn teeth. This builds the muscles in the face back up and tightens the skin.

Facial ageing is regarded as the gravity assisted downward migration of the soft tissues of the face. Nowadays we believe this is not the only reason. Bones of the face also change, which causes flattening of the cheek bones exacerbating this downward movement of the soft tissues.

Cosmetic surgeons think of the face in terms of a triangle. In youth the base of the triangle is at the cheeks and the point is at the chin. As we get older the triangle reverses. The formation of the jowls means that the base of the triangle is now at the chin and the tip goes upwards towards the nose.

Up until now surgery was the only answer to reverse the triangle. But after a short time the soft tissues would sag again. Now there is another answer – the ADD Dentalfacelift . This can reverse the triangle and because this procedure is truly anti aging the ageing process gets put into reverse gear. As we get older, the face keeps on improving. (See the long term effects). The pictures below show this reversal of the triangle.

Un profilo del Dr. Nick Mohindra, il dentista inglese che ha sviluppato Oralift

Dr Nick Mohindra

After qualifying from Edinburgh, Nick Mohindra gained experience as an associate in London before becoming principal of general practices in South Wales and Kent, where he was a VT trainer for ten years. Nick’s interest in treating patients with facial pain led to his theory that lower facial height could be increased by much more than advocated in text books. This had the effect of patients looking much younger. His first research paper with Dr. David Davis from King’s was published in the BDJ in 1996, and inspired Nick to move away from general practice to focus on facial rejuvenation through dentistry.

Nick established Added Dimension Dentistry in Wimpole Street in 1999, initially treating just denture patients but later extended his work to treat patients with their own teeth. Nick called his rejuvenation technique “The Dentalfacelift” . His second research paper concluded that patients whose lower facial height had been increased looked between 5 and 20 years younger.

Nick has lectured extensively to both postgraduate groups and conferences (World Aesthetic Conference, London anti ageing Conference, University of Florence).

His most recent work has been the development of the Oralift appliances for which patents have been granted. Oralift seems to reverse the signs of facial ageing and slow down the ageing process on the face without the need for surgery. Nick is hoping that a University will agree to do clinical trials on the effects of using Oralift.
