Problem: Article: If your crooked nose is causing you problems with your breathing, you may have a deviated septum. If your crooked nose is a symptom of a medical condition that requires treatment, you should see a doctor about having it repaired. If you experience pain from time to time while breathing deeply, you may have a deviated septum that can be repaired surgically. Nasal obstruction is a reason for surgical intervention and can help with breathing better and sleeping better during the day and night. Experiencing frequent nose bleeds is also a symptom of a deviated septum that requires treatment. If you prefer to sleep on one side or have been told you make significant breathing noises as you sleep, you may have a deviated septum as well. If your crooked nose is only an aesthetic issue, you should consider leaving it alone. Using makeup to reduce the conspicuousness of your crooked nose may be enough. Injections and surgery are both expensive and pose medical risks that may not be necessary if your nose issue is only a visual one. Do not feel pressured to alter the way you look because of what others may think. Consider that you may get the surgery and find that you prefer your old nose to the new one. Using makeup to make your nose look straighter will require the use of three different shades of contouring makeup. These shades are used to create the illusion of a straighter nose without actually changing your nose at all. You will need: One contouring shade that is two shades darker than your natural skin tone. One the is only slightly darker than your natural skin tone. One contouring shade that is two shades lighter than your skin tone. Using two shades of contouring makeup you can establish a straighter look to your nose by drawing straight lines down your nose that do not bend where your nose does. Draw two straight lines down the sides of your nose with the darkest shade of contouring makeup. Draw lines outside those dark lines with the medium shade of contouring makeup. The bridge of your nose often serves as an extended base to the nose and can help establish a straight appearance by creating a relation between the bridge of your nose and the tip. Apply the highlight makeup to the center of the bridge of your nose to draw it toward the straightened lined you established with the dark shades. The combination of these shades will create the illusion of a straighter nose.
Summary: Determine if your crooked nose is a medical or an aesthetic issue. If your crooked nose is an aesthetic issue, consider leaving it alone. Gather the appropriate contouring shades of makeup. Draw straight lines down the sides of your nose. Use the lightest shade on the bridge of your nose.

Problem: Article: Keep the area clean so you don't lose any tools. Similarly, find a quiet area so you can tune your guitar without having to listen to any background noise. You will need a tuning machine, new strings, wire cutters, and a string winder. Depending on whether you're a beginner or expert, you may not need a tuning machine if you are a seasoned musician able to tune instruments by ear. Choose your guitar strings based on your personal taste. Find something to secure the neck of your guitar like a special piece of equipment you can buy at a guitar store. If you are a beginner, you can also just use something soft and curved like a piece of polystyrene.
Summary: Find a clean and quiet place to restring your guitar. Gather your equipment. Balance the neck of your guitar.

Problem: Article: Whether using a cloth or specific tools, be sure to rid your device of dust and debris daily. Clean hearing aids and parts in the morning to ensure that wax is dry and easier to remove. Remove your hearing aid batteries nightly and store in a dehumidifier or dryer in order to protect them from moisture. MultiTools usually provide a device to assist in the removal of batteries. If you don't have a dryer for storage, leave the batteries in the hearing aid and leave the compartment open over night to dry out any moisture. Heat tends to damage batteries so choose to store them at room temperature. Insert hearing aids only after you have applied makeup, hairspray and other products to avoid buildup of foreign matter. Keep hearing aids in a safe, dry location (such as a dehumidifier or dryer) when not in use. Visit your healthcare professional every 3-6 months to do hearing checks and to check the functionality of your device. Never attempt to do repairs on your own.
Summary: Clean daily. Protect your batteries. Avoid foreign materials. Visit your audiologist often.

Problem: Article: In severe cases, periodontal disease must be addressed with surgery. The most basic surgical option is called flap surgery, in which your dentist or periodontist will make an incision in your gums, lifting them back to clean and remove the tartar, infected bone, and necrotic cementum underneath. The flap is then sutured back into place, up against your teeth. By creating a flap, oxygen can destroy a large number of aggressive anaerobic bacteria, which are almost impossible to eliminate even with deep scaling or cleaning. In severe cases, you may require gum transplants from palate, or synthetic membrane transplant called AlloDerm, to replace damaged gum tissue, and/or bone transplant or regeneration surgery to replace bone tissue that has been lost. These treatments are aimed at preventing as much tooth loss as possible, and to stop the advancement of periodontitis, which can have mutilating results. Recent studies have shown that laser surgery may be as effective as surgery at resolving periodontal disease in certain cases. Ask your dentist or periodontist if this might be an option for you, but be aware that this is a new field that is developing rapidly, and that many insurances may not yet cover this kind of treatment. In some cases, one or more of your teeth may be lost to periodontal disease. In these cases, you can have the teeth replaced with high-quality dental implants. Speak with your dentist or periodontist to determine if dental implants are right for you regarding your medical history or any other health issues.
Summary:
Undergo surgical treatment, if needed. Get gum grafts and bone transplants. Ask about laser treatment options. Look into dental implants.
