In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Braces are a common fix for many underbite problems. The amount of time that you need braces will depend on the level of your underbite, as well as any other dental complications you may have. Talk to your dentist or orthodontist to see if braces might be a good option for you. Metal braces are commonly used to treat underbites, but clear braces such as Invisalign may also be an option for mild to moderate underbite problems. Talk to both your orthodontist and your dental insurance provider to find the right option for you. A tooth extraction is a common starting point for correcting underbites in adults. Getting rid of teeth crowding the jawline can decrease the overall pressure, allowing the remaining teeth to move into the correct alignment. This process is usually a quick procedure performed by your dentist in their office. For an extraction, your dentist will use a local anesthetic in the area of the tooth to be pulled. Once the area is numb, they use a series of tools to loosen the tooth in its socket and pull it out. Due to the anesthetic, you shouldn't feel anything beyond a slight pressure. Upper jaw expanders are usually fitted across the top of your mouth and held into position using your upper molars. These mechanical devices are adjusted daily to help slowly pull the lower jaw into the correct alignment. An expander is fit by your orthodontist. After it's in, you use a key to control the expansion. A key is made up of a plastic handle and a metal tip that fits into the expander. Your orthodontist will show you how to insert and use the key when to adjust the expander. You will still have regular appointments with your orthodontist to ensure that expansion is going properly. Generally, expanders are worn for about 3-6 months. They may be a little uncomfortable when they are first fitted, but many people say expanders are more comfortable than braces.
Summary: Ask your orthodontist about braces. Talk to your dentist about tooth extractions. Look into an upper jaw expander.

Q: For instance, say you are given the problem 43{\displaystyle 4*3}. This is really just another way to say "3 groups of 4," or, for that matter, "4 groups of 3." So, since it's the same as "3 groups of 4," you can view the problem as 4+4+4{\displaystyle 4+4+4}. Or, if you prefer, view it as 3+3+3+3{\displaystyle 3+3+3+3} In the case of a simple problem like 43{\displaystyle 4*3}, just add 4 together 3 times (or, alternatively, 3 together 4 times): 4+4+4=12{\displaystyle 4+4+4=12}; therefore, 43=12{\displaystyle 4*3=12} Alternatively, 3+3+3+3=12{\displaystyle 3+3+3+3=12}, so 43=12{\displaystyle 4*3=12} Technically speaking, you can find the answer to 2277{\displaystyle 22*77} or 521964{\displaystyle 521*964} through repeated addition. But it will take you way too long! For an even quicker method for multiplying smaller numbers, practice your multiplication tables (or times tables).
A: Restate the problem as an addition problem. Add the repeated number together to get your answer. Switch to long multiplication when multiplying 2-digit or larger numbers.

Problem: Article: Even if you have a covered play area in your yard, never leave your small dog alone outside. Your dog may find a way out of its enclosure and wander out into full view of a bird of prey. Retractable leashes allow your dog to get too far away from you. Purchase a standard leash that is no more than 6 feet (1.8 m) long. And never let your dog off the leash while outside of your yard, even if you've never seen predators near your home. Be on the lookout for trees, both near your home and along your walk route, where birds of prey have nested. These nests may be up in the branches or inside tree cavities. Don't allow your dog off its leash, even in your yard, if a bird of prey has nested nearby. Wait until the eggs have hatched and the birds have left the nest before you let your dog off the leash outside. In the U.S., birds of prey are federally protected, so do not attempt to disturb or remove an active nest. A Raptor Shield is like a dog coat that you sling over your dog's back and clip under its stomach. The canvas material makes it impossible for a bird's talons to latch onto your dog's skin and carry it away. Put this on your dog whenever it's outside, particularly if it will be off leash.
Summary:
Supervise your dog whenever it's outside. Keep your dog on a non-retractable leash during walks. Keep your dog away from any trees with nests. Purchase a Raptor Shield for your dog to wear outside.
