You will need a mirror, a tape measure or ruler with metric markings, a pen, and some paper. This process will be easier with a fixed mirror rather than a handheld one. You can also ask a friend to help if you are comfortable doing so. Look into the mirror and identify the teeth that have gaps in between them. Make notes about the appearance of your gaps and why you would like to fix them. Also make notes on any other imperfections that you would like to fix along with your gaps (tooth size, color, straightness, chips, etc.). Using the tape measure or ruler, measure the space in between your teeth that have gaps. Write down the measurements in millimeters. These measurements and appearance notes will help you to determine what dental treatment will benefit you the most. The imperfections that you have identified will also help you dentist when deciding on your best treatment option.

Q: Do you tend to keep the curtains and blinds closed and flip on the overhead lights? Letting your house flood with natural light instead can lead to big electricity savings. Unless you need strong, focused light to complete a particular task, try leaving the lights off during the day and embracing the sun's rays in the rooms you're using.  Try to set up your family's daytime work and play space in the brightest room in your house. That way everyone can read, work on art projects, use computers, and so on without relying on artificial lighting. Use light-colored curtains and blinds as window coverings. Find coverings that provide privacy but still allow diffused light to flood your rooms. Instead of spreading out all over the house, have your family spend evening hours in just one or two rooms. That way you won't have to light the whole house to enjoy the evening, plus you'll have the added bonus of spending quality time with each member of the family. You don't have to wait until a summer thunderstorm knocks out the power to break out the candles. Choose a night or two a week to leave the lights off and light your family's way with sturdy, slow-burning candles that cast a fair amount of light. Kids will find it exciting, and over time you'll save electricity and cash.  You can use the candlelit nights as an excuse to power down the rest of the house, too. Encourage family members to do activities that don't require electricity, such as reading by candlelight or telling fun or scary stories. Be sure that your children know how to handle candles safely, and that the candles and matches are stored in a secure place when they aren't in use. Leaving a porch light or path lights burning all night long can waste a lot of electricity. Determine whether having lights on overnight is really necessary before flipping the switch in the evenings.  If you have lights around your house for security purposes, consider getting automatic security lights with motion detectors instead of using lights that stay on constantly. Decorative lights that complement your garden or pathway can be replaced with solar-powered lights that charge during the day and cast a soft, pleasant glow at night. If you use lights to decorate during the holidays, flip them off before going to bed, rather than leaving them on all night long. Replace all of your incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs (CFLs) or LED bulbs. Incandescent bulbs release most of their energy through heat, rather than light. Newer bulb styles are much more energy efficient, and they save a lot of electricity and money over time.  CFLs use only about 1/4 the energy of incandescent bulbs. They come in many shapes and styles. Be sure to dispose of these bulbs properly, since they contain small amounts of mercury. LED bulbs are slightly more expensive than CFLs, but they last longer and don't contain mercury. LED bulbs are slightly more efficient than CFLs. If you like the ability to customize your environment, LED bulbs come in multicolor and dimmable variants. Some even give you the ability to choose a color using your cell phone!
A: Use more natural lighting. Designate a few rooms as night hangout rooms for your family. Use  candles instead of electric lights a few times a week. Rethink your outdoor lighting system. Use energy-efficient lightbulbs.

Article: The leaves for common chickweed (also known as stellaria media) begin as small ovals with a pointed tip. As the plant matures, the leaves grow larger and begin to ruffle slightly. The ruffles form around the edge of the oval and looks like a different shape. One characteristic detail of the chickweed’s stem is the direction of the hair. If you examine the stalk’s hair, you’ll notice that the hairs change position at each node. The node is the knot-like location where the leaves extend out of the stalk. Another characteristic feature of the common chickweed is the inner-core, underneath the stalk. You can reveal the inner-core by pulling the stem of the plant. The inner-core happens because plant develops multiple stalks from the same root system. This is also the reason that a mature plant will sprawl. Chickweed grows in a sprawling fashion. It has a weak stem and each side of the stem has a single line of hairs. Younger plants won’t sprawl quite as fully as a matured plant.  Instead of looking for a tall plant, seek out a flat sprawling plant. Since there are so many stalks coming from the root system, many weaker plants will become engulfed by chickweed. This is the reason why many lawn owners dislike chickweed. the small white flowers. These appear in the spring and summer time. Each flower has five petals and the deep notching on the flowers makes it appear like 10 petals.
