HALIFAX (CP) _ Four
‘Texan blowout fighters

Opponent, then flew to
another rig nearby to sleep
on the problem.

But the well-capping team
from Boots and Coots Inc. Is
not expected to stop today
the blowout that is spewing
natural gas and = con-

’ densates over the North
Atlantic, 12 nautical miles
north of Sable Island.

A spokesman for Shell

Canada Resources Ltd. said
Monday the team, which
stayed overnight on the rig
Zpata Scotian, probably
all leave the well-capping’
attempt for another day.
Instead, they are ex-
pected to work at diverting
the gas out of harm's way.
All the gas is coming from
the end of the drill hole’s
metal protective casing,
just under the drill floor.

SASKATOON (CP) —

Not Jong’ ago’ orthodontics -— “thie ,

irregularities of teeth -~ was considered kidstuff.

But over the last decade an increasing humber of adults
have’ submitted to the ‘procedure to correct problems
ranging from. protruding teeth to headaches. ~~

Dr,- Paul Henderson, a Saskatoon orthodontist, said

adults ‘account for 20 per cent of his practice.

While improvements may be initially slower in adults

than in children, theresults are equally; impressive, he said. -

=? Braces can do wonders for their features and the’ fune- :

~ Improved i appeararice is the moat obvious - result’ of Pome

-thodontia, but. there are health, reasons. for having ‘teeth.

A bad bite can cause headaches, earsiches and neck

‘tension.

Those with severe overbites or underbites may actually
be chewing into their upper or lower gums and eroding

teeth,

Sometimes the causes of crooked teeth are skeletal —

jawbones that are too large or too small. In cases of severe
skeletal discrepancies, the patient may require surgery | to
lengthen or shorten the jaw after the braces are removed. .

No matter what the problem, adults considering braces

~ should g¢t quickly because the bone housing around the

teeth:shrinks with age, Henderson said.

that ‘is mediocre at age 25 may be severe at age 40.”
