The real answer is that we essentially had two February breaks… One created by snow days and one created by the school calendar. We wanted to know whether the two breaks were enjoyed in the same way, or if other plans were made for the “official break”. [Read more…] about How Did You Spend Your February Break?
Today I’m going to share different options for the orthodontic treatment of adults. In any orthodontic treatment, there is no such thing as one size fits all. An ideal treatment plan always takes into account your primary reason for seeking treatment as well as the current relationship of your teeth and jaws, so that the final plan is one that meets your goals while maintaining the oral health and integrity of your teeth and jaws.

One thing you might have heard me talk about (a lot) is how much I enjoy playing tennis! It’s a great sport that you can play throughout your lifetime. I play at the Guilford Racquet and Swim Club, the Madison Racquet and Swim Club, the Oak Lane Tennis Club, and the Guilford Yacht Club. Did I mention that I love playing tennis???
I also enjoy watching tennis being played, both live and on television. If you have ever watched the Tennis Channel, you may be familiar with one of my favorite segments called “Bag Check”. This is when they ask one of the pros to show the audience everything that is in their tennis bag. [Read more…] about Orthodontic Bag Check

The wires and brackets that make up your braces may occasionally loosen or break. Typically we see this in cases when foods that are hard or sticky have been eaten, or sports related injuries have occurred. If this happens, the first thing to remember is, DON’T PANIC! Broken brackets and wires happen from time to time. We understand this and are prepared to address it. In most instances, your next regularly scheduled appointment can be moved to accommodate the repair, it would simply need to be rescheduled to provide sufficient time for the correction.

We polled our patients and the winner is… the Carolina Panthers… tune back in after the game to see if we were right! I have to admit that I’m not much of a football fan (did I just say that out loud???), but there is something special about the Superbowl…
Aside from the game itself, which promises to be a good one, we have the creative commercials and the halftime show to look forward to!
What can you expect at your first visit to our office?
First, you should feel welcomed and relaxed. Your patient information form was filled out in advance online, so there is literally nothing left for you to do but relax and enjoy the ride. Patty will be the first member of the team to greet you. She will be sure that all of your paperwork is in order, take a quick photo for our records, and let me know that you are ready to begin.
