Dear Readers, The snow has been fun but let it be done! It is finally time to say goodbye to winter and say hello to spring. Let’s put away our heavy coats and sweaters and watch the flowers bloom. Hopefully, the next few weeks will bring warmer weather and time for outdoor fun. Even though spring has arrived make sure to stay focused on your schoolwork. Please keep on the look out for upcoming issues including safety tips for outdoor time. Enjoy your fun in the sun!

AT WHAT AGE SHOULD MY CHILD SEE AN ORTHODONTIST? The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that every child first visit an orthodontist by age 7 or earlier if a problem is detected by parents, the family dentist, or the child's physician. Many orthodontic problems are easier to correct if detected at an early age before jaw growth has slowed. Early treatment can prevent future problems and maximize future tooth and jaw development.
AM I TOO OLD FOR BRACES?
Orthodontic treatment can be successful at any age. With treatment options that include ceramic braces and crystal clear Invisalign, everyone can have a beautiful and healthy smile. Twenty to twenty five percent of orthodontic patients today are adults.
WHAT IS INVISALIGN?
Invisalign is an alternative to traditional braces that uses a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners that no one can tell you're wearing—so you can smile more during treatment as well as after. Invisalign is made with 3-D computer imaging technology, and has been proven effective in treating certain types of orthodontic problems.
FILL IN THE BRACES WITH YOUR FAVORITE SPRING COLORS!
WITH NEXT GENERATION IN-OVATION® SYSTEM BRACES, OR CLEAR INVISALIGN® TECHNOLOGY, YOU CAN HAVE THE BEAUTIFUL AND HEALTHY SMILE THAT YOU’VE ALWAYS WANTED.
