SUMMERTIME FUN: TIPS FOR KEEPING YOUR DOG SAFE AND HAPPY AT OUTDOOR EVENTS

WHAT DOES EARLY TREATMENT ALLOW YOUR ORTHODONTIST TO DO?

Early treatment will address much more than you might imagine, and includes: • Correct and guide the growth of your child's jaw • Regulate the width of the upper and lower arches to help the permanent teeth erupt into healthy tissues • Reduce the probability of permanent tooth extractions as part of the comprehensive plan • Address impacted teeth and other eruptive issues • Correct thumb sucking and help improve minor speech problems

If your child has any of the following problems, it’s super important that you make an appointment with Myser Orthodontics. Here are a few things to look for: • Early or late loss of baby teeth • A hard time chewing or biting food • Mouth breathing • Finger or thumb sucking • Crowded, misplaced, or blocked teeth • Jaws that pop or make sounds when opening and closing • Teeth that come together abnormally, or do not come together at all • Crowded front teeth around age 7 or 8 • Psychosocial concerns such as not wanting to smile in photographs or getting teased by peers

WHO CAN BE TREATED AND WHAT KIND OF BRACES ARE AVAILABLE?

It’s not just young children that are candidates for Myser Orthodontics’ superb treatment plans. Teens, more commonly, 11 to 15, and even adults can all benefit.

In fact, although traditional state-of-the-art metal braces are commonly used, and are even more comfortable today than ever before, ceramic braces, known as Platinum Invisalign, are made of clear materials that are less visible, are used mainly for older teenagers and adult patients who have cosmetic concerns and would rather be a little more discrete.

With Invisalign, you wear each set of aligners for about a week, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move, little by little, week by week, until they have straightened to the final position Dr. Myser or Dr. Barnhart prescribe.

Total treatment time averages 9-15 months and the average number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30. Both, however, will vary from case to case.

SO WHAT ABOUT COMMUNITY?

It’s easy to see the awesomeness of this great practice. That and joy are all over – just read their reviews. But what about community. This is the part where Myser Orthodontics gives back. That says a lot about a business.

Myser is involved in community activities from the Aledo Education Foundation to Medical Mission Trips. In fact, they have continued to support their communities from sports, band, FFA, academics, the schools, little league, non-profit organizations and police and fire. Giving back is a part of the Myser culture.

WANT TO KNOW MORE?

Check out their website at www.myserortho.com. Better yet, download and submit their “New Patient Form” available under the web’s “New Patients” menu option, or call them for a complimentary consultation at (817) 441 8700.

I have feeling, you’ll also be posting a positive review soon because of the Awesomeness, Joy, and Community of Myser Orthodontics. PCLS

ALPHA CARE WELLNESS CENTER: BRINGING A FRESH, HOLISTIC PERSPECTIVE

TO HEALTHCARE IN PARKER COUNTY.

As a Clinical Integrative Pharmacist, board certified and fellowship trained in Integrative and Functional Medicine, Dr. Catherine Oseni has built her medical career on a deep-rooted foundation of expertise in both traditional and alternative medicines.

Dr. Catherine Oseni’s extensive experience as a Director of Integrative and Functional Medicine in addition to her highly regarded unique skill set lends her thorough insight into effectively and safely integrating traditional medicine into alternative, evidence-based therapies.

These integrative therapies can be especially beneficial to prevent any drug interactions and combat drug-nutrient depletion in patients with conditions requiring traditional medications such as patients undergoing chemotherapy treatment, patients being treated with specific heart conditions or other conditions requiring immediate prescription drug intervention.

Dr. Catherine Oseni partners with patients’ primary physician to develop an individualized plan of action with the intent to ultimately remove unnecessary medications and procedures by taking a natural, holistic approach and solving the root of the health concern. The outcome of this integration results in a more natural, whole person approach to current health care.

Time and again Dr. Catherine hears success stories from her patients such as these:

“Just one month ago I was told I would have to take blood transfusions for life, but now thanks to implementing the personalized lifestyle plan Dr. Catherine has given me, my Doctor has said the transfusions will no longer be needed!” - B.M.

“She (Dr. Catherine Oseni) is amazing and very knowledgeable. Within a week of starting on the regimen she gave me I was starting to feel better and drop weight!” - J.H.

“I have never, in more than a decade of working with sports medicine, gastroenterologists, and other medical specialists, met a doctor as dedicated as Dr. Catherine Oseni. In just three weeks she had so greatly improved my quality of life from energy level, pain relief, and overall mental health that I cried and hugged her at my second appointment!” - J.W. The list goes on and on of overwhelming gratitude from patients who have struggled with health issues but finally have found the light at the end of the tunnel through Dr. Catherine Oseni’s guidance.

Dr. Catherine Oseni sees patients in person at Alpha Care Wellness Center located at 1200 Clear Lake Dr. in Weatherford. Appointments can be made by calling (817) 550-6332. For individuals on the go, do not live locally to the Parker county area or perhaps do not feel well enough to appear in person for an appointment, Dr. Catherine Oseni also offers convenient, flexible virtual consultations which can be scheduled at www.DrCatherineOseni.com.

If you’re ready to achieve your optimal health, schedule your consult with Dr. Catherine Oseni today to begin your wellness journey and never look back! PCLS
