36 months later and this guy has the smile of his dreams! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Every orthodontic case has a different treatment length. Some require more prep work or longer time frames depending on what needs to be done to get the healthiest and straightest smile possible! Regardless how long, or short, your treatment time is, our favorite part of your treatment plan is getting to know you and building a relationship! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We are going to miss this smile, but we know he is going to do great things!
Comparison Steals Joy⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It doesn't matter who you are or what you do in life, it is easier to compare yourself to other people than it is to focus on the chapter in life YOU are currently writing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
BUT YOU DON'T NEED TO COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHERS. Not your life, smile, job, parenting, clothing... you are exactly who you are meant to be and where you should be in this journey, and if it is meant to change, it won't change because you saw someone else doing/wearing/being/having something different.
M is feeling GREAT with her bright new smile, but like everyone else, she is keeping it safe behind her mask! Even when we have to hide our mouths, remember to let your smile shine. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The Duchenne smile is our absolute favorite kind of smile. It isn't orthodontic kind of a smile, but the one that you can see by just looking at someone's eyes! An expression that signals true enjoyment. It occurs when the zygomaticus major muscle lifts the corners of your mouth at the same time the orbicularis oculi muscles lift your cheeks and crinkle your eyes at the corners. 2020 is the year of laugh lines and crows feet, and we are totally okay with it!
Happy 1st Day of Fall! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
With new seasons come change, and we are excited for some cooler weather, lots of outdoor activities, and the bright new smiles that will be starting or finishing their transformations! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

You wouldn't believe how many of our patients came to us after trying to use DIY aligners that messed up their smile. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One of the main issues with DIY aligners that are mailed to your home for a "cheaper" price is that they can only focus on straightening your teeth. What many people don't think about is the fact that as your teeth move, your bite is affected and gaps can form in between the tops of your teeth! This can cause major problems and isn't really what the patient wants long term. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

When you avoid eating and drinking anything by water with your trays in, they can stay pretty darn clean! They are even kind of a beautiful piece of artwork. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here are three tips to keeping your trays clean:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Avoid anything BUT WATER! No tea, coffee, soda, even if they are sugar free! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Rinse them every time you take them out⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Lightly brush them with your tooth brush⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Use Retainerbrite tabs when you need to use the same tray for a long period of time! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
