Missing your orthodontic appointments may cost you more than you think… 🤔



We schedule your adjustment appointments so they fall at the right time to refresh or tighten your brackets and wires and ensure your aligner treatment plan is still on track. When you miss those check-ins, it can cause delays and potentially make treatment last longer than originally planned.



If you do miss an appointment, don’t worry! Here’s a couple of things to do if this happens:

🦷 Don’t just wait until your next appointment to see us

🦷 Call the office and reschedule ASAP to stay on track

🦷 Keep wearing your elastics or aligners as instructed in the meantime



Save this post to refer to the next time you miss an appointment and aren’t sure what to do. 😄

Do you know how Phase 1 treatment works… and who it’s for? 🤔



For children who need it, Phase 1 treatment is the first step in making sure that their smiles are developing healthily and function as they should. There are so many benefits of getting Phase 1 treatment, such as…



😄 Improved oral health by simplifying your oral hygiene

😄 Better jaw function

😄 Simplified treatment in teen or adult years

😄 Confident & balanced smiles



We use noninvasive methods such as space maintainers, palatal expanders, or partial braces to guide teeth and jaw development. The orthodontic appliances may require some adjusting or affect your children’s speech at first, but with patience and some speech practice, they’ll be used to them in no time.

Is discomfort with braces normal? 🤕

Yes, sometimes, your braces can cause tenderness as your teeth shift into their new positions.


This discomfort is temporary, and you can manage it by:

😁 Swishing with warm water and salt.

😁 Putting an ice pack on your mouth for 10-15 minutes.

😁 Using over-the-counter medication like ibuprofen or acetaminophen.

😁 Eating soft foods that are easy on your teeth and gums.



If you have persistent pain or if a bracket/wire starts to poke you, give our office a call at 406-655-9300. Save this post to refer back to the next time your braces are getting on your nerves. 🦷

The early days of braces are all about small wins.


New braces come with a lot of new sensations, new habits, and a little trial and error at first. 😅 The good news is that a few simple adjustments can make those early weeks feel much easier.


This cheat sheet breaks down how to keep teeth clean, reduce soreness, and stay comfortable during those first few weeks. Save this for convenient, simple reminders that can actually help. 😁

The kind of improvement that holds up long after the photo.



This treatment focused on creating a healthier bite while refining the look of his smile, so the result feels natural, balanced, and built to last. 😁 Changes like this support everyday comfort and function, with aesthetics that follow.



If you know someone who’s been thinking about orthodontic treatment but waiting for the right moment, share this with them. A consultation can be the first step toward a result like this. ✨

A smile as radiant as your spirit.✨

Retainers are made HOW? 🤯



Instead of using messy molds, we take a quick digital scan of your teeth to capture every curve and contour. That scan becomes a precise 3D model of your smile, exactly as it is the day your braces come off.



From there, we use that model to create a custom Essix retainer by melting a smooth, clear plastic directly onto it so it fits snugly over your teeth. After that, every edge is trimmed for comfort and every angle checked for accuracy. It’s nearly invisible, easy to wear, and made to hold your smile exactly where you want it.
