When the orthodontist asks if you’ve been wearing your rubber bands! Don’t forget that wearing your
rubber bands is a very important part of orthodontic treatment. Wearing them as prescribed will help
your braces come off on schedule!

The success of a patient's orthodontic treatment depends on their dedication to wearing a retainer.
Unfortunately, approximately 25 percent of patients who wear braces need retreatment because they
fail to wear them as instructed and their teeth shift back to their original position. If your teeth have
shifted, give us a call – we can help!

The truth is, while your teeth may be the easiest and most convenient tool for getting the job done,
they are not the best choice. In fact, doing anything other than chewing food with your teeth can
actually cause permanent damage and lead to long–term problems and costly dental treatments and
repairs. So, find the right tool for the job and save your teeth for enjoying dinner!

It’s true, not everyone needs wires to have perfectly straight teeth. Spark, the non-bracket approach
to a new smile, is another great option! Spark 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.
Spark is made with 3-D computer imaging technology and has been proven effective.
Not only are the aligners invisible, but they are also removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment.
Plus, brushing and flossing are no problem, and they are very comfortable. Curious how it works? You wear each set of
aligners for about two weeks, 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 we
have prescribed. You'll visit us about once every six-eight weeks to ensure your treatment is progressing as planned. Total
treatment time averages 9-15 months and the average number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30,
but both will vary from case to case. Give us a call if you think Spark is right for you!

Happy St. Patty’s Day! To make the holiday festive, many of our favorite foods and beverages are
dyed green today. Patients often ask whether food coloring will stain teeth, and the answer is: not
usually. Typically, it takes repeated exposure to permanently stain teeth, so an occasional green
cupcake won’t ruin your smile. But we suggest brushing after your meal to ease your mind.

Research at UCLA defined the difference between a sincere and an insincere smile: sincere smiles
cause the corners of your eyes to scrunch up -- insincere smiles don’t. Do your eyes scrunch? Ours do
when we think of our patients!
