Weekend rewind from the coast 🐚✨

Last weekend, Dr. Clark took a little escape to Rockport, Massachusetts—a picture-perfect New England town full of salty air, coastal charm, and calm summer energy. A reminder that slowing down now and then is part of keeping your smile (and spirit) bright.

Have you been to Rockport? Or have another favorite summer escape? Let us know below—always looking for new weekend recs! ⛱️🌊

✨ Before ➡️ After ✨
Lower Braces Only ~15 Months

You don’t always need full braces to see a big difference. 👇

Here’s what we did:

✅ Lower braces only — no upper braces!
✅ Used an open coil (a small spring) to gently create space where a tooth was blocked out
✅ Aligned the lower right canine (the tooth that was out of place)
✅ Finished with a permanent lower retainer to help maintain the result long-term

Why we love this case:
💡 It’s a great example of our conservative approach — treating only what’s needed for a healthy, balanced smile.
💬 Every smile is unique, and sometimes the most effective plan is also the simplest.

We love tailoring treatment to fit the individual — not the other way around. 💪🎬

☀️It’s officially the dog days of summer! ☀️

Happy Summer Solstice!
The longest day of the year means more time outside—and more chances for your dog to show their love in very unique ways. 🫢

Light chewing on your retainer? Yep! Let’s just say it’s their (pricey) way of showing love. 🐶🦷❤️

So this summer, protect your smile and your FSA benefits by keeping your retainer or aligner in a safe spot! 🔒👏

Raise your hand if this has happened to you! 🙋🏻‍♀️👋

Welcome to our little nest—we’re so glad you landed here! 🪺🕊️

Before we dive into what we do, let’s start with where we came from. 👇

Bird Smiles Orthodontics (formerly Byrdsmiles Orthodontics) is named after Dr. Darlene Byrd, who opened the practice in 1987 with a beautiful idea in mind: to create a space where people feel genuinely cared for. That spirit still shapes our every day—from the smiles we create to the way we show up for our community, our patients and each other.

We’re constantly inspired by the heart and action of the families in our Bird Smiles community, and this was one of those moments.
