COVID-19 Patient Update from Dr. Nadine Egger

I know that orthodontic treatment probably isn’t at the front of your mind this week . Who knew that finding hand sanitizer and toilet paper would become a contact sport?! Nonetheless, we want you to know that your health and safety is still our top priority, which is why we are following the recommendations of health and government officials to limit orthodontic treatment to non-elective treatment only .

The attachment template is filled at the patient’s appointment and is stored in a dark, temperature controlled area so that the resin does not harden and set. Once the te...

Good oral hygiene habits are not something you can just do "occasionally". You have to make good habits such as brushing and flossing twice daily. If you don't keep your teeth and gums clean, you will need costly dental treatment later in life. Here are some more tips that will help ensure you keep your gorgeous SMILE for a lifetime. Brush Twice Daily You probably already know that you need to brush your teeth at least twice a day, but lots of people don’t follow this advice. In particular, people forget to brush their teeth at night, which means that the plaque from the day has 8+ hours to build up while you are sleeping. This can result in cavities and gum disease. Brush Thoroughly When you brush your teeth, make sure you brush your tongue and your gums at the same time. This helps to ...
