ADULT ORTHODONTICS ON THE RISE

Orthodontists are seeing more and more reasons for the growing acceptance of braces among adults.
Braces can be more affordable because insurance coverage for orthodontic work is on the rise. Technology has advanced us to an orthodontic world where braces are more comfortable and amazingly discrete. Treatment times are shorter and fewer office visits are needed.

THERE IS NOW AN EVER-INCREASING PRESSURE TO LOOK ONE'S BEST

Whether we like it or not, we are often judged by our appearance. Many adults are concerned about how their smile might affect their chances for employment or advancement in an ever increasing competitive job market. Many adults are reentering the dating scene and are looking for a more attractive, youthful appearance.

Keeping a youthful appearance and having a healthy oral environment, makes the demand for adult braces contagious! 

Just as bone density decreases with age throughout our bodies, the bones in our mouths lose density and shift with age. Teeth also shift due to wear and changing pressures in the mouth. Adults who wore braces as children sometimes need to return for orthodontic treatment in midlife or later, especially if they aren't diligent about wearing their retainers and their teeth shift out of alignment.

At Statler Orthodontics you are given several options to treat your adult orthodontic needs. Dr. Statler is always educated on the latest technological advances in the orthodontic field, to be able to best serve you with customized treatment planning for your specific needs.

Unlike the days when braces were 'tightened down' with stiff wires, today's braces use a more flexible, lighter weight wires. These wires are custom-designed to fit the mouth of each patient and they have shape memory so they don't require frequent adjustments. This allows for longer time between appointments and doesn't impact our work schedule or social lives very much at all. We also offer Invisalign treatment to many of our adult patients who are candidates for these amazing invisible braces.

Come in to Dr. Jennifer Statler for your FREE adult orthodontic consultation. The benefits can and will affect the health of your teeth for a lifetime. 

TAKING EXTRA PRECAUTIONS DURING COLD AND FLU SEASON

DO GERMS REALLY LIVE ON MY TOOTHBRUSH???

The dreaded cold and flu season is here again! After recovering from your cold, one of the most important steps you can take to avoid becoming reinfected is replacing your toothbrush!

Germs can linger on the bristles, and you risk prolonging your sickness by continuing to use the same toothbrush. Be smart – keep a spare, just in case! To protect your toothbrush from bacteria all year long, consider the following tips:

• Wash your hands before and after brushing
• Allow the brush to air dry after each use, harmful bacteria dies after being exposed to oxygen
• Store the toothbrush in an upright position to allow water to drain and dry faster
• Replace your toothbrush every 3-4 months. Worn bristles are less effective in properly cleaning your teeth, and can actually be damaging to teeth if used too long!

We hope these tips help! Feel free to give us a call or ask us on Facebook

Each of us know someone or have ourselves heard the doctor say the words 'YOU HAVE BREAST CANCER' It's devastating to everyone!
Participating in the 'Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk' will be a powerful and inspiring opportunity to unite our community to honor breast cancer survivors, and raise awareness about things that we ourselves can do to reduce our risk of getting this despicable disease!
The event helps raise money to aid the American Cancer Society to fight the disease with breast cancer research, information and services, and helps access mammograms for women who need them.

The Journey to end breast cancer starts with a single step! Join the Statler Orthodontic Team in the upcoming local event :    Mizner Park Amphitheater
