This time of year we love to see the glittering lights of the Christmas season. Many of us are out and about finding that special gift for the ones we love. Children are watching Christmas shows on TV and eating all kinds of goodies. One of my favorite movies is Rudolph the red nosed reindeer. In the movie there is an elf who wants to be a dentist and he and Rudolph ran away together. They meet up with a miner and the sing the song silver and gold. This make me think of dental work. It also makes me think of orthodontics. Many of our patients don’t know that we do orthodontics here in our office.  We love to see our patients in braces. I am asked at what age should we start orthodontics (braces). The best time is when you are young that way we can use growth to improve the overall results and decrease the need to remove teeth to create that amazing smile for you and your family. If you are thinking about putting braces on give us a call and set up a free consultation.  I look forward to seeing you this Christmas season.
