Fast and efficient. Isn’t that what we want in today’s world? There is a new technology that is now available which can reduce orthodontic treatment times by up to 50%. Acceledent® Aura speeds up the movement of your teeth resulting in less time in braces or other orthodontic treatments, including Invisalign. Patients also report reduced pain and discomfort with Acceledent® Aura. The small, lightweight device provides gentle micro pulses to the teeth which speed up the bone remodeling process. Acceledent® Aura has been featured on The Doctors and multiple media outlets nationwide. Here are a few reports that you can review and even one from CNN saying that Acceledent® is the newest product for 2014. http://youtu.be/iZVT3FfKeFk?t=1s We want to offer all of the most up to date treatment options for our wonderful patients!

Skin Protection
Categories: Brace Yourself Blog
Spring has arrived at last! So outside we go to watch our kids on the athletic fields. Please remember to apply sunscreen to your exposed skin to prevent skin damage. SPF 30 and above is the best to reduce the risk of future skin cancers. Remember that skin damage due to sun exposure is cumulative so it is especially important to apply sunscreen to your children. It is probably wise to choose a sunscreen that stays on well with perspiration and swimming. I prefer sunscreen that contains zinc oxide. For example, Neutrogena Sensitive Skin, which can be purchased at any local Target for under ten dollars. Pools will be opening soon so let’s get ready and purchase the sunscreen now!
