With school, clubs, sports, & family commitments, we know that it can be challenging to schedule orthodontic appointments. We ask that follow up appointments are always made while the patient is still in the office. We strive to accommodate everyone's busy schedules and scheduling in advance allows for a larger selection of appointment times. </span><br clear="none" style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><br clear="none" style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Please give us at least 24 hours notice when possible, if you are unable to make your regularly scheduled appointment. Understand that rescheduling appointments are difficult to find similar times because most appointments are made in advance.</span><br clear="none" style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><br clear="none" style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">We hope you have had a wonderful summer and made lots of great memories.</span><br clear="none" style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><br clear="none" style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><strong style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Please email or text us pictures of your summer smiles and they may be featured on Facebook or Instagram:)<br /><br /><br /></strong><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEuHOia5kDjk5z-_mNZtSSixrXg1_lNyvFZqCasUMhS5_SFmrBzc8F1yXP345CLtoNq4YeYK2xnck-mKjKLCcMVMt_NiTqzSBZVNTEq8HikLf7d6p1tABwxvrLGEXFAGqvaSSWtB2aAsq1/s1200/Summer_Memories.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="830" data-original-width="1200" height="221" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEuHOia5kDjk5z-_mNZtSSixrXg1_lNyvFZqCasUMhS5_SFmrBzc8F1yXP345CLtoNq4YeYK2xnck-mKjKLCcMVMt_NiTqzSBZVNTEq8HikLf7d6p1tABwxvrLGEXFAGqvaSSWtB2aAsq1/s320/Summer_Memories.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /></div><br /><p></p>Prose Orthodonticshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10916601049091836789noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8370239764932647766.post-33708019992372285462021-07-01T13:07:00.005-05:002021-07-01T13:07:45.996-05:00<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcCwEoHkdpbcrrvtZk_blXnRwi5dcBo2UvmYljAr1sy_wFqG4COxw0vBSu9JF4iqSbLJfSW5y5NpKE2bAs4-STrymsZtXZsx4daneiV5aBgbC4uAR3iOcPHDnKAjRASzz0YNmyXFIfUaio/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="788" data-original-width="1200" height="263" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcCwEoHkdpbcrrvtZk_blXnRwi5dcBo2UvmYljAr1sy_wFqG4COxw0vBSu9JF4iqSbLJfSW5y5NpKE2bAs4-STrymsZtXZsx4daneiV5aBgbC4uAR3iOcPHDnKAjRASzz0YNmyXFIfUaio/w620-h263/fireworks.jpg" width="620" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"> Keep your braces nice and clean this holiday weekend <br />by following this brushing guide...<br /><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2ZT_jJEpvwCcslEkjtX4BHsIWbaB0O4aoMbqTHLsVumix2lhGBSQsAkNWbLFWz1pDbkttNgXAjHLgDkVpoWaKXgtDGpMXdyx29FjB1h8py8FnTRrAXpf4762ouGpgLTpK2Whsn5rNXEhV/s1080/BRUSHING.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="413" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2ZT_jJEpvwCcslEkjtX4BHsIWbaB0O4aoMbqTHLsVumix2lhGBSQsAkNWbLFWz1pDbkttNgXAjHLgDkVpoWaKXgtDGpMXdyx29FjB1h8py8FnTRrAXpf4762ouGpgLTpK2Whsn5rNXEhV/w413-h413/BRUSHING.jpg" width="413" /></a><br /><br /><br /></div><br /></div><p></p>Prose Orthodonticshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10916601049091836789noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8370239764932647766.post-10300979945517732542021-05-11T14:39:00.000-05:002021-05-11T14:39:05.095-05:00<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSxOVDbsnL6GgDa-N_eGdWEMyIkoiTbSOgesJ120QPgdpSdBzWfIGC915lBnRbv4itw439h49M5bPILXFTStu01P_8TeoXbCKhqE7cK0wpz-1uhMC5HeVaODYZc3uz6okb_Afs6W8V7j2B/s693/text+us.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="377" data-original-width="693" height="260" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSxOVDbsnL6GgDa-N_eGdWEMyIkoiTbSOgesJ120QPgdpSdBzWfIGC915lBnRbv4itw439h49M5bPILXFTStu01P_8TeoXbCKhqE7cK0wpz-1uhMC5HeVaODYZc3uz6okb_Afs6W8V7j2B/w478-h260/text+us.JPG" width="478" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Making your appointments...<br /><br />We ask that you always try to make your next appointment before you leave the office to ensure you are able to choose a time that works best <br />with your schedule.

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="background-color: white; color: #4a4a4a; letter-spacing: 0.28px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.28px;">So whether you’ve got traditional braces or clear aligners, we’ve got the tips to make oral hygiene easy at home.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Cleaning Traditional Braces</span></h4>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4a4a4a; letter-spacing: 0.02em; margin-bottom: 1.75em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There’s a lot of hardware involved with braces and that can pose a unique challenge in making sure your teeth are getting the clean they deserve.</span></div>
<ol style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #7a7a7a; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; margin: 0px auto 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<li style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4a4a4a; font-style: inherit; letter-spacing: 0.02em; margin: 0px 0px 20px 50px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-style: inherit; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Use a soft-bristled toothbrush.</span> Whether it’s manual or electric, having a toothbrush you can count on is the most important tool in your arsenal. Make sure you’re cleaning around the gum line, the tooth surface and around brackets.</span></li>
<li style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4a4a4a; font-style: inherit; letter-spacing: 0.02em; margin: 0px 0px 20px 50px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-style: inherit; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Use an interproximal brush.</span> More commonly known as a “Christmas tree” brush, this handy tool is great for cleaning the spaces between and around the brackets. These brushes are especially helpful for removing stubborn food particles.</span></li>
<li style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4a4a4a; font-style: inherit; letter-spacing: 0.02em; margin: 0px 0px 20px 50px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-style: inherit; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Keep flossing.</span> You might think that just because you have braces, you can’t floss. But you’d be wrong! Flossing is an important daily habit that helps remove plaque, which can give you healthy gums, fewer cavities and fresher breath. Try using a floss threader to make the process easier.</span></li>

Cleaning Clear Aligners</h4>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4a4a4a; letter-spacing: 0.02em; margin-bottom: 1.75em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">While opting for clear aligners might seem like less work, there’s still a very important cleaning routine you’ll need to follow to avoid discoloration and odor.</span></div>
<ol style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #7a7a7a; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; margin: 0px auto 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<li style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4a4a4a; font-style: inherit; letter-spacing: 0.02em; margin: 0px 0px 20px 50px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-style: inherit; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">When you take your aligners out, always rinse them off.</span> This prevents dry saliva and plaque from building up. Cleaning those trays can help protect you from bad breath and cavities.</span></li>
<li style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4a4a4a; font-style: inherit; letter-spacing: 0.02em; margin: 0px 0px 20px 50px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-style: inherit; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Keep your case with you.</span> When taking your aligners out, make sure you always have your case with you. The last thing you want to do is damage or misplace one of your trays. </span></li>
<li style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4a4a4a; font-style: inherit; letter-spacing: 0.02em; margin: 0px 0px 20px 50px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-style: inherit; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Keep your aligners sparkling.</span> The best way to keep your aligners clean and clear is to soak them in either cleaning crystals or in a denture cleaning solution. Soaking helps maintain the crystal clear look of your clear trays, and isn’t that the point?</span></li>
<li style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4a4a4a; font-style: inherit; letter-spacing: 0.02em; margin: 0px 0px 20px 50px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-style: inherit; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Take your aligners out for meals!</span> Never eat or drink anything other than water when you’re wearing your trays. Many foods and drinks can stain and discolor your aligners and you should brush after every meal before putting your trays back in to protect them.</span></li>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><br />This blog was originally posted in 2017...<br /><br />Is it time for a new <a href="http://proseorthodontics.com/braces/#life-after-braces" target="_blank">retainer</a>?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Retainers are an important part of your orthodontic treatment. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">At <a href="http://proseorthodontics.com/" target="_blank">Prose Orthodontics</a>, we recommend lifetime nightly retainer wear </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">after your smile has been corrected through our </span><a href="http://proseorthodontics.com/treatments/#damon-system" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;" target="_blank">Damon Braces</a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> or </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><a href="http://proseorthodontics.com/treatments/#invisalign" target="_blank">Invisalign</a></span><span id="goog_994090025"></span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/"></a><span id="goog_994090026"></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The ligaments and tissues in your mouth need time to adjust to the teeth's new locations and hold them in place. These ligaments are tempted to snap back into their original positions; taking the teeth with them slowly. The retainer ensures that your teeth remain in their new location.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">You will need to call us for a new retainer if yours falls into 1 or more of these categories:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<ol>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It is broken or damaged. Retainers are commonly damaged by getting stepped on, sat on, or chewed up by the family dog.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It is worn our from normal wear. Most retainers last 2-3 years, or possibly much longer with the proper care and maintenance. If you notice discoloration, calcium buildup, distortion, or a loose fit, it may be time for a new one.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It no longer fits correctly. It's your job to minimize movement by wearing your retainer regularly; according to Dr. Prose's instructions. If your teeth shift so much that your retainer doesn't fit right, Dr. Prose may be able to adjust it. If not, it will need to be replaced.</span></li>
</ol>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>New retainer? No impression necessary!</b></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">While packing for a family vacation or summer camp, remember to bring along everything you need to take care for your braces or aligners. Also, if you are in any summer sports make sure to have a mouthguard with you to protect your teeth & braces.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Forgetting to care for your teeth & braces can lead to various dental issues & could prolong your treatment time. When your bags are getting packed make sure you bring along the following:</div>
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Toothbrush </span></li>

</ul>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In <a href="https://proseorthodontics.com/braces" target="_blank">case of an emergency</a> make sure to have contact information for a local orthodontic office near where you will be staying.

<div data-mce-style="text-align: center;" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-align: center;">
<span data-mce-style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Some online orthodontic companies make their treatment sound so easy. Perhaps you take a selfie and/or an impression of your teeth or get your teeth scanned. Next, you receive aligners in the mail and after so many months – straight teeth! Right? What else is there to think about?</span></div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: center;" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-align: center;">
<span data-mce-style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">At <a href="http://www.proseorthodontics.com/" target="_blank">Prose Orthodontics</a> we want you to understand that before you decide to proceed with a direct-to-consumer orthodontic company, the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) believes there are a number of factors and questions you may want to consider. For example, in some instances direct-to-consumer orthodontic companies do not involve the in-person evaluation and/or in-person supervision of your orthodontic treatment by an <a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/dorhu9mrb/image/upload/v1448471519/What_is_an_Orthodontist_Flier-15-.pdf" target="_blank">orthodontist. </a></span><br clear="none" /><br clear="none" /><span data-mce-style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">An in-person evaluation and in-person supervision throughout treatment is very important, because there is more to creating a healthy, beautiful smile than moving the visible portions of your teeth.<br /></span></div>

With spring break right around the corner, people everywhere are looking forward to warmer weather, sleeping late, & plenty of fun! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While vacationing (or staycationing) please try to avoid banned foods - ones that are hard, sticky, chewy, or crunchy. Foods like taffy or nuts can bend or break your wires & brackets, leaving you with poking wires or loose brackets during your vacation. <br /><br />Going to the movies? Avoid popcorn please. This snack can break brackets and bend wires. Headed to a BBQ? Don't eat corn on the cob or meat with bones, like ribs or chicken wings. Corn on the cob can get stuck in your braces and bones in meat can loosen your brackets if you bite down too hard.<br /><br />Even if you eat only approved foods, remember to have wax handy just in case. The wax will help to keep a loose bracket or wires in place until an office visit can be made.<br /><br />Regardless of what your plans are during spring break, remember to choose your foods wisely, keeping in mind your braces & oral health. <br /><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />Invisalign patients - make sure to keep your trays clean - and always brush and floss your teeth too!<br /><br /><img alt="Image result for INVISALIGN SPRING BREAK"
