The number one goal of orthodontic treatment is to give you or your child a good bite, meaning straight teeth that work well with the teeth in the opposite jaw. A good bite makes it easier for you to eat, chew, and speak. It can enhance your dental health and your overall health, and may well improve your self-esteem. As a part of your comprehensive dental health care plan, orthodontic treatment can help you retain you teeth—and your smile—for a lifetime.

Let your smile express yourself! Nothing can show the world how happy you are quite like a beautiful smile. In fact, it’s one of the first things others notice about you, too. With orthodontics, you can be proud to flash your smile, because you’ll know that your smile truly represents your positive attitude.

Make your mouth healthy! Straight teeth aren’t just pretty, they’re healthy as well. Teeth that are properly aligned are easier to clean, reducing the amount of plaque buildup and risk for gingivitis. The cleaner you keep your teeth, the longer they’ll last!

Feel free to live your life! Orthodontics is easier today than ever before, with treatment options that fit your lifestyle and schedule. From clear braces to removable aligners and totally invisible lingual (behind the teeth) braces, we can personalize your treatment to suit all your needs.

Most everyone knows that Dr. Dale Fehr is the owner of Skate City, our local roller skating rink. But, do you know that being a patient of his entitles you to a Free Summer Pass at Skate City? With this pass, you can enjoy a summer full of fun, skating and playing laser tag for free! How great is that??

At your next appointment, ask for your free summer pass or stop in the office and pick one up! The passes are good through September 30, 2012. Additionally, if you have any questions about this summer pass or your orthodontic treatment, feel free to give us a call or ask us on Facebook!

Visiting your dentist during your orthodontic treatment will not only help keep your teeth and mouth healthy while you have braces, but will also help keep the rest of your body healthy. The fact is, every hour of every day in the U.S., someone dies of oral cancer, which is the sixth-most common diagnosed form of the disease. The five-year survival rate is only 50 percent, and oral cancer is one of the few cancers whose survival rate has not improved. Since April is Oral Cancer Awareness Month, we would like to take this opportunity to remind all of our patients about the importance of maintaining good oral hygiene while you’re undergoing orthodontic treatment.

Your dentist is specifically trained to diagnose, treat, and prevent oral health problems. Please let us now if you have any questions about your oral health during your next adjustment appointment. Take care of your teeth!

Our current contest at Fehr Orthodontics is the "Wristband Contest!" The contest is simple: we attach a wristband with "Fehr Orthodontics" on it to our patients and all they have to do wear it until their next appointment without removing it.

At their next appointment, we remove the wristband and enter the patient into a drawing for $50! Lot of patients have already won $50...will you be next?

If you have any questions about this contest or your orthodontic treatment, give us a call or ask us on Facebook!
