A member of our team at Coolsmiles Orthodontics found a great video that discusses the advantages of Invisalign. In the video, Kimberley Clayton Blaine, “The Go-To Mom,” discusses the Invisalign and Invisalign Teen treatment and her personal experience with Invisalign.

I was drinking a grande latte the other day in Starbucks while reading one of my orthodontic research journals.  I came across an article that I thought might interest you.  It was a study done at the University of Michigan to evaluate the attitudes of how the public judges people with uncorrected orthodontic problems.  Whether we think it is fair or not, the public makes a variety of assumptions.  They rated photos of adults with malocclusions to be not only less attractive, but less intelligent, less conscientious and less approachable.  The 889 respondents also stated that they would be less likely to interact with them in both personal and professional settings.

Braces and Invisalign, Medford and Port Jefferson,NY

We recently had a staff meeting to discuss the topic of customer (patient) service.  As we enter our thirty-third year in business, it is a time to reflect on how we grew our practice.  Although professional referrals (dentists) are still a major influence on how parents/patients select our office for their care, word of mouth patient-to-patient recommendations continue to be the fastest growing reason for our success. Our appreciation of that is sincere and heartfelt and we thank you!

Parents are often very confused when their family dentist refers their child to our office at a young age (ages 6-10).  They know that their child still has lots of baby teeth and are expecting us to recommend braces.  They are concerned that it is too early for braces and that it may be a waste of time and money.  While it is true that we rarely recommend braces at this age, it is very important to get an early orthodontic evaluation.

The Smile Rescue Fund for Kids Helps Children Too Severe for Treatment by Established Charitable Organizations

Port Jefferson, NY – Long Island orthodontist Leon Klempner today announces the launch of The Smile Rescue Fund for Kids, an organization he founded to provide funding to children born with severe facial and craniofacial deformities. These children have such significant challenges that they cannot be helped by their families, governmental agencies and currently established charitable organizations.

Facial deformities result in many challenging medical issues, including feeding problems, hearing loss, unintelligible speech and recurrent ear infections. But the social and psychological consequences that result are just as devastating. The stigma of looking and sounding different leads to a very difficult and lonely life. Often, peers, communities and even relatives shun lovable and loving children, ashamed of their appearance and speech and powerless to affect positive change. Some are hidden away in locked rooms, deprived of education, medical care and any socialization with the outside world.

Halloween is a fun time of year for kids of all ages… but can be a “nightmare” for an orthodontic practice if patients are damaging appliances eating the wrong treats. 

At Coolsmiles, we love Halloween!!  However, we also are proactive educating parents and patients of the potential hazards that can occur if orthodontic patients don’t watch what they eat.
