Fall into a smile

Did you know that October is Orthodontic Health Month?

According to the American Association of Orthodontists, it is recommended that children receive an initial orthodontic consultation by the age of seven.

At Garland Orthodontics, we specialize in braces for both children and adults. We use the latest orthodontic technology and cutting edge types of braces to provide the highest quality of care for the patients.

Here are tips for you to help maintain your healthy, beautiful smile:

  • Visit your dentist every six months for a routine teeth cleaning.

  • Brush and floss after every meal.

  • If you have braces, avoid sticky, chewy and hard foods that may damage or break your braces and extend the length of your treatment.

  • Remember that adults can benefit from orthodontic treatment too; healthy teeth can be moved at almost any age.
