Everyone wants after school appointments.
We do understand!
However, it is impossible for any business mainly focused on the care of young people to see all patients after school.
We've managed this longstanding problem by requiring alternate appointments.
One month the patient will be given an appointment after school and the next month they will have a morning appointment.
Any time after 2:30 pm is considered an after school appointment.
We will work with each patient to arrange appointments so that he/she will not miss a major subject.

You can eat any time after leaving our office; however, we ask that you be mindful of the suggested eating list for food that may be harmful to braces.
Until you become accustomed to eating with your new braces, you may find it beneficial to follow a diet consisting of soft foods.
Initially, the braces feel like they 'stick out.'
This feeling is normal.
As you become accustomed to your braces and your tooth alignment improves, this sensation will cease to be a concern.
