Oral Hygiene Field Trip


Orthodontic Partners hosted a field trip today in our Sparks office for nine of the most adorable pre-school children. The children practiced how to brush and floss. They also learned what foods are good and bad for their teeth and learned a little bit about orthodontics from Dr. Corbridge. An impression was taken of each child's thumb and poured in plaster for them to take home. If your organization is interested in a field trip to our office, please contact Ann at (775) 825-4804

Brushing with Braces

If you've ever worn braces you know there are more places for food to get caught making brushing, flossing and regular visits to your general dentist more important than ever. Fortunately, Oral-B has made a brush head designed just for patients with braces. The orthodontic brush head works with the Oral-B SmartSeries 5000 electric brush. We have noticed a definite improvement in the oral hygiene of our patients who use the brush. Because of this, Orthodontic Partners is now giving an Oral-B SmartSeries 5000 brush with the orthodontic brush head to all of our patients when they get braces. We've found that patients with good oral hygiene have fewer broken appliances and that leads to shorter treatment times. Nothing makes us happier than for our patients to get the Beautiful Healthy Smile of their dreams.
