Back to school is a psychological, mental and sometimes FINANCIAL new beginning.  Many times orthodontic treatment has been recommended , but delayed due to financial reasons.  We can provide some real flexibility with initial down payments, monthly payments, insurance copays, and health flex accounts.  There is never interest charged and retainers, retainer checks and other perks thrown in . Call us for a complementary exam!

With job market rebound of late, investment in ourselves for confidence, apperance and marketability from an employment competition standpoint is skyrocketing.  Nothing shows your " winning spirit " better than a beautiful bold smile.  Now is the time to get on the team!

Holidays and new braces!  Why is it possibly the best time to start orthodontic treatment?  Its the best time for a number of reasons. Starting around Halloween there are a number of days off from school including fall breaks, teacher retreats, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, and Hannukah and Christmas as well. This is not the complete list however, these days allow a new patient to experience the braces or appliance being applied for the first time and also have a day off from school to get used to them with the rest of the family. This is significant.  In addition the end of the football, field hockey and soccer seasons are also a benefit to the new orthodontic patient at this time of year. These sports are " mouth guard intensive".  They must be worn to be allowed to play. Biting incorrectly or shoving the mouth guard in without care can lead to broken braces.  This can be a little discouraging.  Now is a great time for that complimentary new patient visit.

Summer in Frederick is hot weather, Keys Baseball and new braces. Yes, summer is the time when many families and patients begin the time honored process of Orthodontic treatment. Clear Braces, bright new colors and almost totally invisible retainers are as hot as the sun this summer. Monthly payment plan with low initial down payments and no-interest on monthly payments, insurance participation discounts, and flex-spending help to get things started.

I have been personally involved with the National Football League players association since my playing days in 1981. This organization has evolved from a predominately players union rights advocacy group to what is new a powerful volunteer community social projects effort. The specific group is called the Former Players Committee and is headed by Cal Snowden. Former Redskins great Brigg Owens has been a force in establishing government and community partnerships with the DC Chapter. Projects include housing for wounded war veterans, high school essay scholarships and concussions/depression evaluations for retired players. Many other initiatives are evolving. See my recent tweet for video of our "Redskins Legends Meet and Greet" at the American Tap Room, Arlington VA, June 18th, featuring former greats Ron McDole, Clearance Vaughn, Virgil Seay, Larry Brown, Pat Fisher and many others.
