Happy Thanksgiving

2011-11-23T13:45:00.001-08:00

On behalf of Dr Feldman and Dr Hoffman (our newest edition to the team!) and the entire team at Arizona Orthodontic Studio - we want to extend our best wishes to you, our patients, referring doctors and families, for a wonderful Thanksgiving.

It's a big food holiday, so be careful what you eat with those braces! If you have any stories or pictures to share with us, we'd encourage you to post them on our Facebook Page

As always, if you know anyone we can help, just let us know. We promise to give them the same quality orthodontic care that we have given you.

We hope that this Thanksgiving and holiday season brings fond memories. Thank you for being part of our family.

Mouthguards Save Faces

2010-02-11T07:09:00.000-08:00

At Arizona Orthodontic Studio, we know how important it is to protect your face. The spring months bring an increase in outdoor activities and a greater chance of damaging your precious mouth and pearly whites. Dr Feldman and our team also know sports-related injuries are common among children. According to the American Association of Orthodontists, 70 percent of parents said their biggest worry is that their child will get hurt while playing sports.

That’s why the team at Arizona Orthodontic Studio are doing our part to spread the word that facial sports injuries can be avoided simply by reminding your kids to wear mouth guards. Ask us—Dr Feldman is also an authorized Under Armour Mouth Guard provider.

In addition, the AAO has provided the following tips for keeping your kids safe on the field. Please remind them to:

• Wear mouth guards during contact sports
• Wear a helmet
• Stretch before and after a game or practice
• Wear protective eye wear
• Wear a face shield to avoid scratched or bruised skin
• Be observant—even as a spectator

All of these can reduce injuries. Only by using a mouth guard and other forms of facial protection can kids with and without braces avoid serious sports injuries. Be sure to avoid mouth guards that custom form to your teeth as these will resist any tooth movements we are trying to achieve. Lastly, please give us a call if you have any questions about mouth guards or your treatment at Arizona Orthodontic Studio.

Arizona's Next Top Smile

2009-01-27T08:05:00.000-08:00

I wanted to write a letter to congratulate the winners of our first "Arizona's Next Top Smile 2009."

In our first year of this contest we had almost 150 entries to be the Top Smile. All of the entries were fantastic and showed off beautiful smiles. They also showed the wonderful personalities of our patients and often showcased our patient's creativity.

From the 150 entries we had local dental offices and their staff narrow the choices to the 40 top smiles. This was extremely difficult for the offices to do becasue there were so many great smiles.

The online voting for the Top Smiles began in November and lasted until December 31. We received almost 900 votes and several clear winners emerged. The person with most votes was Bianca P with over 100 votes! Great job Bianca!

Of the Top Votes we had 8 "Popular Choice" winners that were female and 2 " Popular Choice" male winners. On Saturday, January 10th we had our Top Smiles photo shoot and took almost 500 photos. These photos will showcase our Top Smiles for the 2009 year. You will see smiles on all of our marketing campaigns and throughout the office.

Due to the overwhelming success of this event, we are going to make this an annual contest. Anyone who was not selected to be our top 10 smiles is welcome to enter to be our Top Smiles for 2010. If you are interested in WINNING and being showcased throughout the office and the city as our Top Smile here is some advice from the winners.

- Submit a clear picture with your best smile - not a photo from a camera phone

- Submit the photo early - as soon as the contest begins (8/1/09)

- Get family, friends, and neighbors involved in the voting

- Be creative in getting the word out to vote for you

- Winners mentioned that they used their Facebook and MySpace pages to tell friends to vote

for them

- Parents and brothers and sisters helped with votes by spreading the word at their office and

schools

- Make sure to vote for yourself!!
