More exciting patient contests at Parker Orthodontics!

Our staff at Parker Orthodontics would like to inform you of two exciting patient contests under way: The first is our “Teacher Appreciation” Contest. We ask our patients to write a paragraph on why they feel their teacher deserves an A+. The team gets together and picks a few of their favorites (5-6) and then the winning patients get a pizza party for their whole class. Team members make a fun event of the party, bringing pop (caffeine free), pizza, goodies and practice handouts, etc… The kids love it and of course the teachers think it is the best!

We're also running our annual “Where in the World” contest. We put up a huge World map in the clinic and ask our patients to send in postcards and/or email us photos of themselves on vacation or just in the neighborhood, and then we attach them to the map. Anyone who participates is entered into a drawing for gift certificates and the grand prize winner receives a 4 pack to the local water park. This contest is so much fun, because everyone gets to enjoy the cards and pictures!

Give us a call or stop by if you'd like to participate! We look forward to seeing you!

Dr. Collins, helping you save face this spring

April - which is National Facial Protection Month - is almost gone, but not before Dr. Collins and team remind all our young athletes in orthodontic treatment to play it safe when out on the field. After all, nearly 60,000 people injure their faces annually while participating in sports activities, and teenagers account for 80 percent of all sports-related trips to the emergency room.

Here are a few ways to ensure your mouth’s safety this spring, courtesy of the American Association of Orthodontists:

1. Wear mouth guards for contact sports such as baseball, softball, soccer and lacrosse.
2. Wear a helmet
3. Wear protective eyewear
4. Wear a face shield to avoid scratched or bruised skin
5. Be alert, even as a spectator

We hope these tips help. Dr. Collins will tell you protective gear is vital for anyone engaging in tooth or mouth-threatening activities. If you have any further questions about any of these tips, please contact Parker Orthodontics. And remember to stay safe and have fun!

Ask Dr. Collins: Is Invisalign® for me?

Part of what makes Invisalign really "sing" is that clear aligners are customized for pretty much anyone's mouth. To find out if you are the right candidate for Invisalign treatment, the first thing Dr. Collins does is take an impression of your teeth and digitizes it. Using special software, he looks at the current positioning of your teeth and compares it to the way your teeth should look.

Next we use special software to map out the exact path your teeth will take from the beginning of your treatment to the end. Based on the results, a set of custom aligners are created just for your pearly whites. Throughout the course of treatment, you will be required to wear these clear, removable aligners one at a time; each one moving your teeth closer and closer to their final, perfectly aligned position. The best thing about it all? No one around you will even know you are wearing braces!

Dr. Jeffrey Collins is a certified Invisalign provider in the greater Denver area. If you have questions about Invisalign, or would like to find out if you are a candidate for Invisalign treatment at Parker Orthodontics, please give us a call.

Ask Dr. Collins: Who benefits from braces?

Braces aren’t just for pre-adolescents and teenagers anymore! Dr. Jeff Collins will tell you that anyone, at any age, can benefit from orthodontic treatment, whether it’s correcting a problem not treated in your younger years, or catching a problem early.

To ensure the best overall treatment, the American Association of Orthodontists, or AAO, recommends that children receive an orthodontic consultation as early as age seven. If a problem is evident, taking action early can spare a lot of treatment and expense down the road.

With state-of-the-art technology in a comfortable, friendly environment, we look forward to helping you achieve the beautiful, confident smile you have always wanted. Dr. Collins and our team are committed to providing you with an outstanding orthodontic experience. If you never received orthodontic treatment when you were young, don’t worry! At Parker Orthodontics, you’re never too old for a beautiful smile. Set up an appointment for a consultation and find out how adult orthodontics will transform your smile, as well as your life!
