The days of middle school and high school "metal mouth" are all but gone, thanks to a host of new, more aesthetic and fashion-conscious options for straightening your teeth. In the "old days," teens that needed orthodontic work were faced with only one option – metal mouth. .But thanks to innovations in technology and the recent wave of celebrities undergoing treatment, orthodontics may be becoming cool. Teenagers today have more options than ever before, from traditional metal braces and colored bands to less noticeable clear and ceramic brackets – or the truly high-tech, removable option Invisalign. Invisalign is a method of straightening teeth using a series of clear, almost invisible, removable Aligners. Invisalign combines the doctor's clinical treatment plan with proprietary 3-D, computer-generated software to make these sets of unique, custom-made Aligners that move teeth in very precise increments.I have been a certified Invisalign Provider since 1999.

Smile for a Lifetime


SCHULMAN STUDY GROUP TO ADOPT SMILE FOR A LIFETIME FOUNDATION

The national board members of Smile for a Lifetime orthodontic foundation are pleased to announce that The Schulman Study Group (SSG) has voted unanimously to adopt Smile for a Lifetime Foundation.

The Schulman Study Group, with membership exclusively by invitation, has developed over the last twenty-five years into a nationally recognized organization of 125 extremely successful orthodontic practices in the US and Canada.

“With the Schulman Study Group’s decision, Smile for a Lifetime Foundation will grow from a collection of a few orthodontists treating dozens of cases per year to an organization that has the ability to spread throughout North America and treat thousands of children in desperate need of orthodontic care,” states Smile for a Lifetime’s national board member Benjamin G. Burris. Burris went on to add, “The Schulman Group’s motto is ‘Success Through Sharing’ and adopting Smile for a Lifetime continues the group’s long history of changing lives one smile at a time.”

I have been a member of the Schulman Study group since 1997 and I am very excited about the Smile for a Lifetime Foundation. We have the potential to make alot of children smile.
