Imagine your new smile with the Brace Painter!

Braces at Alexander and Alexander Orthodontics are more fun than ever! With the Brace Painter, parents and children are able to “paint their braces,” and visualize how teeth will look with different colors of bands.

Would you like to try out pink and purple bands this February, without the commitment of an all-out Valentine’s Day look? The Brace Painter allows for you to select different colors, and then assign those colors of bands to certain teeth. Now, you can visualize your braces before you even come in for your appointment!

As always, please let Drs. Alexander know if you have any questions about the Brace Painter, or your orthodontic treatment at Alexander and Alexander Orthodontics. Have a great week!

Share your smile with the Braces Brigade!

At Alexander and Alexander Orthodontics, our patients want to get as much out of their treatment as possible. That includes asking a lot of questions and making sure they take care of both their appliances and oral health.

Would you like to learn more about what to expect during orthodontic treatment, from someone with firsthand experience? Well, our friends at the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) recently developed the Braces Brigade blog, where past, present, as well as future orthodontic patients from coast to coast document their (or their child’s) orthodontic journeys. The blog will serve as a source of guidance for others as the patients undergo orthodontic care.

Our team at Alexander and Alexander Orthodontics encourages you to visit the Braces Brigade blog to read these great and informative blogs—who knows, maybe you’ll learn a thing or two! As always, don’t hesitate to give us a call if you have any questions about the Braces Brigade or your own orthodontic treatment with Drs. Alexander!

Alexander and Alexander Orthodontics supports "Dentistry With A Heart"

In February, Drs. Alexander and local Dallas and Coppell, TX dentists volunteer to do a day of free dentistry for those in need. This will be our second annual "Dentistry With A Heart" event, and it will be held on the Friday before Valentine's Day.

Our team at Alexander Orthodontics actively supports our community, and is looking forward to the "Dentistry With A Heart" event. While the event is a lot of work, the appreciation that we see in the eyes of the patients warms our hearts, and has all of the dentists and volunteers saying that they can't wait to "do it again next year." It is a day of many blessings.

Flossing 101

Here is a very concise video explaining the proper way to floss your teeth. Many people think that flossing is only to get the food out from in between your teeth, when actually flossing should be done every day on every tooth to help protect your teeth, gums, and braces.

Please give us a call if you have any questions about using a floss threader or flossing with braces.
