Back to school with Apple Creek Orthodontics

With many of the schools here in Appleton back in session, Drs. Tomassetti and Lin would like to remind all our patients about the importance of scheduling appointments at Apple Creek Orthodontics in advance this August and September. With school, clubs and sports to consider, we know that it can be challenging to find time to visit our office this fall. In order to accommodate all of our patients' busy schedules, it is important that you plan ahead for your appointments so that we are able to provide you with an appointment time that is convenient for you.

As always, please remember to give us advanced notice if you're unable to make your regularly-scheduled appointment. If we receive enough notice, we might be able to schedule another patient for that time. Feel free to give us a call at 920-738-7600 if you have any questions, or if you'd like to schedule your fall appointment.

Have a great weekend - our staff look forward to seeing you soon! :)

This summer, wear those mouth guards!

With summer here for another six full weeks, our staff at Apple Creek Orthodontics thought this would be a great time to remind all our young athletes in treatment to take care of both their mouth and appliances while participating in contact sports this summer.

Remember, only by using a mouth guard can kids with and without braces avoid serious sports injuries. So the next time you're in for a visit at our convenient Appleton office, be sure to ask us for a mouth guard, and we'll provide one for you! In addition, the American Association of Orthodontists has five quick tips for keeping kids safe during sport activities.

• Wear a helmet
• Stretch before and after a game or practice
• Wear protective eyewear
• Wear a face shield to avoid scratched or bruised skin
• Be observant even as a spectator

We hope you're enjoying your summer, and invite you all to share your summer photos on our Facebook page!
