Stay Cool with a Braces-Friendly Summer Treat!

Summer is here!

Kids and adults alike will now be spending more time outside being active and enjoying the hotter temperatures. What’s better on a hot summer day than a delicious treat that will cool you down after doing something active in the summer sun? Luckily, our friends at the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) have just the thing, Watermelon Sorbet! You can find the complete recipe below:

Watermelon Sorbet

Ingredients
• ¾ cup water
• ¼ cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon lime juice
• 2 to 3 cups watermelon, diced, no seeds or rind

Directions
In a small saucepan, heat the water, sugar, and lime juice on medium high for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Chill this “syrup” at least 20 minutes. In the meantime, place the watermelon chunks in a food processor or blender and liquefy them. Add the chilled syrup to the watermelon puree and blend. Freeze sorbet in an ice-cream maker according to manufacturer’s directions. Serve immediately.

Happy Summer!

SureSmile featured on CNN!

We've blogged about SureSmile treatment at Apple Creek Orthodontics in the past, and today wanted to share with a clip of SureSmile being discussed by Dr. Sanjay Gupta on CNN recently!

In the video, Dr. Gupta profiles Jessica Thompson, a Maryland teen who wasn't all that excited about getting regular, traditional braces - Jessica chose SureSmile as a method of straightening her teeth instead.

Jessica is not alone - more and more people in Appleton are choosing SureSmile as their treatment option, including patients at our office.

With SureSmile treatment at Apple Creek Orthodontics, getting braces sure isn’t what it used to be. Our patients see fantastic results and need fewer office visits with this remarkable technology. They also experience less discomfort and ultimately achieve greater results.

The advantage of SureSmile® at Apple Creek Orthodontist

We hope you're having a relaxing weekend! Our creative staff at Apple Creek Orthodontics have yet to blog about the advantage of SureSmile treatment at our convenient Appleton office, so today we thought we'd share a video about the power of SureSmile treatment. Thanks to state-of-the-art technology, Drs. Tomassetti and Lin can now get a 3-D image inside your mouth that helps them decide exactly how they'd like to align your teeth.

Through the use of SureSmile technology, Drs. Lin and Tomassetti can offer you a "braces experience" that provides shorter treatment times, fewer office visit, less overall discomfort and high-quality results. In fact, your average treatment time with SureSmile is almost 40 percent faster than traditional braces.
