Connect with the Braces Brigade!

At Apple Creek Orthodontics, we know 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.

We encourage 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 at our Appleton, Wisconsin office if you have any questions about the Braces Brigade or your own orthodontic treatment with Drs. Tomassetti and Lin!

Happy New Year!

What's your New Year's resolution?

The year is almost over, so Drs. Tomassetti and Lin & our team at Apple Creek Orthodontics thought we’d ask: what was memorable about 2010 for you, and what are you most looking forward to in 2011? Do you have a new year's resolution, or any exciting plans for the coming year?

Have a safe and happy New Year, to all our patients, friends, family, and all our dental and medical colleagues in Appleton and surrounding areas.

See you in 2011 everyone!

What is Invisalign, and is it right for me? [Video]

We've discussed Invisalign treatment in the past, and thought we'd share with you a helpful video that walks you through the process of Invisalign a bit "clearer."

The Invisalign system at Apple Creek Orthodontics is a state-of-the-art system of clear, removable aligners that we proudly offer at our Appleton office. We are Certified Invisalign Provider, offering Invisalign for teens and adults.

Here's how it works: You wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move — little by little, week by week — until they have straightened to the final position Dr. Tomassetti has prescribed. You'll visit our office about once every six weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned. Total treatment time averages 9-15 months and the average number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30, but both will vary from case to case.

If you've been wanting to straighten your teeth but are unsure about going through traditional orthodontic treatment, please give us a call to learn if Invisalign is the right option for you!

Happy Holidays everyone!!

What helps you relax at Apple Creek Orthodontics?

Drs. Tomassetti & Lin and our team understand not everyone is always thrilled to see their orthodontist. But at Apple Creek Orthodontics, we strive to bring you the best and most comforting experience at each visit. We’d like to know: What is it about our Appleton office that makes you comfortable or puts you at ease? Is it something about our pleasant environment? Our friendly and professional staff? Is it something about our doctors?

Let us know by posting on Facebook or by giving us a call! Have a wonderful weekend!

Ask Dr. Tomassetti: “I’m 29 – am I too old for braces?”

Great question, and you are absolutely not "too old" for braces! At Apple Creek Orthodontics, nobody is “too old” for braces! In fact, we read a fascinating statistic recently: adults getting braces has actually jumped 24 percent since 1996! Also, one of every five patients in orthodontic treatment nowadays is over the age of 21. Of course, braces help make your teeth stay strong, healthy and become perfectly-aligned. But we’d like you to know orthodontic treatment with Drs. Tomassetti or Lin can be successful at any age, and adults especially appreciate the benefits of a beautiful smile.

In fact, we are proud to offer an adult-friendly option for straightening teeth called Invisalign, which uses a series of invisible, removable and comfortable aligners that no one can tell you're wearing. So, you can smile more during treatment as well as after.

If you’ve been thinking about getting that perfect smile, we would love to have you visit for a consultation at our Appleton, Wisconsin office. Please give us a call at 203-227-6061 to set one up and have a wonderful rest of the week!
