What is your New Year’s Resolution?

The 2010 holiday season is upon us, and our team at Hodgkins Orthodontics would like to wish all our patients and their families the merriest of holidays and best wishes for the New Year.

We thought we’d ask: what was memorable about 2010 for you, and what are you 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, from all of us at Hodgkins Orthodontics!

In this season given to tidings of comfort and joy, and as the team at Hodgkins Orthodontics reflects on the year that was, we’d like to ask you, our wonderful patients: What do you love about the holidays this year? Being with your loved ones? A clean slate for 2011? Opening presents by the fireplace? All the delicious food? Also, what is your favorite holiday song?

We’d love if you shared with us all the things you love about the holidays on our Facebook page. Stay warm, and don’t forget to stay away from those sweets!

Hodgkins Orthodontics announces the winner of our iPad Video Contest

Dr. Hodgkins and our team would like to thank all of our patients who participated in our iPad Video Contest. We were overwhelmed by the amazing feedback that we received from patients on our social networks and in the office.

Hodgkins Orthodontics delayed the announcement of our contest winner, so that we could surprise them in person. This week, we are proud to announce that Chase is the lucky winner of a brand new iPad. Congratulations Chase!

Patient Question: Can I benefit from braces?

Braces aren’t just for pre-adolescents and teenagers anymore! Dr. Hodgkins will tell you that anyone, at any age, can benefit from orthodontic treatment, whether it’s correcting a problem not treated in your younger years, or catching a problem early.

To ensure the best overall treatment, the American Association of Orthodontists, or AAO, recommends that children receive an orthodontic consultation as early as age seven. If a problem is evident, taking action early can spare a lot of treatment and expense down the road.

If you never received orthodontic treatment when you were young, don’t worry! You’re never too old for a beautiful smile. Set up an appointment for a consultation and find out how orthodontics will transform your smile, as well as your life!
