Today, we have advanced technology and techniques that make getting braces or other orthodontic treatments easier and more effective than ever before. So let's celebrate this month by taking care of our pearly whites and appreciating all the amazing work that orthodontists do for us.
Encourage your friends and family to take care of their orthodontic health by starting a "Smile Challenge". Set a goal for everyone to floss and brush their teeth twice a day for the entire month and see who can stick to it!
Gather your friends with braces and have a potluck with foods that are easy on braces, like soft pasta dishes or mashed potatoes. This is a great way to celebrate National Orthodontic Health Month while also enjoying some delicious food.
Show your appreciation for your orthodontist by creating a gratitude board in their office. Encourage other patients to write notes of thanks and display them on the board throughout the month.
Partner with your local orthodontist to organize a workshop on proper braces care. This is a great way to educate others on the importance of taking care of their orthodontic health and to celebrate National Orthodontic Health Month.
