Brodsky Orthodontics, supporting National Smile Month

Now that we’re in June, Drs. Charles and Joel Brodsky and team thought we’d tell you June is National Smile Month, and a good time to remind all our patients to practice good oral hygiene between your visits to our office.

Below are a few simple steps you can take to improve your oral health so that you may celebrate National Smile Month for many, many years to come:

* Brush at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste. Here's a helpful video showing you how to brush with your braces on.
* Floss everyday to clean between your teeth.
* Reduce your intake of sugary foods and drinks during your orthodontic treatment with Drs. Charles and Joel Brodsky.
* Visit your dentist regularly (usually every six months apart).

If you have questions about any of these tips, we encourage you to give us a call at (562) 496-2000. We hope you enjoyed the long holiday weekend!

Brodsky Orthodontics at the AAO Annual Session!

To better serve Lakewood and surrounding communities -- Bellflower, Long Beach, Cerritos and others -- with highest quality orthodontic care available, Drs. Joel and Charles are committed to to staying at the forefront of the field of orthodontics and accomplish this by attending continuing education courses and conferences all over the country.

One of these conferences is the AAO Annual Session, and through Tuesday, Drs. Joel and Charles are in Washington D.C. attending the Annual Session, an always-educational event that happens to be one of the largest orthodontic conventions in the world. It's also a time for us to rub elbows and consult with orthodontists from around the country and stay up-to-date on all the latest technologies and orthodontic treatment options available. This, of course, allows Drs. Joel and Charles to give you, our great patients, the best treatment experience possible.

If you've got an appointment scheduled with us in the coming weeks, we invite you to ask us about our trip, including what we learned and how continuing education and acquisition of new technology helps us treat you more effectively!

Anyone can have braces! From Brodsky Orthodontics

It's true: Tom Cruise had braces. Not when he was a pimply-faced teenager. No - just 8 years ago! During this time, he was 40 years old and filmed Minority Report, Austin Powers in Goldmember and the Last Samurai. Just check out his smile in Jerry Maguire, Rain Man or The Firm and compare to the post-braces Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder or Valkyrie! The fact is, movie stars need to look their best for the silver screen, and it wouldn't be possible without orthodontists like Drs. Joel and Charles Brodsky.

In fact, plenty of Hollywood stars have had orthodontic treatment. Check out this slideshow of famous faces. If you’ve thought about getting the perfect smile you’ve always wanted, please give Brodsky Orthodontics a call at (562) 496-2000.
