Dr. White and his team at Braces by White would like to point you to a few interesting webisodes about orthodontics we came across recently. The American Association of Orthodontics, or AAO, has a YouTube page where they post some pertinent videos about orthodontic treatment, and the new technology in orthodontics. These include "Orthodontic Treatment Basics," "Common Bite Problems Seen in Children" and "Does My Child Need Braces?"
The holiday season is upon us, and as the team at Braces by White reflect on the year that was, we’d like to ask: What’s your favorite part about the holidays? Being with your loved ones? Opening presents by the fireplace? All the delicious food? Also, what gift are you most looking forward to getting this year?
Braces by White, serving Hudson, Northfield Center and surrounding areas, has been receiving some great patient reviews lately! Check out what our current patients are saying about Dr. White and team!
