In this season given to tidings of comfort and joy, and as our team at Braces by White reflect on the year that was, we’d like to ask you, our wonderful patients and readers: 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 gift are you most looking forward to getting this year?

With Thanksgiving almost upon us, it's a great time to ask ourselves what we're thankful for. With our friends and family around us, we celebrate the blessings given to us in the past year. What are you thankful for this holiday season?
For those who don't know, October marks National Orthodontic Health Month. Our friends at the AAO put together a helpful website that provides important information on protecting your braces, including tips for trick-or-treaters, braces-friendly recipes, facts about braces and treats you should avoid while undergoing orthodontic treatment.
Announcing our new patient contest! Now through October 31st, we’re asking you to post a professional photo of yourself to Dr. White’s Facebook Wall and ask your friends to “Like” your photo!
At Dr. John White's office, our greatest goal is to help you achieve a healthier, happier, more confident smile. Serving Northfield, Hudson, Twinsburg, Brecksville and Macedonia, we believe in building strong relationships with our patients in order to create a more personal and rewarding orthodontic experience.
With National Smile Week upon us, Dr. White wanted to remind you all to keep smiling during your orthodontic treatment! After all, people with big, happy smiles may actually out-live those who don’t, according to study conducted this year at Wayne State University in Michigan.
With summer only weeks away, some of us at Braces by White have been thinking more and more about the importance of summer reading. Sure it’s easier for kids to go play ball or kick back and watch television, but our staff will tell you that reading during the summer is a key step in being prepared for classes in the fall.
Now that we’re in June, Dr. John White thought this would be a great time to remind our patients that June is National Smile Month, and a great time to remind all our patients to practice good oral hygiene between your visits to our office. After all, a person's smile outranked eyes, hair and body as the most important physical feature, according to our friends at the American Dental Association.
No - absolutely not. At the orthodontic office of Dr. John C. White, no one is "too old" for braces. Orthodontic treatment can be successful at any age, and adults especially appreciate the benefits of a beautiful smile. In fact, one of every five patients in orthodontic treatment is over 21 and - not only that - but our staff recently read a statistic that the number of adults getting orthodontic treatment has actually climbed 24 percent since 1996! 
Whether lending your helping hand to plant trees or grasses or getting out to volunteer in various projects in Northfield, Hudson, Twinsburg, Brecksville, and Macedonia, today was our opportunity to get involved in making our year-round impact in the community. Dr. White wants to know: Did you make a difference today? Tell us, what Earth Day-related activities did you accomplish? How long have you participated in helping our community and planet?
From the very first time you visit Braces by White, our team strives to provide superior treatment in a pleasant, friendly atmosphere.

Great news to report this Monday! People with big, happy smiles may actually out-live those who don’t, according to a recent study conducted at Wayne State University in Michigan this month.
We've blogged about the advantage of wearing a mouth guard when playing sports, and we thought a reminder wouldn’t hurt. You see, April happens to be National Facial Protection Month, and it’s a good time to remind our young athletes about staying safe on the field this spring. 
Week after week, our team writes a blog about important topics pertinent to orthodontic care and your well-being, including innovative orthodontic techniques Dr. White offers. This week, we thought we’d step back and ask you, our amazing patients: what’s on your mind? What would you like to know about the always-changing field of orthodontics? What would you like us to focus on our blog? Perhaps there’s something you’ve wanted to ask us for a while now? Let us know by posting here or on our interactive Facebook fan page!
If you recently completed treatment at Braces by White, we’d like to congratulate you! Now that your braces have been removed, Dr. John White will provide you with retainers. After braces are removed the teeth can shift out of position if they are not stabilized. Retainers provide that stabilization. They are designed to hold teeth in their corrected, ideal positions until the bones and gums adapt to the treatment changes. Wearing retainers exactly as instructed is the best insurance that the treatment improvements last for a lifetime. Here are some things to remember when you receiver your retainers from Dr. White:
It's almost that time of year again: springtime. The daffodils and buttercups are ready to be picked, the birds are chirping, the sun is warming up and the smell of freshly-cut grass is wafting from baseball fields nearby. Today, Dr. John White and our professional team thought this would be a good time to ask: What are your plans for March?
Dr. White and our team deliver the highest quality orthodontic care in a personalized environment here in Hudson and Northfield Center. At Braces by White, we strive to make orthodontic treatment fun and enjoyable. Just see what our patients have to say!
Who loves fun facts? Most people. Who loves orthodontic facts? Everyone. The American Association of Orthodontists, or AAO, has come up with some fun facts about orthodontics that Dr. John C. White and the staff at Braces by White thought you might enjoy. Have a terrific weekend!
Who needs ugly and uncomfortable ties or elastics that apply pressure and friction on the teeth? With the free-sliding technology of the In-Ovation lingual braces, your mouth is free of pain and discomfort. In addition, because lingual braces are fastened to the back of the teeth, the braces are completely hidden. In-Ovation braces are a great alternative for people concerned about the look of traditional braces.
With the intense weather conditions in Ohio the next few days, Dr. White and our entire team here at Braces by White thought it would be a good time to remind you, our amazing patients (and parents) to be safe when out and about.
Are you brushing your teeth twice a day? If yes, that’s terrific! But, don’t forget that it’s also important for you to visit the dentist every six months in addition to brushing your teeth a couple times a day (and coming in to see Dr. White, of course). Regular dental checkups are important for maintaining good oral health. 
BRRRR! It may still be chilly here in Ohio (30 degrees today!), but can you believe we’re only a couple of months away from spring? Dr. John C. White and the team at Braces by White want to know: What are you doing in January? What have you accomplished this year? Are you keeping up with your New Year’s Resolution? Any big mid-winter break plans? Anything exciting going on in your life?
Many parents assume they must wait until a child has all of his or her permanent teeth to visit Dr. White, only to find that treatment would have been much easier if started earlier. Consequently, the American Association of Orthodontists recommends that every child have an orthodontic check-up no later than age seven.
Dr. White knows image is everything. At an age when image is so important, the thought of having metal brackets and wires constantly attached to teeth may intensify the already-delicate confidence of today's teens. But... not to worry! There is a clear alternative to traditional braces! The team at Braces by White thought we'd remind you that Invisalign Teen™ gives you a whole new way to wear braces for a "clearly" amazing smile!
