SureSmile does its magic on CNN!

Does the thought of having braces for two full years bring you down? Dr. John White and team understand that one of the biggest concerns for our patients with braces is the length of their orthodontic treatment.

But you’re in luck, because Dr. White specializes in SureSmile, high-tech braces that have been revolutionizing the industry. SureSmile treatment, which combines digital 3-D imaging, has computer-aided treatment planning and customized archwires to straighten teeth about 40 percent faster than traditional braces. SureSmile calculates the exact shape and pattern of the teeth, and the bends and cuts the braces wires, with more accuracy than regular braces.

This week, CNN doctor Sanjay Gupta filed a report on SureSmile and profiled a Maryland teenager named Jessica Thompson, who wasn't really excited about getting traditional braces, and chose SureSmile as her treatment instead. Jessica is not alone - SureSmile is becoming quite popular with our patients at Braces by White.

Dr. White at the AAO Annual Session in D.C.!

At the orthodontic practice of Dr. John White, our greatest goal is to help you achieve a healthier, happier, more confident smile. Dr. White has more than 30 years of experience in orthodontics as a student, teacher, and practitioner. He is a lifelong learner, having spent time as a student, practitioner, and teacher to acquire and share the knowledge, skills, and judgment that directly benefit you, a member of his patient family.

One of the ways Dr. White provides a "complete" orthodontic treatment experience for his patients is by attending important seminars and conferences. One of those important gatherings -- the American Association of Orthodontists' Annual Session in Washington D.C this past weekend -- allows Dr. White to consult with and learn from some of the top orthodontic and dental minds in North America.

The AAO Annual Session is always an educational event that is one of the largest orthodontic conventions in the world - and one that allows Dr. White to stay up-to-date on all the latest technologies and orthodontic treatment options available. This, in turn, allows him to give you, our wonderful patients, the best treatment experience possible.

Besides being a proud member of the AAO, Dr. White is a member of the American Dental Association and the American Board of Orthodontics. If you've got an appointment scheduled with Dr. White soon, he encourages you to ask him about his perspectives on the AAO Annual Session, including what he learned and how continuing education and acquisition of new technology helps him treat you more effectively.
