Ask Dr. Norris: Are those rumors about braces true?

Trust us when we say Dr. Norris and our professional team know there are a lot of myths and half-truths floating around these days when it comes to orthodontics (and orthodontists as well). But, before you buy into those myths, we think you should definitely get the facts! Our friends at the American Association of Orthodontists have some great information on the myths and facts of orthodontics, and we definitely encourage you to check them out before settling for rumors about braces!

If you have any questions about orthodontics or your treatment at Stone Oak Orthodontics, please feel free to give us a call at 210.402.3322!

We hope you're having a relaxing Memorial Day weekend!!

This Memorial Day, what are you up to? From Dr. Norris

Memorial Day weekend, a time for Americans everywhere to celebrate freedom and honor the servicemen and women who have paid for the freedoms we continue to cherish, is almost here. Memorial Day is also the unofficial start of summer, and for many people, getting out of town for Memorial Day weekend after being cooped up in the office or classroom brings sweet, sweet relief.

At Stone Oak Orthodontics, we know Memorial Day weekend is ripe for travel. After all, it’s almost time for a season full of vacations, adventures and great memories with family or friends. Whether you are headed to a barbecue, a camping trip, or hitting the great open roads of Texas, Dr. Norris and team would love to hear all about it!

Have a nice and relaxing Memorial Day weekend!

SureSmile in the news again! From Stone Oak Orthodontics

Does the thought of having braces for two whole years bring you down? Our team at Stone Oak Orthodontics understands that one of the biggest concerns for orthodontic patients with braces is the length of their treatment. But you’re in luck, because Dr. Norris specializes in SureSmile, robotic braces that have revolutionized the industry. SureSmile, which combines digital 3-D imaging, has computer-aided treatment planning and customized archwires to straighten teeth about 40 percent faster than traditional braces.

That means less time in braces, fewer office visits, less discomfort and ultimately greater results for you, the patient - all thanks to SureSmile's stunning technology.

This week, CNN's very own Dr. Sanjay Gupta filed a short report on SureSmile, which is becoming quite popular with our patients. We encourage you to check out the video and let us know what you think! Give us a call to learn more about SureSmile or to find out if you might be a candidate.
