Relax, it's Friday! And you know what that means: Fun fact Friday! Everyone loves fun facts. Fun, fun, fun. The American Association of Orthodontists, or AAO, has come up with some fun facts about orthodontics that Dr. Studebaker and our team at Studebaker Orthodontics thought you might enjoy. Have a fantastic weekend everybody!
• There are nearly 4 million people in orthodontic treatment throughout the United States. Three out of four are younger than 18.
• The first mechanical treatment for correcting irregular teeth was suggested by Gaius Plinius Secundus (A.D 23-79).The American Association of Orthodontists is comprised of more than 12,000 members in the United States, Canada and abroad.
• The time required to complete orthodontic treatment ranges from 12 to 36 months depending on the nature and severity of the problem.
• Of the 160,000 dentists in the United States and Canada, 8,000 are practicing orthodontists.
• The cement that attaches the braces to the teeth is now made with a special fluoride-releasing substance.

• Famous orthodontic patients include: Dr. Joyce Brothers, Hale Irwin, Cher, Diana Ross, Phyllis Diller, Chelsea Clinton, Whoopi Goldberg, Daisy Fuentes and Brandi.
By now, you're probably familiar with our blog process: each week, our creative team at Studebaker Orthodontics blogs about important topics pertinent to orthodontic care and your well-being, including innovative orthodontic techniques Dr. Studebaker offers.
This week, however, we thought we’d step back and ask you, our dear patients and readers: 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 in the coming months? 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!
At Studebaker Orthodontics, no one is "too old" for orthodontic treatment. In fact, we recently read a fascinating statistic: the number of adults getting braces has jumped 24 percent from just 14 years ago! Yes, braces help make your pearly whites strong, healthy and perfectly-aligned, but perhaps another reason for the spike in adult braces is this: people want to look and feel great.
In an age—and society—where looks matter as much as anything, and at a time when evenly-aligned teeth might be the difference between getting a job or a promotion, adults are choosing—wisely, we might add—to invest in orthodontics. Orthodontic treatment with Dr. Studebaker can be successful at any age, and adults especially appreciate the benefits of a beautiful smile.
If you’ve been thinking about getting that perfect smile, Dr. Studebaker would love to have you visit for a consultation. Please give us a call to set one up!
You may remember our team last week blogging about the advantage of wearing a mouth guard when playing sports. Well, this week happens to be a great time for a follow-up. 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. According to the National Youth Sports Safety Foundation, children, high-school athletes and adults will have more than 5,000,000 teeth knocked out in sporting events this year.
For Dr. Studebaker and our staff, that's just simply not acceptable.
The above video contains five ways to ensure the safety of your mouth this spring, courtesy of our friends at the American Association of Orthodontists. If you have any further questions about any of the tips offered in the video, please give us a call at 281-251-9229. Have a great rest of the week and remember to protect your mouth!
At Studebaker Orthodontics we know what it takes to achieve a great smile! Our entire team is trained and experienced in using the most advanced orthodontic techniques including Invisalign & Invisalign Teen, the Damon System, and clear ceramic braces.
We love working with all of our patients! Our practice believes that orthodontic treatment should be a fun, rewarding experience, so we feature in-office contests and incentives to make sure patients enjoy their time with us!
