Trick-or-treat, and then visit Dr. Underwood for Treats for Sweets!

Trick-or-treat! In the spirit of October's sweet and spooky holiday, Halloween, Dr. Underwood would like to remind all of our patients that our 3rd annual Treats for Sweets is next week!

The Candy Buy Back event begins next Wednesday, Nov. 3rd in our Powell office and next Thursday, Nov. 4th in our Marysville office. For every pound of candy that is donated, we'll give you $1 and donate $1 to the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation. All candy will be donated to the Dublin Food Pantry.

Don't hesitate to give us a call if you have any questions about the Candy Buy Back program, or if you would like to schedule an appointment with Dr. Underwood. We look forward to seeing all of our patients next week. Happy Halloween!

Underwood Orthodontics supports National Orthodontic Health Month

Can you believe October is already more than halfway over? October happens to be National Orthodontic Health Month, and this month-long event is organized by our friends at the American Association of Orthodontists, or AAO.

Many treats can cause havoc for trick-or-treaters who are going through orthodontic treatment, and these treats may cause damage that could prolong your treatment time. The AAO recommends patients avoid the following Halloween treats, or recipes with these ingredients:

• Caramel
• Nuts
• Popcorn (including un-popped kernels)
• Taffy
• Jelly beans
• Hard pretzels
• Licorice
• Bubblegum
• Taco chips
• Ice

If you happen to damage your braces, please give Dr. Underwood and our staff a call immediately. Typically, small problems can be solved over the phone. Loose brackets or wires can usually be made more comfortable by applying some wax until you can come into our office.

Underwood Orthodontics attends this year's Chicago Invisalign Training

Underwood Orthodontics offers excellence in orthodontic treatment for children and adults, which is why it is important that our doctor and team attends regular educational conferences. Dr. Underwood and two of our clinical assistants, Jamie and Nicole, recently attended an Invisalign Training in Chicago. Jamie and Nicole enjoyed the speaker, Dr. Mark Perelmuter, and they were able to learn several new techniques. We are all very excited about the new products that will be available soon.

For more information on Invisalign and other orthodontic treatment options, we encourage you to schedule a consultation with Dr. Underwood.
