A lot can change in 19 months 👏

When Eva started treatment, her smile had a narrow upper arch, crowding, a posterior open bite, and high canines. Over the course of 19 months, we worked to create balanced upper and lower arch forms, bring her canines into their proper position, and improve her overall bite.

Now, her teeth are beautifully aligned and working together the way they should. Congratulations, Eva, on a fantastic result! 🎉

💬 What’s your favorite part of a before-and-after transformation: straighter teeth, a better bite, or both?

Come see us tomorrow while we kick off summer with some fun giveaways at the Cranberry Township Waterpark! We can’t wait to see your smiling faces!!😎☀️⛱️

It’s time for another yummy recipe that’s both delicious and that plays well with your braces.

For our soup lovers, we’ve found an amazing slow-cooked butternut squash soup that’s soft, smooth, and packed with flavor. 😋

It’s a great choice for sensitive teeth, and it’s also an easy weeknight win. Just prep, let the slowcooker do its thing, and enjoy!

🫒 1 tablespoon olive oil
🧅 1 large onion, chopped
🧄 2 garlic cloves, minced
🎃 1 medium butternut squash, peeled & cubed
🥔 1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, cubed
🌿 2 teaspoons fresh thyme or ¾ teaspoon dried thyme
🧂 1 teaspoon salt
⚫ ¼ teaspoon pepper
🥣 5 to 6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
🥄 Sour cream, optional

Here’s how to make it:

1️⃣ Sauté onion in olive oil for 4–5 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 more minute.
2️⃣ Transfer to a 6-quart slow cooker. Add squash, potatoes, thyme, salt, pepper, and 5 cups of broth.
3️⃣ Cook on low for 6–8 hours, until the vegetables are soft.
4️⃣ Puree until smooth with an immersion blender, adding more broth as needed.
5️⃣ Serve warm and top with sour cream if you’d like.

Remember to save this post for a tasty soup that pairs great with braces!

Wow, what a change! Congratulations, Anne, on the beautiful new smile! 🥰

When Anne came to us with severe crowding, an excessive overbite, a narrow upper arch, and slanted side-front teeth, she just wanted to feel good about her smile.

Now, with her treatment completed just in time for both her birthday and prom, the results really speak for themselves! 🎉 We couldn’t be prouder of Anne for finishing treatment!

Share this post with someone who’s on the fence about treatment to encourage them to make the most of their smile!

Last week Dr. Rhoads had the opportunity to present at the Mars Centennial Career Fair. She got to share her passion for orthodontics with her daughter Sadie and her classmates. It is such an honor to inspire young minds to chase their dreams! 📚🦷
