Dr. Ehrmantrout & team, dispelling the myths about braces

Trust us when we say we are well-aware that there are quite a few myths about orthodontics (and orthodontists) flying around nowadays. But before you buy into those myths, Dr. Ehrmantrout and team want you to get the facts! Our friends at the American Association of Orthodontists set the record straight (no pun intended) and have provided some information that sheds some light on the myths and facts of orthodontics. We encourage you to check them out today!

If you have any general questions about braces or your orthodontic treatment at Hawks Prairie Ortho or Olympia Orthodontics, please feel free to give us a call or ask us on Facebook!

We're BAAAAACK!

We are back! The Damon forum was great! We all had such a wonderful time but man we are all so happy to be home!

Some neat items coming down the road include bicuspid to bicuspid clear Damon braces for the upper arch (currently we are only able to offer cuspid to cuspid). We are also beginning to offer customized Damon braces for select cases, which includes a process similar to what we do for Invisalign treatment (It is called Insignia if you want to google it).

Check out our Facebook page for more photos and be sure to ask Dr. Ehrmantrout what else he learned at the Damon Forum during your next visit!

Dr. Ehrmantrout & team, supporting National Children's Dental Health Month

Each February for the past 61 years, the American Dental Association (ADA) has sponsored National Children's Dental Health Month to raise awareness about the importance of oral health. Developing good habits at an early age and scheduling regular dental visits helps children get a good start on a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums.

For kids wearing braces, brushing and flossing can become more difficult, requiring extra time and vigilance to remove food particles that accumulate on and between the teeth and in braces. If the health of your teeth is ignored during treatment with braces, the results can be significantly compromised. Dr. Ehrmantrout is available and happy to explain why effective brushing and flossing is one of the most critical actions needed from patients during orthodontic treatment. Have you visited our Lacey or Olympia, WA office? Give us a call and schedule a free initial consultation!

Are you wearing your mouth guard?

At Dr. Ehrmantrout's office, we know spring sports are just around the corner, and we would like to remind our young athletes in treatment to take care of both your mouth and appliances while participating in contact sports (and non-contact sports) as well this spring. Dr. Ehrmantrout will tell you that only by using a mouth guard can kids with and without braces avoid serious sports injuries. And don't forget to ask us for a mouth guard - we will provide a mouth guard for anyone in active treatment!

If you have further questions or are ready to schedule your consultation, just give us a call at our Lacey or Olympia office.

Dr. Ehrmantrout is now an Invisalign Elite Provider!

While you probably know that we offer Invisalign treatment at Rad Orthodontics, did you know that Dr. Ehrmantrout is an Invisalign Elite Provider?

You're probably thinking: Ok, so what does this certification mean?

It means Dr. Ehrmantrout is specially trained in the Invisalign system of clear removable aligners, and has had extensive experience working with the system with his patients. Elite Providers like Dr. Ehrmantrout have achieved the highest level of experience with the Invisalign system, and are the top 1% of Invisalign providers in the entire country!

If you are considering the Invisalign system, give us a call at our convenient Lacey or Olympia locations to schedule a complimentary consultation. During this appointment, we can work with you to determine if the Invisalign system is right for you!

Damon system animation - Hawks Prairie Orthodontics

Here is a cool animation about the Damon system that we proudly offer at our Lacey and Olympia office.

Probably the biggest advantage of Damon braces over traditional brackets is the amount of time and effort involved. Dr. Zach Ehrmantrout and our team at Hawks Prairie Orthodontics can often cut months off of the total treatment time for patients using the Damon System, and less visits to our office are necessary to make adjustments.

Dr. Ehrmantrout is a leading specialist in this system! Give us a call to learn more!
