Ortho-Friendly Treats

Orthodontic Health Month is about creating awareness about the importance of orthodontic health to patients and our surrounding community. We want our patients to understand the health and lifestyle benefits of orthodontics.

In honor of Orthodontic Health Month the American Association of Orthodontist, the official sponsors, have partnered with prominent Chef, restaurateur, TV personality and author John Besh. Chef Besh has provided recipes for ortho-friendly treats. These foods are easy to prepare and delicious alternatives to the sugary treats available this time of year.
