Meadows Orthodontic Blog

From all of us here at Meadows Orthodontics, I would like to wish the Castle Rock community a wonderful Christmas season. We really enjoy this time of year in our office, and we have several traditions that we continue to carry on in both our Meadows, and Founders/Terrain locations. The first is that we continue to be a drop off location for the Toys for Tots program, which is very active here in Douglas County. Toys for Tots is a program organized by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, which collects and raised funds to purchase new toys for less fortunate children in local communities. It is a very well run program, and I encourage our neighbors to consider dropping off toys in our Meadows location for this cause. We will get your donations to to the program in time help make the holiday season a bit nicer for a number of local families!

We also have a tradition of “decking the office”, where we decorate both offices the weekend after Thanksgiving.  The Christmas tree in the Meadows office is special to me, as it is mostly decorated with MacKenzie- Childs ornaments and ribbons. MacKenzie- Childs is handmade, eclectic artisan pottery and decor company located in Aurora, N.Y. near where I was raised. In 1993, I had a back surgery and was unable to work on our family’s dairy farm due to the physical labor required.  While I  was recovering, I worked at MacKenzie-Childs, where I hand painted plates, bowls, serving platters, and more. Now 23 years later (ugg I’m getting old!), it is a tradition to decorate this tree in the whimsical style of this company that reminds my wife and I of where we grew up. Fell free to stop by and take a look.

Well, Merry Christmas, Castle Rock- we are all merry here, are placing LOTS of red and green colors on kid’s braces, and we look forward to seeing you this season.

Both locations of Meadows Orthodontics are located in Castle Rock, CO. We are open 5 days a week here, including every other Saturday!

Sometimes while I am surfing the web, I will check what is “floating around” the internet regarding orthodontic topics. I talk to my patients often about retainer options when their braces are removed, and I was surprised to see the amount of information and discussions out there regarding bonded retainers – small wires that are bonded to the back side of front teeth (usually lowers) – after braces have been removed. Like most topics, there is a large amount of credible information available, and an equally large amount of…how shall I put this…baloney? If you are wondering about if bonded retainers are right for you, here is my take on the subject.

First a little about my overall orthodontic philosophy. There are many ways to treat patients orthodontically. There are many MANY appliances, manufactures of braces, wires, instruments, elastics, etc… that all claim to be the best.  There are a large number of “systems” that practitioners can choose to follow exclusively, and there are different types of retainers and retention protocols that orthodontists can choose to offer to their patients. Personally, I choose to be educated and aware of all the options that are available to my patients (both cutting edge and traditional tried-and-true), and do my best to make decisions whenever possible according to evidence based practices (from scholarly peer reviewed journals of our profession) mixed with years of clinical experience. Borrowing from Dr. William Proffit’s article about using research to guide clinical decisions:

An orthodontist, like all health care providers, wants to know three things about the treatment he or she is providing: its

1. effectiveness (how well it works, i.e., how effective it is in dealing with the patient’s problems, taking into account possible negative side effects),
2. efficiency (how cost-effective it is, with cost in its broader sense to include time and effort for the provider and impact on the patient), and
3. predictability (the amount of variation in patient response).

Lets look at bonded retainers in light of these three factors.

1. Are bonded retainers effective?  Meaning, do they work well? Bonded retainers can work extremely well, and I have found there are two main factors that will determine how well they work. Fist, the patient must be determined to be an excellent candidate for the responsibility to have a bonded retainer. After carefully observing the patient’s habits (oral hygiene, their tendency to keep braces intact or to break them often, and overall compliance and responsibility with treatment), I usually have a good idea if a bonded retainer will work well for them. If a patient does not have excellent hygiene practices, I personally will not recommend a bonded retainer until they prove otherwise. Poor hygiene around bonded retainers is asking for failure, with periodontal health risk. On the other hand, excellent awareness and hygiene usually leads to favorable long term prognosis. The second factor is how well the bonded retainer is applied to the teeth by the orthodontic office. I think properly bonding a retainer is one of the most technique sensitive things that I do day to day, and therefore I exclusively place all bonded retainers in my practice. I know this is not the norm, and not efficient for my practice in the short (see #2!)term, but I have found massive gains in effectiveness since I started doing the bonding myself.
2. What about efficiency? As stated above, I spend A LOT of time making sure bonded retainers are placed just right. This not cost efficient for my practice short term, but have found that long term the increase in effectiveness and predictability (see #3!) make this overall very efficient. Much fewer re-treating with braces, much fewer failures, and much happier patients!
3. Are bonded retainers predictable? In other words, how much variation is expected in how patients respond to the bonded retainers? This is obviously very dependent on the factors that I described above. I find that if I am selective with who are proper candidates for bonded retainers,and treat each patient on an individual basis, bonded retainers are very predictable. Having said that, I can predict that at some point they will fail (break) and will need maintenance. Just like a car, your furnace, or your roof, a retainer needs proper care, maintenance, and sometimes replacement to work properly. Some people will need to wear the bonded retainers for life to maintain aligned teeth, while others may wish to have them removed at some point in favor of removable retainers. It is all individual, and each individual should be treated according to their unique lifestyle, habits, and wishes.

I hear often from patients who come to see me for re-treatment (their teeth have shifted after orthodontic treatment in the past), ” My previous orthodontist never offered me bonded retainers! Why not?” Honestly, I cannot answer that question. Maybe they found that in their practice they were not effective, efficient, or predictable, and never offered then to anyone. Why? Maybe in the past their staff members placed the retainers and they failed often (By the way, some staff members in practices I know are great at placing bonded retainers!). Maybe they did not choose wisely in who are and are not good candidates for bonded retainers, and they failed often. Maybe they did offer bonded retainers in their practice, but choose not to offer one to you based on your hygiene or compliance issues. Or maybe they just liked removable retainers better to avoid the possible negative side effects that some patients can experience with hygiene, maintenance, etc…The important thing is for me to consult with you in the present, and to engage in an honest discussion about the pros and cons of bonded retainers (and the pros and cons of removable retainers), and then determine if they will be effective, efficient, and predictable for you.

A questions that I am often asked by patients and their parents is, “What works best to keep teeth clean while wearing braces?”  My reply is “whatever works best for you as an individual”.  Many patients do really well with traditional toothbrushes, while others respond really well with to electric brushes. There are also many adjunct devices that help clean between teeth and reach spaces that may be hard for brushes to contact (especially with braces on). With so many choices available when you walk through the dental section of supermarkets and drug stores, here is a guide to help find what will work best for you.

Traditional manual toothbrushes:  As I stated, many orthodontic patients do a fantastic job of keeping healthy teeth and gums using traditional toothbrushes. After braces are placed, our assistants at Meadows Orthodontics review brushing techniques one on one with our patients, as braces add an additional challenge to the brush reaching the surfaces that need plaque removal. I stress to my patients that the most commonly missed areas are where the teeth and gums meet, both below the braces of the lower teeth, and above the braces on the upper teeth. wire. Try to allocate more time to these areas, starting at the back teeth, then working around the mouth one tooth at a time, making sure not to skip any, until you reach the back teeth of the other side. I describe this to kids as “driving around the race track”, as this ensures no areas are missed. Likewise, try to avoid random movements that jump from one part of the mouth to the other- people often get into patterns where some areas are cleaned really well, while other areas are totally skipped over. What about circular motions vs. up and down, vs. side to side? Just like washing a car, as long as all surfaces are cleaned, I tell my patients that they can use whatever motion is the most effective for them! If you want to use trapezoid movements and are good at it… fine!

Use a toothbrush with soft bristles, and avoid stiff  bristles. This will help reduce the chance of brushing causing gingival recession (where the gum recedes to expose the roots of the teeth). As far as all the different bristle shapes, designs, colors, etc…use what is comfortable for you! The one that you use well, consistently and with the correct technique is the best one. At each return visit to have braces or Invisalign checked and adjusted, we will grade your oral hygiene, and give you tips and encouragement if needed.

Electric toothbrushes:  Having said all the above about manual toothbrushes, electric toothbrushes are also a great option. Two of my own kids were not doing well on their own with traditional manual toothbrushes (my third one does amazing with a manual brush), so I got them an electric model. Bingo! they love to use it, and their was a big difference in keeping their teeth clean. A large part of it for them is using something technological and fun, which they responded to immediately.

The biggest difference with a high quality electric brush is that the “scrubbing” movement is taken care of by the brush itself. Children and the elderly especially may lack the coordination for these fine movements, and electric brushes area great option for them. Patients, especially kids, need to be aware that the bristle head still needs to be placed in the correct locations to get the teeth cleaned. Reaching these places is just as described above for the manual brushes. Which brand should you purchase? I recommend both Oral-B and Sonicare brushes. They each claim the superiority of their product, but they are both amazing and your teeth will be happy with either brand. Also, each brand has several levels of brushes. The mechanism and effectiveness is the same for each model, but the more expensive ones have more gadgets built in such as timers, bluetooth tracking for parents, etc… choose the model that has the extras that interest you the most.

Plastic pics, floss, interdental microbrushes, etc.. : The dental aisle usually has many accessories that can be very helpful in cleaning your teeth )I like plastic dental pics, and use them while I am watching TV). Again, choose what you like and what you are comfortable with. They are usually very inexpensive, can be purchased in bulk, and help to clean in areas that brushes cannot reach (in between teeth, under and around braces if food becomes trapped). Flossing will require the use of “floss threaders”. We review how to use these with every patient after braces have been placed.

Waterpiks:  Waterpiks are a great option to use in conjunction with brushes, as the bursts of water are great for flushing out debris and plaque from hard to reach areas, and from around devices such as expanders. You cant go wrong with the Waterpik brand, which is very popular with my patients.

I hope these suggestions help, and if you ever have questions, feel free to ask me, or call Meadows Orthodontics at 303-660-0112.

Dan Rejman, D.D.S., M.S. is the owner of Meadows Orthodontics. There are two locations in Castle Rock, CO for local families: One in the Meadows, and one in the Founders and Terrain area.

Good oral hygiene has many benefits, whether you’re in braces or not.  Removal of plaque is very important to help prevent tooth decay. Braces provide more surface area for plaque to cling to and hide behind, so it is important to be aware of techniques to clean around these additional surfaces.  Plaque that remains around braces (or anywhere on the tooth) for too long can cause white spot lesions, which is the initial stage of tooth decay.  These spots are the result of demineralization of the tooth surface and are a permanent stain the tooth surface. White spot lesions can then progress to dental caries, or cavities. “Fillings” are required to restore cavitated or demineralized areas that have progressed to the point that tooth structure needs to be replaced.

Plaque that is not removed can also cause gingivitis, which is inflammation of the gum tissue.  Signs of gingivitis include swelling, redness, and bleeding gums.  Gingivitis can progress to periodontal disease with progressive bone and gum tissue loss.  It is important for people to understand that poor oral hygiene is a major cause of bad breathe (halitosis).  Most often, a person’s senses becomes accustom to their own bad breath and they are unaware that it even exists.  However, people in their vicinity are usually well aware of this condition.  When this is explained to teens, it can often be news to improve their oral hygiene.

The good news is that tooth decay, demineralization, gingivitis, and halitosis are easily preventable. In the next blog entry I will review the best tips and techniques to keep these conditions away from your mouth!

At Meadows Orthodontics, we work really, really hard to make the process of aligning your teeth as affordable as possible.  I thought it would be helpful to list the things that we do for our patients, and the things that our patients can do independently to help with the finances involved with this important investment.

1. The best way to keep costs under control is to have orthodontic treatment only once in your life, and the best way to ensure this is to have it done properly the first time around. Do your homework when choosing an orthodontist!  This is the most important part, and it is important to understand that braces are not a commodity. That is, two orthodontists can use the exact same braces, and the patient may end up with radically different results. The orthodontist’s decisions ultimately determine the quality of care that you receive (not the braces or brand of braces). Check the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) website and the orthodontist locator to make sure that the professional you have choosen is an actual orthodontist (an orthodontic specialist) at mylifemysmile.org. You can then check if the orthodontist is Board Certified by the American Board of Orthodontics (ABO) at www.americanboardortho.com/portal/public/.
2. Take full advantage of  Health Savings Accounts (HSA), or Flex Spending plans. These can be set up through your employer’s human resource dept., or can be set up through a local bank. The power of using these accounts is that they allow you use money that you earn without paying taxes on the amount that is used for braces or invisalign, which could save you well over 20%! Our staff will help you set up your plans, and will help you with proper timing in starting treatment to take full advantage of HSA and Flex benefits.
3. Take advantage of our 0% interest in house financing plans.  We will gladly extend fees into monthly payments for the length of your treatment. Since there is no interest and is financed 100% through our practice, this really helps most families. We also offer discounts if you wish to pay in full at the start of treatment. Either way, we will always find a way to make things very comfortable for your family and your lifestyle.
4. Make sure you wear your retainers after orthodontic treatment is completed. I see hundreds of adults that had braces as teenagers, had amazing teeth, then stopped wearing their retainers in their late teens. Over the years, their teeth have become more and more misaligned, and they often come in for orthodontic treatment again. These days we strss the importance of lifetime retention to keep your teeth straight. We will discuss the various retainers available (which can be permanently fixed or removable), and help you decide what will be comfortable and predictable for the long run. I love seeing my patients, but I do not want to treat them a second time later in life!
5. We offer discounts for multiple family members, and discuss the differing costs for different types of braces, clear braces, and clear aligners. We are also kind to those who serve our country in the Armed Forces, and the police officers and firemen who protect us. Give us a call- you will be surprised how easy it is to get an amazing smile very affordably!

I still have not quite become used to my kids going back to school in early August, as my childhood memories are of returning after Labor Day. But, all three of my kids are back on the school time schedule, and all three of them are in braces. With their minds on school, class mates, getting up and getting ready earlier, I thought now would be a good time to give them and my patients a pep talk to keep up the effort in taking care of their teeth and braces that will continue moving them forward to the end result of an amazing, finished smile. Here are some tips and reminders for all of you heading back to school, and for the parents of these kids:

1. In the morning rush of getting ready, reserve a nice amount of time to brush really well around your braces! Not only will this help eliminate permanent staining and gingivitis, but it will help in another area that youngsters and teens seldom think about- it will improve your breath! Kids with poor oral hygiene rarely can detect that their own breath is noticeably smelly, but those around them certainly can!
2. Parents- help your kids with the above! My wife an I do a quick check on our kids before they head out the door. Yes, even an orthodontist’s kids are not self motivated to always keep their mouth clean. Oral hygiene, especially with braces added into the mix, is a challenge for most kids and teens, and it need to be a team effort. I tell parents all the time that they are not alone with non-compliant kids… we have three of them that need constant reminding and encouragement. I also commonly hear “They are old enough to remember to do it on their own!”. After treating thousands of patients through the years, I have found this to not be the case. Kids and Teens usually are just not  wired like adults when it comes to personal hygiene! Keep the effort up mom and dad- it will pay off, and use the bad breath warning- teens are usually responsive to this based on what others are perceiving of them.
3. Now that we are on the school year schedule, parents and all of us here at Meadows Orthodontics have scheduling challenges of our own. Our after school appointments are obviously the most popular for most people, and we have responded by being open an (unheard of!) average of five days a week for after school (and Saturday) appointments in Castle Rock. You will notice a large crowd during these hours, and I am putting in a tremendous effort to be open during these convenient hours as much as possible to accommodate our patient’s busy lives, while keeping care extremely personalized. Every now and then, I will ask for patience if it gets really busy, as I will never reduce the amount of time I need to appropriate to each patient. Every now and then, I may request that we schedule an appointment during the school day for procedures that require even more time than the busy after school appointments will allow. This is our way of giving you the attention you need, while keeping the after school hours free for the larger number of your (and the rest of our patient’s) more numerous “traditional” appointments. Thank you! Just a tip- if you or your child are the type to enjoy a much more quiet atmosphere, the hours from 10-2:00 are much more “calm”! Let us know what hours fit your needs best, and we will make it work.
4. Keep wearing your rubber bands as directed! Again, with the rush of starting a new grade, don’t let the task of wearing your rubber bands as much as possible delay your date of getting braces removed. Not wearing your rubber bands during school hours will greatly increase the time that you are in braces, often by many months.
5. Don’t forget to keep your appointments with your general dentist for cavity checks and cleanings. Especially when you have kids in braces, it is important to have your professional keeping a close eye on their teeth.

Dr. Dan Rejman is the father of three children (and soon to be a fourth!) in Castle Rock, and understands our local families’ busy schedules. Meadows Orthodontics offers appointments five days a week, all in  two Castle Rock locations, and Saturdays also!

I returned today from five great days of continuing education and meetings in Asheville, North Carolina. This meeting and the scientific programs (lectures and continuing education) are the centerpiece of the College of Diplomates of the American Board of Orthodontics annual meeting, and the board meetings are part of my responsibilities as the councilor for the Rocky Mountain and Southwestern Orthodontic Societies. I always like to publish the latest in orthodontic research and advancements that are being made in the field of orthodontics, and what I can incorporate into my practice here in Castle Rock.

Of great interest was the procedures being performed by Dr. Flavio Uribe and his team of orthodontists at the University of Connecticut. Patients who have bites and facial appearances that are severely deviated (usually due to an underlying skeletal imbalance of the upper and/or lower jaws), traditionally require about a year of orthodontics followed by orthognathic surgery (performed by an oral surgeon to re-position the upper and lower jaws), and another 9-12 months of orthodontics to fully correct the bite and skeletal imbalance of the jaws. Dr. Uribe and team are now performing the surgical portion of treatment immediately after the braces are placed, and orthodontics follows this surgery to correct the bite and imbalances. They are finding a greatly reduced time that the patient spends in braces with this method, along with avoiding the transient time period where traditionally the patient’s teeth were “decompensated” prior to the surgery. Decompensation of the teeth is where the teeth are initially placed in a more ideal position for after the surgery, but usually makes the teeth look more unattractive during the period before surgery. It also makes the planning for insurance coverage more precise and predictable. This is certainly something that I will discuss with the oral surgeons that I use for surgical/orthodontic cases in the Castle Rock area, as with selective cases this appears to be a win- win for myself and my patients.

As far as the yearly report from the American Board of Orthodontics, there continues to be a rise in the number of young orthodontists that are putting in the time to become board certified, which is encouraging for our profession. Becoming board certified is not only requires hundreds of ours and dedication to prepare for, but also raises the level of care for the public that we serve across the country.

Dr. Dan Rejman is the owner of Meadows Orthodontics in Castle Rock, CO, and has been Board certified by the ABO since 2007.

My entire staff at Meadows Orthodontics and I are honored to be voted “Best of the Best, Best Orthodontist in Castle Rock” for the third year in row! We were also voted “Best Customer Service”, which is something that we really, really work at on a daily basis. The cool thing about the customer service award is that it was for ALL businesses in Castle Rock- not just orthodontic practices. I just wanted to list a few of the things that we do to try to create an atmosphere of “customer first”:

Just a note- many of these have been questioned/criticized by “practice consultants”, who tell us that we are losing profits by not following many industry standards with scheduling, time allotted to each patient, etc… I totally disagree! To me running a local business and being a great orthodontist is not about crunching numbers and figuring out the way to fit as many patients into a day as possible. I need time with my patients and their parents, plain and simple- which ultimately means spending more time with people and being “less efficient” as a business. That is our model, and it will not change.

• We offer Saturday, later evening, and early morning hours for our patients. We decided to do this to help families that have kids in sports and activities, and also parents who work during “traditional” hours. Our goal is to help kids miss as little school as possible, and to help adults to not miss work. Is it more hours for me? Yup. But I used to be a dairy farmer, and these hours are natural for me!
• Related to the above, the days we are open in Castle Rock alternates 5 days one week (M-F), then open 6 days the next (M-Sat). ALL in Castle Rock! Which means no days that I practice at a satellite office in another town or another part of the state. This gives our patients an incredible variety of days to choose from that will fit their schedules. It also ensures that they see me at every visit.
• I have two offices, BOTH in Castle Rock! Crossing I-25 has become a hassle for residents, especially with all the new growth occurring along the interstate corridor. So we decided to make our locations as convenient as possible, while staying completely in Castle Rock. We alternate days, and patients see myself and the same staff at both offices. Our patients love the convenience this has created for them! Our Meadows office is right next door to the Meadows, Red Hawk, CVHS, CRMS, AVA, Academy Charter and all the elementary schools west of I-25. Our Founders Marketplace location is right next to Founders Village, Terrain, Crystal Valley ranch, and is close to DCHS, Mesa Middle, Sage Canyon, Rock Ridge and Flagstone  Elementary Schools, and is only 10 minutes from Ponderosa HS.
• I live in the Meadows in Castle Rock, and I cannot overstate how important I think it is to live and be involved in the community that I practice in. I hope that by being a presence in the community, people can sense the accountability and pride I put into my work, and in the advice I give my patients about their orthodontic needs. This is still a small town at heart, and being known as an honest small town Doc that puts the interests of my patients first is ultimately the most important thing to me professionally.
• Living in the town in which I practice also allows me to respond as fast as possible when my patients have after hours emergencies or comfort concerns, and it is almost always myself that takes emergency calls and visits with my patients.
• Every day, we stress to our staff the importance of compassion, patience, and communication. Our wonderful staff wear many hats each day; Helping an anxious young child through their first appointment, patiently teaching a teen how to properly brush and improve hygiene (sometimes at every visit!), helping a busy mother find time in her busy life to bring multiple children in, or taking the time to talk to children and parents to really get to know them and the interesting things that are going on in their lives. We try to make Meadows Orthodontics special.
• Finally, we are human. I do not get upset over broken brackets- life happens! If there is an important event in your life such as a wedding, graduation, senior pictures, etc.., we try to be flexible and work around your schedule and plan braces and invisalign accordingly. If a family falls on hard times in their life, I feel I have a responsibility as a small community member to help, and to discuss options that will help with their unique situation.

Again, thank you Castle Rock for your support- this is a special place where we live, and we are very grateful.

Summer is the time that we see many kids and adults with braces moving into, and out of, Castle Rock. If you are one of these families, here are some tips to make your transition to an orthodontist in a new city as easy as possible.

• Let your current orthodontist know that you will be moving as far ahead as possible. Getting informed by families of a move early allows me to prepare for your move.
• If your treatment is nearing completion, I can plan accordingly to get your braces removed, and get you into the proper retainers before you move!
• If there is more time left in your treatment, we prepare a transfer form from the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) that will give your new orthodontist information on your original diagnosis, treatment plan, expected length of treatment, current status, and anything about your case that is unique or that needs special care.
• I gather copies of your records for your new orthodontist, including all of your pre-treatment and current photographs and radiographs.
• I will help you select a new orthodontist in the city that you are moving to. Like most professions, it is a small world, and I have many contacts around the country to help find a great match in your new hometown. I can look up information that will let you know if they are board certified, use similar braces, and have a good reputation in general.
• An early warning that you are moving helps you transition financially. Time is often needed transitioning insurance benefits, adjusting payment plans that you may have, or prorating your balance if you have paid in full. We want your move to go as smooth as possible, both treatment-wise, and financially!
• While on the subject of finances, the AAO transfer form mentioned above outlines  the financial arrangement of your orthodontic treatment, and this (hopefully) will give your new orthodontist a guideline to treat you fairly in your new location. Unfortunately, there are often extra costs to transfer to a new office, and if moving from Denver to a metropolitan area that has a higher cost of living (most of the east and west coasts), your new contract may reflect this.
• Always feel free to call us after your move if you have any questions at all. Once you have started with us you are family, and we will help make your move as smooth as possible!

Summer is the time of year when Meadows Orthodontics sponsors many local events in Castle Rock. Being at these fun events get us out in the community, gives us an opportunity to interact with kids and their parents, and allows us to answer many questions parents have about orthodontics, braces  and invisalign.  We approach these events a bit differently – we like to have fun! I am an avid painter (oil painting local landscapes and scenes), and for several years I have been face painting at these events (note the serious painting face I’ve got going above!). This year Meadows orthodontics will be sponsoring and painting at all the Music in the Meadows events, Red White and You Fourth of July Celebration, PumpkinFest, Holiday in the Meadows, and the Starlight Movies at Festival Park in Downtown Castle Rock. I customize the face painting for each event to keep things fresh and fun for the kids (and young at heart adults!), and I really have a good time contributing to the wonderful small town feel of Castle Rock. Come out for these events, and make sure to stop by and see us!
