This Memorial Day weekend, what are you up to?

Memorial Day Weekend, only a few days away, is a time to reflect and honor the men and women who have served to protect America and ensure our freedom. It’s also the unofficial start of summer, and for many kids in San Diego, getting out of town for three days with parents or relaxing after being cooped up at school for 9 months is always sweet, sweet relief.

What are you up to this Memorial Day weekend? Whether you are headed to a barbeque, a camping trip, or hitting the majestic open roads of California, Dr. Styrt and our dedicated staff would love to hear all about it! Enjoy the long weekend if we don't see you this week, and we'll see you soon!!

Talkin' retainers with Dr. Styrt

If you recently completed treatment at Simply Spectacular Smiles, we’d like to congratulate you! Now that your braces have been removed, Drs. Styrt and Job will provide—or have provided you—with retainers. After braces are removed, teeth can shift out of position if they are not stabilized. Retainers, however, provide that stabilization. They are designed to hold teeth in their corrected, ideal positions until the bones and gums adapt to the treatment changes. Wearing retainers exactly as instructed by Drs. Styrt and Job is the best insurance that the treatment improvements last for a lifetime.

To learn more about the advantages of wearing retainers after your orthodontic treatment at Simply Spectacular Smiles, please read this helpful article about retainers from KidsHealth or give us a call!

"Hey, Dr. Styrt! How does your office 'Go Green'"?

Dr. Styrt was recently approached and asked, "Hey, doc, how does your office manage to "Go Green and stay Green"?

Great question!

Here are the ways we take steps to make our office more environmentally-friendly, as well as preserve our planet and its resources:

*We use computerized charting and scheduling

*Brand new Kodak digital imaging (no processing chemicals, very low radiation)

*No longer send monthly statements/coupon books for Orthodontic patients

*Utilize recall e-mails rather than paper postcards

*We have recently designed and disseminated to our patients reusable grocery bags and BPA-free aluminum water bottles


For more ways on how Dr. Styrt and team "Go Green," we invite you to give us a call.

Enjoy the rest of your week!
