Do you know where your mouth guard is?

Monday, January 31st, 2011

At Ellis and Dutson Orthodontics, 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. Drs. Ellis and Dutson 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 Annandale, Burke or Lorton office. We hope you had a great weekend!

What are happy patients saying about Ellis-Dutson Orthodontics?

Tuesday, January 25th, 2011

Once in a while, our staff at Ellis-Dutson Orthodontics receive patient reviews that make us really proud to do the work we do every day: creating beautiful smiles for our patients in Annandale, Burke, Lorton and surrounding communities. Check out what a few of our patients are saying!

“Dr. Dutson is great 3 years we’ve been with him. After a consult with our long standing family Orthodontist for our Teenager, we were told he’d have to break his jaw for correcting an underbite. Then Dutson saw him. Dutson took another approach to avoid jaw surgery“‎

“Convenient and Friendly – My spouse has been working with Dr. Dutson’s office for over a year and has been satisfied with the service. Since my spouse still has another year to go, we don’t know what the finished product looks like. Dr. Dutson’s office has been great.”

“Highly recommend! Dr. Dutson was recommended to us by a family friend and he is great. When we went for our first consultation he took a lot of time explaining and answering questions and I never felt rushed or talked down to.“

Connect with the Braces Brigade!

Monday, January 17th, 2011

At Ellis & Dutson Orthodontics, we know our patients want to get as much out of their treatment as possible. That includes asking a lot of questions and making sure they take care of both their appliances and oral health.

Would you like to learn more about what to expect during orthodontic treatment, from someone with firsthand experience? Well, our friends at the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) recently developed the Braces Brigade blog, where past, present, as well as future orthodontic patients from coast to coast document their (or their child’s) orthodontic journeys.

Our team at Ellis & Dutson Orthodontics encourage you to visit the Braces Brigade blog to read these great and informative blogs—who knows, maybe you’ll learn a thing or two! As always, don’t hesitate to give us a call if you have any questions about the Braces Brigade or your own orthodontic treatment with Drs. Ellis or Dutson!
