What's the best part about getting your braces off?

This patient describes what she likes best now that she has her braces off. She couldn't decide between all the compliments she gets on her straight smile, the foods she is now able to eat, and the confidence she now has. What is your orthodontics story? Share one with us at Magic Smiles, or help us create one with you! Call any of our three Portland-area offices today for a complimentary consultation!

Civil War Week

In case you didn't get a chance to come in this past week, we were having our Civil War theme week. We can't wait for this weekend's face off between #1 ranked Oregon and Oregon State. Check all the photos on our Facebook page, and Goooooo Ducks!!!

Civil War Spirit Week at Magic Smiles

Happy Thanksgiving, from Dr. Doleac & team

Dr. Doleac and team would like to wish you a safe and happy Thanksgiving. It's a big food holiday, so be careful what you eat with those braces! If you have any stories or pictures to share with us, we'd encourage you to send them along or call our office and ask how.

Ask Dr. Doleac: Who benefits from braces?

Braces aren’t just for pre-adolescents and teenagers anymore! Dr. Doleac will tell you that anyone, at any age, can benefit from orthodontic treatment, whether it’s correcting a problem not treated in your younger years, or catching a problem early.

To ensure the best overall treatment, the American Association of Orthodontists, or AAO, recommends that children receive an orthodontic consultation as early as age seven. If a problem is evident, taking action early can spare a lot of treatment and expense down the road.

If you never received orthodontic treatment when you were young, don’t worry! You’re never too old for a beautiful smile. Set up an appointment for a consultation and find out how adult orthodontics will transform your smile, as well as your life!
