Are you wearing your mouth guard?

At Just Orthodontics, we know spring sports are just around the corner. As spring gets closer and the weather gets a bit warmer, the chances for mouth injuries for our athletes in treatment get likelier and likelier. Dr. Just and our entire team would like to remind our young athletes to always take care of both your mouth and appliances while participating in contact sports.

That includes wearing a mouth guard at all times when you're out on the field. Only by using a mouth guard can athletes with and without braces avoid serious mouth injuries. And don't forget to ask us for a mouth guard - we will provide a mouth guard for any patient in active treatment! And remember, Just Orthodontics is an authorized provider of Under Armour mouth guards and UA Performance Mouthwear.

More than just a day off from school, from Just Orthodontics

Today, our country celebrates Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who was a thinker, leader and civil rights champion. In the 1950s and ’60s, Dr. King recognized the need to bring about social justice, and worked tirelessly to instill tolerance in our nation, strengthen America’s communities and move the nation forward.

Today (and this past weekend), tens of thousands of people of all ages and races in Wisconsin and across the United States will spend their time building, giving and renovating our communities to help celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day weekend. Do you have the day off today? If so, what do you plan to do to help your local community?

We’d love to know about your activities and events this MLK Jr. Day. If you have any video or pictures you’d like to share, please pass them along! If you’re not sure how, give us a call!

Our entire team at Just Orthodontics are proud of all our patients, families and colleagues who continue to make a difference in our community!

We encourage you to check them out today!
