In this season given to tidings of comfort and joy, and as the team at Schwartz Orthodontics
At Schwartz Orthodontics, we embrace new technology, whether it is through the innovative orthodontic treatments that we offer, our high-tech web site and social networks, or our modern Salisbury, MD office!
Orthodontic treatment can be a life changing experience - just ask any of our patients! Every day we marvel at the transformations our patients experience, both aesthetically and in their own self confidence. At Schwartz Orthodontics, we offer "braces for all faces", and treat patients young and old. We realize that orthodontic treatment is not always within reach for many families, which is why Dr. Schwartz has partnered with the Smiles Change Lives program. Smiles Change Lives is a program encompassing hundreds of orthodontists across the country to help provide pro bono orthodontic treatment to low-income children. If you know an individual who would benefit from orthodontic treatment, but does not have the means, we invite them to apply! 
Trick-or-treat! In the spirit of October’s sweet and spooky holiday, Halloween, Dr. Schwartz & team would like to remind all of our patients to be safe while celebrating with friends and family. The American Association of Orthodontists, or AAO, has provided trick-or-treaters with some tips for a ghoulishly good time. 
October symbolizes the transition into the Fall season and of course, Halloween! For our team at Schwartz Orthodontics, the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO), and orthodontic patients around the country, October also marks the National Orthodontic Health Month. This month is a great time to remind patients of the importance of strong oral hygiene and a braces-friendly diet, especially since many of the sticky and sweet Halloween treats can be harmful to braces and other orthodontic appliances.
Did you know that back in 2002, Tom Cruise had braces? During this time, he was 40 years old and filmed Minority Report, Austin Powers in Goldmember and the Last Samurai. Check out his smile in Jerry Maguire, Rain Man or The Firm and compare to the post-braces Tom Cruise in Valkyrie or Tropic Thunder. The fact is, movie stars need to look their best for the silver screen, and it wouldn't be possible without orthodontists like Dr. Schwartz. 
Some people wonder why Salisbury, MD orthodontist Dr. Carrie Schwartz and our team work tirelessly to give our patients straight teeth. Of course it’s nice to have a smile full of evenly aligned teeth, but did you know that straightening your teeth at Schwartz Orthodontics can keep them healthier? Straight teeth lead to better oral hygiene, increasing your chances of keeping your own natural teeth for a lifetime!
Are you brushing your teeth twice a day during your orthodontic treatment? If yes, that’s great! But, don’t forget that it’s also important for you to visit your dentist every six months in addition to brushing your teeth and flossing (and visiting our office, of course). Regular dental checkups are important for maintaining good oral health. 
Trust us when we say Dr. Schwartz and our staff know there are quite a few myths about orthodontics (and orthodontists) floating around these days. But before you buy into those myths, we think you should get the facts! Our friends at the American Association of Orthodontists set the record straight (no pun intended) and have provided some information that sheds some light on the myths and facts of orthodontics. We encourage you to check them out today!
This upcoming Sunday - which happens to be Independence Day, of course - Dr. Schwartz and our staff will celebrate our nation's 234th birthday. For most folks, the Fourth of July is a chance to celebrate and commemorate America's Declaration of Independence. It's also a time for every American to pay homage to all our soldiers, past, present and future - who lost their lives in battle - and the brave servicemen- and women who place themselves in harm's way every day so that we may continue enjoy our freedoms.
From your very first visit to Schwartz Orthodontics, our doctor and team strive to provide superior treatment in a pleasant, friendly atmosphere. We thought we’d ask you, our wonderful patients: What did you think about your experience here? Did our team go out of their way to make your day? Are you in love with your new smile?
Flossing is a must for patients with braces, we encouraging flossing at least once a day. There are plenty of ways to floss around your teeth and braces, but many people will find it difficult to get into all the nooks and crannies with the floss thread alone. For our patients we recommended a product called Platypus. The Platypus makes flossing with braces quick and easy, and is specifically designed for use with orthodontic appliances! Check out their website for more information, or ask us about the Platypus on your next visit!
It’s June already! Where does the time go?
At Schwartz Orthodontics, we embrace new technology, whether it is through the innovative orthodontic treatments that we offer, our high-tech web site and social networks, or our modern office conveniently located in Salisbury, MD.
"Dentists, Orthodontists, they're all the same right?" We hear our patients asking this question as they wonder about the difference between an orthodontist and a dentist. Before becoming an orthodontist Dr. Schwartz started out in dental school and earned a DDS (dental degree), just like your dentist. After dental school however, Dr. Schwartz decided she wanted to learn more about orthodontics, which is one of nine specialties within the dental field. So she stayed in school for a few more years and became an expert in orthodontics; which focuses on tooth and jaw alignment and bite problems like overbites and under bites.
Schwartz Orthodontics, serving patients in Delaware, Maryland and Virginia, provides our patients with a comfortable, professional and family-friendly atmosphere. Dr. Schwartz and our dedicated team are the area's leading orthodontic practice, providing a superior patient care experience customized to each individual. With a state-of-the-art and paperless office, we give patients less wait time during office visits, better communication between the practice and patients, and the ability for patients to access records and orthodontic information anytime day or night. Dr. Schwartz and her team are excited about the opportunity to work with you and help you create the beautiful, healthy smile you desire.
