Hi, Damani here with Magic Smiles. At our Portland, Beaverton, and Scappoose offices, we understand the need now more than ever to find creative and effective ways for patients to be able to embark on orthodontic treatment, all while minimizing their time away from home and their families. This is why we’ve created our Couch Consult. Essentially, the Couch Consult enables our patients to gather all of the information on treatment options, the length of their treatment, the financial aspects of their treatment, how much it will cost, and whether the insurance is going to pay any portion of that. Then they’ll be able to come up with a creative plan that’s going to work with their finances at this current time, all from the comfort of their couch, or kitchen, or office or car or wherever it is that you need to be right now. We’ll meet you there.

Orthodontics isn’t just for kids and teens anymore. At Magic Smiles, we are big believers that – young or old – it is never too late to have a beautiful, healthy smile. More and more adults are turning to orthodontics to correct teeth and bite problems and to enjoy the aesthetic and oral health benefits that a healthy smile can bring. One of our senior adult patients, an 83 year old woman, completed her orthodontic treatment and spoke with us afterward about her experience. “I wanted to do this 20 years ago. When I found out that my bite opened, I refused to have any surgery. Time went on and I kept watching my teeth – especially my bottom teeth – getting more crooked. Pretty soon, one of these teeth down here was sticking up. And I said, darn it, I’m gonna go take care of it. I’m 83 and

Hi, I’m Dr. Phil Doleac from Magic Smiles Orthodontics. Lately I’ve noticed an increasing number of ads both on television and in print media extolling quick smiles in a very short period of time, sometimes without ever seeing the doctor. I’d like to provide a little perspective. I find it quite amazing when I reflect back on the profession of orthodontics for the last 20 years. When I began my career orthodontics was all about headgear, extractions, and braces. With current technology, most of it developed by NASA and the space program, I am able to treat virtually without taking out teeth while developing a broad natural smile that is stunningly beautiful. One of the newer developments in orthodontics is the Invisalign treatment system. With Invisalign, I can provide patients with a much more positive experience. As some of you may know, one of my sons played in the NBA

You devote a lot of energy to your orthodontic treatment. Appointments, rubber bands, adjustments, cleaning (so much cleaning)—and why? Because you know that your attractive, healthy smile will be well worth the effort. But if you find that keeping your teeth and braces clean requires more time and energy than it should, and you’re still not getting the results you’d like, a water flosser might be just the tool you need to help make your cleaning routine easier and more effective. Plaque and tartar can be a real problem when you wear braces. Cleaning around braces and wires can be a challenge, and it can be difficult to get floss between your teeth and close to your gums, even with special threaders or floss designed to slip behind your wires. But ignoring bacteria and plaque build-up can lead to cavities, weakened or discolored enamel, and gum problems. Fortunately, a water

If you’ve been following a vegetarian or vegan diet, you know that there’s much more to living a healthy life than simply avoiding meat products. Making sure your diet includes enough protein, as well as any nutrients that are primarily available in animal products, takes planning, and there’s no one-menu-fits-all solution. Why? Because there’s no one menu that will suit all vegetarians. Specific vegetarian diets can allow for many different options: Vegan—a plant-based diet which excludes meat, fish, dairy, and egg products Ovo-vegetarian—includes eggs as a dietary option, but no dairy Lacto-vegetarian— includes dairy as a dietary option, but no eggs Lacto-ovo-vegetarian—a meat-free diet which allows both dairy products and eggs If you are a pescatarian, who eats fish on occasion, or a flexitarian, who sometimes includes meat in a meal, your menu options are even broader. So let’s look at the big picture—a healthy vegetarian diet is really more
