It's that time of year again; a time when we're thinking about those all too familiar New Year's resolutions. Promising to spend less, exercise more and clear the clutter are often at the top of our list, but this year the team at Bel Air Orthodontics has decided to keep our New Year's resolutions easy and entertaining. We've vowed to laugh more, smile often and have more fun. In the spirit of that fun, we came up with a few resolutions for our patients in orthodontic treatment. Tell us what you think, and share your own New Year's resolutions with us on our Facebook page!
- I will wear my elastics religiously.
- I will not flick my elastics at my brother or sister!
- I won't call my orthodontist during the Super Bowl with an emergency.
- I will brush my teeth at least twice a day for no less than two minutes. (Five minutes would be better!)
- I won't eat jolly ranchers or other sticky, chewy foods while I have braces.
- I won't gross out my parents or friends by smiling with food in my braces.
- I will not lie to my mom when she asks about my brushing.
- I won't let the dog wear my retainer (or eat it for that matter!)
- I will remember to wear a mouthguard when playing sports.
- I will simply stop complaining about my braces!
