Contest Winners

Halloween Contest - October 2024

It just wouldn't be Halloween without candy treats, so we put them in our Forbidden Zone jar and challenged you to guess the number of sticky, chewy treats inside. With an amazing entry of 284, Lanie G. was just three away from the exact number of treats in the jar. As our winner, Lanie took home a $25 Amazon gift card for some fun online shopping. 

Halloween is always a tricky time for patients in braces. As tempting as those chewy, gooey candy treats may be, patients wearing braces and other orthodontic appliances need to steer clear of items like those in our Forbidden Zone Jar. Of course, you can still enjoy Halloween and all the fun it brings. If you still have some Halloween treats lurking around, remember to trade those sticky candies for braces-friendly options like chocolate or other melt-in-the-mouth goodies and don't forget to brush and floss to protect your teeth!

Great Eraser Caper Contest - September 2024

The theme of this year's back-to-school contest was the simple, yet magical tool we just can't live without...The Eraser!  What could be more magical, after all, than a little wad of rubber that undoes our mistakes and allows us to change our minds?

During our Great Eraser Caper, patients were challenged with our trivia questions to see how much they really knew about this magical tool that we use everyday.

Our Trivia Contest winner, William Zhang, received a $25 Dick's Sporting Goods gift card.

Patients were also challenged to guess the correct number of erasers in the jar. Congratulations go to Michael Thomas who's entry came closest to the actual number of erasers in the jar. Michael took home a $25 Amazon gift card. 

Congratulations to both William and Michael, enjoy your prizes!

Actual number of erasers = 530

It just wouldn't be summer without trips to the beach, strolls on the boardwalk, and memories of caramel corn and salt water taffy. While those chewy summertime treats are off-limits to those in braces, there's no reason why we couldn't have some fun with them during this year's Summer Contest!
