Calgary Orthodontist Giving To Those Less Fortunate

Imagine lining up to see a dentist or orthodonist for care. 
Well in Guatemala that's what people from rural communities are faced with if they want to receive dental treatment.

Dr. Cory Liss will be one of several Calgary Dentists, with the Dentistry For All Organization, providing dental care to people from rural Guatemalan communities this September. 



This is a project that is important to Dr. Liss, as giving back to those less fortunate, is the foundation for his Calgary Orthodontic Office.  Dr. Liss would like your help in making his trip even more meaningful.  If you have any Happy Meal Toys please drop them off at our office so that Dr. Liss can take them with him to hand out to local children. Putting a smile on a child's face isn't always about great dentistry but receiveing a simple toy.

Help us make as many children as possible smile next month. Please drop off Happy Meal Toys by September 16th.

How To Make A Mouthguard For Your Orthodontic Appliance

For some orthodontic patients there is a need to wear a Herbst Appliance.
This is an appliance that positions the lower jaw, promoting jaw growth.

The style of this orthodontic appliance can present a challenge when it comes to wearing a mouthguard.


But an orthodontist has come up with a great solution.
Check out this You Tube video, showing you how to fabricate a boil and bite mouthguard, so you'll know what to do next time you need to wear a mouthguard.
