A few helpful webisodes about orthodontics

Friday, September 30th, 2011


Drs. Eric Gibbs and Fernanda Marchi and their team at Gibbs Orthodontic Associates would like to point you to a few interesting webisodes about orthodontics, located on the YouTube page of the American Association of Orthodontists, or AAO.

There, they tend to post some very pertinent videos about orthodontic treatment, as well as state-of-the-art technology in orthodontia. These include “Orthodontic Treatment Basics,” “Common Bite Problems Seen in Children” and “Does My Child Need Braces?”

We think you may find these webisodes interesting, as well as enlightening. If you have any questions about the videos, or your treatment here at Gibbs Orthodontic Associates, please give us a call.

2011 Toughman Half-Triathlon

Friday, September 23rd, 2011

On September 11, 2011, Dr. Eric Gibbs participated in the Toughman Half-Triathlon. He finished with a time of 6:07:44! This year marked the 10th anniversary of 9/11 and a portion of every entry was donated to the Croton-Buchanan-Cortlandt 9/11 Memorial fund. Great job Dr. Gibbs!

What can I eat with my braces?

Wednesday, September 21st, 2011

You just got braces at Gibbs Orthodontic Associates and Drs. Eric Gibbs and Fernanda Marchi have informed you that during your orthodontic treatment you will want to avoid eating anything sticky, hard, crunchy, or chewy. What does this leave for you to eat? Lettuce? Nothing?

Luckily, our friends at the American Association of Orthodontists, or AAO, created a variety of “braces-friendly” recipes that will allow you to enjoy your favorite treats without interfering with your orthodontic care!

Recipes include main dishes, side dishes and even yummy desserts! After all, a healthy diet provides essential nutrients and helps the patient achieve the best possible results from orthodontic treatment.

If you have any questions about the recipes listed or about the foods you should be avoiding during your orthodontic treatment, please give us a call or ask us on Facebook!

Enjoy!
