School is almost out! Yippee! Everyone made is successfully through another year of school. Congratulations. Let the fun and slower summer schedules begin. If you or your child is undergoing orthodontic treatment there are a few things you will want to keep in mind during the summer break.
Should I swim with my retainer or Invisalign in?
If you are supposed to wear your retainer during the day then you should keep your retainer and Invisalign in during swimming. Retainers and Invisalign are designed to fit snugly over your teeth and should not prohibit breathing or be at risk to fall out.

Spring break time is here! Yippee! There are so many fun things to dive into during your spring break. Perhaps you’ll be heading to the beach and diving into the ocean!

So many new and exciting things happen in the spring.
If you are getting your braces off this spring, you’ll be happy to know that there’s a way to retain and keep that amazing smile you have right now! A retainer is useful for maintaining the position and condition of your teeth post-orthodontic adjustments.
If you’re given a removable retainer, here are a few tips for you.

We love winning at Broad Street Braces. Every time one of our patients flashes us their newly aligned smile, we give ourselves mental high fives for another job well done. We feel like winners every time we deliver you with a winning smile.
One orthodontic method we use to deliver you with a winning smile is metal braces. Metal braces are a winning choice for you because they have been successfully used for over 100 years. They are durable, predictable and they can correct your unhealthy bite if you have one.

If you look in the mirror and are dissatisfied with the alignment of your teeth, you may be wondering if you’re too old to adjust your teeth with orthodontic treatment. The good news is that orthodontic treatment has no age limits! At Broad Street Braces, Dr. Neil examines each potential patient to determine if orthodontic treatment is the right course of action.
As you age, your teeth can move and change. These changes can cause wear and tear on your teeth and mouth when you chew or bite. This can result in gradual bone loss and movement of your jaw that causes your teeth to gravitate inwards and overcrowd. Not only does this affect your appearance, but it can affect your speech and other factors as well.

November is American Diabetes Month. Diabetes affects over 20 million Americans in the United States, so there is a good chance that you’re undergoing orthodontic treatment and you have diabetes at the same time. If this is you, then there are special considerations to keep in mind as you continue to care for the health of your teeth while having orthodontic work on your teeth at the same time. You can read more about diabetes here on the American Diabetes Association’s website.
Whether you’re undergoing orthodontic treatment, or not, it’s important to maintain proper dental care if you have diabetes. Patients with diabetes are at a higher risk of gum disease and oral infections because they have increased bacterial production. This higher production rate is from higher glucose levels in saliva. Patients with diabetes also typically have less saliva, higher levels of sugar in oral fluids and loss of gum tissue.

The date is quickly approaching. Your orthodontist gave you the brace-removal date and you can hardly wait to get there. The patience that is required of you during this time is heroic. Broad Street Braces applauds you at your heroic levels of patience and endurance as you wait for the day when you can be brace-free!
What is the first thing you will do when you get your braces off? We certainly hope you take a selfie and post it and proudly present to all of your friends on social media the NEW you! Show off that smile. You earned the right to display, post and spread your smile everywhere. Go ahead and smile at strangers now. Maybe even give a big smile to that special someone you’ve been too shy to say “hello” to before.
Our practice is located in South Philadelphia and we look forward to meeting you!
