Check out the chair the Kennell Ortho team painted for the Children's Auction! Here's a behind the scenes look at the making of the chair...

The Greater Lakes Region Children's Auction is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization to benefit caregivers in the Greater Lakes Region of New Hampshire. This year's Auction will take place at the Belknap Mall in Belmont, NH. Broadcasting Live on 104.9 The Hawk and WEEI 101.5 Sports Radio, also streaming at www.childrensauction.com and locally on Metrocast Channel 12 and LRPA Channel 25.

Kennell Orthodontics is offering an end-of-year Invisalign special running now through the end of December 2017!  If you begin Invisalign treatment with us during this time, we will discount the $350 records fee off of your treatment fee- call us for details!

With our new iTero scanner and the Treatment Simulator, you can see what your teeth might look like at the end of your orthodontic treatment! 

At Kennell Orthodontics we now take all of our records for our patients using our new iTero scanner.  This means no more goopie impression material!  The iTero also has a feature that allows us to show you what your teeth could look like once your orthodontic treatment is complete.  How awesome is that?!

Once braces come off we know it is exciting to see how great your new smile looks.  And you want to keep it that way, right?  However, some patients forget how important it is to wear their retainers to maintain that beautiful smile after orthodontic treatment is complete.  At Kennell Orthodontics, we give specific instructions to all of our patients on how to properly wear retainers.  Typically, retainers are worn 24/7 for the first three days after braces are removed, then just during sleep thereafter.

Retainers must be worn for life in order to maintain the teeth in position.  Minor tooth movement can occur throughout life, which is why we strongly encourage our patients to always wear their retainers.  Oh - and remember to keep those retainers away from the dog.  Dogs don't just eat your homework, they eat retainers too!
