With the hustle and bustle of the holiday season here, Dr. Joseph Brogan and our entire staff at Brogan Orthodontics wanted to stop for a moment and extend our best wishes to you, our patients, referring doctors and families, this holiday season.
At Brogan Orthodontics, we know maintaining a healthy diet over the holiday season can prove a difficult task. After all, who can resist the tasty treats of Christmas? With grandma and everybody else offering you candy, chocolate logs or Christmas pudding, you just can’t say “I’ll pass” each time. But trouble lurks: every time you chow down on that chocolate or candy, the bacteria in your mouth have a feast on the sugar—at your expense. The sugar turns into acid, and the acid eats away at the enamel on your teeth and between your braces. Then, you start getting cavities.
It’s fall here at Brogan Orthodontics, a time when all across the country, the leaves begin to change colors and the air becomes crisp.
It’s almost that spooky time of year again! Dr. Joseph Brogan and our team thought we’d share some Halloween tips from our friends at the American Association of Orthodontists.

Fall is here, and sometimes our team at Brogan Orthodontics just feel like a hot delicious meal is in order.

The end of Summer and then subsequently the beginning of Fall are just around the corner. Soon the temperatures will cool down, the leaves will start to change, and we’re sure that you’ll be thinking about Halloween costumes and Thanksgiving plans.
Isn’t social media great? Dr. Joseph Brogan and team love connecting with our patients online, whether it’s by sharing news on our blog or communicating ideas on our interactive Facebook fan page. For social media to work, conversation is vital, and that’s why we invite you to join in and tell us what’s on your mind. Although social media is hugely popular these days, we know it is unpredictable and ever-changing.

Braces aren’t just for pre-adolescents and teenagers anymore! Dr. Joseph Brogan will tell you that anyone, at any age, can benefit from orthodontic treatment, whether it’s correcting a problem not treated in your younger years, or catching a problem early. 
Many people know that Invisalign is a great solution to braces if you don't want to experience the look and feel of traditional metal braces. What few people know, though, is that just like traditional braces, Invisalign requires proper care to work effectively.

It's still likely that your aligners can build up plaque if not treated properly. When wearing your Invisalign aligners, Dr. Joseph Brogan wants you to ask yourself the following questions:
