Support the Jets at Kildonan Orthodontics!

March 14th, 2012

Here at Dr. Brent Nickolaychuk’s office, we have a contest to support our local NHL team! If a patient wears any type of Winnipeg Jets gear to his or her appointment, they will receive a ballot to enter a drawing. You could be the lucky winner of a Winnipeg Jets jersey with the player of their choice on it. The last day to submit your ballot is at the end of the regular season, on April 7, 2012.

Don't delay in stopping by Kildonan Orthodontics in your Jets gear! If you have any questions about this contest or your orthodontic treatment, give us a call at the office or ask us on Facebook!

Which questions should I ask during my orthodontic consultation?

March 8th, 2012

When you visit Kildonan Orthodontics for your orthodontic consultation, you’ll probably have a lot of questions. We want you to be prepared for your appointment and feel in charge of your orthodontic treatment decisions, so keep these questions in mind to ask when you come in for your appointment:
             How long will I have to wear braces?
             Will getting braces hurt?
             Will I have to wear additional appliances to correct jaw problems while I have braces?
             What can I eat when I have braces?
             Are there certain things, like playing sports or playing an instrument, which I won’t be able to do?
             How can I make sure my teeth stay clean and healthy while I have braces?
             How often will I need to come in for appointments?
             How much will my orthodontic treatment cost?
Kildonan Orthodontics is here to answer all your questions and concerns, and we’re happy to explain all aspects of your treatment plan and expected outcome. Your orthodontic experience should be comfortable, hassle-free, and most importantly, leave you smiling!

Ask Dr. Nickolaychuk: Now that I have braces, what can I eat?

February 29th, 2012

Let’s say you just got braces and Dr. Nickolaychukhas 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” recipesthat 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 treatment at Kildonan Orthodontics.

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

Enjoy!
