Which came first, the chicken or the egg? No one can say for sure, but one thing we do know is that when it comes to brushing and flossing, there’s definitely one that should be done before the other. You may be surprised to know that according to studies, flossing should be your first step!

Floss First!


It has been proven that flossing before you brush is the best way to get your teeth thoroughly clean and remove the most plaque. Flossing before brushing also allows for better fluoride concentration from toothpaste, which helps make the enamel stronger and more resistant to decay.


Why is it Beneficial?



By flossing before brushing, you knock out food particles loose that are stuck in bet...

You have finally gotten your braces off! Congratulations and welcome to your new beautiful smile. Wearing your retainer as directed is the absolute best way to make sure your teeth don’t shift or move over time. Here is the thing… just because you are out of braces, does not mean that your orthodontic journey is quite over. Unfortunately, teeth can and will shift as we age. Sometimes it is barely noticeable and other times it can be significant. The good news is that keeping your newly straightened smile in good shape is easy.


We know that getting used to wearing your retainer can take some time. Check out the following information to help you figure out how.

What is a Crossbite?


Anytime you go to a healthcare specialist, you are going to hear lots of technical-sounding words. Some of which you might be familiar with, and some that you have no idea what they mean. Orthodontics is a field with an especially large amount of jargon that may be new to you, but we are here to help! Today, let’s take a look at crossbites.


What Does “Bite” Mean in Orthodontics?


While the word “bite” is one that you have obviously heard before, when it is used in orthodontics and dentistry it means something a little different. When Dr. Jolley talks about your bite, he is referring to the way that your teeth fit together. Just as your upper...

Do you know how you take your children to well-check visits to their pediatrician and regular checkups with their general dentist? It’s just as important to start factoring in orthodontist visits by the time your child is 7-years old.





Why 7-Years Old?


By taking your child to the orthodontist at an early age, you will help to keep your child’s oral health in check. The American Association of Orthodontics recommends that children see an orthodontist by the time they are 7-years old. At this age, the orthodontist is able to look at the way your child’s mouth is developing, including their jaw growth and the way that their permanent teeth are coming in, amongst other things. B...

We all know that the most important part of dental hygiene is brushing your teeth. When you have braces, properly brushing your teeth is just as important to achieving a bright, beautiful smile. Brushing with braces isn’t difficult, but there are some important things to remember. Check out our Brushing with Braces 101.


Establish a Routine

Have the Right Tools


Here is everything you’ll need:


  • A cup

  • Toothpaste

Dr. Cameron Jolley was honored to be a part of the Angle Orthodontist Journal, for his participation in research for anterior open bite malocclusion (AOB) in adults. He was mentioned in this journal along with 13 other doctors and practices.




What is AOB?


AOB stands for "adult anterior open bite," which is a condition in the maxillary and mandibular teeth when contact is lost. In other words, the patient's upper and lower teeth slant outward when their mouth is shut. This condition can occur in many different ways: it can be hereditary, caused by thumb-sucking, or other foreign objects in a patient's mouth. In the orthodontic world, this is considered one of the most difficult conditions to tr...
