October is a great month full of many wonderful celebrations. Playoff baseball is starting, the Cowboys are winning, breast cancer awareness month is beginning, and we are preparing our costumes for Halloween. Here at Pierson Orthodontics, we are celebrating the start of October for another reason, however; this month is also National Orthodontic Health Month. Although we certainly appreciate orthodontics year-round, these next few weeks we will give special recognition to its history, its benefits, and our wonderful doctors who practice it.
The study of orthodontics has a rich history, dating back to the invention of modern braces in 1915 and beyond. National Orthodontic Health Month has been celebrated in October in order to bring recognition to the significance of orthodontic work and its importance in society. We will be celebrating this month along with thousands of other orthodontics and the American Association of Orthodontists.
Be sure to join in our celebration and come in to see us during National Orthodontic Health Month. If you aren’t a current patient with us yet, we encourage you to come in and give us a visit at Pierson & Saunders Orthodontics in San Antonio, TX. We are eager to meet you and work with you to help you achieve an amazing smile.
