A. S. Review
A. S. Left us a review: It was so exciting entering this new phase of no braces (I got them off last week) but i have to admit, I'll miss them too. Everyone is always so sweet and honestly quite pretty. Bradey is so so cute and Dr Griffin has too many muscles for her own good, but all the more to love her!!
A special shout-out to Jo!! Thank you so so much for always being so excited to see me! I love that out birthdays are so close together, like we were meant to be!! Not to get sappy, but remembering your smile genuinely helped me through rough patches. ♥️

Can you swim with braces?
One of our most-asked summer questions: "Can I swim with braces?"
Short answer: absolutely, yes!
Pool water won't damage your brackets or wires. The only thing to watch for is chlorine drying out your mouth — which can temporarily make your lips more sensitive to wires. A thin layer of wax on any sharp spots before swimming solves this instantly.
Ocean swimming is fine too. Salt water is actually gentle on soft tissue.
The one real summer rule? Rinse your mouth with fresh water after swimming, and don't skip your brushing routine after a poolside snack.
