Happy October! For those who don't know, it’s National Orthodontic Health Month. This month-long event is organized by our pals at the American Association of Orthodontists, or AAO.
Drs. Meade and Riolo realize that this is a great opportunity for us to raise awareness about the importance of oral hygiene. National Orthodontic Health Month also aims to recognize the dedicated work of orthodontists like Drs. Meade and Riolo and other dental professionals in Ypsilanti.
The AAO recommends patients avoid the following Halloween treats, or recipes with these ingredients:
• Caramel
• Nuts
• Popcorn (including un-popped kernels)
• Taffy
• Jelly beans
• Hard pretzels
• Licorice
• Bubblegum
• Ice
If you have any questions, please feel free to give us a call, ask us on Facebook, or ask us during your visit this month!

Who’s afraid of “metal mouth” and the appearance of braces? Not adults, apparently. Recently, our staff at Meade and Riolo Orthodontics read a fascinating statistic: the number of adults getting braces has actually climbed 24 percent since 1996! Yes, braces help make your pearly whites strong, healthy and perfectly-aligned, but perhaps another reason for the spike in adult braces is this: people want to look and feel great. In an age—and society—where looks matter as much as anything, and at a time when evenly-aligned and sparkling teeth might be the difference between getting a job or a promotion, adults are choosing—wisely, we might add—to invest in orthodontics. Orthodontic treatment with Drs. Meade and Riolo can be successful at any age, and adults especially appreciate the benefits of a beautiful smile.
If you’ve been thinking about getting that perfect smile, we would love to have you visit for a consultation. Please give us a call to set one up!

Our team at Meade & Riolo Orthodontics just returned from the MASO/GLAO Annual Meeting for Orthodontics in Pittsburgh, PA. We all had a blast and we really got to connect as a team. Teamwork and interdisciplinary care were the focus of the great educational programs that were provided for both doctors and staff during the 3 day convention. We strive to provide the best in orthodontic care for our patients, and events like this help us connect and learn as a team.
