We only recommend treatment for our patients that we would perform on our own children.

It’s summer here at Drs. Eckler and Black Orthodontists a season full of vacations, adventures and great memories. Whether you are headed to a barbeque, a camping trip, baseball game or just having fun in the sun, we want to hear about it! Leave a comment here on our blog or Facebook page and tell us about your summer!
Happy (and safe) travels!
If you’ve recently completed your treatment at Drs. Eckler & Black Orthodontists, our entire team would like to congratulate you – again! Now that your braces have been removed successfully, Drs. Eckler or Black will provide—or have provided you—with retainers. After braces are removed, teeth can – and do – shift out of position if they are not stabilized. Retainers, you see, provide that stabilization, and are designed to hold teeth in their corrected, ideal positions until the bones and gums adapt to the treatment changes. Wearing retainers exactly as instructed by Drs. Eckler and Black is the best insurance that the treatment improvements last for a lifetime.
To learn more about the advantages of wearing retainers after your orthodontic treatment, we encourage you to give us a call or ask us on Facebook!
There are so many rumors out there about what’s good for your teeth, what’s bad for your teeth, what will make your teeth crooked, what will discolor your teeth, and so on. Your Orthodontic Treatment with Drs. Eckler & Black will progress quickly if you follow these simple rules!
• You may want to stick to a soft diet for a few days after your braces are placed.
• Brush your teeth at least 3 times per day
• Visit your dentist regularly to have your teeth cleaned and checked for cavities
• Keep all of your scheduled appointments. Limit the number of breakages. Missing visits and excessive breakages will prolong your treatment.
• Call the office if a wire or bracket is broken or causing discomfort.
• Avoid sticky, chewy, hard foods and any foods that are high in sugar.
• Avoid hard pizza crust, nuts, hard popcorn kernels, caramels, gummy bears, gum and toffee.
• Cut up apples and carrots into bite size pieces, remove meat from chicken wings and ribs and remove corn from the cob.
• Chewing on pencils or ice cubes can cause your braces to break.
We hope you’re having a great week and a great summer so far! If you are planning on traveling with family this summer or think you might not be able to make it to your scheduled adjustment appointment with Drs. Eckler or Black, please let us know ahead of time so that we may be able to accommodate you, as well as schedule another patient at that appointment time.
Also, we ask that you give us a call at our Brampton or Mississauga orthodontic office and and let us know if you have any new phone numbers or if your contact information has changed! Please call us with any updates to phone numbers and addresses, so we may be able to reach you. Thank you! Enjoy your weekend!
