At Wilson Orthodontics we give our patients and future patients a reason to smile all year round. We have monthly contests giving our patients as well as future patients that visit our Web page or Facebook page a chance to win awesome prizes. We currently have an opportunity to win an iPad in our December drawing and we're giving away 4, lower level, 40 yard line tickets to a Falcons game with parking pass, a football and jersey signed by Matt Ryan.

We also have a quarterly drawing for our Referring Doctors staff and have given away a One hour message, a huge grocery themed gift basket with a voice recording grocery list machine, a wonderful Spa themed gift basket, and coming up a great GPS system. In December we surprise our Referring Doctors and their Staff with awesome gifts, this year will be extra special. We have a monthly mailer with Discount coupons for future patients.

We also do events throughout the year and several Fall Festivals at area schools. Where we have a booth we set up with a ton of information, great little give aways and special discounts to all who come by during the event. We always have an awesome turn out.

All of these things we do have created a wonderful Buzz about our office. The positive feed back is non-stop. As we all know word of mouth is an Awesome tool and with every thing we do the words are "Go see Dr.Wilson and his staff you'll be a great hands their the Best!!"

We would like to introduce our “Wii Smile” referral incentive program at Wilson Orthodontics.

Each time a patient referral comes to our office and begins treatment with us your name will be entered into our drawing for a Nintendo Wii System! We will draw names twice a year for our Wii winner!

Names are entered into the drawing on a “first come, first serve basis,” per patient. There is NO limit to the number of patient referrals you can submit. As soon as the referred patient begins treatment, your name will be entered into the drawing.

We would also like to congratulate our December 2008 winner, A.J. Waterer!

The next Wii drawing will be June 15, 2009!! So mark your calendars and start referring other smiles you know to Wilson Orthodontics!

We pride ourselves on receiving referrals from our patients and dental colleagues. The greatest compliment an orthodontic practice can receive is the referral of a friend or family member, and we thank you!

-Dr. Wilson & the Ortho Team

Please note: In order to receive credit for your patient referral, you must submit your “Patient Referral” on our web site under the “Contact Us” tab at: www.wilsonbraces.com. If you have any questions about our Wii Smile program please contact our practice at 678-971-2461.

Usually patients in orthodontic treatment already have their permanent teeth – but in some cases we have to start treatment earlier, even before the patient’s permanent teeth come in. We call this “two-phase treatment.”

When we have patients with clear developmental problems at an early age, it’s best to start work when they are young, before the problems get bigger and more difficult to treat. Examples include an upper or lower jaw that is not growing correctly, or a mouth growing in a way that doesn’t leave enough room for all the permanent teeth to come in.

In these cases we will start early and do one round of treatment – phase one – while your child still has “baby teeth.” Phase one usually does not involve braces, but can include a different type of appliance that helps the jaw grow into place properly, such as a retainer. We’ll follow up with phase two usually a few years later, when your child's permanent teeth have come in. Phase two often does involve braces and sometimes headgear.

In order to catch early problems, we recommend that children have an orthodontic check-up no later than age seven (and so does the American Association of Orthodontics). However, if your dentist or pediatrician sees any sign that early treatment might be necessary, he or she may recommend your child visit an orthodontist even sooner. For more information about two-phase orthodontics, or to schedule a consultation with Dr. Wilson please call 678-971-2461 in Gainesville or 678-866-3295 in Hoschton and visit our web site.
