Morning setup at the Madrona Mayfair

The Madrona May Fair took place yesterday and Riolo Orthodontics was there! We sponsored the Kid's Concert featuring the " Not-Its" .   Miranda and Andrew were handing out Balloons with "Lakeview Kids Dentistry" and "LakeView Orthodontics" logos; there was lots of chocolate too….

At Riolo Orthodontics we are not just about Incognito and lingual brackets…. We love to do kids' braces also. At our Madrona location "Lakeview Orthodontics" we have lots of kid patients. We share space with Dr. Stephen Stuehling at Lakeview Kids Dentistry, www.LakeviewKidsDentistry.com

The Riolo Orthodontics May Fair kids concert

We are hoping for sunny weather the weekend of May 12th. The second Saturday in May is the Mayfair in Madrona and rain or shine the May fair will begin at 9:00 AM and the festivities will continue all day. Fellow Madrona residents, the Madrona Community Council, and Madrona businesses including Riolo Orthodontics and Lake View Kids Dentistry are pitching in to make it a great event.

Riolo Orthodontics supports May Fair in Madrona

People will start gathering at Alvin Larkins Park around 9:00 AM and the parade (which consists of neighborhood kids on bikes and their parents walking along) will get started around 9:30 AM. The parade will go along 34th Avenue and end at Madrona Playground where there will be free entertainment including pony rides, bouncy house, face painting, and other carnival games. St. Cloud’s and Molly Moon’s will be selling food and there will also be a neighborhood bake sale. So come down to the Madrona Mayfair – it will be a great time no matter the weather!

Jacqui eating oysters with her Incognito braces

There are a number of places on the internet to get information directly from patient about what it is like to wear Incognito braces.  I am going to try and begin listing these resources.  I will start with Jacqui who is a 3M Unitek employee and is writing a blog documenting her experience with her orthodontic treatment using the Incognito system.

She is 30 years old and although she had traditional braces when she was a kid, her teeth moved over the years and she decided to straighten her teeth with Incognito Hidden Braces!

Jacqui is tracking her progress and experiences on her blog so that others can decide if getting Incognito Hidden Braces is an appropriate choice for them.  If you’re looking into for hidden braces for yourself,  more information is available at HiddenBraces.com If you want to learn more about Jacqui and what her life’s been like since she became Incognito Jacqui, follow along at IncognitoJacqui.3m.ca Jacqui is happy to answer questions about her experiences , you can email her via  this link.

Braces? What Braces?

In 2011 we received a lot of attention regarding our Incognito braces.  Seattle Met Magazine wrote:

Gone are the days of “brace face” and “metal mouth.” Incognito braces are the hot new way to straighten teeth. More discreet than traditional braces and able to correct misaligned teeth to a greater extent than Invisalign’s clear, removable aligners, Incognito braces are cast in gold in Germany, custom made, and fitted to the tongue side of your teeth—making them undetectable to anyone but the wearer. Dr. Christopher Riolo, who tested out the braces on his own teeth for two years, is the only orthodontist in Seattle to offer them, and reports they are “more accurate and efficient than traditional braces.” Dr. Christopher Riolo at Riolo Orthodontics, 509 Olive Way, Ste 824, 206-467-4441; http://www.seattleorthodontist.com
