Many kids go to sleep-away camp, travel, or visit family for a large part of the summer. Here are some helpful tips to help handle most orthodontic emergencies while you are away:

 As a general rule, always refer to your “No No Food List” if you have any questions. You should call your orthodontist when you experience severe pain or when you have a painful appliance problem that you can’t take care of yourself. Common issues include broken appliances, poking or sharpness from brackets and wires, and general soreness. While we always recommend that you consult us if you experience these issues, you may be able to temporarily solve many problems yourself until you’re able to visit our office. 

 The following solutions may help relieve discomfort:

• General soreness: When you get your braces on, it is very common for you to feel general soreness in your mouth, and teeth may be tender to biting pressures for three to five days. This can be relieved by rinsing your mouth with a warm saltwater mouthwash. Dissolve one teaspoonful of salt in 8 ounces of warm water, and rinse your mouth vigorously. If the tenderness is severe, take over the counter ibuprofen or other headache/pain relief medication.
• Poking wire: Placing wax on the poking edge of the wire is a great way to alleviate the discomfort. 
• Loose bracket or band: If your bracket or band is still attached to the wire, you should move it over to the next stable bracket and put wax on it. If the bracket comes out entirely, wrap the bracket in a tissue or put it in a baggy. If you still are in discomfort, call your orthodontic office for further assistance.

*Feel free to stop into our office during normal business hours to pick up extra wax!*

 Remember, after alleviating your discomfort it is still very important that you call your orthodontic office as soon as possible to schedule a time to repair the problem. Most important, stay calm and know that these things do happen and you can still have fun! Hope everyone has an amazing summer time!

One of our core values is building real and lasting relationships. Getting to know and love our patients is one of the best parts of our job. We learn a lot from you each day. We often take the opportunity to try and teach our younger patients things too. We want to live out an attitude of gratitude and teach our kids to be thankful for what they have. Over the past couple of months we have been running our Annual Mother’s Day Card Contest.

We asked each of our patients to write a postcard to their mother, telling them why they are so great, and thanking them for what they do. We mailed all of them out and we hope you enjoyed them!

We randomly selected one postcard from several hundred entries and that lucky patient one dinner and movie — possibly a date night if you can convince Dr. Bruner to do the babysitting your evening may be complete! Here is our winner Logan M. receiving her prize!

We love our Bruner Orthodontic patients. We work hard to complete treatment on time with excellence. That’s why we need more patients, because we complete treatment everyday!! If you or anyone you know is interested in braces on invisalign, please have them give our office a call at 425.883.3353 so we can set up a complimentary consultation for them! Happy Mother’s Day!

Dr. Bruner has been providing high caliber comprehensive orthodontic care since 2002. He attended Loma Linda University where he received his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in 1998.  After serving in the U.S. Army Dental Corps as a general dentist and flight surgeon for the 25^th Infantry Division at Schofield Barracks, Dr. Bruner left general dentistry in order to become a specialist in orthodontics.  Dr. Bruner graduated with his Masters Degree and specialty certificate in orthodontics from the University of Louisville.  After completing his last tour of duty where he served as the Chief of Orthodontics at Tripler Army Medical Center in Honolulu, HI, Major Bruner and his family returned home to Redmond, Washington.

In July of 2007, Dr. Bruner purchased the orthodontic practice of Dr. Stanley Gile, who happened to be Dr. Bruner’s childhood orthodontist.  The practice remains singularly focused on providing outstanding, compassionate care in a fun and family friendly environment.  The office is committed to using the latest, most technologically advanced and efficient treatment materials available today to make your treatment as fast and comfortable as possible.

Dr. Bruner is a member of the American Dental Association, the American Association of Orthodontists, the Pacific Coast Society of Orthodontists, the Hawaiian Society of Orthodontists and the Washington State Society of Orthodontists.  Dr. Bruner also served as a member of the recognized cleft lip and palate team in Hawaii and as a mentor in two ADA accredited residency training programs.

Dr. Bruner’s commitment to providing his patients with the most outstanding care available is evidenced by the fact that he has earned his board certification in orthodontics. This means that his skills are recognized by a board of his peers, making him a Diplomate, by the American Board of Orthodontics.

Dr. Bruner and his wife Kathryn have been married for 19 years.  They have three kids, Chaz, Hannah and Malia and enjoy living in Redmond. Dr. Bruner is actively involved in his church, coach’s baseball, loves sports and music and enjoys spending time with his family.  He is also passionate about orthodontics and loves to take care of his patients.

Treatment time will also depend on your specific situation as well. Very minimal amounts of tooth movement may only take a few months to correct, while serious malocclusion (poor bite) may need more than two years to correct. Only Dr. Bruner will be able to accurately gage what your treatment will entail and estimate how long it will take. YOU also will play a big part in this as well! Wearing elastics, good oral hygiene and no broken brackets will help keep your treatment plan on track. Refer back to our “No-No Foods List” if you are wondering what foods should be avoided. It will all be worth it in the end! Take a look at our testimonials and see what some of our patients had to say when they got their braces off.

No matter what your treatment time is, you will get beautiful results here at Bruner Orthodontics!

If you are thinking about getting any orthodontic treatment whether its braces or Invisalign, or you just have a few questions, don’t hesitate to give us a call! We would love to set up a complimentary consultation for you!
