Every day for the first four months of 2015 we had our great patient Hot Shot Contest going on. Patients that were on time to their appointment, had worn their intra-oral elastics as prescribed, were brushing their teeth well and hadn’t broken any of their braces were given the chance to shoot a basket and immediately win a movie pass or girl scout cookies (purchased from our Girl Scout patients of course).

Anyone that made a basket was invited back to the final shootout for a fun time and a chance to win Beats Headphones!

As always our local community came along side us. We want to thank Pinkabella Cupcakes for the mini cupcakes that provided for each contestant. We also want to thank Jamba Juice of Redmond for providing smoothies for every hot shot!

Watch the video and see how much fun was being had. Thanks for being part of our patient family. We love having the chance to love and care for you, and of course to provide you with world class orthodontic treatment. As always, if you or someone you know is considering orthodontic treatment with braces or invisalign, please have them give us a call at Bruner Orthodontics in Redmond, or Duvall Orthodontics, in Duvall!!!

When we do our jobs well we finish treatment on all of our patients every 1.5 to 2 years! That’s why we always need new patients and we appreciate and are honored by the referrals of your family and friends. Whenever we are looking ahead we like to look back and remember where we have been. This helps us gain perspective, plan for the future, and anticipate the things ahead. Below is a look at 2014 in words and in video. Again thanks for allowing us to be a part of your lives!

JANUARY 2014 – Dr. Matthew Bruner was awarded “Top Dentist” in Seattle Met Magazine, an award that is voted on by his dental colleagues.

MARCH 2014 – Our Bruner Orthodontic Hot Shot Great Patient Contest ran from January to March: If you came your appointments on time, did a great job brushing, wore your rubber bands as prescribed, and avoided breaking your braces you were eligible to take a shot in our Hot Shot Contest. Just for making the basket, you won a movie ticket and were then eligible to come back for the “Bruner Orthodontics Hot Shot Shoot Out” where 3 iPad mini’s were given away! We had over 50 winners and more fun than ever…

Congratulations to our 3 winners that took home new iPad minis: Lauren D, Caitlyn S, and Carly P!

April 2014 – Voted by you, the members of our community, Dr. Matthew Bruner was recognized as the Best Orthodontist by 425 Magazine. Thank you for such an honor.

In order to thank our patients and celebrate our recognition in 425 Magazine, Bruner Orthodontics hosted a Patient Celebration Event at Zoe Yogurt in Redmond. Every patient was invited to enjoy their favorite frozen yogurt. You can see the highlights in a video below.

May 2014 – Mother’s Day Concluded our annual celebration of moms in our practice. We are intentional in our efforts to help coach our patients in meaningful ways. During the months of March, April and May, our patients were invited to write postcards to their moms during our Annual Mother’s Day Contest. Approximately 500 postcards were mailed out just before Mother’s day thanking our moms for everything that they do for us! Congratulations to Logan M., whose postcard was randomly drawn as our 2014 Winner – her mom won dinner and a movie for a date night compliments of Bruner Orthodontics!

June 2014 – Patient Appreciation. Over 700 patients joined us to watch How to Train your Dragon 2 during our 5^th Annual Patient Appreciation Movie Day. The day was filled with laughs, smiles, prizes, and tons of fun! We had a photo-booth contest, Facebook contest, gave away tons of raffle prizes and our patients enjoyed their concessions too! Congratulations to all the winners at this event but a special shout out to Emily Q. for winning the photo-booth contest, to Garret S. for winning the iPad for the most facebook likes on your movie day picture!

June – September 2014 Summer T-Shirt Contest. Where did you go this summer? During our Summer t-shirt contest, that ran from June through September, our patients sent us pictures from their summer adventures! By entering this fun contest, our patients were eligible to win an iPad mini! Congratulations to Courtney S. and Lindsay F, the winners of our 2014 contest.

October 2014 Continuing Education – At Bruner Orthodontics, we strive to always get better. Our Front Office Team traveled to Anaheim, CA for the Pacific Coast Society of Orthodontics annual meeting. Not only was it fun, we learned a lot about how to make your experience in our office even better!

Following the Halloween Holiday, our healthy patients turned in almost 400 pounds of candy during our Annual Candy Giveback Contest! That candy was donated to charity (and out of our patients hands) and the lucky random winner drawn was Adie S! She won dinner and movie for her family.

November 2014 Teaching Thankfulness

During our Annual Thankful Turkey Contest, our patients were asked to write what they are thankful for on a colorful turkey. The turkeys were posted in our office for all to appreciate. We hope these efforts helped to teach thankfulness to our patient’s. Congratulations to Grace J. for being the random winner of our Thankful Turkey Contest. Grace also took home a new iPad mini!

December 2014 Giving Back

Share the Warmth: During the months of December and January, Bruner Orthodontics collected jackets, gloves, and hats to help people stay warm during the winter. The items were donated to various charities.

Other things that happened in 2014:

2014 was filled with many other things that the Bruner Orthodontics team did to give back to the community. Dr. Bruner and Dr. Helgen gave oral hygiene instruction and supplies to approximately 1,600 students in an effort to eliminate cavities and to help kids have “Healthy Teeth for a Healthy Life.”

2014 was our third year with Dr. Lindsey Helgen in our practice but it was our first year of having her with us full time! We are honored to have added such a kind, caring, compassionate, smart and wonderful orthodontist to our team. Together Dr. Bruner and Dr. Helgen see every patient and every set of records. Together they can offer you more available appointment time, more diagnosing power, and the very best that orthodontics can offer!

2014 was our first full year for our Duvall Orthodontics practice. A special thank you to all who supported us by getting their treatment started in our new location in Duvall!

In 2014 Dr. Bruner gave 11 professional lectures to the orthodontic and dental communities: teaching as an appointed faculty member at the University of Pacific School of Dentistry in San Francisco, and lecturing to local and national dental study clubs throughout the year.

In 2014, the Bruner Orthodontic and Duvall Orthodontic teams sponsored sports at 6 local high schools, drama and music performances at 8 elementary schools and 3 junior high schools, the Riverside Education Foundation, individual patient mission trips, a 5k race, and various charities.

2014 brought about our first ever patient testimonial video. Thank you to our patients, Avanti, Joshua, Adam, Lauren, Hannah, Henry, Arlene, Valerie and Lainie for making this sweet video!

Thank you for choosing Bruner Orthodontics and Duvall Orthodontics. We are honored to serve you and our communities. Your continued support means everything to us and we cherish the referrals of your friends and families. Best wishes for a great 2015!
