Tidewater Orthodontics, honoring our veterans

Memorial Day weekend is a time Americans remember all those who bravely gave their lives for our country. It’s also the unofficial start of summer, and for many kids, getting out of town for three days with parents after being in school all these months is sure to be sweet, sweet relief.

At Tidewater Orthodontics, we know Memorial Day weekend is ripe for travel. After all, it’s unofficially the start of summer and time for a season full of vacations, adventures and great memories with parents or friends. What are you up to this Memorial Day weekend? What will you be doing on your day off from school or work?

Whether you are headed to a barbeque, a camping trip, or just having fun in the sun this weekend, we’d like to hear all about it! Enjoy the holiday!

May marks National Teen Self-Esteem Month!

At Tidewater Orthodontics, we know image is everything. Especially for today’s teenagers. At an age when image is so important, the thought of having braces may intensify the already-delicate confidence of today’s teens. Well, May is National Teen Self-Esteem Month, and during this time, parents are encouraged to act as positive role models, help stop negative self-images, and improve confidence and security among teenagers.

Both Drs. Ashby & Dailey, as well as our team, will tell you one of the great ways to improve your confidence is to improve your smile. And that begins with a consultation at our convenient offices. After all, what better time to avoid having crooked teeth in your adulthood than coming in for a consultation with Drs. Ashby and Dailey?

We proudly provide traditional braces, Damon System braces, SmartClip, In-Ovation® and Invisalign Teen for today’s image-conscious teens, and invite you to give us a call to schedule your consultation or ask us on Facebook!

What's your story? What made you choose Tidewater Orthodontics?

Dailey have been in the business of making people smile for a long time, and we continue to provide the most effective, up-to-date orthodontic treatments at our offices in Virginia Beach, Norfolk or Chesapeake.

Whether you have visited our office for weeks, months or years, we’d love to hear your feedback about your experience with us!

You may write your review here.

Thank you in advance, and have a great rest of the week!

What’s on your reading list?

With the school year close to winding down for a lot of our patients at Tidewater Orthodontics wanted to remind all our patients about the importance of reading. Sure it’s easy to keep putting off reading this time of year, but reading is a vital step in brain development and literacy. And if you needed any more reason to read, May marks "Get Caught Reading Month.”

Today, we thought we’d ask: What's on YOUR reading list? What are some of your all-time favorites? Out of ideas for great reads? Ask us for suggestions, and we would be happy to provide a few suggestions. You may also ask a local librarian for some ideas on what to read next!

Happy reading! Be sure to share with us your book picks or your all-time favorites novels or literature on our Facebook page!
