CANDY BUYBACK
Each year we buyback candy from our patients and the elementary schools in West Islip at $1 per pound and they donate their proceeds to the charity of their choice! We have been lucky to have the Marines help us every year so far and they ship all of the candy to Afghanistan to our troops who share it with the kids there.

Dr. Tichler and Sister Rosemary team up

Dr. Tichler and Sister Rosemary, Chaplain in Good Samaritan Hospital, found they had something in common when Sister Rosemary became his orthodontic patient. It was music! An accomplished pianist, Sister Rosemary invited Dr. Tichler to play with her in the lobby at Good Samaritan Hospital during the holidays. They played Christmas carols in December, Irish lullabies on St. Patrick's Day and they will team up again to play patriotic songs on June 30th to celebrate the 4th of July!

Over 50? Consider Braces To Improve Your Smile!

Braces aren't just for teenagers anymore.

They are an investment in good oral and overall health at any age.

Here are some reasons why more adults are considering braces:

• People are living longer and want to take care of their teeth. Misaligned teeth can lead to other dental problems such as tooth decay and gum disease.
• Many orthodontic problems can be corrected as easily for adults as for children.
• Orthodontic treatment can help correct crooked teeth or spaces that you have been self-concious about for years.
• Straight teeth can give you improved confidence and self-esteem. A beautiful straight smile can help you feel more confident when meeting new people or interviewing for a job.
• There are many options available today to minimize the appearance of braces. Today's appliances are smaller and sleeker and if you are a candidate for Invisalign they are next to invisable!
