The Berky Family's Horse Riding Endeavors

Dr. Berky's two daughters, Maggie and Hannah, are competitive horse riders, and we wanted to share a bit of news about their recent accomplishements. Maggie, who rides Rollingwoods Meant To Be ("BB") in the Hunter Jumper category, recently qualified for the USEF National Pony Finals in Lexington, KY. She placed 49th out of 89th in her division, competing against people from all around the country.


Hannah competes in the Western All-Around, and rides her prize Pop's Prize ("Pretty Boy"). She competes competitively, and actually shows in the APHA Western All-Around Division. We've included two photos here on the blog, but check out our Facebook for the rest!

Am I too old for braces?

Recently, our staff at Berky Orthodontics read a fascinating statistic: the number of adults getting braces has actually climbed 24 percent since 1996! Yes, braces help make your pearly whites strong, healthy and perfectly-aligned, but perhaps another reason for the spike in adult braces is this: people want to look and feel great. In an age—and society—where looks matter as much as anything, and at a time when evenly-aligned and sparkling teeth might be the difference between getting a job or a promotion, adults are choosing—wisely, we might add—to invest in orthodontics. Orthodontic treatment with Dr. Berky can be successful at any age, and adults especially appreciate the benefits of a beautiful smile.

If you’ve been thinking about getting that perfect smile, Dr. Berky would love to have you visit for a consultation. Please give us a call to set one up!

Distinguishing the myths and facts about orthodontics, from Berky Orthodontics

Trust us when we say Dr. Berky and our staff know there are quite a few myths about orthodontics (and orthodontists) floating around these days. But before you buy into those myths, we think you should get the facts! Our friends at the American Association of Orthodontists set the record straight (no pun intended) and have provided some information that sheds some light on the myths and facts of orthodontics. We encourage you to check them out today!

If you have any questions about orthodontics or your treatment here at Berky Orthodontics of High Point and Greensboro, NC, feel free to give us a call.

The advantage of SureSmile®

Does the thought of having braces bring you down? The team at Berky Orthodontics understands that one of the biggest concerns for orthodontic patients with braces is the length of their treatment.

But you’re in luck, because Dr. Berky specializes in SureSmile, high-tech braces that are revolutionizing the orthodontic industry. SureSmile, which combines digital 3-D imaging, has computer-aided treatment planning and customized archwires to straighten teeth about 40 percent faster than traditional braces. The SureSmile program calculates the exact shape and pattern of the teeth and bends and cuts the braces wires, with more precision than traditional braces.

The SureSmile system allows us to create your entire treatment plan prior to treatment, using special computer software to analyze the 3-D model of your mouth and develop a custom archwire treatment. SureSmile’s robotic technology bends Shape Memory Alloy archwires, which can “remember” your prescription.

Results

With SureSmile’s specially programmed archwires, your teeth move more directly into their intended positions. The result for our patients is shortened treatment time and a more comfortable experience in braces.

Once the braces are on it’s only a matter of time before they are taken off revealing beautiful, straight, healthy teeth. With traditional braces a patient is expected to schedule 18 to 20 office visits over two years. With SureSmile, patients average seven to 10 visits and can have their braces off within half the time!

If you’re considering orthodontic treatment, please contact Dr. Berky today!
