Congratulations Melissa From Stevens Orthodontics

At Stevens Orthodontics, we want to say Congratulations to our wonderful staff member Melissa. After working at Stevens Orthodontics--and seeing how happy our patients are to get a new smile--Melissa decided to give it a try herself. She only had her braces on for 13 months, and she was able to get the smile she always dreamed of. So Congratulations on your beautiful smile Melissa from Dr. Stevens and the rest of us over here at Stevens Orthodontics!

How To Stay Young And Healthy from Stevens Orthodontics

Whether you’re 5 or 50, your health depends on your awareness of what’s good for you. But in a world filled with fad diets, blaring advertisements, and unintelligible ingredient lists, we at Stevens Orthodontics know it can be difficult to determine exactly what is good for you – and what’s not.

For straightforward guidance on how to live a long, healthy life, we recommend Brush Your Teeth! And Other Simple Ways to Stay Young and Healthy by Dr. David Ostreicher. The book sums up good health in six fundamental principles: hygiene, diet, attitude, exercise, sleep and personal safety.

Drawing on nearly three decades of experience as an orthodontist and professor of health and nutrition, Dr. Ostreicher definitively answers age-old debates, like the best way to prevent colds and flu (your mom was right: wash your hands). He provides straight talk on a variety of diet choices including salt, fats, carbs and organic food, and he documents the importance of regular sleep, stress reduction and positive thinking to your overall health. His suggestions throughout are simple, clear, and inexpensive.

Dr. Ostreicher advocates a back-to-basics, common-sense approach to staying young and healthy. We at Stevens Orthodontics couldn’t agree more, and we’d like to repeat the title of his book as our favorite piece of advice: don’t forget to Brush Your Teeth!

Stevens Orthodontics Are Continuing Their Education

At Stevens Orthodontics, we care about continuing education. In the dental and orthodontic fields, you have to stay on top of the latest technology and research to deliver superior care. But at Stevens Orthodontics, we go above and beyond just educating ourselves. We wanted to reach out to dental professionals throughout the Tallahassee area. So we hosted an OSHA compliance meeting for dental practitioners in the area. We had great results. Over 140 dentists showed up!

Check out these great pictures of our Dr. Stevens and his staff and the event.

Stevens Orthodontics Is Greening Their Practice

Dr. Lucas Stevens and Stevens Orthodontics know how important it is to protect the environment. That is why we make concerted efforts in our practice to make our office environmentally friendly.

We are paperless! Online record-keeping software allows us to cut down on so much paper waste.

We offer digital x-rays! Not only do digital x-rays reduce toxins and exposure to radiation for our patients, but we do not need to use toxic chemicals to develop the film.

We recycle! Reducing, reusing, and recycling helps out the Earth, but also keeps our costs down for our patients. So everybody benefits!

Next time you are in our office, tell us you care too, and we'll explain the great advances we make at Stevens Orthodontics.
