Taking Care Of Your Smile

It’s often said that smiling is infectious. What many don’t realize is that some smiles spread more quickly than others. If you’d like your smile to be even more catching than usual, you’ll have to take really good care of your teeth. Naturally, brushing, rinsing, and flossing, are a given when it comes to dental care. But when’s the last time you or your friends visited your orthodontist?


What Do Orthodontists Do? 

A dentist must complete a two to three year residency to become an orthodontic specialist. Many people see orthodontists as “the guys who set braces”, which is oversimplified. They actually deal with many issues, including:


  • Overbite
  • Underbite
  • Misaligned teeth
  • Crowded teeth


The simplest way to explain it is this: while dentists deal with the hygiene of the teeth by fighting tooth decay, orthodontists are concerned with malocclusions, that is, bad bites.


What Will Dr. Gluck Do?

Gluck Orthodontics is the king of the Belle Meade orthodontics industry. Gluck Orthodontics was founded by Dr. Joel Gluck, who has been practicing for over 30 years. Dr. Gluck is supported by a stalwart, well-trained, and well-educated team, including his son Dr. Jonathan Gluck.


Dr. Gluck has been Board Certified since 1993. Board Certification is the highest honor an orthodontist can aspire to. It takes a dedicated, superb career in the field to be eligible for this, and it is very rare. How rare is it? Only 25% of orthodontists have earned it.


On your first visit, your orthodontic history will be looked over to figure out the proper care and fee. You can then relax in the capable hands of Dr. Gluck and his team.


Come over to Gluck Orthodontics. Neither you nor your smile will regret it!
