NEW Patient Instruction Videos
What your patients need to know… Wearing braces and retainers
Created by a UK orthodontist this series of 5 videos, available on DVD or USB, are perfectly targeted for their audience. They are humourous and informative, providing very clear messages for children and teens on how to adapt to their new fixed and removable applicances, how to take care of them and all about wearing retainers.
Find a quiet place in your practice where your patients can watch them, then email them a link to your website a couple of days later where your patients can view them on-line as a reminder.
The USB/DVD has 5 videos and features Vincenzo Pellegrino of Casualty, Tracey Beaker and Where the Heart Is fame
