Drs. Roger Nettune, Kenneth Banasiak, and his team at Banasiak & Nettune Orthodontic Associates would like to point you to a few interesting webisodes about orthodontics, located on the YouTube page of the American Association of Orthodontists, or AAO. There, they tend to post some very pertinent videos about orthodontic treatment, as well as state-of-the-art technology in orthodontia. These include “Orthodontic Treatment Basics,” “Common Bite Problems Seen in Children” and “Does My Child Need Braces?” We think you may find these webisodes interesting, as well as enlightening. If you have any questions about the videos, or your treatment here at Banasiak & Nettune Orthodontic Associates, please give us a call.
