Every year Get It Straight awards college scholarships to eleven of our patients in the Greater Rochester NY area who excel in community service.
The 2009/2010 college scholarships will be awarded soon to local area high schools students in the Monroe, Ontario, and Wayne County area who were eligible to participate. Any patient in our practice who has completed orthodontic treatment with braces or Invisalign in either of our three locations in Pittsford, Macedon and new location is Rochester on Latta Rd is eligible to apply.

Children are born with a natural sucking reflex that often evolves into a comfort behavior. It is not at all unusual for an infant or child to find a thumb or finger to calm themselves when tired or upset as a coping mechanism. Ultrasound scans have revealed that thumb sucking can start before birth, as early as 15 weeks from conception. Even though a sucking reflex disappears at about four months of age, some infants will continue to suck their thumb or fingers as a voluntary habit to soothe themselves. It helps provide a sense of security and relaxes children as they fall asleep. Thumb sucking can be one of the most comforting aspects of childhood.
At Get It Straight Orthodontics, our number one concern is our patients! This is why we are joining football great Emmitt Smith, his family, and the American Association of Orthodontics during the month of April to help raise awareness and increase the use of facial protection in youth sports in Pittsford, Rochester, Macedon and the surrounding areas.
Watch this video on YouTube about the importance of wearing mouth guards and protective gear when playing contact sports. You can also download a free Emmitt Smith Family Poster at http://www.braces.org/sportsafety/sports_safety_tips.html
