Flex Care Planning

Maximize your tax savings! Now is the time to begin planning for Health Care Reimbursement accounts for next year. Most employers require your Health Care Reimbursement account decisions for the next year beginning in October.

If you think your children or other family members might be ready to begin active orthodontic treatment, don’t wait to schedule an appointment. Dr. Kaufman will need to perform a complete evaluation to determine the treatment plan for your child or family member.

At this evaluation, we will be able to review the financial information to enable you to plan the necessary funds to maximize your tax savings through next year’s Health Care Reimbursement account. These appointments book up quickly! RESERVE YOUR COMPLIMENTARY EVALUATION NOW. CALL US AT (585) 424-6400.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are braces?

Braces are used by Dr.Kaufman and Dr. Roland to help improve the look and feel of you smile in Rochester NY! There are several different types of braces to choose from , including:

* Clear braces
* Ceramic braces
* Self-ligating braces
* Traditional metal braces
* Invisible braces

The braces are placed on your teeth by Dr.Kaufman and Dr. Roland. They are positioned very precisely and then literally glued to your teeth. Once the braces are adhered to the teeth then the archwires are placed which cause the teeth to mover to their ideal positions. If you would like to see Dr.Kaufman actually placing them on a patient go to our YouTube video at kaufmanorthodontics to see it for yourself.

Congratulations Andrew Rondeau

Andrew Rondeau who is our patient is in a Play at Geva Theatre "Over the Tavern"

Georgie has Down syndrome. So does Andrew.

Initially, the play’s director, Skip Greer, went out looking for a person to “act” the part, but then Susan Ware, his assistant director, who has worked with actors with disabilities, chimed in.

“And I thought, ‘Well, yes, but wouldn’t it be wonderful if it were somebody with Down syndrome,’” Ware said.

That’s when they found 16-year-old Andrew Rondeau, who is a member of a Rochester-area theater group.

“Mr. Andrew has been here day in and day out for quite a while and is going to be doing eight shows a week for a month,” she said.

Rondeau is tickled to perform on stage at Geva.

“It’s really great,” Rondeau said. “I make people laugh.”

Greer has been more than impressed.

“Andrew is a remarkable specific active listener in a scene which is something I’m always looking forward to as a director,” he said. “Combining his ability to listen and the integrity, truth and honesty that he brings to the role, helps transform the family around him.”

What’s more, Rondeau has used his role to become a role model.

“I think it’s important to give this opportunity to Andrew and others hopefully to rise to this occasion,” Ware said.

“From a kid to an adult that has special needs like me,” Rondeau said.

“Over the Tavern” runs until March 13.

What is your New Year’s Resolution?

Many folks in the Rochester area consider the beginning of a new year a time to not only reflect on the year that was, but also to set personal goals for the upcoming year. How are you planning to improve your health and happiness in 2011? Our team recommend that you make a New Year’s resolution to benefit your oral health!

It is important that New Year’s resolutions are reasonable and attainable, and that they improve your overall quality of life—for example, did you know that flossing every day is the very best way to prevent periodontal, or gum, disease? Using a straw when drinking sugary beverages can also help prevent cavities. There are many small steps that you can take to prevent damage to your braces, and even cavities, oral infections and bad breath.

Be sure to give us a call if you need a few suggestions on ways to improve your oral health, or visit this helpful article from our friends at the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD). After all, we know your oral health is about more than just a beautiful smile.

Happy New Year!

-Your friends at Kaufman Orthodontics
