I am fortunate enough to once again sponsor this year’s Lines in the Lagoon festivities.  This will be the 2^nd  annual event started by a group of high school boys that could best be described as “river enthusiasts”!  Specifically, their goal is to raise money for the lagoon (last year $22,000) and funds will be donated to ORCA, CCA and ELC and most importantly, to raise awareness about what is happening in the lagoon and kids are the perfect target audience!  The first activity is an Indian River Lagoon cleanup slated for Sept. 19^th.  Any location along the river will do - just seek out trash and pick it up.  You will be amazed at what’s out there!   The 2^nd activity is a catch and release fishing tournament for kids and fish of all ages Oct. 17th – you must register at www.linesinthelagoon.com.   After fishing, a casual family awards dinner will be held from 4:00 to 7:00 at the Backus Museum in Ft Pierce with raffles, food, dunk tank and don’t forget, music by my band the KILLER WAILS!!!  (alternative rock band - no country, rap, and absolutely, positively no brown- eyed girl!)   By the way, I heard the drummer was fantastic, steady tempo, never misses a beat!   Even if you don’t have participants in the tournament, come on out at 4:00 and jam with the Killer Wails and donate to this great cause!  

                                                         
                             

                                                HAPPY BIRTHDAY SURF BUCKS!

February is National Children's 

Dental Health Month 

It’s that time of year again! February is National Children’s Dental Health Month! At Legler Orthodontics we truly enjoy raising awareness about the importance of good oral health, especially at a young age. Every year, Dr. Legler  visits elementary schools all along the Treasure Coast to teach children the importance of developing healthy habits at an early age.

Your smile is one of your most valuable assets; therefore an early start to developing good oral health habits and scheduling regular dental visits will give children a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums. We also want our patients to understand the importance of oral health while wearing braces. Poor oral hygiene can increase the length of time in braces and also significantly compromise the final results. Some of the risks involved when not keeping teeth and gums clean while in braces include, gum disease, cavities, tooth decay, and permanent white spots known as decalcification. Even though brushing and flossing requires extra time and effort while in braces, your beautiful “Legler Smile” at the end of treatment will be well worth it!

The team at Legler Orthodontics is more than happy to help explain why effective brushing and flossing is one of the most critical aspects of your Orthodontic Treatment. If you have any questions, please feel free to give us a call! For a guide to brushing and flossing with braces, please visit our website at www.bracesatlegler.com.

             This is your MOMent

GIVE YOURSELF A SMILE THAT LASTS A LIFETIME…

So often we hear mothers of our young patients say “As soon as my child is done, it is my turn for a beautiful smile.” More and more adults are seeking orthodontic treatment. According to a recent study by the American Association of Orthodontists, the number of adult patients currently receiving orthodontic treatment was over one million adults. And these adult patients are thrilled with the results of their treatment. In a post-orthodontic survey, 92% of adult respondents say they would recommend orthodontic treatment to other adults. They reported increased self-confidence and improved relationships in their career and/or personal life.

This Mother’s Day, Legler Orthodontics would like to help moms who are interested, get the orthodontic treatment they deserve. For the entire month of May, we are offering a $500 discount off the cost of new Invisalign treatment. Dr. Legler is a Premier Provider for Invisalign, which means he is in the top 5% of Invisalign doctors in the United States. So rest assured moms, your smile will be beautiful after Invisalign treatment with Dr. Legler this May.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Please call our office for a free consultation to get started now!

Enjoy your special day!

Earth Day 2014

Earth Day

Earth Day is celebrated every year on April 22 and teaches people that the planet belongs to everyone, so everyone is equally responsible for protecting it. Many events are demonstrated worldwide to raise awareness about how we can show support for environmental protection. It is a day to inspire appreciation for the Earth’s environment and learn the many issues that can threaten it.

Here at Legler Orthodontics, Earth Day is not only important to us on April 22 every year, it is extremely important to us every day! All three of our offices are located on the Treasure Coast of Florida: Vero Beach, Fort Pierce and Port St. Lucie. The beautiful waterways of this area are what attracted Dr. Lee Legler to start practicing here in 1991.  His love of surfing is even carried through in the theme of all our offices!  So keeping our waterways on the Treasure Coast clean and safe for the generations of “Legler Smiles” to come is quite important to all of us here at Legler Orthodontics.

Please join us this Earth Day and every day to help protect our waterways of the Treasure Coast of Florida.  You and  your family can make a difference today!  Check out the links below and like them on Facebook to see how many other organizations and people from our community are contributing and what you can do to help!
