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!

            Our fabulous patient rewards program, SURF BUCKS is celebrating it's 2nd Birthday!

  

For the past two years, our lucky Legler Orthodontics patients have been earning points for everything from good brushing to referring their friends for braces. Our patients have redeemed their points for gift cards to cool places like Abercrombie & Fitch, Cheescake Factory, Aeropostale, Best Buy, Target, Bass Pro Shops  and Outback Steakhouse.

Dr. Lee Legler and his entire staff at Legler Orthodontics are committed to making sure their patients enjoy their orthodontic experience.  The Surf Bucks program has really encouraged better patient compliance and enthusiasm about their treatment. Patient involvement is such an important part of achieving that perfect bite and smile!

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.
