Dr. Griffin chats with WUWM about adult orthodontics

May 7th, 2012

Dr. Griffin stopped in to the WUWM radio studio for an interview with Stephanie Lecci last week! Check out the interview, and please share with any adults you know who are considering orthodontics!

May is National Teen Self-Esteem Month, from Dr. Griffin

May 1st, 2012


At Griffin Orthodontics, we know image is everything. At an age when image is so important, the thought of having braces may intensify the already-delicate confidence of today’s teens. Well, May is National Teen Self-Esteem Month, and during this time, parents are encouraged to act as positive role models, help stop negative self-images, and improve confidence and security among teenagers.

One of the great ways to improve your confidence is to improve your smile. And that begins with a consultation with Dr. Griffin. After all, what better time to avoid having crooked teeth in your adulthood?

We invite you to give us a call to schedule a consultation or ask us on Facebook!

Straight talk with Dr. Griffin

April 23rd, 2012


We’ve had patients ask us why Dr. Griffin and our team work so hard to give our patients straight teeth using Invisalign. Of course it’s nice to have a smile full of evenly aligned teeth, but did you know that straightening your teeth can keep them healthier? Straight teeth lead to better oral hygiene, increasing your chances of keeping your own natural teeth for a lifetime.

Straight teeth, Dr. Griffin will tell you, are less prone to decay, because they collect less plaque—the sticky colorless substance that forms on our teeth and leads to tooth decay; and they are easier to keep clean!

If you’re wondering whether your teeth might cause problems because they are out of alignment, give us a call at our West Allis orthodontic office to set up a consultation for Invisalign.
