Late Afternoon

I was on the flight to the annual meeting of the American Association of Orthodontists. It’s probably the biggest event in the orthodontics world. This year it’s in Los Angeles California.

There was a selection of TV shows and Movies you could watch –which is good as I like to be distracted while flying – and flicking through them I saw a listing for an animated short film that was made in Galway City, about vampires.

I used to work in Galway and knew a few animators at the time. I probably knew some vampires as well, just wasn't aware of it. They’d even been nominated for the Oscars (the animators that is, not the vampires) and went to LA themselves for it – the biggest event in the movies world (but they got beaten by PIXAR).

As it turned out this afternoon’s film wasn’t made by them, and it didn’t seem to have anything to do with vampires. But it was a fabulous film about family and going through life and getting older and everyone should watch it.

It’s called “Late Afternoon” and was made by Cartoon Saloon with Louise Bagnall directing.

The most commonly part of the Index is known as the Dental Health Component (DHC).

There’s a 1 to 5 scale, with 1 …

They did, they did, rock us

Dentistry in general, and orthodontics and the various specialties in particular, can be an isolating sort of profession. You spend most of your time and energy working and thinking in a zone within the reach of your relaxed arms, in a location about the size of a small spare bedroom. …

Didn't know she didn't smile

Had a young patient in for the first time last week, accompanied by her mum. They both knew what needed fixed - a top tooth biting inside the lower teeth instead of outside them: a crossbite.

I went through my usual orthodontic assessment for a new patient, measuring this and that, but I also asked “would your teeth stop you smiling for a photo?”

“Yes.”

I could see her mum’s face change tone, and she said “you never said that, you never told me you didn’t smile.”

At the end of the appointment, after she’d left the room her mum said the same thing to …
