A brief blog post here...  

Swords Orthodontics got their Invisalign promotional month off to a great start with Dr Stephen Murray attending a special day of lectures and demonstrations from Dr Donna Galante, a very popular and widely respected Invisalign expert from California. There was a group of specialist orthodontists from all over the country at this and it was well received by everyone interested in providing better clear braces treatment for their patients using the Invisalign system. Dr Galante was planning to also take a few days of sight seeing in Ireland before returning to her practice in Rocklin, near Sacramento.

The Invisalign presentation was very informative and Dr Murray is very keen to be able to use some of the tips and techniques he learned over the day in the near future. Apart from being almost invisible and able to straighten out smiles without people noticing, other benefits include

  • fewer scheduled visits compared to fixed metal braces, and fewer breakages, both of which lead to less disruption to the patient (and their parents if the patient is a child) and less time off work or school or both if a parent needs to leave work to collect a child from school and take them to see their orthodontist.
  • easier to get used to
  • less discomfort is reported when a patient wears elastics between one jaw and another
  • easier to keep the teeth clean
  • easier to speak
  • easier to wear mouthguards and gumshields

And don't forget - for the month of October 2014, 
Swords Orthodontics is offering €500 off the regular price for our full Invisalign treatment,
and a free initial consultation to assess your suitability for this form of treatment.

The new conventions, corporate indifference or protectionism

Yesterday I bought some blue tooth headphones.

Sony.

I normally have a caution about mega brands, because I think the price reflects the cost of making them a mega-brand, and telling everyone about them, as well as simply building a good product, but I had a series of other brands that had let me down, and I use Sony noise cancelling headphones for plane journeys, so I took a punt. The thing for me isn't the sound quality, it's how well they fit my ears and how long the battery lasts. Sony does very well on both counts. But when I went to plug in my charger....it ...
