Treatment Options That Have Everybody Smiling!

Our wonderful chair side clinical assistant Sonya (above, with her husband) has been working the orthodontic field for over 20 years. She has worked with a ton of different treatments, but says that Damon® System is definitely “tops!” Damon System braces are advertised as “non-extraction, less pain, fewer office visits, no palatal expanders, and beautiful broad smiles.” For Sonya, “it works,” and here’s why:

“My husband is 43 years old and had severe upper and lower crowding. He had wanted to have his teeth straightened, but was very hesitant because he did not want to have extractions. After months of considering and deciding if maybe he should just be okay with the way his teeth were, he finally went with what I knew would be something he would be glad he did. After having the [Damon System] braces for only four months now, you would not believe the change. He has already had fellow employees, family, & friends comment on how straight his teeth are!”

Damon System braces can treat almost any smile! If you’re interested in learning more about the Damon System, please visit our web site, or contact our practice at (770) 536-0882. Have you already had a treatment with Damon System? If so, let us know what you thought! We would love to hear your feedback, and share your experience with others.

Looking Back on 2008 - Wilson Orthodontics

Another year has passed and many changes have been made here at Wilson Orthodontics. The 2009 year has started off with a bang! We have finally taken down the caution tape and our remodeling is complete. This year we are introducing a new version of Wilson Orthodontics by replacing our paper charting system with a new technologically advanced paperless digital system. This new system requires a computer at every patient’s chair and in every room; and, with this system all of the information you need is only a few clicks away.


Along with our new “High-Tech” computer systems, we are also rebranding our practice as “Your Hometown Orthodontist!” Our office, though now more modern, still gives off a home-like feel. We have given the office more livelihoods with a little color here and there and a few television sets to make your wait a little more comfortable. To make things even more exciting, we will soon have PSPs for our patients to use at each chair. We’re really thinking of everything to make you feel welcome and right at home!

Looking back at 2008 there are so many things that should be mentioned; we tried out some new ideas to liven up the office and give the staff something to have fun with and enjoy while being at work. We had a Halloween Costume Contest and allowed the patients who came in to vote on the employee with the best costume. Sarah Whiting (dressed as a Rodeo Clown) and Cindy Briscoe (a life-size bag of M&M’s) won the contest and were given a pampering prize at a local spa. We also kept a tradition going with our annual Christmas open house. This past year’s open house was the largest we have had so far and it was a great success.


Our office would not be much without the wonderful patients that we are blessed to work with. In 2008 we had some patients that had great starts and even more with great finishes. Last year we had a local celebrity visit Gainesville, Martha Zoller and her daughter Suzanne both finished treatment with us and they both came out with fantastic smiles. We have had a great 2008 looking back, and we are now looking forward to an even better 2009. Stop by and see your hometown orthodontist!

Adults, Too, Can Benefit from Braces - Dr. Ron Wilson DMD

Braces aren’t just for pre-adolescents and teenagers anymore! Anyone, at any age, can benefit from orthodontic care; whether it is correcting a problem not treated in your younger years, or catching a problem early.

To ensure the best overall treatment, the American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children receive an orthodontic consultation as early as age seven. If a problem is evident, taking action early can spare a lot of treatment and expense down the road.

If you never received orthodontic treatment when you were young, don’t worry! You’re never too old for a beautiful smile, and with new technology like Damon self-ligating braces, treatment has never been faster or more comfortable. Set up an appointment for a consultation and find out how adult orthodontics will transform your smile, and your life!

Why Are Straight Teeth So Important? - Gainesville and Hoschton, GA Orthodontist

Some people wonder why we work so hard to give our patients straight teeth. 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 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 678-971-2461 (Gainesville) or 678-866-3295 (Hoschton) to set up a consultation. Dr. Wilson can help you decide whether or not you will benefit from orthodontic treatment.

"Wii" Have a Winner! - Wilson Orthodontics, Gainesville GA

We would like to introduce our “Wii Smile” referral incentive program at Wilson Orthodontics.

Each time a patient referral comes to our office and begins treatment with us your name will be entered into our drawing for a Nintendo Wii System! We will draw names twice a year for our Wii winner!

Names are entered into the drawing on a “first come, first serve basis,” per patient. There is NO limit to the number of patient referrals you can submit. As soon as the referred patient begins treatment, your name will be entered into the drawing.

We would also like to congratulate our December 2008 winner, A.J. Waterer!

The next Wii drawing will be June 15, 2009!! So mark your calendars and start referring other smiles you know to Wilson Orthodontics!

We pride ourselves on receiving referrals from our patients and dental colleagues. The greatest compliment an orthodontic practice can receive is the referral of a friend or family member, and we thank you!

-Dr. Wilson & the Ortho Team

Please note: In order to receive credit for your patient referral, you must submit your “Patient Referral” on our web site under the “Contact Us” tab at: www.wilsonbraces.com. If you have any questions about our Wii Smile program please contact our practice at 678-971-2461.
