What are elastics?

With technology on the rise and vlogging (video+blogging) gaining popularity, here at Farmington Valley Orthodontics we will begin to post short one minute videos on our Youtube channel where Dr. Menjivar will answer common orthodontic questions.

Dr. Menjivar loves educating her patients on topics ranging from early orthodontic treatment to mouthguards to Invisalign and more. She enjoys the challenge of taking complex topics and communicating them in a clear way that people of all ages can follow. Her patients consistently praise her for her clarity in communication and appreciate the time she takes to answer their questions.

We hope you find these video blogs helpful when trying to understand more about braces and orthodontics. Are braces right for me? Do they hurt? Am I too old for braces? What is Invisalign and how does it work? The vlogs will also gives you a glimpse into Dr. Menjivar’s life and passion for orthodontics and teaching.
