Thanks for the question. Our friends at the American Association of Orthodontists have put together a helpful list that outlines when you should call us at Gerlein Orthodontics. Here are some early warning signs indicating it’s time to check in with Dr. Eduardo Gerlein and our staff at our Chevy Chase office:
What better way to spend the fall months than inside by the fireplace with a warm cup of cider and a book in hand? Dr. Gerlein and our team encourage you to warm up your mind this holiday season with a couple of great books. Sure it may be easy to put off reading when balancing a busy schedule, but reading is vital to kids' brain development. Plus, reading is always fun!
At Gerlein Orthodontics, we embrace new technology, whether it is through the innovative orthodontic treatments that Dr. Gerlein offers, our high-tech web site and social networks, or our modern office conveniently located in Chevy Chase.
If you recently completed treatment at Gerlein Orthodontics, we’d like to congratulate you! Now that your braces have been removed, Dr. Gerlein will provide—or has provided you at this point—with your own set of retainers.
This week marks National Young Reader’s Week, and during this time, it’s more important than ever for our team at Gerlein Orthodontics to remind you to read on a regular basis. After all, reading helps kids develop the mind, expands a child’s knowledge base, activates his or her flow of ideas and boosts their confidence. Plus, reading is fun!
At Gerlein Orthodontics we offer a Rewards Program that encourages and makes young patients eager to come for their visits. When they come in, they can accumulate points for good oral hygiene, brushing their teeth before the appointment, having nothing broken or loose and other things so they can receive a gift card of their choice when they reach a certain amount of points. 
Dr. Gerlein and team know how difficult it can be to get patients, especially the young ones, to take good care of their teeth between visits during their orthodontic treatment. 
October is National Orthodontic Health Month, and we wanted to remind our patients at Gerlein Orthodontics to be extra careful when they bite into their treats. 
It might seem crazy, but there are so many rumors out there about what’s good for your teeth, what’s bad for your teeth, why it's so important to have straight teeth, when you should schedule a consultation at Gerlein Orthodontics, and so on. Below are are answers to some of the most frequent questions Dr. Eduardo Gerlein thought he'd answer about braces.
Summer is officially here for only three more full weeks, which means it's a great time for Dr. Eduardo Gerlein and our staff to remind our patients (especially you athletes) to take care of both your mouth and appliances while participating in contact sports (and non-contact sports) this fall. Let's face it, this is a busy time of year sports-wise, whether you're playing baseball in the park or getting serious about high school football.
Now that many of the schools here in Chevy Chase are back in session, Dr. Gerlein and our staff would like to take this time to remind all our patients about the importance of scheduling fall appointments in advance. 
"He is very friendly and personable. Remembers his patients and cares about them. Dr. Gerlein has a great relationship with his staff and it makes for a warm environment." ~ Cari S.
Braces today are “cool” and dare we say, “fun!” These were among the findings of a 2010 nationwide survey of moms whose children are going through or have had orthodontic treatment recently. New technologies such as Invisalign and iBraces, advanced computer software, color options, and even popular celebrities sporting stylish braces are making orthodontic treatment more comfortable, fashionable and cool for today’s teens. 
Dr. Eduardo Gerlein received his degree (MMSc) at Harvard University School of Dental Medicine in Boston, MA. During his three years of specialty training at Harvard, Dr. Gerlein conducted research at Boston's Children's Hospital.
