Here comes the Braces Brigade!

Last summer, you may remember, Dr. Vickie Greenberg and staff blogged about the AAO's Braces Brigade. Well, now the blog is up-and-running, and boy do they have stories to tell!

If you'd like to learn more about what to expect during orthodontic treatment, from someone with firsthand experience, the Braces Brigade blog, where past, present, as well as future orthodontic patients from coast to coast document their orthodontic journeys, is a great place to start.

Dr. Greenberg and team encourage you to visit the Braces Brigade blog to read these great and informative blogs—who knows, maybe you’ll learn a thing or two! As always, don’t hesitate to give us a call at our Altadena office if you have any questions about the Braces Brigade or your own orthodontic treatment with Dr. Greenberg!

Have a great weekend!

Vickie Greenberg Orthodontics at the 110th AAO Annual Session

If you know Dr. Greenberg, you know her goal is to give her patients a fun, educational, beneficial orthodontic experience, resulting in a smile that they are excited to share. One of the many ways she achieves that goal is by attending important conferences and lectures. You see, continuing education is an important part of Dr. Greenberg’s work as an orthodontist in Pasadena. With continuing education she is able to stay on the cutting edge of current orthodontic treatments and always offer her patients the most sophisticated treatment options.

This past Saturday through Tuesday, Dr. Greenberg and our entire team attended the 110th AAO Annual Session in Washington D.C., an opportunity for us to mingle with dental experts and some of the sharpest orthodontic specialists in the world. The AAO Annual Session is always an educational event that is one of the largest orthodontic conventions on the planet - and one that allows Dr. Greenberg to stay up-to-date on all the latest technologies and orthodontic treatment options available. This, in turn, allows her to give you, our wonderful patients, the best treatment experience possible.

A proud member of the American Association of Orthodontists, Dr. Greenberg is a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics and is currently a member of several orthodontic groups, organizations, and study clubs, including AAO, PCSO, CDA, SGVDS, and Damon Study Club. She is also serving in the San Gabriel Valley Dental Society as their vice president and is the Community Health Chairperson.

Isn't it nice to know you have a complete dental expert taking care of your perfecting your smile?
