Dr. Ruff wants to know: What are your plans for Memorial Day?

Memorial Day Weekend, only a few days away, is a time once again for Americans to remember all those who bravely gave their lives for our country. It’s also the unofficial start of summer, and for many kids in San Diego, getting out of town for three days with parents or relaxing after being cooped up at school for 9 months is always sweet, sweet relief.

What are you up to this Memorial Day weekend? Whether you are headed to a family barbecue, a camping trip, or hitting the open road, Dr. Ruff and our team would love to hear allllll about it! Enjoy the long weekend if we don't see you this week for a visit, and we'll see you soon!!

Wishing you a happy Mother's Day, from Dr. Ruff and team

Dr. Charles Ruff and our entire team would like to thank all the wonderful moms out there for driving their kids to their regularly scheduled appointments at our office and for being there for their child at all times.

We know that moms should get more than just a day of celebration, appreciation and acknowledgment, but we want you to know that we appreciate you all very much! Happy Mother's Day!

Retainers, retainers, retainers...

If you recently completed treatment at the office of Dr. Charles Ruff, we’d like to congratulate you! Now that your braces have been removed, Dr. Ruff will provide—or has provided you—with retainers. After braces are removed, teeth may shift out of position if they are not stabilized. Retainers, however, provide that stabilization. They are designed to hold teeth in their corrected, ideal positions until the bones and gums adapt to the treatment changes. Wearing retainers exactly as instructed by Dr. Ruff is the best insurance that the treatment improvements last for a lifetime.

To learn more about the advantages of wearing retainers after your orthodontic treatment with Dr. Ruff, please read this helpful article about retainers from KidsHealth or give us a call at (207) 873-7425.
