>Our community has been through a lot over the last few months, and all of us are looking forward to resuming our “new” normal habits and routines. While many things have changed, one thing has remained the same: Our commitment to quality care in a safe environment!

As we continue to monitor the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic, navigate through this uncertain and rapidly changing time, and in response to the latest recommendation from the State and local agencies, we are extending the suspension of all elective or non-emergent procedures through Sunday, May 17, 2020. However, this date is subject to change given the fluidity of the current situation.

As we continue to monitor the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic, navigate through this uncertain and rapidly changing time, and in response to the latest recommendation from the White House, we are extending the suspension of all elective or non-emergent procedures from the original time frame of Thursday, March 19, 2020 through Sunday, April 5, 2020, until at least through Sunday, May 3, 2020. However, this date is subject to change given the fluidity of the current situation.

Southeast Orthodontics wants you to know that we are here for you during this time of uncertainty. However, we don’t want you to feel uncertain about orthodontic issues, should they occur.

When shopping around for an orthodontist, of course a doctor’s expertise and access to cutting-edge technology is a major priority on a potential client’s checklist. A doctor with a long-standing reputation of excellence instills confidence, as does a wall full of certifications and accolades. But does this doctor make you feel at ease? Does their staff greet you with a smile? Do they crack a joke to let you know they’re human too?

As we continue to monitor the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic, and navigate through this uncertain and rapidly changing time, and in light of concerns surrounding coronavirus and in response to the latest recommendation from the White House, we are suspending all elective or non-emergent procedures for at least the next two weeks – beginning Thursday, March 19th through Sunday, April 5th.

So you just got braces, and you’re feeling pretty overwhelmed. It feels very strange to have all this metal in your mouth, and brushing your teeth just got a little more complicated. You also have to visit your orthodontist way more than you usually visit your regular dentist, but at least you don’t have to keep seeing your dentist too—what’s that? You still have to see your dentist every six months??

The sentiment is the same across the board - it's hard to believe it's been two years since Southeast Orthodontics has come to Mansfield! Most surprised of all is Dr. Benjamin Gamm, who has seen his own personal well-being soar since joining the Southeast Orthodontics team in 2017.

Since 2017, Southeast Orthodontics Lakeville has been bringing quality, cutting-edge orthodontic treatment to Lakeville and neighboring towns. The youngest of the practice’s five locations, Southeast Orthodontics Lakeville is celebrating its two-year anniversary this summer! Conveniently located at 40 Main Street in Baldies Plaza, Southeast Orthodontics Lakeville is an easy commute from surrounding towns like Middleboro, Berkley, Freetown, and Rochester.

Now you see it, now you don’t. No, it’s not a magic trick—it’s SureSmile Clear Aligners! At Southeast Orthodontics, we offer clear plastic aligners from the SureSmile line of cutting-edge orthodontic products, as an alternative to braces. Much like braces, each aligner moves the teeth a little at a time, with the patient graduating to successive sets of aligners as treatment progresses.

If you’ve been following our blog, you know that we’ve been introducing patients to the leading edge technology we employ in our orthodontic treatments. Last time, we got familiar with SureSmile Indirect Bonding, the first step in our customized process of creating a healthy, beautiful smile. SureSmile Indirect Bonding is an invaluable tool that improves patient comfort and experience by streamlining the initial appointment of applying braces.

At Southeast Orthodontics, we strive to give the safest, most efficient, and most comfortable care possible. Our experienced and well-trained staff will guide patients smoothly through each treatment step along their orthodontic journey, starting from their very first appointment. We know you wouldn’t have it any other way! To guarantee this promise for all our treatment options, we use SureSmile orthodontic technologies, the best and most advanced tools in the orthodontic appliance industry.

Technology is advancing rapidly in all fields of Medicine and Dentistry. Orthodontics is no exception! In our office, we pride ourselves on using the best technology available to make sure we are achieving an optimal result. The i-CAT FLX series 3D CBCT is one of the best dental radiographic imaging systems available today. The i-CAT produces clear, 3-dimensional images of the patient’s oral-facial complex, instead of the 2-dimensional images of traditional X-rays. Best of all, this scanner accomplishes its job with less radiation than traditional X-ray scanners, making for a safer and more accurate diagnosis process.

If you’ve ever had putty-like alginate impressions taken of your teeth, you know how many things could go wrong: the putty doesn’t set long enough in your mouth, or does not get placed securely enough, not to mention the awful feeling that you might choke. And if the impression is not clean or accurate the first time, you may have to come in and do it all over again (no thank you!). At Southeast Orthodontics we are proud to possess cutting-edge technology that does away with all this fuss.

June is cause for celebration at Southeast Orthodontics! One year ago this month, Dr. Benjamin Gamm of Gamm Orthodontics joined forces with Southeast Orthodontics, helmed by Dr. Brian Gaudreault, and neither doctor has looked back. It’s been a year of growth, education, and new ventures for the practice, and the doctors can say without a doubt that the partnership is well worth it.
