It used to be that people were terrified to see the orthodontist. And Dr. Guyer understands that some patients are still nervous. But fear not! The days of fear and loathing when driving to an orthodontist appointment are gone! And it’s all due to technology. That’s right, technology has allowed orthodontists everywhere to zero in on patient care and comfort.
Braces aren’t just for pre-adolescents and teenagers anymore! Dr. Edmund Guyer will tell you that anyone, at any age, can benefit from orthodontic treatment, whether it’s correcting a problem not treated in your younger years, or catching a problem early.
Summer may be coming to an end, but Main Street Orthodontics is still doing our "Where in the World is Dr. Guyer" contest! The last day to submit your photos is September 12th.
At Main Street Orthodontics we know how important it is to protect your face while playing sports. The spring and summer months bring an increase in outdoor activities and a greater chance of damaging your precious mouth and pearly whites. Dr. Guyer and our team also know sports-related injuries are common among children. According to the American Association of Orthodontists, 70 percent of parents said their biggest worry is that their child will get hurt while playing sports. Another 67 percent admitted their child doesn’t wear a mouth guard when playing sports such as football, basketball, baseball and soccer. 
It’s summer here at Main Street Orthodontics, a season full of vacations, adventures and great memories. Whether you are headed to a barbecue, a camping trip, hitting America’s open roads or just having fun in the backyard, Dr. Guyer and our team want to hear all about it! Leave a comment on our Facebook fan page and tell us about your summer!
If you recently completed treatment at Main Street Orthodontics, we’d like to congratulate you! Now that your braces have been removed, Dr. Guyer will provide—or has provided you—with retainers. After braces are removed, teeth can shift out of position if they are not stabilized. Retainers, however, always 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. Guyer is the best insurance that the treatment improvements last for a lifetime.
With summer in full swing, all of us at Main Street Orthodontics wanted to remind all our patients about the importance of reading. Sure it’s easy to keep putting off reading this time of year, but reading during the summer is a vital step in brain development and warding off the dreaded “summer slide.” Plus, it's fun!
True orthodontic emergencies are very rare, but when they do occur we are available to you. As a general rule, you should call the office when you experience severe pain or when you have a painful appliance problem that you can't take care of yourself. We’ll be able to schedule an appointment with Dr. Guyer.
According to the American Dental Association, a person's smile outranked eyes, hair and body as the most important physical feature, which is why it's important for our team at Main Street Orthodontics to support National Smile Month this June. 
Dr. Guyer and our team are known for providing exceptional treatment, excellent customer service, and amazing smiles! This summer, we’re very excited to host our second annual “Where in the World is Dr. Guyer?” contest.
Memorial Day weekend, a time to remember and honor the men and women lost while serving for our country. Memorial Day is also the unofficial start of summer, and for many folks in Niles and St. Joseph, getting out of town for three days after being cooped up in the classroom or the office spells sweet, sweet relief.
At Main Street Orthodontics, we know image is everything. At an age when image is so important, the thought of having braces may intensify the already-delicate confidence of today's teens. Well, May is National Teen Self-Esteem Month, and during this time, parents are encouraged to act as positive role models, help stop negative self-images, and improve confidence and security among teenagers.
To better serve our patients at Main Street Orthodontics with the highest quality orthodontic care available, Dr. Guyer and our entire team are committed to continuing education into the exciting world of orthodontics. 
For the second year in a row, Main Street Orthodontics is excited to announce that we will be hosting our "Where in the World is Dr. Guyer?" summer contest. This contest is the perfect opportunity for anyone traveling outside of Niles and St. Joseph, MI to share their vacation with Dr. Guyer and our team!
