Hello September...WE love you!! Crisp, cool air. Pumpkin lattes. Bonfires.

The back to school grind is now in full effect. WE hope you are all enjoying your new teachers and settling in for a good year! WE are very excited about the launch of our favorite children's book contest series!! Over the next few months WE will feature a different employees favorite children's book and you get to try and guess whose favorite it is! Prizes will be planned according to the book's theme. WE hope to encourage young readers all while having fun!

This month we are featuring The Berenstain Bears, "The Bear Scouts". Patients have a chance to win $30 to Scheels and extra orthobucks! WE also have a side contest running for our important drivers! All they have to do is simply sign-up for a chance to win a 2017 Minnesota Parks pass!! Then they can scout it out as much as their hearts desire! WE hope to see you in the office and participating in the fun!

A GIANT THANK-YOU TO ALL THOSE THAT DONATED TO THE BACK TO SCHOOL DRIVE FOR A CHANCE TO WIN TICKETS TO BLAKE SHELTON! Winner to be announced soon...

From all of us at WE, have a great weekend and enjoy the beginning of Fall! :)

It is an all too common scenario. As you enter adulthood, you realize how important your smile and self confidence is. However, the thought of going back to a middle school mentality and getting braces on makes you tread water and post pone any type of treatment plan that involves braces, brackets & months of a metal mouth. However, the reality of it is most adult treatment plans are not that bad! As an adult you are able to follow the Doctor's recommendations and instructions, therefore you complete treatment in a timely matter...sometimes sooner!

Check out what one of our patients had to say regarding her care at WE Ortho.

"A year and a half ago, the thought of getting braces as an adult didn't exactly make me ecstatic. But I couldn't possibly have asked for a better orthodontist experience from Dr. West or Dr. Ehlis so far. Today, Dr. Ehlis took extra time to answer several of my questions and explain options related to my remaining orthodontia treatment, and even though he had other patients to get to, he dedicated time to make sure all my questions were answered and that I understood everything he was saying. That level of comfort and care is hard to come by. If you're dreading getting braces like I was, it won't be as bad as you expect if you choose West and Ehlis."

Thanks you, Steph! WE appreciate the nice words and are super happy you were satisfied with your care!

Is it already that time of year again? Crayola boxes and backpacks everywhere you look! We wanted to join in on the fun, so we decided to spice up our August patient contest and take it up a notch! WE are pretty sure that there is not really anyone out there that doesn't like Blake Shelton, right? I mean, come on. He's the best! So, we came up with a fun way to try and win tickets to his concert in September! For every 5 items of school supplies that you donate to our school supplies drive, you get to sign-up for a chance to win tickets to see Mr. Blake! The more you give, the better your chances are!

Going back to school can't be that bad if you win Blake Shelton ticket, eh?

Ants in our pants is an understatement! We are so excited for tomorrow!! We have been busy prepping for the annual patient appreciation party! It is always fun to have a picnic in the park, but when you add in caricatures, Games to Go, face painting, a DJ, sno cones and PRIZES, it makes for a REALLY good time!!! This year our party will be held at Rheault Farms in South Fargo. It is such a nice park for playing, visiting, and eating!

We are extra thrilled about an new addition we have added to the party this year and that is one of our very own patients will be there doing a book signing. If you have not checked out the website: www.thepowerofthegemstones.com, I suggest doing so. What an impressive young lady! Izzyanna is sure to impress you with her creative, outgoing personality!

We truly hope you can make it to the party! 81 degrees and sunny...who doesn't want to be there? ;)
