I've been a registered dental asst (for an orthodontist) since June 2001. Until April 2006, my position was chairside asst. I placed the braces, made monthly adjustments to the braces, removed braces, delivered retainers, took x-rays, photos and impressions for diagnostic models and retainers. Since April 2006, I have been treatment coordinator. I sit in on the doctor's initial exam with the patient (and parents). I then review with them: their options, sequence of treatment, make their initial appointments and explain their financial options. What everyone should understand is: not every orthodontist practices in the same manner. So something one doctor does, another will do in an entirely different way. The best person to answer specific questions about your treatment is your orthodontist (or their staff), but I am glad to answer any questions anyone may have.

  • Guest attire for a November wedding in Chicago...?

    My husband will be the best man in a Catholic wedding. I need help with my choice of attire. Would a "little black dress" be inappropriate for 3 o'clock wedding the day after Thanksgiving? I also thought about a black skirt with a white shirt... I'm not much on color, as you can tell...

  • Treo 680 sync problem...?

    I received my Treo Friday. I have AT&T service so all my phone numbers from my previous cell phone transferred with my SIM card. I also have a Tungsten e2, so I had quite a bit of contact info on it. Of course, when I combined the 2, I had many duplicate entries. I deleted/combined many entries on the Treo and synced it with my computer a second time with no problem. When I tried to sync it a 3rd time, after combining more entries, on my computer this time, the Treo shuts off (like a soft reset). It shuts off when I try to sync it and when I try to access my contacts and calendar.

    I'm pretty sure the error has something to do with items installed on the Treo at the last successful sync. The error won't correct itself if I perform a hard reset though, will it?

    Any suggestions........?

  • Removing tile adhesive from a hardwood floor?

    I'm looking for some quick, inexpensive ways to remove black tile adhesive from 180-200 sqaure feet of hardwood floor in our living room.

    I was planning to work on small sections at a time if possible, because I work full-time and will most likely have to attempt this restoration while my 14-month-old is at home with me.

    It has occurred to us that we may have to empty the room and sand it off with coarse grit sandpaper and refinish the floor, but I was really hoping to just clean it.

  • This month's Maxim has a joke .....?

    My mother called me yesterday and read this hilarious joke that was in the most recent Maxim. I was going to tell my hubby (and hopefully not screw it up too bad), but I didn't get a chance last night. Thought about it tonight and can't even remember what it was about..... much less the joke.... It was pretty lengthy. Anybody have access to it? We don't have a subscription anymore, so I can't access it online. I would just call Mom, but it's late in the evening and I hate to call because I might wake my Dad.

    Thanks for your help!!!
