The year is almost over, so our staff at Moles Orthodontics thought we’d ask: what was memorable about 2010 for you, and what are you most looking forward to in 2011? Do you have a new year's resolution, or any exciting plans for the coming year?
Hey parents! Focusing on your kids’ teeth and oral health so much that you’re neglecting your own? If you’ve been thinking about having your own set of perfectly-aligned teeth, Dr. Moles and our staff at Moles Orthodontics can help! We are specially trained to offer an adult-friendly option for straightening teeth called Invisalign.
Trust us when we say we realize not everyone enjoys going to their orthodontist. But at Moles Orthodontics, we provide outstanding service in a warm and caring atmosphere with a friendly, dedicated staff. We also strive to bring you the best and most comforting experience at each visit.
Our entire staff at Moles Orthodontics are participating in our final "Lee Denim Days" day today to raise funds for breast cancer research. We have reached almost &400 in donations - help us reach our goal today by stopping in and donating a dollar or more for a pin! Let's find a cure!
As the leaves change, we realize that winter is just around the corner. And just as the seasons change, so do the times. We are reminded that many families have been affected by the tough economic times who need our help. Each year, the Hunger Task Force faces the challenge of a growing demand to supply food for those in need. Please help us male a difference in the lives of of others. One can of soup, one box of rice, one jar of baby food, one dollar, will tell someone you care.
This week marks National Young Reader’s Week, and during this time, it’s more important than ever to remind your child to read on a regular basis. After all, reading helps kids develop the mind, expands a child’s knowledge base, activates his or her flow of ideas and boosts their confidence. Plus, reading is always fun!
At Moles Orthodontics, we value the relationships we have developed with our patients in Milwaukee, Racine, Brookfield and surrounding communities in Wisconsin. Even if you only see us for your appointment on a regular basis, did you know that you can now connect with Dr. Moles and staff on our Facebook page?
At Moles Orthodontics, we serve our patients in a warm and caring atmosphere with a friendly, dedicated staff. We are a technologically sophisticated orthodontic practice with locations in Milwaukee, Racine, and Brookfield Wisconsin, also serving Greenfield, Waukesha and other surrounding areas. Dr. Randall Moles is recognized both nationally and internationally as a lecturer and leader in the field of orthodontics.
This month, our entire team at Moles Orthodontics want you to be extra careful with your braces and appliances. After all, September marks the start of fall sports and an increased risk to mouth injuries. September also happens to be National Childhood Injury Prevention Month, and Dr. Moles thought it’d be a good idea to share a few sobering facts about sports and facial injuries, courtesy of our friends at the American Association of Orthodontists.
Dr. Moles and our staff were recently asked, "What are the three words you would use to describe your office?" If patients had to describe our office in three words… those words would be, Cutting-edge, Caring, and Family-oriented. 
We have one particular girl in our office who doesn’t get enough praise for the great work she continues to do everyday. She is Rebecca, our sterilization technician. To us, she is "Becca," and a part of our family here. She really deserves the praise around the office; she works very hard to keep up on all of our sterilizing and our trays needed throughout the day. 
Recently, Dr. Moles was asked: "If you could be anything in the world other than an orthodontist, which profession would you like to try?""I love what I do and would not want to do anything else. However if there was no orthodontic profession my guess I would have gone into plastic surgery since that is also an art combined with science. I was always interested in art and science as a student and I'm sure I would gravitate in that direction."
With the country still in a recession, many folks are putting off visiting the orthodontist for a consultation. We hear all the reasons - vacations, chores, emergencies, et cetera. Today, Dr. Moles and our staff at Moles Orthodontics thought we'd give our prospective patients five reasons to visit our office this summer for an orthodontic consultation.
I started my orthodonic treatment 17 months ago at age 55. It was tough growing up, being called names because of unattractive teeth. When I first met Dr. Moles he assured me he could give me a "Knock-em-dead" smile. At my age, I wondered? With each visit I was able to see the progression to my final goal. His staff are professional, caring, genuinely warm people whom I have grown to admire. Appointments have little wait time if any at all. Next month I have my braces removed and I cannot wait to see how my "bucky beaver" smile has been transformed to one that I can truly love. To Dr. Moles and his staff I thank you for making a dream come true.♥
At Milwaukee's Moles Orthodontics, we are always taking steps to be more environmentally friendly. We first started with energy efficient light bulbs throughout our offices. We took it another step further with water that is filtered. We no longer have our water delivered.

The unofficial kickoff to summer—Memorial Day weekend—is just a day away. It's a time for Americans to remember all those men and women who bravely gave their lives and fought for our country. 
If you've recently finished your treatment at Moles Orthodontics, we’d like to congratulate you! Now that your braces have been removed, Drs. Moles, Sanfelippo or Ferri will provide—or have provided you—with retainers. After braces are removed, teeth can shift out of position if they are not stabilized. Retainers 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 one of our orthodontists is the best insurance that the treatment improvements last for a lifetime.
We'd like to take this moment to thank all the great moms out there for being so great during their child's visits to Moles Orthodontics and their orthodontic treatment here. Whether it's driving their kids to regularly scheduled appointments or for "being there" while their child is treatment, the moms who come to our office are all stellar individuals, and our entire staff would like you to know that we appreciate you all!

Of course not. In fact, our staff recently read a fascinating statistic: adults getting braces has jumped 24 percent from 1996! Yes, braces help make your pearly whites strong, healthy and perfectly-aligned, but perhaps another reason for the spike in adult braces is this: people want to look and feel great. In an age—and society—where looks matter as much as anything, and at a time when evenly-aligned teeth might be the difference between getting a job or a promotion, adults are choosing to invest in orthodontics. Orthodontic treatment at Moles Orthodontics can be successful at any age, and adults especially appreciate the benefits of a beautiful smile.
With spring here, many children, teens and adults will once again pick up the ball, bring the bat out of seasonal retirement, and lace up their cleats to hit the fields for the return of spring sports! April is National Facial Protection Month, and during this time, Dr. Moles and our dedicated team at Moles Orthodontics urge our young athletes to play it safe when out on the field. Here are a few ways to ensure your mouth’s safety this spring, courtesy of our friends at the American Association of Orthodontists:
Our office at Moles Orthodontists heroes are our clinical technicians. Our technicians work hard every day of the week. Every one of them completes many different office tasks, from helping at the front desk, to the X-ray department. There isn’t an area in the office these girls couldn’t handle. On really busy days to accommodate patients, they will work straight through without bathroom or water breaks from 8-1 and 2-5. 
Dr. Moles has developed a way to give back with a nonprofit organization called Smile for a Lifetime. The idea of this fine organization is that they are helping under-privileged kids in Milwaukee, Racine and Brookfield who otherwise can’t afford to have a not only a great-looking smile, but a smile that will be healthy and last a lifetime! Dr. Moles believes in the importance of community involvement. He strives to meet the needs of patients not only inside the practice walls, but those for whom treatment might be out of reach. The Smile for a Lifetime Foundation offers the chance for Dr. Moles, and dentists around the country, to do just that.
Dr. Moles has always moved in the same direction as technology. As technology changes, our approach to orthodontics does as well. Our office embraces that change, because we want the absolute best treatment for our patients. Some offices are afraid to move forward and dive into something that may take more work, and stick with the traditional approach to orthodontics. Not moving forward with technology changes can leave other offices left in the dust, and their patients in braces for an average of 40-50 percent longer. 
Recently, we had a chance to ask our patients what they liked most about Moles Orthodontics. Here's what they had to say:
From the moment patients enter Moles Orthodontics, they feel a sense of warmth, welcoming and individual care. Some ask Dr. Moles a lot of questions about their orthodontic treatment, while others choose to just "go with the flow." And that's understandable.
Very early in my career someone said to me that being an orthodontist is like being a "slow-motion plastic surgeon." And as I think of it that is exactly what I feel it is. I have the chance to make life-changing differences for people. I mean things that not only make them look better, but that translates into them feeling better about themselves. And if you buy into the concept that how we feel about ourselves has an effect on our overall stress level, and thus our immune system, the possibility for making a difference in someone’s life is amazing! 
With the intense weather conditions in Wisconsin the next few days, Dr. Moles and our team at Moles Orthodontics thought it would be a good time to remind you, our valued patients (and parents) to be safe when out and about.
To be invited into the Schulman Orthodontic Study Group is truly one of the highlights of my career! I should explain why it is such an honor. To put things in perspective less than 1% of all the orthodontists in the country are Schulman members. Moreover, it's not a group that you can just join. To become a member of the Schulman group you must be invited by one of the members. Then you must present statistics on your practice to prove you meet the standards of acceptance. You are then voted on by the members of the group. It is definitely the best of the best study group.
During the year Schulman members are in constant contact, sharing all sorts of ideas in order to improve what we do and how we do it. Once a year we meet for a week, sharing ideas and having guest speakers on all aspects of orthodontics. I can honestly say that being a member of the Schulman Study Group has made me a better orthodontist and helped me to serve my patients better!
We've blogged about the advantages of Invisalign treatment at Moles Orthodontics in the past, and today thought we'd share a few Invisalign tips with you, our great patients.
This year our office was voted by other dentists into Milwaukee Magazine's top dentists and orthodontists. I actually heard the news from another dentist who called and congratulated me on winning the honor. It was a total surprise!
