August 28^th 10:00 a.m. at Wynnsong Movie Theater off Martin Luther King Parkway in Durham. 

In honor of our third annual Patient Appreciation Day, we are inviting all of our patients to invite a friend and  join us at the movies again this year.  This year we will have two movies playing at the same time, one is Step UP 3D (rated PG13) and the other is Nanny McPhee & the Big Bang  (rated PG).  The movies will be playing at the Wynnsong Movie Theater off Martin Luther King Pkwy at 10:00a.m.  We are asking everyone to drop their kid(s) off between 9:30-9:45 p.m., so there is plenty of time to get everyone signed in and get them their popcorn and drink. (Each person will receive a small popcorn and drink, there will be no other concessions sold)  Both movies will be over by 11:30, so we ask that you pick your kid(s) up no later than 11:45 before other movies start playing.   Each person attending the movie must have a permission slip with emergency contact names and numbers in our office prior to the movie date!  You must sign up for one or the other prior to the movie date to ensure enough seating for both movies.  We hope to see you all there, and again, WE APPRECIATE YOU! 

Below you will find a small synopsis of each of the movies.

Step Up 3D

STEP UP3D, the highly-anticipated 3rd installment of the successful film franchise started by Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan Tatum in 2006, will hit theaters  August 2010!!!

New York's intense street dancing underground comes alive in eye-popping Digital 3D as the raw, passion-fueled culture goes global. A tight-knit group of street dancers, including Luke Rick Malambri and Natalie Sharni Vinson, team up with NYU freshman Moose (Adam Sevani) and Alyson Stoner, and find themselves pitted against the world's best hip hop dancers in a high-stakes showdown that will change their lives forever.

This is a Touchstone Picture (Disney) and is rated PG-13 for brief strong language.

Nanny McPhee & the Big Bang                                                     

In Nanny McPhee Returns, Oscar-winning actress and screenwriter Emma Thompson returns to the role of the magical nanny who appears when she's needed the most and wanted the least in the next chapter of the hilarious and heartwarming fable that has enchanted children around the world.  In the latest installment, Nanny McPhee appears at the door of a harried young mother, Mrs. Isabel Green (Maggie Gyllenhaal), who is trying to run the family farm while her husband is away at war.  But once she has arrived, Nanny McPhee discovers that Mrs. Green's children are fighting a war of their own against two spoiled city cousins who have just moved in and refuse to leave.

Relying on everything from a flying motorcycle and a statue that comes to life to a tree-climbing piglet and a baby elephant who turns up in the oddest places, Nanny McPhee uses her magic to teach her mischievous charges five new lessons. 

Is your child in the "Gator Grills" Club?

It's our new program designed for patients not yet in braces!  This is a fun program where we can monitor your child's growth and development to help determine the optimal treatment timing and options.  We recommend an orthodontic check-up around age 7.  Club members receive the following:

•  Complimentary exams and x-rays if needed
•  A personalized ID card
•  Good Oral Hygiene instructions
•  Prizes and incentives.
•  A chance to win an iPod!

Orthodontists can spot subtle problems with jaw growth and emerging teeth while some baby teeth are still present.    Early treatment may give our orthodontists the chance to: guide jaw growth, lower the risk of trauma to protruded front teeth, correct harmful oral habits or guide permanent teeth into a more favorable position.  Through an early orthodontic evaluation, you'll be giving your child the best opportunity for a healthy, beautiful smile!   Schedule Your Child's Appointment Today!
