What is your New Year's Resolution?

2010 has come and gone (well almost), so Dr. Harold Fleming and our team 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?

Have a safe and happy New Year, to all our patients, friends, family, and all our dental and medical colleagues in Falls Church, Arlington, Alexandria and surrounding communities.


See you in 2011, from our entire staff at Fleming Orthodontics

Staying connected with Fleming Orthodontics

At Fleming Orthodontics, we embrace technology, whether it’s through the innovative orthodontic treatments we offer, our high-tech web site or our Facebook fan page. We love connecting with our patients online, whether it’s by sharing news on our blog or communicating ideas on our fan page. For social media to work, however, conversation is vital, and that’s why we invite you to join in and tell us what’s on your mind. Although social networks hugely popular these days, we know they're unpredictable and ever-changing.

While Dr. Harold Fleming and our dedicated staff take a little time to research how to best use social media, we thought we’d ask you, our loyal patients: How would you like us to use our social networks? What would you like us to share on our blog? Send us your thoughts or give us a call! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

"Hey Dr. Fleming! What's the deal with retainers?"

If you recently completed treatment at Fleming Orthodontics, Dr. Fleming & our entire staff would like to congratulate you, again! Now that your braces have been removed, Dr. Fleming 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, 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. Fleming is the best insurance that the treatment improvements last for an entire lifetime.

To learn more about the advantages of wearing retainers after your orthodontic treatment, please visit our website for instructions and read this helpful article about retainers from KidsHealth. You may also give us a call at 703-534-8711!

We hope you all had a great weekend!
