Apple Orthodontix Orthodontist Kimberly J. McNeal, MS,DMD Wins Ormco Preferred Provider Award

Insignia surpasses other bracket systems in patient comfort, malocclusion correction and individualized patient care.

2014-03-01

DALLAS, TX, March 01, 2014 (Press-News.org) Kimberly J. McNeal, MS, DMD, who practices in the Rockwall, TX office of Apple Orthodontix, was recently honored by Ormco Corp., distributor and fabricator of the Insignia bracket system. 27 doctors and practices worldwide that treated more than 100 Insignia cases during 2013 were presented with Preferred Provider Awards earlier this year. Apple Orthodontix is one of the top five Insignia providers in the country.

"Insignia is world-class orthodontics at its best," says McNeal. "In my opinion, this bracket system reduces treatment time and addresses patient comfort, malocclusion correction and individualized care in a manner that surpasses other systems. Finished occlusions are pristine because they are detailed prior to bracket placement. Our practice is primarily Insignia treatments. Overall, it's a more efficient way to practice, and we can care for more patients.

"The comfort level makes treatment much more enjoyable for patients and staff. Everyone is happier, and we have fewer treatment issues. Our patients love seeing what their smiles will look like before they even begin treatment, and they enjoy tracking their progress. Appointment intervals are longer between adjustments, so the treatment is more convenient for everyone. We only see our patients every 8-10 weeks as compared to every 4-6 weeks for standard bracket systems."

With hundreds of Insignia cases under her belt, Dr. McNeal has achieved the highest level of competence with this system. Apple orthodontists, Dr. Sandra Hernandez, practicing in Lewisville, Arlington and Irving, and Dr. Marites Del Mundo, practicing in Little Elm, Denton and The Colony, have also completed record numbers of Insignia cases.

Ormco Corporation recently received several industry-voted Ortho Townie Choice Awards for exceptional products and service in the orthodontic field. They also won nine industry awards in 2013, including one for Insignia Advanced Smile Design.

Dr. McNeal's office is located at 2245 Ridge Rd, Rockwall, TX. To make an appointment for a free consult or for more information, call 1-888-611 APPLE or go online to www.appleortho.com.

There is a unique bond that exists between humans and animals and this is something that the American Humane Association (AHA), led by President and CEO Robin Ganzert, has sought to better understand.

2014-03-01

A gap in your teeth can feel like a canyon-huge and noticeable. Tooth loss usually occurs unexpectedly, especially if it's due to dental trauma.

To boost a patient's confidence and oral health, dentists are able to replace a tooth with a prosthetic dental piece. Some popular restorative treatments include dentures and dental bridges," explains Dr. Wyckoff. With one dental ...
