In Slappy's House



Dr. Jay with nephews John and Wyatt visiting with Slappy Kalamazoo Wings during a spectacular shut-out domination of the Fort Wayne Komets after Thanksgiving. We understand Slappy makes a migration flight during summer months to Peoria, Illinois. Since we're all originally from near that same area, Slappy asked to have his picture with us. Note: Wyatt is wearing a vintage Peoria Rivermen hockey jersey and Dr. Jay with a St. Louis Blues jersey. The Rivermen once were and now the Kalamazoo Wings are farm-teams for the Blues.

A Kalamazoo Orthodontics Fish Story



Congratulations to former KO patient, Megan Alkema, for her winning entry into our “Name Our Pufferfish” Contest!   Sponge Bob fans spoke and Megan’s suggestion of “Mrs. Puff” (Sponge Bob’s beleaguered driving instructor) won the day . . . and she won 4 tickets to the Kalamazoo Wings “Autism Awareness Night” game on December 14th.  The newly christened Mrs. Puff suddenly became camera-shy (and hid herself in the coral) when Megan visited Kalamazoo Orthodontics to have her picture taken.  No matter, we’re proud that Megan’s great smile is spectacular.  Thanks to everyone for all their great name suggestions for our fun contest.

Kalamazoo Orthodontics’ patient, Eleanor Oldre, completed her Butterfly Braces System treatment.  She’s already referred another patient to us who presents quite a challenge for us.  We’re also not sure that Chewie can even fit into one of our  clinic chairs!  Thanks for sending folks to us to fix their smiles!
