UGLY

Good luck to Portage Northern High School's Marching Band at the State Finals on Friday. KO braces patient, Joe Marsh, plays trumpet in the 2014 edition of the Huskies band. His "UGLY" tee-shirt is the logo for the marching band's show that recounts the story of The Ugly Duckling. Certainly the title "UGLY" has been a conversation starter and elicits reactions from folks who are curious about the moniker.

Butterfly Braces in Progress

Hockey enthusiast, Skylar Makarewicz, knows to wear a mouthguard to protect her pearly whites and Butterfly System braces. I see more than a little emulation of Wayne Gretzky in that pose. — at Kalamazoo Orthodontics - Dr. S. Jay Bowman.

Allyah Lemmer's Kalamazoo Christian High School Varsity Softball Team finished 2nd in the MHSA Championship Finals. She is sporting KO's own Butterfly System braces working towards a beautiful new smile. — at Kalamazoo Orthodontics - Dr. S. Jay Bowman.

Star Wars Smile

Math & Science Fair

KO Team members Paige, John, Courtney, and Carrie represented Kalamazoo Orthodontics at Gobles Elementary School's Math & Science Community Fair. This team created a very inventive "big mouth" with working braces to illustrate how teeth move with orthodontics and they emphasized the importance of oral hygiene for their young and appreciative audience.

Freddie's KO Halloween

Freddie and KO braces patient Ariyana McClain wish you a safe and enjoyable Halloween. Sure looks like Freddie would benefit from our orthodontic services . . . and a manicure, too. #Dr. S. Jay Bowman Kalamazoo Orthodontics.

Kalamazoo Wings Hockey All-Star

Look who checked-in at Kalamazoo Orthodontics today! Kalamazoo Wings All-Star Defenseman, Sam Ftorek. We look forward to seeing him play this Friday for the K-Wings home opener on Orange Ice.

"Entering his 17th year of professional hockey, Ftorek is returning for his sixth season with the K-Wings. The 2014-15 campaign should also be a record-breaking season for the defenseman. Ftorek is 13 regular season contests shy of 1,000 in his career.
Currently ranking third for all-time games played in the league; Ftorek’s pursuit for history will also involve record books of the ECHL. With 766 of his professional games played in the ECHL, Ftorek is five games shy of tying Louis Dumont (1994-06) for second place and 23 games shy of tying Cam Brown (1991-2006) for all-time games played in the premier “AA” hockey league.
Last season Ftorek led ECHL blueliner’s in scoring with 47 points (13 goals, 34 assists). For his efforts, Ftorek was named to the ECHL’s First-Team and received recognition from the K-Wings by earning the team’s Pepsi Sportsmanship , as well as the Otten Trophy Awards, which is given to the player who earned the most first stars.
A leader on and off the ice, Ftorek has worn either the captain’s “C” or the alternate captain’s “A” in each of his seasons with the K-Wings."

Time Flies with AcceleDent

Time Flies with AcceleDent – Kalamazoo Orthodontics patient,
Carly Dawson, describes her experience with Acceledent:  “It helped the process go by a lot
faster.  It’s very easy to use.”  Time apparently flew by for Carly during her
braces treatment as she stated she was finished in 11 months.  Actually, her entire treatment was only 20
months, but just 11 months with full upper braces!
