We’ve been busy! If you’ve noticed valuable pieces of<br />

pottery placed artfully around the office, the artists responsible<br />

for these masterpieces are our own talented staff! To<br />

banish the winter blahs some of <strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Orthodontic</strong> Staff<br />

were treated to a few sessions at Brush for Success. We delightfully<br />

spent a few hours painting the winter blues away.<br />

We bet you never knew how multi-talented we are!<br />

The greatest compliment a patient can give<br />

is the referral of their family and friends.

ROG Employees of the Quarter<br />

Kim Celmer<br />

Kim, the smiling queen of<br />

chair 6, started with <strong>Reading</strong><br />

<strong>Orthodontic</strong> <strong>Group</strong> in February<br />

1993. Kim enjoys the<br />

variety, and when working<br />

with kids, every day is different.<br />

Kim keeps busy outside of the office with her<br />

active family, hubby Teddy and sons Travis and Jack.<br />

An avid reader you’ll never see Kim without her latest<br />

novel especially when lounging by the pool. On<br />

those less sunny days you can find the Celmers at the<br />

bowling alley!<br />

POSTCARD<br />

CONTEST<br />

Yes, it’s hard to believe<br />

that it’s that time of year again and we are<br />

so happy to announce it!<br />

Beginning Memorial Day and ending<br />

Labor Day we will be accepting postcards<br />

mailed from your vacation spots.<br />

Whether you are ambling around<br />

Amish country or diving the Cliffs of Dover,<br />

take our business card and a stamp along<br />

and think of us!<br />

Tracy Whitmoyer<br />

One of the first smiling<br />

faces you’ll see as you get familiar<br />

with <strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Orthodontic</strong><br />

<strong>Group</strong> is that of Tracy<br />

Whitmoyer. Tracy, a certified<br />

X-ray assistant, has been on<br />

our staff since 1993. Tracy can be handy in any department.<br />

You may also find her assisting patients in<br />

the operatory, as well as scheduling at the front desk.<br />

Shopping USED to be Tracy’s passion and now it<br />

is her infant daughter Alyson, born January 18, 2003.<br />

Aly is welcomed home by mom and proud dad, Bart.<br />

You may be able to spot this happy family at Maple<br />

Grove Raceway this summer where Aly’s dad races.<br />

ORAL HYGIENE WINNER!<br />

The doctors and staff at <strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Orthodontic</strong><br />

<strong>Group</strong> try to help our patients improve their oral<br />

hygiene. Because children, and sometimes adults,<br />

too, need constant encouragement, we have an ongoing<br />

contest to provide incentive.<br />

Patients who earn a “5” on our 1-5 grading<br />

system get a ticket. Every three months one winning<br />

ticket is pulled from the contest jar. The<br />

winner gets to choose from some fabulous prizes!<br />

Alyssa took home a $300 gift certificate<br />

to the Berkshire Mall .<br />

Way to go<br />

Celebrate<br />

Spring!<br />

FINANCIAL<br />

ARRANGEMENTS<br />

Please don’t let finances be a<br />

barrier to needed orthodontic<br />

treatment. We are more than happy to<br />

work out an acceptable payment arrangement.<br />

After all, we want everyone to have<br />

healthy, good-looking smiles.

TALENT BLOOMS AT READING<br />

ORTHODONTIC GROUP<br />

at our door! Imagine tuning in to Law and Order one Saturday night and seeing<br />

Maria Kacanda, 8, of <strong>Reading</strong> in a dance scene! Coming up in a future episode<br />

the latest Boscov TV commercial!<br />

Songbird Taylor Swift, 13, not only sings, she writes her own music and lyrics! You might have<br />

SPRING NEWSLETTER


PROTECT THAT<br />

BEAUTIFUL SMILE!<br />

Each year thousands of children<br />

who play sports end up in the<br />

emergency room because of<br />

knocked-out teeth, broken jaws,<br />

or other facial injuries. Their injuries<br />

could have been far less<br />

severe or even eliminated if they<br />

had only worn a mouth guard or a helmet.<br />

The AAO recommends that kids who participate<br />

in baseball, basketball, soccer,<br />

football, extreme sports<br />

(BMX biking, skateboarding and<br />

in-line skating) and other common<br />

sports should wear a mouth<br />

guard or other equipment to protect<br />

them from facial injury.<br />

CHOCOLATE<br />

COIN<br />

WINNERS!<br />

Delicious congratulations go out to<br />

our coin guess winners. Way to go<br />

Sonny Nguyen and Carina Giles for<br />

guessing the closest to our 548<br />

chocolate coins! Don’t eat them all at<br />

once and enjoy your trip to the<br />

movies.<br />

Supporting Our Troops<br />

Operation Shiloh Hills Cares<br />

A personal connection between a member of<br />

the Shiloh Hills elementary school and a member<br />

of the military prompted the staff and student<br />

council to activate Operation Shiloh Hills Cares. Students in kindergarten<br />

through sixth grade were asked to make donations of personal<br />

items such as lip balm, deodorant, sunscreen, hard candy and<br />

other assorted necessities for the 332 nd Air Expeditionary <strong>Group</strong>.<br />

Personal “care” packages were assembled and decorated to be<br />

shipped directly to the men and women of the 332 nd in Iraq and Kuwait.<br />

<strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Orthodontic</strong> <strong>Group</strong> was proud to donate toothbrushes<br />

to such a worthwhile cause.<br />

CREATING FANTASTIC SMILES IS WHAT WE DO!<br />

This 10-year old patient came to us with a narrow upper jaw and significant crowding<br />

on top and bottom. His deep bite hid almost all of his lower teeth. After 26<br />

months of treatment he has a fantastic smile that will last him forever!<br />

So many adult patients are unhappy with lower crowding. This gentleman was<br />

more than pleased with our correction of his crowding problem.. Bet you didn’t<br />

know that about 25% of our patients are adults. You’re never too old for a<br />

beautiful smile!<br />

This patient was 15 years old when she started. We were able to correct her crowding<br />

problem as well as a deep overbite in 20 months. Just in time for senior pictures.<br />

Say “cheese”!
