Back to School Time! Schedule Appointments In Advance!

Now that many of the schools in our area are back in session, Dr. Pautienis would like to remind all of our patients about the importance of scheduling appointments in advance.  With school, clubs, sports and family duties to consider, we know that it can be challenging to find time to visit  Dr. P's office this fall.  In order to serve all our patients best, it is important that you plan ahead for your appointments so that we can provide you with an appointment time that is convenient for you.

Feel free to give our office a call if you have any questions, need to make a change, or to schedule your fall appointments.  We'll see you soon.  Good luck to all of the students starting off the new school year!

I'm 35. Am I too old for braces?

Great question, and you are absolutely not "too old" for braces! At the office of Dr. Pautienis, nobody is “too old” for braces! In fact, we read a fascinating statistic recently: adults getting braces has actually jumped 24 percent since 1996! Also, one of every five patients in orthodontic treatment nowadays is over the age of 21. Of course, braces help make your teeth stay strong, healthy and become perfectly-aligned. But we’d like you to know orthodontic treatment with Dr. Pautienis can be successful at any age, and adults especially appreciate the benefits of a beautiful smile.

In fact, we are proud to offer an adult-friendly option for straightening teeth called Invisalign, which uses a series of invisible, removable and comfortable aligners that no one can tell you're wearing. So, you can smile more during treatment as well as after.

If you’ve been thinking about getting that perfect smile, we would love to have you visit for a consultation at our Hyannis office. Please give us a call to set one up at 508-771-1415.

June National Smile Month! Our Goal is to Perfect Your Smile!

June is National Smile Month! Our team at the orthodontic practice of Dr. M. John Pautienis thought we’d remind all our patients to practice good oral hygiene between your visits to our convenient Hyannis, Nantucket, and Orleans offices, to avoid cavities and gum disease, among other dental health issues.


That means you too, parents! After all, there's more and more evidence that suggests folks with gum disease are more at risk for serious health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes and strokes.


Here are a few simple steps you can take to improve your oral health so that you may celebrate National Smile Month for many, many years to come:

* Brush at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.
* Floss everyday to clean between your teeth and braces.
* Reduce your intake of sugary foods and drinks during your orthodontic treatment
* Visit your dentist regularly (every 6 months or as recommended by your dentist)!

Our priority is to make our patients feel comfortable and at home when they are in our office for their orthodontic treatment. We like to interact with them and explain what procedures are going to be done at each appointment. Our goal is to provide the best orthodontic treatment using state of the art technology, the combination of which gives our patients a good experience here at Dr. Pautienis' office.


See you at our offices real soon!
