Hallman Orthodontics, honoring our veterans and heroes

The unofficial kickoff to summer—Memorial Day weekend—is a time Americans stop and remember those men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom over the course of American history.

Memorial Day also marks the unofficial start of the summer, and for many of our patients, getting out of town for three days after being cooped up in the office or in the classroom is sweet relief. At Hallman Orthodontics, we also know Memorial Day weekend is ripe for travel. After all, it’s a season of vacations, adventures and great memories.

What about you? What are you and your family up to this Memorial Day weekend? Whether you are headed to a barbecue, a camping trip, or hitting the open roads with family this weekend, we want to know all about it!

Dr. Hallman and our entire team wish you a nice and relaxing (and safe) Memorial Day weekend!

Dr. Hallman at the 111th AAO Annual Session

Patients at Hallman Orthodontics can feel confident they are receiving the best in orthodontic health care. Dr. Linda Hallman‘s goal is to balance nature and technology to create the optimal smile for you. We look at every patient of ours as a whole to ensure you get all the personalized attention you deserve.

One of the many ways Dr. Hallman achieves that goal is by attending important conferences and lectures. Continuing education is an important part of Hallman’s work as an orthodontist. With continuing education she is able to stay on the cutting edge of current orthodontic treatments and always offer her patients the most sophisticated treatment options.

Dr. Hallman is devoted to continuing education and furthers her learning through reading, attending conferences and continuing education courses. One of those conferences includes the 2011 AAO Annual Session in Chicago, where she will head later this week.

It’s an opportunity for us to mingle with dental experts and some of the sharpest orthodontic specialists in the world. The AAO Annual Session is always an educational event that is one of the largest orthodontic conventions on the planet – and one that allows Dr. Hallman to stay up-to-date on all the latest technologies and orthodontic treatment options available. This, in turn, allows her to give you, our wonderful patients, the best treatment experience possible.
