SPOTLIGHT ON MARIANNE!

Marianne is a "Jersey Girl" and has lived in N.H. with her husband Steve, since 1978.

She, Steve and their three grown children

and three grandchildren spend as much

time together as they can.

When not working at Dr. Kennell's office, Marianne is busy in the kitchen making baklava and in her sewing room till midnight!

Our friends at the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) have put together a helpful list that outlines when you should call Dr. Alan Kennell. Here are some early warning signs indicating it’s time to check in with us:

1. Early or late loss of baby teeth
2. Difficulty of chewing or biting
3. Mouth breathing
4. Finger sucking or other oral habits
5. Crowding, misplaced or blocked-out teeth
6. Jaws that shift, make sounds, protrude or retrude
7. Speech difficulty
8. Biting the cheek or biting into the roof of the mouth
9. Protruding teeth
10. Teeth that meet in an abnormal way or don’t meet at all
11. Facial imbalance or asymmetry
12. Grinding or clenching of teeth

Do any of these warning signs fit you? If so, give us a call as soon as possible!

Hope this helps,

The team at Kennell Orthodontics
