The end of the year is approaching fast; make the most of your health fund before your benefits run out and refresh for 2012. Most health funds run per calendar year. If you have treatment that is to be completed, it is wise to use these benefits before the end of this year.
Needing treatment to be completed but it is hard finding the funds to make it happen? Love Your Smile offers a 12 month interest free payment plan with Gem Visa. Please call to inquire about this great financing option.
Not going away over Christmas and the New Year period? Why not book in for your General Check up and Clean appointment. Love Your Smile Dental Care will only be closed on the Public Holidays throughout December 2011 and January 2012. Keep us in mind incase that dental emergency pops up, of course we’ll be here to treat you!

Dr Angie Lang was nominated to the Dental Board and taking a role in the Dental Tribunal next February - March. This will mean Dr Lang will be unavailable from the 27th February – 2nd March. However Dr Amanda Seigo and Hygienist Miriam McCluskey will still be available to see during this period.
We would like to advise all our patients who currently have their treatment done under the Chronic Disease Scheme through Medicare, that there is some uncertainty about the schemes’ future, and it may be ending at the end of 2011. There has been nothing confirmed by Medicare but a lot of media speculation. Make the most of your treatment planned benefits remaining incase this does occur.

Dr Angie Lang's Invisalign update May 3: Today, I moved on to my second set of aligners. The first 2 weeks went quickly. I found that while I was getting used to wearing my first set of aligners I was biting the inside of my cheeks and clenching, but this has eased now. I have 16 weeks of treatment left for my upper teeth and 32 weeks left for my lower teeth. I haven't noticed a difference in the appearance of my teeth yet.
Dr Angie Lang is also attending Nobel Biocare's 2011 Scientific Symposium course. She will be seeing Dr Christian Coachman speak as well as many other international and local speakers. This course runs over 2 days and will cover all areas and aspects of Implant Surgery.

Dr Angie Lang starts her Invisalign treatment. Invisalign uses "invisible" aligners or clear plastic plates to straighten teeth. The aligners are changed every 2 weeks, moving teeth in stages to achieve the final result. It is a great alternative to braces in many cases. Thanks to Dr Chrys Antoniou at Smile Design Miranda.
Dr Lang's feedback from day 1: The aligners feel odd in my mouth but there is no pain. I am surprised that it hasn't affected my speech. I am told that the aligners feel very unusual for the first 2 days. I can already feel the movement of the teeth and it reminds me of how it felt to have had braces as a child. Getting used to having to take the aligners out at meal times. So far so good.
