We wanted to give a little shout out to Gus this evening. You may recognize him from our Buffalo location. One thing about Gus is that he will always go above and beyond. Today he put on his mechanic “hat” to help out a patient with a tire problem. We love Gus because he is always willing to lend a hand and to do it with a smile. Thanks Gus for giving everyone at Hansen a 😃 . . .

Beware...things are pretty “spook”tacular over at the Buffalo office. Our annual Halloween decorating contest took a detour this year and staff came up with some hauntingly good variations. Which of the Buffalo Haunted HallowHouses is your favorite? Are you a fan of tacky tourists at the tiki bar? Do you feel like “dragon” your feet? Are you in a bit of a “fog” these days? Make sure to vote for your favorite at

This is Halloween, this is Halloween...with everyone’s thoughts turning to ghosts and goblins don’t make this month scarier than it needs to be. Avoid sticky and extremely hard candy to help keep your brackets or Invisalign attachments right where they belong. We don’t want to sound witchy but it’s important to follow the guidelines you were given when you first started treatment. Don’t end up like poor Mr. Jack O’Lantern with missing teeth (or brackets)! No broken brackets certainly gives us a but it should do the same for you. Make sure to take extra care for your teeth and braces this month in honor of National Orthodontic Health Month.

While going through orthodontic treatment, it is crucial to maintain good oral hygiene. Brushing and flossing 2-3 times a day along with a diet that is rich and healthy can help keep your teeth at their best. We all know there are a lot of foods we should avoid while wearing braces but there are also things you can eat that will promote better oral health. If you are looking for some healthy food and snacks to enjoy during treatment, consider choosing foods like yogurt, soup (especially chicken noodle soup), fish, cooked veggies, eggs, and even smoothies. All of these items are easy on your braces but they also provide a variety of nutrients that can help make your teeth stronger in the long run.

Plain unsweetened yogurt is high in protein and calcium. Yogurt is also full of probiotics which help reduce the amount of bad bacteria in your mouth and on your gums.

Soup is a great choice because it requires little to no chewing (perfect for after an adjustment). Another benefit of soup is the broth which is loaded with minerals and other things that help make your teeth and bones strong.

Fish is fantastic for oral health because it is loaded with omega-3 fatty acids which help lower rates of gun disease.

Cooked fruits and veggies are easy on your teeth and they are chock full of antioxidant vitamins that help to protect your gums from cell damage and bacterial infections.

If you are looking for a super food, eggs are a great choice. They provide lots of protein but they are also rich in phosphorus which helps build strong bones and teeth. No matter how you choose to eat them they are easy on your teeth!

After adjustments, smoothies are a great source of fruits and veggies, which means they are full of vitamins and nutrients. Another benefit of smoothies is the soothing temperature and texture of smoothies. They have been known to provide a numbing effect.

Any way you look at it eating healthy is smart all the time, but especially while undergoing treatment. A healthy diet will ultimately give you a

Meet the team Monday. First up, is Dr. Hansen. The man behind the brand. Dr. Hansen graduated magma cm laude from Brigham Young University (BYU) with a Bachelor of Science in Zoology. He then pursued his Dental degree at the University of Kentucky, where he graduated with high distinction and was admitted to Omicron Kappa Epsilon, the National Dental Honor Society.

After graduating, he moved his family to Las Vegas to open his private practice. Dr. Hansen will be celebrating 13 years of practicing orthodontics in Las Vegas this September. He is a member of several professional associations including the American Association of Orthodontists, the Nevada State Orthodontic Society, the American Dental Association, and the Nevada Dental Association. He is a board-certified Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontists.

Dr. Hansen is a fan of BYU basketball and football, as well as the Boston Red Sox, but he enjoys sports of all kinds. He enjoys spending time with his family, especially at Disneyland.

It’s safe to say that time with family gives Dr. Hansen a .

You’re probably wondering why there is a post about avocados on an Orthodontist’s page? Well, you may not know this but avocados are good for you in a variety of ways. Avocados can help keep your breathe fresh. Avocado juice cleanses your mouth and helps remove bacteria in your intestines and gut that can cause bad breath.

There are plenty of other health benefits associated with avocados. They are high in fiber which can help with weight loss. Avocados are high in oleic acid which is a monounsaturated fatty acid that can help reduce inflammation.

July 17th is a big day for all of us at Hansen Orthodontics - it’s Disneyland’s birthday. On this day 65 years ago, Disneyland opened its gates. Dr. Hansen and his family are HUGE Disney fans which means that when we are looking for a team building experience, we pack up and head to California to play at “The Happiest Place on Earth”. These are pictures from our last two office trips to Disneyland. You can’t help but like Disneyland when you visit with this group!

We are so lucky to have a boss who knows how to relax and enjoy the little things - like a good churro or a Dole Whip. Thanks Dr. Hansen for helping us relive a piece of our childhood while making new memories as a team. Working at Hansen (and Hansen Disney trips) definitely give us all a .
