Asked & Answered: Can my kid still play sports and music with braces?

Short answer: yes to both.

For sports, grab a mouth guard. We recommend the pre-formed, ready-to-wear kind (the ones you pull out of the package and go). Skip the boil-and-bite or custom-fitted versions. They sound like a good idea but they don't play well with braces.

For wind and brass players, expect a short adjustment period. A week or two of practice and most kids are back to sounding like themselves.

You can find the pre-formed guards at Dick's, Target, or on Amazon. Easy.

Got a question for next week? Drop it in the comments. We answer them all.

Every smile we work on started with someone who taught us how to smile in the first place.

To my mom, and to every mom reading this: thank you for the patience, the love, and the millions of small things you do that nobody sees. Happy Mother's Day.

Day two. A few more of our team, and the women who shaped them. 🌸

You'll notice it isn't really about us. It's about them. The way they showed up. The way they still do.
If someone comes to mind while you watch, tell us about her below. 💐

Today, we're sharing the first few stories. A handful of our team, the women who raised them, and a little of what got passed along the way. 🤍

Mother's Day is right around the corner, and we wanted to do something a little different this year.

Through the end of the week, we'll be sharing photos of the women who raised our team. No names. Just their faces, and a few words from each of us about what makes our moms ours. The lessons that stuck. The little things we still hear in our heads. The reasons we turned out the way we did.

We hope it makes you smile. And we hope it makes you think of someone, too.

If it does, we'd love to hear about her. Drop a photo in the comments, share a memory, or just tell us one thing that makes your mom (or the woman who raised you) special. We'll be reading every one.
