You might call it a ‘smilestone.’™  And no practice in Massachusetts can boast this level of success!

 

Dr.  Andrew Chase of ARCH Orthodontics estimates that the practice will pass the 25,000-patient mark this year since its founding in Stoughton by his Dad, Dr. Robert Chavez in 1974. Today the practice has seven offices south of Boston and two on Cape Cod.

 

Dr.  Chase, who joined his father in the practice in 1989, says, “Our primary goal is always to perfect our patients’ smiles which helps to improve their health, comfort, self-image and confidence.  Another goal is to make our patients’ visits to our offices the greatest part of their day. We want to be the Orthodontic office of choice in the communities we serve and to be the best Orthodontic group practice. Making the patient our primary focus is how we built the practice, maintain loyalty, and thrive.” Patients range in age from 4 to 84. In keeping with a nationwide trend over the last decade, adults now make up about 30% of Orthodontic patients.

 

Today’s treatment options include a variety of braces and appliances that are comfortable and almost invisible, making patients less self-conscious. In addition, treatment times may be reduced with new technology, the latest:  AcceleDent.

 

In a patient survey, 97% of ARCH Orthodontics’ patients would recommend the practice to their family and friends. Over 94% said their appointment experience met or exceeded expectations.

 

ARCH works hard to attract and retain skilled staff. It sponsors regular in-service training sessions  such as an American Heart Association-accredited CPR training class. For the fifth year, ARCH is the Official Orthodontist of Miss Massachusetts.

 

The practice offers courtesy discounts to members of the armed forces and their families, and to municipal workers and their families in the towns where ARCH has offices.  ARCH Orthodontics has offices in Bridgewater, Brockton, Canton, Hyde Park, Randolph, Stoughton and Westwood, and offices on Cape Cod in Hyannis and Orleans. Arch offers complimentary initial consultation (a $500 value), and no-interest financing.

The front lawn of ARCH Orthodontics’ Canton office will be the site of a community menorah-lighting to mark the first night of Chanukah and to kick off the holiday season. The ceremony will be held on Sunday, December 6, at 4 p.m., at 800 Washington Street, directly opposite Canton Town Hall.  

The program will feature a traditional menorah-lighting ceremony and blessings, festive music, and hot latkes (potato pancakes). It’s expected that several local dignitaries will attend. Every child will receive a flashing, light-up menorah. Following the ceremony, the community is invited to a sit-down Chanukah dinner at the Chai Jewish Center, 576 Washington St, Canton. (For more information:  781-956-2507  /  cantonchaicenter@yahoo.com.

The 8-day holiday of Chanukah commemorates the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem following the surprise victory by the Maccabees over the much larger Seleucid Empire army in the year 166 CE.

Of note, ARCH is pleased to once again sponsor this multi-denominational display which will include Christmas decorations provided by Saint Gerard Majella Parish Church of Canton.

The ‘One Night, One Light’ celebration is organized by Rabbi Mendy and Rivka Horowitz of the Chai Center of Canton, which is dedicated to outreach and education. The Center’s mission is to reach out and create a warm, welcoming atmosphere for Jews to explore and experience their heritage in a welcoming environment.

Hosting the outdoor festivities is ARCH Orthodontics, the ‘Official Orthodontist of Miss Massachusetts’, which has 8 offices in addition to the Canton location.

The winner of a referral contest sponsored by a local Orthodontic practice will be able to choose whether they want ‘A Day of Beauty’ or a ‘Day of Racing.’

For each new patient that a current patient refers to ARCH Orthodontics, the patient will receive one entry. New patients must begin treatment by March 31, 2016. The person with the most referrals can either enjoy a complete beauty / hair makeover at the award-winning Makeovers Salon + Spa in Easton, or a heart-pumping visit to the F1 Boston kart racing track in Braintree.

Dr. Andrew Chase of ARCH said, “We’re always looking for new ways to create excitement for our patients, whether they are 4 or 84. We hear from our ‘alumni’ who attest to the fact that their new, wonderful smiles give them more self-confidence and improve how others perceive them. This contest gives everyone one more reason to smile.”

ARCH Orthodontics, the Official Orthodontist of Miss Massachusetts, offers free initial consultations (a $500 value) and no-interest financing.  The practice also extends courtesy discounts to families of military personnel and veterans, and to municipal employees in the 9 towns where ARCH has offices.  For an appointment, call 1-800-28- SMILE, email: smilemaker@archorthodontics.com  or visit   http://www.sesameblogs.com/archorthodontics

To mark Veteran’s Day and honor veterans and all those currently serving in any branch of the U.S. Armed Forces –and their families – ARCH Orthodontics is continuing a tradition and offering a courtesy discount of 5% off the cost of an Orthodontic treatment plan.

“This is our way of saluting our National Heroes,” says Dr. Andrew Chase. These courageous men and women who defend democracy and protect our country. They deserve a healthy and great smile because of what they’ve done or are doing.”

“A healthy America needs healthy citizens,” Dr. Chase adds. “Life is full of things to smile about and Orthodontic treatment is an investment in that smile which will reap benefits for a lifetime. A healthy and attractive smile creates a better impression on the outside that permeates from the inside.”

“ARCH Orthodontics is especially proud to have on its team Dr. Janeen Hughes,” Dr. Chase said. Events of 9/11 inspired her to change her plans and become a dentist with a Marine unit headed for Iraq. Dr. Hughes served as the only dentist onboard an amphibious ship off Kuwait in 2004. She earned a Navy Commendation Medal and a Letter of Appreciation for Outstanding Orthodontic Service from the U.S. Navy. She practices in ARCH’s Canton and Randolph offices.

Dr. Chase’s father, Dr. Robert Chavez who founded ARCH 41 years ago in Stoughton, said, in addition to the 5% courtesy discount, ARCH offers a complimentary initial consultation (a $500 value), plus no-interest financing.

Those currently serving in the military, veterans and members of their immediate families should mention the family member who served or is serving when calling to set up an appointment.
