Specialist in Orthodontics for Children & Adults 1704 Charlotte Ave. Suite 100 Nashville, TN 37203 Ruth Ross Edmonds, DDS, MDS Specialist in Orthodontics for Children & Adults Summer 2014 Nashville Orthodontist Now Offering AcceleDent, a FDA-Cleared Breakthrough Innovation that Speeds Up Orthodontic Treatment by As Much As 50% Braces by Dr. Ruth announces that we are now offering AcceleDent, a noninvasive, FDA-cleared medical device that speeds up orthodontic treatment by as much as 50 percent. The hands-free oral device, used in conjunction with orthodontics, employs SoftPulse Technology® to accelerate tooth movement with just 20 minutes of daily use. The prescription-only AcceleDent has been praised as a breakthrough treatment by some of the nation’s leading orthodontists and patients who have experienced significantly faster orthodontic treatment with the device. By offering AcceleDent, Dr. Ruth is differentiating Braces by Dr. Ruth from other orthodontic practices by incorporating the latest orthodontic techniques and innovations into the practice while striving to resolve one of the primary concerns patients have with orthodontics – treatment duration. “I’m excited that we are an AcceleDent provider because we’re now able to offer patients a fast, safe and gentle solution that speeds up their orthodontic treatment,” said Dr. Ruth. “Patient feedback has been remarkable with many patients reporting that AcceleDent also reduces discomfort often associated with orthodontics and orthodontic adjustments.” Dr. Ruth’s Newsletter Summer 2014 Ruth Ross Edmonds, DDS, MDS Specialist in Orthodontics for Children & Adults Ideal for both adolescent and adult patients, AcceleDent is a timely orthodontic innovation as the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) reports an overall growth phase for the industry, including a 20 percent increase in patients since 2010. The AAO reports a 14 percent increase in adult patients and a nearly 22 percent increase in patients ages 17 and under. The growth in both segments can be attributed to advancements in orthodontic technology, such as AcceleDent. Braces by Dr. Ruth invites patients and prospective patients interested in accelerated orthodontic treatment with AcceleDent to call 615-321-3663. 1704 Charlotte Ave. Suite 100 • Nashville, TN 37203 615.321.3663 • fax 615.321.3664 • www.bracesbydrruth.com Kudos to Jay-Sheree Allen, 3rd-year Meharry medical student, for sponsoring the event, Hindsight is 20/20, featuring Ruth Ross Edmonds, D.D.S. '97 and Rachael Ross, M.D. '01. ! Admitting she was the “regimented, stringent one,” during the program, Dr. Ruth turned to Dr. Rachael and asked her to describe herself. Dr. Rachael quipped, “I studied, but I like to have a good time, so I partied too!” Though they may be like oil and water, it wasn’t long before everyone could see their love and respect for each other and the love they have for their family. Dr. Ruth is the owner/principal of Braces by Ruth and her sister, Dr. Rachael, is a recurring co-host on the Emmy® Award-winning talk show, The Doctors, a practicing board-certified family medicine physician and sexologist. Dr. Ruth, graduating number one in her dental class, wore an exquisite dress, pumps and matching jewelry while Dr. Rachael, donning a typical Hollywood, California (where she tapes The Doctors) style mini, relaxed, sat back in her chair and showed off her bright gold sneakers. The siblings were enlightening and sometimes outright funny bringing laughter to the crowd who convened in the Compton-Nelson Auditorium the evening of May 1, 2014 to hear their stories. Both were in agreement when it came to giving sound advice to the students in the audience, telling them to “study, choose what you like and like what you choose (referring to their specialties), keep family close, get a GOOD financial advisor and listen to what God is telling you.” Other recommendations? “Build your own brand and don’t be afraid to conduct shameless self-promotion.” In other words, you are allowed to toot your own horn. They are sisters with the same relatives . . . and that’s where the similarities end! Students had a chance to ask questions, talk one-on-one with the doctors and pose with them for pics. What Our Patients are saying.... "Braces by Dr. Ruth changed my life and my smile! When I first came in I was very insecure about my teeth and now I gladly show my smile to the world! They are very kind and really make you feel at home and they explain every step they take to give you the best smile you can possibly have.” -Cydney V. "I've always wanted to get braces but wanted to be in a place financially before I tried since my insurance didn't cover them. Someone recommended that I try Dr Ruth so I set up a appointment. After meeting with her and her staff, I put a payment down and decided this is where I wanted to be. I had several other appointments that week for pricing but I cancelled them. Between the affordable pricing and great customer service, this is without a doubt the best orthodontist in the middle Tennessee area!!! Highly recommend them!!!!" -Stephen W.
