Outer Space Trivia Contest - September 2025

Space, the final frontier. Space is a seemingly infinite world of wonder and discovery, filled with mysterious black holes, stunning solar flares, elusive exoplanets and countless cosmic oddities.

While we may not be able to physically travel into space, we can use our imagination to transport us to this incredible wonder. During this month’s contest, patient’s were challenged to see how much they knew about outer space with some space trivia. Congratulations go to Harper Lacock for answering all the trivia questions correctly. As our winner she received a $25 gift card to Flagship Cinemas. Congrats, Harper!

Salt Water Taffy Summer Contest - August 2025

It just wouldn't be summer without trips to the beach, strolls on the boardwalk, and memories of caramel corn and salt water taffy. While those chewy summertime treats are off-limits to those in braces, there's no reason why we couldn't have some fun with them during this year's Summer Contest!

Patients were challenged to guess the number of salt water taffy in the jar. While many patients came close, we had one who came the closest. Congratulations to Sadie Champion! With a great guess of 240, Sadie was just two away from guessing the exact number of taffy in the jar. As our winner, she took home a $25 Target gift card.

Yay, Sadie!

Summer Seashell Contest - June 2025

Ahh, Summer...Don't you just love it! There's nothing better than sand between your toes, soaking up the sun, or collecting seashells by the seashore! We collected some seashells of our own, put them in a jar, and made them the theme of our Summer contest!

Congratulations go to Landon Mitchell whose guess of 259 was just three away from the actual number of seashells in the jar. As our winner, Landon took home a $25 Rita's gift card.

Way to go...Landon!

Dynamic Dyno Spring Contest - May 2025

Dinosaurs have long captured the imaginations of children and adults alike for a long time. During this month’s contest, patients were challenged with some dinosaur trivia.  Our winner, Seth VanGosen received a $25 gift card to Jurassic Golf & Arcade for some dino-themed fun. Congrats, Seth!

Did you know: The name "Velociraptor" means speedy thief? And the dinosaur with the longest claws was the Therizinosaurus meaning "reaping lizard." It's claws were up to 3 feet long! How cool!

Jelly Bean Easter Contest - April 2025

During this year's Easter Contest, patients were challenged to guess the correct number of gooey, chewy jelly beans in the jar. With an amazing entry of 1579, Amber came the closest to the exact number of jelly beans. How close were you?

The actual number of jelly beans in the jar = 1631

As our winner, Amber received a $25 gift card to Sweet Frog. If you're in braces, remember to steer clear of chewy treats like jelly beans to keep your braces and your teeth healthy.

St. Patrick's Day Contest - March 2025

Our St. Patrick's Day contest results are in and our congratulations go to our winner, Ava Smith. We had lots of patients try their luck at this year's St. Patrick's Day Contest, but it was just one who had the luck of the Irish!

With an amazing guess of 145, she came the closest to the actual number of golden nuggets in our leprechaun's pot. As our winner, Ava received a $25 Amazon gift card.

Wondering how close your guess was? The exact number of golden nuggets in the jar was 147.

Let it Snow Contest - January 2025

Don't you just love snow? After all without it there'd be no sledding, no snowball fights, no SCHOOL'S OUT snow days, and no catching snowflakes on your tongue! So in the spirit of the winter season, we held our Let It Snow Contest.

Congratulations go to our winner, Luke Kiernan. With an amazing guess of 106, Luke guessed the exact number of snowballs in the jar. As our winner, he took home a $25 Five Below gift card. Congrats, Luke!

Halloween Contest - October 2024

It just wouldn't be Halloween without candy treats, so we put them in our Forbidden Zone jar and challenged you to guess the number of sticky, chewy treats inside. With an amazing entry of 284, Lanie G. was just three away from the exact number of treats in the jar. As our winner, Lanie took home a $25 Amazon gift card for some fun online shopping. 

Halloween is always a tricky time for patients in braces. As tempting as those chewy, gooey candy treats may be, patients wearing braces and other orthodontic appliances need to steer clear of items like those in our Forbidden Zone Jar. Of course, you can still enjoy Halloween and all the fun it brings. If you still have some Halloween treats lurking around, remember to trade those sticky candies for braces-friendly options like chocolate or other melt-in-the-mouth goodies and don't forget to brush and floss to protect your teeth!
