If you couldn't get enough of hiking in national parks over the summer, join a hiking group in your community. If you prefer being on a team, look for a local adult league for your favorite sport. 2. Set yourself up for success. You would go to that 5:30 p.m. boot camp class, but it’s right in the middle of your daughter’s dance practice.

there’s a class after work, consider leaving an extra set of gym clothes at your office so you’ll never have an excuse not to go. 3. Make your workout an unavoidable part of your day. It’s tempting to join your coworkers for happy hour, especially when that outdoor patio is just around the block from your office. But what if it were that easy to get to the gym? Look for facilities that are on your commute, near your work, or close to home. If it’s easy to get to, you’ll be more likely to go and still have time for that drink afterward.

The iPhone of Orthodontics G’DAY, MATE!
more memory than early computers! But it’s not just machines and computers that keep getting better. At Pitner Orthodontics, there are technologies around the office that have changed dramatically without anyone noticing. Just look at Invisalign! Clear plastic aligners came on the scene in 1999, before NSYNC sang “Bye Bye Bye.” (Sorry for getting that song stuck in your head.) Even in the early days, Invisalign was pretty awesome, but there were a lot of things it couldn’t do. Patients with extreme orthodontic problems still needed to rely on traditional metal braces. But like all technologies, Invisalign has changed a lot over the last 20 years. Today, Invisalign can be used to treat crowding, gaps, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites (when the top and bottom teeth don’t touch even when the jaw is closed).

It’s always getting better. At one point, my momwould need to have a camera to take pictures of me and wait a week to have those photos developed. Now, her phone has
people don’t realize what Invisalign is capable of today. That’s like picturing a flip phone when someone talks about the new iPhone X! Thanks to improving technology, many patients who were told that Invisalign couldn’t help them in the past can come into the office today and start their journey toward a beautiful smile.
