Nominate Your Parent or Legal Guardian - Spread the Aloha!

It’s that time again… North Coast Orthodontics is launching another “Spread the Aloha” initiative that will award a selfless parent/guardian in the Santa Cruz community!

Since this initiative launched, we have had the privilege of benefiting a very deserving foster child in need with free orthodontic treatment, presenting a local Deputy Sheriff with a Local Heroes award for saving an infant’s life, and gifting a teacher a much needed spa certificate and gift card for classroom supplies. We feel so fortunate to be able to help the community and recognize those who are truly making a difference.

With our parent/legal guardian Spread the Aloha edition, we plan on continuing this mission. We are encouraging those in the community to share why a parent/legal guardian they know deserves to be recognized for selflessness. Afterall – the act of being a parent is selfless from day one. Our parents/guardians do not often receive the kind of recognition they deserve, and everyday selfless acts go unnoticed. Our hope is to change that, starting with this contest. The winning parent/legal guardian will receive free orthodontic treatment from North Coast Orthodontics. We couldn’t be more excited to be able to offer such an amazing gift!

To nominate a parent/legal guardian, visit www.spreadthealoha.org, fill in your contact information, and tell us why your parent or legal guardian deserves to win and click submit.

Nominations end on June 30th!

Thank you for continuing to help us “Spread the Aloha” in our community.

Spread the Aloha: Teacher Edition Has Launched

Here at North Coast Orthodontics, we’re thrilled to announce the newest “Spread the Aloha” initiative to benefit a deserving teacher in our community!

Our philanthropic project “Spread the Aloha” began in 2018 with the mission to spread smiles across Santa Cruz and beyond and because of you, we have been able to do just that.  Since the launch, we have awarded a very deserving foster child in need with free orthodontic treatment and awarded a local Deputy Sheriff our Local Heroes Award for saving an infant’s life.  We are thrilled to be able to reward and recognize those making a difference in our community.

Our teacher edition of Spread the Aloha will continue this mission. We are encouraging students in our community to nominate an amazing teacher or school administrator who inspires them. Our educators often do not receive the recognition they deserve. We hope to change that, starting with this contest. The winning teacher will receive a Spa Certificate & $300 gift card for school supplies and the class of the winning teacher will win a pizza party!

To nominate a teacher, visit www.spreadthealoha.orgwww.spreadthealoha.org, fill in your contact information, tell us why your teacher deserves to win and click submit.

We’ll choose one deserving teacher on March 31^st!

Thank you for continuing to help us “Spread the Aloha” in our community.

Drs. Schabel & Chan are ‘Spreading Aloha’ in Santa Cruz

Help Us 'Spread the Aloha' by Nominating Someone in Need for Free Orthodontic Treatment! 

As local orthodontists in Santa Cruz, Dr. Schabel and Dr. Chan have always enjoyed giving back to the community. This year, we’re taking our philanthropy to a new level with our campaign called ‘Spread the Aloha.’

Our ‘Spread the Aloha’ initiative aims to spread a message of positivity in Santa Cruz and surrounding areas. The true meaning of the word “Aloha” after all is one of Love, Peace and Compassion, the perfect word to depict our office’s mission in 2018.

With two kids of their own, Drs. Schabel and Chan understand the importance of being role models, both as parents and business owners.  This initiative helps fulfill that privilege and responsibility in a fun and engaging way.

The first way we’ll be “spreading the Aloha” is by giving a deserving individual in our community the gift of a confident smile through our orthodontic treatment giveaway contest.  We’re asking for your help in identifying this deserving individual!

Help us by nominating a friend, colleague, or family member who would benefit from this life-changing award. We’ll choose someone who has a need for orthodontic treatment and who demonstrates a commitment to making the world a better place. Nominations can be submitted by visiting www.spreadthealoha.org. The recipient of complimentary orthodontic treatment will be announced on June 21^st. 

We look forward to supporting our community through our ‘Spread the Aloha’ initiative. If you have any questions or would like more information, email us at info@northcoastortho.com. 

Super Hero Smiles at NCO

Not all superheroes wear capes. But our Kid’s Club members do! We’re excited to launch our new and improved North Coast Orthodontics Kid’s Club for kids ages 7 and up.

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends all kids see an orthodontist for an initial check-up at age 7.

Some parents are surprised to hear that. Why so young? There’s good reason. At age 7, baby teeth are starting to be replaced with permanent teeth and it’s the perfect time to start tracking your child’s jaw growth and development to look for potential orthodontic issues. If an issue is detected early, Drs. Schabel and Chan can work with you and your child to start treatment at the most opportune time to avoid more extensive treatment later on like extractions and jaw surgery.

While you may be able to notice more obvious signs like crowding or overbite, there are subtle changes that occur over time that only a trained professional would notice.  By getting routine orthodontic & growth check-ups at North Coast Orthodontics, you’ll be setting your child up for a lifetime of healthy smiles.

Benefits of Early Interceptive Treatment:

• Better long-term health of teeth & gums
• Optimized tooth position for future dental treatment
• Reduced likelihood of permanent tooth extraction
• Reduced likelihood of future surgical correction
• Improved speech development
• Simplify and/or shorten length of comprehensive orthodontic treatment
• Improved self-esteem from enhanced smile & facial esthetics

As a community service initiative, North Coast Orthodontics offers FREE orthodontic & growth check-ups for kids ages 7 & up! 

As a member of the North Coast Orthodontics Super Cool Smile Club, your child will receive:

• Free orthodontic & growth screenings every 6 months
• Access to patient contests
• Fun prizes & giveaways
• North Coast Orthodontics superhero cape or mask

Call (831) 427-2237 to enroll your child today and pick up our Super Cool Smile Club REWARDS CARD!
