OX Orthodontix not only strives to be Howard County’s top provider of orthodontics and top Invisalign provider, but we also are committed to being active members of our local community, including giving back to our local schools when we can.This Spring, our orthodontists have been visiting elementary schools for career day events to teach students about orthodontics, treatment, and what it’s like to work as an orthodontist. Dr. Selnick and Dr. Smith have allowed these students to become more familiar with the field of orthodontics and what to expect when visiting the orthodontist for treatment with braces or Invisalign, paving the way for Howard County kids to have healthier smiles! Dr. Selnick and Dr. Smith both have enjoye...

Invisalign has become a popular orthodontic treatment method because of the discreet look of the clear aligners and the convenience the removable aligners offer compared to traditional metal braces. If you’re considering Invisalign as your course of orthodontic treatment, it’s important you choose an orthodontist who is experienced in this newer orthodontic technology so your treatment ends with exceptional results. Our orthodontists are highly experienced with the Invisalign, having treated more patients with the clear aligner system than 99% of orthodontists worldwide.

October marks National Orthodontic Health Month and OX Orthodontix was able to start the month off big - with celebrating 5,000 Invisalign® cases treated! We pride ourselves on being the top Invisalign provider in the Clarksville and Ellicott City areas and we were very excited to celebrate the milestone of producing 5,000 OX smiles using the innovative orthodontic treatment of Invisalign.

Dr. Sandra Selnick is one of the talented orthodontists at OX Orthodontix, which provides attentive and individualized orthodontic care to patients in the Ellicott City, Clarksville, and Columbia, MD areas. Dr. Selnick’s patients know that she’s the expert when it comes to Invisalign, braces, and all things orthodontic treatment. However, it may not be as well known that, in addition to being a skilled orthodontist, Dr. Selnick is also a brilliant home gardener!

Whether you’ve just started orthodontic treatment with OX Orthodontix or have been wearing braces or Invisalign for some time, it’s always important to maintain excellent oral hygiene during the course of your orthodontic treatment to ensure great treatment results. Dr. Selnick and Dr. Hickory, your Clarksville and Ellicott City orthodontists, have some oral hygiene tips for patients wearing braces or Invisalign. Practicing these good habits during orthodontic treatment can help you achieve an improved smile when you complete your treatment!

“When you are curious, you find lots of interesting things to do.”

We agree wholeheartedly with AAO president Morris Poole, that this quote from

the late Walt Disney seems fitting for orthodontists like Dr. Hickory, Selnick,

Derakhshan, Smith and their staff who display great intellectual curiousity about

their discipline and a multitude of other topics as well.

What better place than Disney World to get creative minds going! Recently at the

2016 Annual Session in Orlando, the doctors and staff gathered information about

a wealth of clinical and scientific information. In addition, they attended in­depth

seminars about practice management.

All the attendees returned highly motivated to share their ideas and information

If you have a heart problem, who do you visit? A cardiologist.

When you have a skin problem, who do you visit? A dermatologist.

These analogies sum up the difference between a dentist and an orthodontist. An orthodontist has the training, experience and expertise to make sure you choose the treatment option that is best for you. The doctors of OX are specialists in straightening teeth and aligning the bite.

A dentist is similar to your family doctor- great for check-ups and general oral health needs. An orthodontist is a specialist who has two to three years of additional education and is an expert in straightening your teeth and assisting you in your treatment choice.
