We all have to take care of our teeth; there is no doubt
about that. While the benefits of getting your teeth cared for by professionals
should be a great reward in itself, it is always nice to get rewarded for
following your orthodontist’s instructions, taking care of your teeth, or
simply showing up to appointments on time.
Well, guess what? At Mastroianni Orthodontics, you can earn
money while you are in treatment! We have an incentive program called “The
Mastro Bucks Program” to help encourage our patients to be active participants
in creating their amazing smiles.
At Mastroianni Orthodontics, we feel it is super important
to celebrate our patients’ achievements and to let them know how proud we are
of their successes, so we are giving our patients the chance to earn wooden
nickels for being great patients!
Every time you come into our office, we will rate your
hygiene as “Excellent, Good, Fair, or Poor.” You must be given either an
“Excellent” or “Good” rating for the day to earn wooden nickels, which are
small wooden tokens that can be collected throughout your treatment and turned
in after your braces are removed for a prepaid Mastroianni Orthodontics American Express credit card!
The number of wooden nickels you collect throughout your
treatment will determine dollar amount on your card. Here is how the amounts
are broken down:
Wooden Nickels Dollar
amount
25 $10
50 $20
75 $30
100 $40
Want to know how to earn your wooden nickels? Here is how
you can do it!
1. Keep your teeth clean – When you come
in for a visit, your brushing will be evaluated. If you are given an A or B
grade, then you will earn 1 nickel,
and, more importantly, you will qualify to earn more. Your teeth must be clean
to qualify to earn coins in this and in other categories.
2. Come to your appointments on time - Our
computer tracks what time you arrive for your appointments, so we will use it
to determine if you are on time or not. (1 nickel)
3. No broken or “loose” brackets – Help
keep your braces attached to your teeth by avoiding foods on your “do not eat”
list! (1 nickel)
4. Be compliant – If we ask you to wear
rubber bands or headgear, then please do so for the proper amount of time each
day. (1 nickel)
Here are some special ways that you can earn more nickels:
*Refer a Friend – When
you refer and friend and that friend starts treatment with us, you will receive
20 nickels!
*Good Grades – Get
A’s and B’s on your report cards (NO C’s or below!) for nickels! You can bring
in your report cards twice each year and earn 5 nickels each time!
*Get Your Teeth
Cleaned Twice a Year – Simply bring a note in from your general dentist
that your teeth have been cleaned, and you will receive 5 nickels.
*Appear in the
Newspaper – When you appear in the newspaper or win a special award (such
as trophies, medals, ribbons, etc.), show us, and you will earn 5 nickels!
*Send a Postcard on
Vacation – Going on a vacation? Be sure to send us a postcard! We will post
it to our bulletin board at the office and will give you 5 nickels in return!
You can collect up to 5 wooden nickels at each of your
regularly scheduled visits. Keep the nickels in the cup we will provide you and
turn them in at the end of your treatment. It is that simple!
We believe that by rewarding your good behavior you will
take pride in your treatment – we want to give you the credit that you deserve!
