At Marc Allen Orthodontics, we aren’t just committed to healthy teeth, but healthy minds and bodies too.
Dr. Marc Allen firmly believes in the familiar adage, “Sound Body, Sound Mind.”
To further instill this way of thinking, Marc Allen Orthodontics has transformed their upstairs into a fully functional exercise room! Twice weekly, you can find the ladies of Marc Allen Orthodontics strengthening their core with an on-sight trainer. Once a week, employees are even invited to join a group exercise class to burn off some steam and extra calories. “Sound Body, Sound Mind” isn’t complete without taking diet into account though. With that in mind, Dr. Marc Allen also provides his team with in house and online nutritional and wellness coaching.

- Strive for 5 cups of fruits and vegetables a day
- Get moving
- Count your calories- so watch your portions
- Measure your progress
