Award-Winning Orthodontist David Blackburn Joins #1 Choice for Braces and Invisalign, Apple Orthodontix in Frisco, TX

    FRISCO, TX, August 04, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- With Boston in his rearview mirror, orthodontist David Blackburn hit I-90 and headed for Texas. Destination: Apple Orthodontix in Frisco. Having recently completed his post graduate work and orthodontic residency at the Boston University School of Dental Medicine, Dr. Blackburn looked for an established orthodontics-only practice where the doctor determines the treatment and care patients receive. But that's only one of many factors that attracted him to Apple.

"This practice has so many plusses," said Blackburn. "It's in an area that has a need for orthodontists, which is important to me. I like that Apple Orthodontix is family-owned and well known in north Texas. I consider that name recognition a great advantage. It was also nice to find a company that used the same state-of-the-art materials and products that I was familiar with like self-ligating brackets and Invisalign."

"The beautiful office and great staff pushed my decision over the edge," he added.

Before joining Apple, Dr. Blackburn practiced dentistry in N. Carolina and Massachusetts. He earned his CAGS from the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry in 2007. He was awarded the American College of Dentists Award in 2006 and the UOP Outstanding Patient Management Award in 2007. He is published and a member of Omicron Kappa Upsilon Honor Dental Society.

"I always knew I wanted to be a dentist, but I went into orthodontics because I enjoy a strong, proactive relationship with my patients. I love being able to change the bite and teeth to improve aesthetics and dental health," said Blackburn.

In his spare time, Dr. Blackburn enjoys distance running and cycling. Having lived in Argentina and Australia, he also has a passion for travel and photography. He's an Eagle Scout and has been a community Boy Scout leader.

"In 2006, I spent some time in Honduras doing dental work at a medical clinic. I want to continue reaching out to others. Giving back is important."

Michael Black, spokesman for Apple Orthodontix, commented," We're very pleased to have Dr. Blackburn join us. He's a stand out in the dental field, recognized by the profession and wonderful with patients. We welcome Dr. Blackburn to our practice."
