Dentists and Orthodontics have a funny schedule. We tend to get busy in the summer, since kids are out of school and available to make it to more appointments. It’s great for kids getting braces, because they have time before school starts to get used to wearing them.
On the other hand we also get busy in the beginning of the school year, as families scramble to get it all done, and utilize their insurance benefits effectively.
There’s really not a bad time to get your whole family on the road to a healthy and beautiful smile!
Planning Orthodontic Treatment Accordingly
If you have children that need orthodontic treatment, the sooner you get them scheduled for an appointment the better. We understand that families are busy. Life is hectic, and managing a family with all of the different needs can be challenging.
One of the benefits to our practice is our family focused philosophy. We have patients ranging from all ages-from toddlers to elders! In fact, we are a multi-generational practice. Some of our patients have parents who came here when they were kids!
What this means for you, is a one stop shop for the whole family to receive expert, compassionate, and thorough orthodontic care.
We recommend that children see an orthodontist by the age of 7 for a check-up. Even if your child’s teeth look straight, there may be hidden issues invisible to the eye. And with orthodontic care, the sooner you get started, the better.
The longer you wait to address orthodontic issues, the more severe those issues may become. You will save time, money, and hassle by getting your child started with preventative care.
Orthodontics Aren’t Just For Kids
More and more adults are seeking orthodontic treatment. Straight teeth aren’t just about aesthetics-they help to facilitate a healthy mouth in general. Straight teeth ensure a proper bite, meaning no unnecessary wear and tear to your teeth. Straight teeth also mean that your jaw is strong and healthy. By evening out your teeth now, you can ensure less problems as you age.
With advancements in technology, as well as the introduction of Invisalign aligners, more adults can fit orthodontics into their busy lifestyles. Just because you’re not a kid or even teenager anymore, doesn’t mean you don’t deserve the perfect smile!
