“I had a bad
experience with
braces as a child.”
It’s understandable that you
wouldn’t want to put your
child through the same bad
experience. The good news
is—orthodontic care has
changed a LOT since then.
Things have gotten
smaller, quicker, and
less painful. Think
about it — even
though you did
not have a good
experience, you
still ended up
with a beautiful
smile. Your

child deserves the same
opportunity — especially
considering they WON’T
have to endure the same
discomfort.

“I think I’m too
old to get braces.”
Adult braces are “in” these
days. In fact, today about
20% of my patients are adults
(10 years ago it was around
5%) and that number is only
increasing. We offer many
choices in discreet, clear
braces, including Invisalign
and ceramic braces.

Don’t forget — once your
braces are removed, you’ll
enjoy a gorgeous, gleaming
smile! You’ll fall in love with
the way you look, and your
spouse or significant other
will DEFINITELY love it too.

“My child is afraid
they’ll get made
fun of.”
Braces are a lot more
accepted and widespread in
today’s society.
In fact, it’s estimated that 3
million teens throughout the
U.S. and Canada wear braces.

Braces are often seen as
fashionable in teen culture (in
fact, in Asian countries, fake
braces have even become a
fashion statement!). We offer
many choices in discreet,
clear braces, including
Invisalign Teen and ceramic
braces.

“I’ve heard it’s
painful.”
The process of putting braces
on your teeth is fast and
painless. Afterwards, your
teeth may be a bit tender
and sensitive to pressure.
If the inside of your cheeks
become irritated, applying
small pieces of orthodontic
wax will help.

For some, the tenderness
goes away in a few hours, for
others, it takes a few days.
Anyone who has had braces
will tell you — the small
amount of discomfort you
may endure is worth it for a
lifetime of beautiful teeth!

“I’ve heard
horror stories of
people having
braces for 5-10
years.”
Average treatment time for
braces is 1-3 years. It is very
rare that braces would be left
on for periods longer than 3
years.
10 7 Excuses For Not Getting Braces
As is often the case with
the “horror stories” on the
Internet, it is the patient
who has made the highly
inadvisable choice not to
visit the orthodontist for
extended periods of time,
leading to major problems.
It is EXTREMELY important
to stay on-schedule with your
appointments after you get
your braces installed. Doing
so will assure the very best
results.
