In modern times it has become social acceptable for people to get Braces. Hill-n-Dale residents of all ages are recommended to get braces as they are not just for kids. At any age our teeth can shift and malign over time, and there are many different options for types of braces available, even for the most self conscious. Braces vary in the time it takes for them to come off, some people get them off in as little as six months, while other will have them on for two and a half years or even longer. You should always talk to your dentist to see if braces are a great choice for you.
I’m too Old for Braces
One common misconception that a lot of patients have about getting braces is that they are now too old to get braces. Hill-n-Dale residents should not think that braces are only for growing children while there bones are still changing. Full grown adults are perfect candidates for having their smiles changed with orthodontic procedures and applications. If you are worried about how they will look on you, or the fact that you might have them on for an extended period of time, consider that there are many different types of braces, such as clear retainers.
Braces Seem like They are Uncomfortable
Many people think that because braces shift your teeth that they cause an immense amount of pain. While it is known there is a little discomfort at first with braces, Hill-n-Dale patients often get acclimated to having them on their teeth in only a week or two. People should be more worried about the extra steps necessary when they have braces, such as taking extra time and care to brush your teeth, then they are about whether or not it hurts having braces.
