If you or a family member have been putting off orthodontic treatment, here at BP Smiles we have one question for you: Why? Today’s treatments achieve life-changing results for patients seeking beautiful smiles, plus the added benefits of improving the way you breathe, speak and eat.
Today we’ve assembled a list of the most common excuses people have for delaying treatment, and our answer to those excuses.
- “I’m too old for treatment.” There’s no age limit for achieving a radiant smile, and in fact the American Association of Orthodontists reports that more adults are seeking orthodontic care than ever before. The AAO states that approximately one-third of all patients are now adults, a big jump compared with previous decades. This reflects a growing trend of adults seeking our treatment for both aesthetic and functional reasons.
- “Orthodontic treatment is too noticeable.” In fact, besides traditional metal braces, we have more discreet treatment options than ever. Ceramic braces blend in with your tooth color, and lingual braces hide behind the teeth. And ask us about clear aligners that no one but you will know you’re wearing.
- “The treatment process will be painful.” There may be some initial discomfort, but modern orthodontic techniques have significantly reduced the level of pain you’ll experience.
- “Treatment takes too long.” Although the amount of treatment time varies in each case, advancements in orthodontic technology have shortened treatment time for many patients.
- "It costs too much.” Insurance plans may cover a portion of the cost, and ask about our flexible payment plans and financing options that are available to make our treatment more affordable.
So, what are you waiting for? The boost your self-confidence and oral health will receive here at BP Smiles are priceless. Our experience, technology, professionalism and attentiveness have made our practice best-in-class for patients of all ages. Contact us today to begin your journey to a brighter future!
