Your smile is most often one of the first things that people notice about you. A great smile is a feature that can turn heads. But not all of us were born with perfectly straight teeth. Most of us found growing up that as our secondary, permanent teeth began to grow in they crowded each other a bit, making our smiles more practiced and contrived to reveal less of our embarrassingly crooked teeth. The use of Orthodontics can correct this issue and make smiling a perfectly natural, perfectly beautiful action yet again. Sites like http://www.drjoeldavid.com/page/Orthodontics.aspx can tell you more.
What Are Orthodontics?
Orthodontics are most commonly referred to as braces. However, braces are just one type of orthodontic corrective procedure. Arch expanders, which can correct or minimize the need for braces if implemented early enough in childhood, are another type of orthodontic. Also retainers, which can now be made to be completely clear and barely noticeable, can be used in adults to correct slight to moderate crowding problems.
What’s The Process?
In the case of braces, you can have a child evaluated for the need for orthodontics as early as age 6. During this evaluation the dentist will visually inspect your child’s mouth to determine whether or not he/she is a good candidate for orthodontics. If so, dental impressions and x-rays of the jaw joint, head and teeth will be taken. Next a consultation appointment will be made during which time the dentist will discuss the treatment plan and anticipated length and cost of said plan. You may find that, especially with David and Associates Centre for Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry, the process of having braces is not as expensive as you might think. All porcelain braces can be started with no down payment and may cost as little as $130.00 per month. However, you will also receive cleaning, x-rays, and fluoride treatments every six months as well as a Zoom! Whitening treatment after the braces are removed at no cost. The total savings is around $1500.00.
