WILL BRACES HURT?

This is one of the most common questions asked. You are not the only one wondering if you will be experiencing pain when you initially get your braces on and during the course of treatment. 

Most people are pleasantly surprised at how little discomfort there is. The actual process of getting the braces on you will find very easy. We have even had patients fall asleep while getting them on. You can expect to have some tenderness for a week or so after they are placed. Taking Tylenol or what you usually take for discomfort helps alleviate the tenderness. Getting used to them in your mouth takes awhile. You will be given some soft wax to place over the braces. This is typically only needed for the first few weeks and then the inside of your mouth gets used to them.

Because of the newer technology the orthodontic wires are very thin and gentle and the braces are very small making the whole experience much easier than in the past. 

The bottom line is, it will all be worth it when you see that beautiful healthy smile when the braces come off!

Can I Afford Orthodontics?

This is a question many people ask, especially in this day and age. Who hasn't been effected by this economy we have been experiencing? I believe I am safe in saying, hardly anyone. The two biggest questions our patients and their parents ask is how long will treatment take and how much will it cost? 

Dr. George knows first hand the struggles that families go through to make ends meet. He and his brothers and sister were brought up by a single mom that had to struggle to make every penny count. He realizes that not every families budget fits into a neat little payment plan. Every family is unique, therefore he chooses to work with families on an individual basis.

When you come in for your complimentary orthodontic exam Dr. George will explain the orthodontic treatment and give you an estimate of the time the treatment will take. The treatment coordinator will work with you, and together you will choose the best payment option for you and your family.

Our goal is to create beautiful healthy smiles that will last a lifetime. Call us today and schedule a complimentary exam. You might be pleasantly surprised to discover that orthodontics will fit into your budget and you can be on your way to that big beautiful smile you have always wanted.
