If you’ve been following along, you know that our big kid has started on the path to straight teeth and a healthy, beautiful smile with Dr. Larson and his team at Smiles Orthodontics.
You may have also read that 7 (Yes,7!) is a great time for that first visit.
But, orthodontics isn’t just for kids and teens. Adults may choose to get braces or other orthodontic treatment, too, and our friends at Smiles Orthodontics would love to talk to you about Your smile!
Why should Adults have Orthodontic treatment? Here are just a few of the great benefits:
Improved self confidence in personal and professional life
Unraveling of crowded teeth allows for ease of flossing
Crowded teeth can lead to cavities, plaque build up, and periodontal disease
Teeth that are properly aligned are less prone to gum disease
Straight teeth can make chewing more comfortable, ease jaw discomfort and headaches
If you’re worried that you missed your chance-good news! Healthy teeth can be moved at any age, and there are now many more options than there were when you were a kid. Braces can be clear, smaller in size, or you may be able to get Invisalign (clear aligners).
Maybe that’s why one in every five orthodontic patients is now over the age of 18, and many are in their 40s, 50s and beyond. Honestly, I think as moms and dads we often put ourselves last, but isn’t it time to make your health and happiness a priority, too? If a straighter, healthier mouth has been on your, “Someday,” list, think about moving it up. I know you want to have a family photo where you’re all showing your bright smiles. Plus, you’ll be showing your kids that there is no upper age limit on responsible self care.
Our friends at Smiles Orthodontics also have some grown up friendly perks!
Complimentary exams for all new patients
Central location for working adults
Family discounts
Appointments before and after work M-F!
I can also tell you that we have been very impressed with how prompt and efficient their office is. We never have to wait more than a few minutes for our appointments (This kind of bums my kid out because they have WiFi and the world’s best waiting room), and they have been GREAT about working around our busy schedule. They even got us in after hours the same day when one of my son’s doo-dads came off.
I know you will be just as impressed. You can see more information on the Smiles Orthodontics website or Facebook page, or Give them a call today at 253.848.4537 and have Dr.Larson talk to you about your options. I promise he’ll answer all your questions in a relaxing, no-pressure conversation, and that first visit is always free!
Update-Right now, if you’re a new patient, and you mention Sounds Fun Mom (or show the Smiles ad on your phone), you will get a free Waterpik at the start of treatment! We got one when our son started braces, and it has been Super helpful. This is also a really high dollar freebie-just remember to mention their ad at SFM to get it. Thanks so much!
