Are you still at school and worried that braces will look uncool, dorky and hurt?
At Platinum Orthodontics we have so many different types of braces available we can definitely find the right ones for you. And they are not what they used to be! Today braces are quite small and can be very hard to notice. Some braces are clear and some are stainless steel. Elastics (O-rings) that go around the braces come in heaps of different colours and you can change these colours braces each time you visit.
Most people do not get picked on for having braces – in fact it’s quite the opposite, braces have become cool!
Famous people who have worn braces include:
Tom Cruise, Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Jennifer Love-Hewitt have all worn braces. Prince Harry had clear braces and even sports people like Anna Kournikova, Martina Hingis and Monica Seles have all had braces too. Brittany Spears, Gwen Stefani and even model Tyra Banks have undergone orthodontic treatment.
Remember you will not have to wear braces forever and for the short time and minimal discomfort, the result will be a terrific smile for the rest of your life!
Do all baby teeth need to be lost before treatment?
Orthodontic treatment will usually not begin until all baby teeth have been lost and the adult teeth have erupted. This is not always the case however and so assessment by an orthodontist prior to all baby teeth being lost is normally of value.
What investment will be required?
This really depends on what is required at the time and whether treatment should be staged. Treatment commenced at the ideal stage of development if often more financially and biologically economical. The orthodontist will be able to give you an indication of the likely investment required during the consultation appointment.
