Orthodontic Myths

Happy National Orthodontic Health Month!!!

Spooky season has begun and following the theme of myths and scary stories we'd like to debunk a couple of myths that have been introduced over the years. You may have heard a few of them already.

Myth #1. Anyone who provides braces or clear aligners is an orthodontist.
Myth #2. Orthodontists are so expensive.
Myth #3. Office visits are not necessary to get straight teeth.
Myth #4. Orthodontic treatment takes years.
Myth #5. Orthodontic treatment is only cosmetic.
Myth #6. Orthodontists only offer braces.
Myth #7. Orthodontic treatment is just for kids.

The best way to debunk a myth is finding out the truth. Come by our office for a complimentary consultation!
