Who’s afraid of “metal mouth” and the appearance of braces? Not adults, apparently. Recently, our staff at Tavarez Orthodontics read a fascinating statistic: adults getting braces has jumped 24 percent from just 14 years ago! Yes, braces help make your pearly whites strong, healthy and perfectly-aligned, but perhaps another reason for the spike in adult braces is this: cosmetics. In an age—and society—where looks matter as much as anything, and at a time when evenly-aligned teeth might be the difference between getting a job or a promotion, adults are choosing to invest in orthodontics. Did you know one of every five patients in orthodontic treatment is over 21? Orthodontic treatment with Dr. Kathleen Tavarez can be successful at any age, and adults especially appreciate the benefits of a beautiful smile.
If you’ve been thinking about getting that perfect smile, Dr. Tavarez would love to have you visit for a consultation. Give us a call to set one up!
Happy Thursday!
