Achieving a healthy and beautiful smile is priceless, yet it’s essential to acknowledge the financial aspect involved. When it comes to orthodontic treatments, such as braces, the cost becomes a significant consideration.
We see a lot of parents who come into our practice to ask whether or not they should “fix” their child’s overbite. They have valid concerns for their child’s health and wellbeing.
It’s no secret that smoking is bad for your health. Even those who do smoke or use other tobacco products often wish they could quit because they suffer devastating consequences from this unhealthy addiction.
Some of our patients ask us if it’s ok that they whiten their teeth while they have their braces on. Their thinking is that they want their teeth to be in the best, brightest condition when the day finally arrives and their braces are removed.
People usually associate Invisalign with mild to moderate misalignment. Usually those with slightly angled teeth or overcrowding that has bothered them for too long. But what about people with severely crooked teeth with overlapping and overcrowding? We often get asked: Are my teeth too bad for Invisalign?
Cost is typically the most common barrier to orthodontic treatment. If you are worried about the price associated with braces or Invisalign, you are not alone!
Good oral hygiene is an absolute necessity once you have braces. (Well, it always is, but it’s extra, extra important if you are undergoing an orthodontic treatment). This means brushing after every meal, flossing regularly and taking your time to do extra cleaning between the brackets and under the wires.
When patients visit South Surrey Smiles, it is our team’s goal to give them the best experience to make the orthodontic journey comfortable and enjoyable. It is our mission to create healthy, bright, life-changing smiles that give our patients a heightened level of confidence and overall happiness.
We often get asked which is better to brush your teeth with braces – electric or manual toothbrushes? While either option can produce a job well done, the quality of the job actually lies with the brusher themselves. In other words, it depends on how well the brusher brushes their teeth in the first place.
We try to be honest and let people know that they will need to make certain lifestyle changes for the duration of the treatment. Yes, you’ll need to plan in advance if you’re going out for the night, and yes, you need to think ahead when planning your day.
