Even though the majority of patients our Bluffton, SC, orthodontist sees are teenagers and adults, it’s important for everyone to understand the significance of early evaluation for children. Many parents put off orthodontic evaluation for a variety of reasons, but if you have a child, it’s crucial to providing them with a lifelong healthy smile and increased self-confidence.
When it comes to your oral health, our orthodontic specialist wants you to know it’s never too late to take steps toward a healthier smile. Whether you’re 16 or 65, your teeth are vital to your overall health and need the proper attention to last throughout your lifetime.
We know that our patients are eager to see their awesome braces-free smiles as soon as possible.We’re right there with them. But there is a lot of misinformation out there when it comes to teenagers and orthodontic care — from harmful DIY videos online instructing kids on at-home “treatments” to community boards where patients share the dangerous “tricks” they used to make their treatments go faster.
In 2013, country musician Faith Hill made headlines when she arrived at the Grammy Awards wearing something that few other celebrities have in public: braces. The then-45-year-old admitted to reporters that she needed the braces — she chose the clear-bracket variety, by the way — because she had forgotten to wear her retainer as a kid. “Wear your retainers, kids!” she told a radio station at the time.
The cost of treatment varies by patient, but at Miler Orthodontics, our goal is to make braces affordable to everyone.Here’s how we do it.
More adults than ever before are seeking orthodontic treatment, according to the American Association of Orthodontists. In fact, one in four orthodontic patients in the United States is over the age of 18.Why is this? The reasons vary, of course, and can be deeply personal.
There are a lot of reasons braces can be necessary past the teenage years, but only one reason to avoid them: unfounded fear. If you are a candidate for braces — whether for the first time ever or because your teeth have shifted over time — and you’re still on the fence about them, allow us to clear up a few of the misconceptions that might be holding you back.
You don’t have to wait until your braces come off for your smile to really shine. Gold braces can do that for you right now, and there’s only one place in Bluffton where you can get them: Miler Orthodontics. We are very excited to offer Forever Gold Brackets by American Orthodontics as a treatment option for our patients.
One of our favorite things is knowing that we get to see you. And that’s not just because of all the progress you’ve made between visits. We truly treasure the relationships we’ve built over the years with our patients and with their families
