What does it mean to find the “right” time to start orthodontic work? Because a procedure relies on appliances that must stay in place for an extended period of time, you may be eager to wait until a period where you feel less worried about aligners intruding on your daily life. In other words, you may feel tempted to wait until after the holidays, or try to time out care so that it does not overlap with another significant event. With that said, you should know that your Bellaire, TX dentist’s office is able to provide different options for corrective work, including care with appliances that are difficult for others to notice, and even clear aligners that can be removed. As a result, you can find it easier to begin treatment, and easier to adjust to having your smile straightened! (more…)
