As we welcome a new year, you may start thinking about the goals you want to accomplish this year or setting some New Year’s Resolutions. If you’ve been considering straightening your teeth, 2024 could be the year you finally say “yes” to orthodontic treatment! Why? Because advancements in orthodontics happen all the time (especially in recent years). But what does this mean for you and your smile in the new year?
Let’s find out! Here’s the top 5 reasons to get braces or Invisalign.
1. Quick aesthetic transformation
At GO Orthodontics, we provide families in Tupelo, Lee County and North Mississippi with personalized orthodontic treatment using braces or Invisalign®. Because of our commitment to continued education, the use of modern technology, and a variety of treatment options, your smile transformation doesn’t have to be a long one! In fact, our average patient takes only 15 to 18 months to complete their treatment with us. Some patients even start seeing results within the first 6 months!
2. Will help improve your health
The benefits of orthodontics go beyond just a beautiful smile too! Common orthodontic conditions like crooked teeth and overbite can spell disaster for the health and integrity of your teeth and gums, causing improper wear and tear on your enamel and oral hygiene issues. Orthodontic treatment will gently move your teeth into healthy alignment. This can make your oral hygiene routine a breeze thus improving your oral health (and your overall health too!) While your body can have a fantastic immune system, it also counts on proper oral hygiene to help keep the bacteria in your body under control. So by undergoing orthodontic treatment and sticking to a strong oral hygiene, you can make caring for your smile and your health that much simpler!
3. Gives you long-term savings
A new year can mean a new budget and if you’re not sure you can fit orthodontic treatment into your plans this year, we’ve got some information for you! The good news is that your treatment cost will always be upfront with us. Our team will go over your unique treatment cost, maximize your insurance benefits for you, and map out the financial options available to you at your first visit.
But one of the most compelling reasons to get orthodontic treatment in the new year isn’t just the affordable care and payment plans available for you, it’s also the long-term savings you can experience! By starting orthodontic treatment now, you can save money in the long-run from the effects these conditions can have, such as dentofacial trauma or even periodontal disease in severe cases. While only 10% of people require medically-necessary orthodontic treatment, the ADA estimates about 50% of people have misalignments that require orthodontic care. So if you have crowded teeth or underbite or any of these signs you need braces now, orthodontic treatment can be a wise investment in your smile and for your wallet.
4. You have more options than ever before
Orthodontic treatment isn’t just braces anymore and braces aren’t the same as they used to be too! Thanks to orthodontic advancements, standard braces are smaller and gentler on sensitive mouths. At GO Orthodontics, we offer modern and comfortable orthodontic treatment options to get to your dream smile, like:
• Invisalign® clear aligners offer a discreet and comfortable way to transform your smile with the help of a series of clear, removable aligners.
• Metal braces. Kick it old school with this traditional treatment.
• Clear ceramic braces. Get the reliable results of traditional treatment, but with a discreet twist!
• Or Iconix white-gold braces for a one-of-a-kind look during your smile transformation.
5. A new year means new technology
While the combined experience of our orthodontists plays a huge part in creating and implementing your orthodontic treatment, the technology we use helps us to make an accurate and precise diagnosis and enhance your orthodontic experience. Using digital x-rays and the intraoral digital scanner, iTero, our team can create a comprehensive digital file of your orthodontic and dentofacial health. Our iTero element also gives you a chance to spy a 3D image of your smile and give you a sneak peek at your future smile! The GO Ortho Team also uses more subtle technology to give you a seamless experience, from our digital patient forms to ability to text us with questions, you can relax while your smile transforms.
