Have you been putting off getting braces because you've been trying to find the right time? Well, there is no time like the present. Think about it, the sooner you get started, the sooner you or your child will get the straight teeth you've always wanted.
The experts at Jarosz & Valente Orthodontics share why Fall is a great time for you or your child to start the journey to a beautiful smile.
Life is Back into a Routine
Routines get derailed in the Summer, and when Fall arrives, life gets back to normal. Routines keep people on track for all of the things that need to be done. Once your family is back into their routine, it will be second nature to manage appointments and to keep up with the maintenance of braces.
And right now, while we are living a "new normal" with remote work and learning, you may have more flexibility in your schedule for orthodontist appointments. Additionally, some people are concerned about how they will look with braces and try to avoid smiling, or they cover their mouths with their hands. Right now, people are wearing masks and staying home more, so this can be a good time for those who are concerned about how your braces will look.
Helps with the Sweet Tooth
Halloween is right around the corner, and with that comes a ton of candy. If you or your child has a sweet tooth, this is the perfect time to get braces to help you resist all those unhealthy treats. Once you get braces, you'll need to abide by these rules:
- Avoiding certain foods
- Brushing at least twice per day and after meals
- Flossing regularly
- Rinsing your mouth daily
- Avoiding biting down on hard foods
- Maintaining impeccable oral hygiene
We strongly advise our patients to avoid candy and sugar in general while wearing braces because candy can damage the braces, and sugar turns to acid in your mouth, leading to tooth decay. So think of it as a good way to curb the sweet tooth.
The Holidays are on the Way
The late Fall and early Winter are filled with different holidays, and life will get pretty hectic with decorating, shopping, cooking, and entertaining. The last thing that you or your child needs is dealing with the discomfort that new braces can cause during the holidays. If you get your braces in the Fall, you'll have time to adjust to them so that you can enjoy the holidays.
