I Think My Child Needs Braces Ryan Tamburrino

Most people have heard things about the orthodontic profession and know a little about how it works. At the very least, most people know that they are seeking orthodontic care because they want straight teeth and a great smile. They also realize they will need to wear some type of appliance to get it, whether that be braces, clear aligners, or any number of other options available. There's an abundance of information (and even mis-information!) about braces and orthodontics out there. However, even with this knowledge being readily available, most families I speak to are still pretty confused when it comes to knowing when they should see an orthodontist, how to choose the best orthodontic provider for their family, and understanding how the orthodontic process works. I believe an orthodontic journey for a family should be about more thanjust teeth, which is something that seems to be forgotten in today's hectic, esthetic-forward society. Orthodontics is about creating a healthy, functional bite to last for the rest of your life. It's about teamwork, forming trust, and fostering mutual respect among your family, your orthodontist, and the office team. It's about realizing there's a living, breathing unique human attached to those 28 pearly whites. It's about giving your child's confidence room to grow and letting their personality shine!
