Dr. Wendy Katz will tell you that braces, are cool, hip and usually pretty “fun” these days. In fact, these were among the
findings of a nationwide survey this year of moms whose children are going through or have had orthodontic treatment. New technologies such as Invisalign, In-Ovation braces and SureSmile, advanced computer software, color options, and even popular celebrities—Tom Cruise and Dakota Fanning, to name a couple—sporting stylish braces are making orthodontic treatment more comfortable, fashionable and cool for kids here in Marietta.
The study, conducted on behalf of our friends at the American Association of Orthodontists for February’s National Children’s Dental Health Month, found 86 percent of moms reporting that braces are cooler today than when they were children. Sixty-nine percent of moms also said wearing braces makes their children feel cool, and 81 percent reported their children’s experience with orthodontic treatment as either positive or extremely positive.
Different color options and the ability to change colors, for example, also provide exciting ways for our patients to customize appearances. That enthusiasm helps them to feel good about their orthodontic treatment, and may also contribute to the success of your treatment.
The best advice Dr. Katz has for someone who is a prospective patient and not enthralled with the idea of getting braces, is to remember your brother, sister, friend, or teacher who had them and think to yourself, if they can do it successfully then so can I.
