Why Should You Consider Orthodontic Treatment As An Adult?

Beim Orthodontics understands the concerns you may have about being treated for orthodontics as an adult. We recognize that adults and children have several different needs, and require a different level of attention and care. Braces aren’t just for kids anymore. Tooth alignment can be changed at any age if your gums and bone structure are healthy.

Why should you consider orthodontic treatment as an adult?
  • Straight teeth are healthy teeth — Teeth that are properly aligned are easier to keep clean with flossing and brushing, and may help prevent other health problems.
  • A beautiful, straight smile builds confidence — Orthodontic treatment can help boost your self-confidence, giving you a better quality of life and the freedom to smile without holding back!
  • Mouths left untreated can get worse — Not receiving orthodontic treatment when it's needed can create long-term health issues costing you more in the end.
A large percentage of our patients are adults, and they agree that it’s never too late to improve your greatest asset – your smile.To learn more about the benefits of adult orthodontics at Beim Orthodontics, please contact our practice to schedule an appointment. We understand that you have a busy schedule, and we will work with you to make sure each office visit is as convenient as possible.

Tips For A Picture-Perfect Smile

With summer lurking around the corner you can expect to attend some special events fairly soon. Whether you’re celebrating a graduation, wedding, or heading out on a family vacation, it’s safe to say you will probably be taking tons of pictures. Do you dread taking pictures because of a lack of confidence in your smile? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. For this reason, we’ve gathered a few easy tips to help you relax and learn to love your photos.

Our Beim Orthodontics team has created a list of easy things you can do to have a picture-perfect smile this summer.

Be Positive
When you’re self-conscious about your smile, it shows. Try to relax and think positive happy thoughts. It helps to think of things or people you love, or incidents and memories that make you laugh. Laughing will help you look natural and that will show in your smile and your eyes.

Say Cheese & Strike A Pose
When we tell you to say “cheese” we really mean to say “banana.” Saying banana will give you an easy-going smile as opposed to cheese which will draw out your lips due to the “ee” sound. Also, position your body in a pose that feels natural and comfortable.

Be Confident
If your teeth aren’t in the best shape right now, that’s ok. Be confident because your best smile will stem from that. You can aide your confidence by maintaining healthy, bright, and clean teeth.

If you’re holding back your smile because of misaligned teeth, we can help. Beim Orthodontics provides the highest quality treatment and utilizes the most advanced techniques available today to help you get the picture-perfect smile you’ve been dreaming of. We offer a full range of braces, including clear, Damon® braces and Invisalign® clear aligners.
