So You've Decided to Move Your Teeth!

So You've Decided to Move Your Teeth!First of all, let us congratulate you!  Making the decision to do something healthy for yourself is something that should make you feel tremendously proud!  We've noticed that lots of our patients don't seem to enjoy this pride and excitement until they're  having their braces removed, but we're ready to change that.  We truly believe that you deserve to be proud of the process, not just the result!

Just think about it. Lots of people have goals to achieve a fitter physique, a healthier blood panel, a straighter smile, improved mental health and clarity.  Why doesn't everyone always meet their goals?  That's likely because inaction is always the easier choice, especially when reaching that goal can take time and effort.  It's much more fun to pursue instant gratification!  It takes a special kind of person to commit to a process in order to reach a goal, and you have decided to be that kind of person!  Let's celebrate that!

Not only can orthodontic treatment improve your physical oral health, but an improvement in the appearance of your smile may also have a major impact on your self esteem, a key component of your overall psychological well-being!  And in some cases, orthodontic treatment improves the function of your teeth, making it possible to bite or chew with comfort where there had once been pain - what an awesome way to influence your overall quality of life!

So yes, orthodontic treatment results may not happen overnight.  Perhaps you've even heard of short-cuts that sound a little too good to be true (hint: they probably are).  However, patience and dedication are most often rewarded with the best results, results that last a lifetime and have an impact for years to follow.

So, once again, if you've made the choice to undertake a journey in orthodontics, we congratulate you because you are demonstrating to yourself and the people around you that you take your health seriously.  You're setting a positive example for the others in your life.

So many patients are solely focused on the end result, but our hope is that you will begin to enjoy the process!  We hope that you wake up in the morning and feel excitement because you're in the process of doing something great for yourself!  You may not see changes every day, but that doesn't mean they aren't happening.  Part of the process is being patient, and you can rest assured that by continuing your journey, you are each day one step closer to success.

We only get one chance to take care of these amazing physical specimens that are our bodies.  Let's treat them with the respect they deserve.  We hope you enjoy your journey and take pride in your commitment. We hope that you smile proudly, never hesitating to show the world that you are in the middle of an exciting transformation!  We hope that you're excited to share your choice with friends and family!  You deserve to be excited about this!  You're doing something wonderful, and hopefully you'll inspire everyone around you to do something wonderful for themselves as well!

We're here to join you along the way with tips and suggestions for enjoying the process.  Hope you'll come along for the ride!  Here's wishing you a happy braces journey!
