The cost of orthodontics–is it worth it?

Orthodontics is a well-known popular option for kids, teens, and adults worldwide who want to achieve a better-looking smile. But, the cost is still extremely present and acts as a deterrent for people getting braces. At Gentle Dental Care, our hope is that we’ve eliminated the issue of cost by instilling multiple payment options for you to explore. Still, many of you may be wondering if the cost is worth the punishment of metal braces plastered among your teeth. We’re here to tell you they can be.

Our braces are comfortable, beautiful, and affordable.

Braces: Not just for aesthetics

Braces are mostly known as a purely cosmetic appliance; crooked, gapped, or out-of-place teeth are the most common reasons people get braces. But braces aren’t just purely cosmetic; they are most often used to fix a common mouth problem known as TMJ or temporomandibular joint dysfunction. If you have TMJ, then you know how intense the pain can be. If you don’t suffer then, you should know the pain can be excruciating and make daily activities, like eating, a painful chore.

So, while most people turn to the metal bracket for cosmetic reasons, many of our patients turn to them for a different reason: pain. What does this mean for you? Well, if you’re in pain, then braces are most definitely worth the investment considering the pain you succumb to from TMJ or other jaw disorders. If you want braces for a purely cosmetic reason, then we’re the team to trust. We’ll provide you with a free consultation and evaluation.
