A Parent's Perspective (Part two of Austin's Story)
"Austin’s Insignia kit arrived the last week of April. I brought him to the office since it was an early release day so he could get his braces on. He was very excited. He ate a really good breakfast that morning since he wasn’t sure how he’d feel later on. I stayed in the office while Robin worked on him. I didn’t want to get in the way and I had lots of work to do to keep me busy. It went really smoothly and he was done in no time! All new patients get a care package with items to help them take care of their teeth. Dental hygiene is even more important when you have braces! Robin gave him detailed instructions on how to brush and floss, what he can and can’t eat and what to expect these first few days. He promised to follow all the directions and I gave him some ibuprofen in case he got sore. "

Can I get braces as an adult?
Are you an adult who is not crazy about your smile? Have you considered orthodontic treatment, but think you are to old for braces? I was but now I am an adult patient wearing braces and I am so excited to be well on my way to feeling great about my smile. I had braces as a teenager, like many others I only wore my retainers sporadically, at some point lost them and as the years went by my teeth gradually became more and more crowded.
I spent many years being self conscious about my smile but I was also totally resistant to the idea of wearing braces as an adult. Then I began working for Dr.Vinson and after learning more about the benefits of the Damon System and seeing the beautiful smiles we were creating for our patients I finally came around to the idea.
The day had finally arrived to get my braces on and I was soooo nervous. From what I remembered of having braces before the process of getting them on was very lengthy and uncomfortable. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy and quick it was, only taking a little over and hour and It was not painful or uncomfortable at all. I was a little sore in the following days not nearly as bad as I had anticipated. I have to admit that It was an adjustment to see myself with braces at fist but after a few days I was completely use to it, now I don't even notice. I have now had my braces on for 10 weeks and It is amazing the changes I already see. I am just so excited about the end result. I am very happy to be an adult Orthodontic patient.
