So in order to get things straight, we came up with a list of common orthodontic Myths and Facts.
Myth: Braces are only for kids!
Fact: No way! Actually, two of five orthodontic patients is a full grown adult.
Myth: People wearing braces can magnetize their mouth to the fridge.
Fact: Nope. Braces are made from non magnetic materials, and today there are even clear braces that are made out of plastic.
Myth: Ouch! Braces are painful!
Fact: After a short adjustment period you’ll forget that you even have braces.
Myth: You have to wear braces for years and years.
Fact: Not necessarily. Some patients wear braces for only a couple of months, not years and definitely not years and years!
Myth: Braces look ugly and I’ll be embarrassed in school or at work.
Fact: Braces aren’t what they used to be and there are so many varieties to chose from. Try invisible braces for a subtle look
