Beautiful Smiles Make A Lasting Impression

An attractive smile is a wonderful asset. It contributes to self-esteem, self-confidence and healthy teeth and gums so you can maintain your smile for the rest of your life. One of the most common questions we hear from our new patients is “how much do braces cost?”  The cost of orthodontic treatment depends upon many factors, including the severity of the problem, its complexity, and time necessary to treat the problem. The length of orthodontic treatment, on an average, is approximately 24 months. We see our patients on an average of every 5-6 weeks during this time. Once active treatment is completed, then the retainer phase is initiated. This phase usually lasts 1-2 years. During this time, we will see our patients every 3-6 months. So, overall Dr. Nett will work with each of our patients on an average of 3-4 years.  What other fields of medicine gives you the same value for your dollar!!!  Orthodontic treatment is a life-long value.

Studies show that children with nice looking smiles are more popular with their peers and their teachers. These children achieve better grades and are more successful throughout their educational careers. Experts say that this increased success is due to the increased self-confidence and people skills compared to those children with less attractive smiles and less self-confidence. These positive changes carry over into their adult lives and careers.

A recent study shows that adults with attractive smiles were twice as likely to be hired for the same positions as other adults with less attractive smiles. This study took place in an interview setting. Two groups of adults with similar qualifications were interviewed for a job position. The group with attractive smiles had twice as many people invited back for second interviews.
