The calendar has turned, the holidays are past, and New Year’s resolutions are getting tough to keep. It’s a new year and new braces can change your life in many ways. Here are the top things to know as you look forward to enjoying your new smile.

The New Year’s Resolution You Can Keep

While many New Year’s resolutions often become difficult to maintain long-term, braces have an advantage: a built-in schedule and support system. Your orthodontist will do all the work of planning out the details of your treatment, so all you’ll need to do to make progress towards achieving your goals of a straighter smile is to show up for routine adjustments. It’s a great way to change your smile with guaranteed results.

How Braces Can Change Your Life

Another reason that braces are an awesome New Year’s resolution is because of all the different ways they can change your life. New braces mean a straighter smile, but the changes aren’t only cosmetic.

Benefits of braces can include many health benefits to your teeth, gums, and whole body. As your teeth come into alignment, you may notice that your teeth and gums are easier to keep clean and look and feel healthier. You may also notice higher levels of confidence, which can begin to impact your job performance and relationships in positive ways. The benefits of braces are nearly endless!

Braces Options

So, it’s a new year and new braces can change your life, but which type of braces are right for you? Traditional metal braces? Porcelain? Invisalign aligners? There are so many options to choose from! It can feel overwhelming.

Each have their own advantages and disadvantages and the choice you make may depend on your lifestyle, desired timeline, age, the conditions you want treated, and many other factors. The best way to decide is to make an appointment for a consultation with an orthodontist to find out which option will best help you achieve your desired goals.
