There’s never a wrong time to start orthodontic treatment. In fact, the sooner you begin, the shorter your treatment will usually be. That’s true for kids, teens, and adults of any age. While you can get terrific results later in life, the best time to begin is now.
As fall weather sweeps Central Florida, you can catch a welcome cool breeze here in Port Orange. You might look at the calendar – with fairs, fall festivals, and Halloween just around the corner – and think to yourself, “I’m not quite sure this is the best time to look for treatment.”
At Beauchamp Orthodontics, we know that timing braces correctly is important. We’ll never push you to start treatment if you aren’t ready. Since you’re looking at information about orthodontics, though, part of you is wondering if now might be your chance. Good news: Fall is a terrific opportunity!
For kids and adults alike, fall is becoming a popular season to begin orthodontic treatment.
Here’s Why You Should Start Braces In the Fall
Fall might just be the best season for orthodontics. With summer, kids want to enjoy treats on their vacation. In winter, you’ve got all the big year-end holidays just around the corner. And in spring, the school schedule is often so busy that a visit to the orthodontist slips down the priority list.
Here’s why fall stands out as an excellent time for braces:
1. Fitting It Into Your Schedule Is Simple
With school back in session, you’re back to your routine. That can actually make it easier to get your orthodontic appointment done than it would be in summer. Not surprisingly, lots of families opt to begin braces in the summer, which can leave Dr. Beauchamp’s schedule looking packed!
We love to help you save time at Beauchamp Orthodontics, so take this as a tip from us: You’ve got tons of scheduling options in the fall. With hours from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday, a quick trip to the orthodontist’s office is possible around your kids’ school hours for many families.
Of course, kids should try not to miss school for the orthodontist – but if you have to, we’ll make sure it’s worth the trip. We’ve worked hard to make a family-friendly orthodontic practice you’ll truly enjoy visiting, and we do our best to care for patients efficiently. Games, giveaways, and surprises are just a few of the neat treats kids can expect.
2. It’s Time For Those Year-End Dental Benefits
Not every dental insurance policy covers orthodontic care, but for those that do, the clock is ticking.
For most policies, benefits reset at the end of the year. When it comes to dentistry, that often means annual preventive treatment, like a cleaning, that can be covered once from January 1 to December 31. It’s wise to get care in the fall, because demand rises in winter as families try to use all their benefits.
If you’re not quite sure what your policy covers, it’s not too late to find out. One of the best things you can do is call up your provider and ask any questions. If your coverage isn’t everything you wish it was, that’s okay. Beauchamp Orthodontics helps out our patients through our in-house financing.
Interest-free orthodontic financing means you never have to wait for the orthodontic treatment you need!
3. With Braces, You Can Really Look Forward To Summer
Kids and teens get faster results from orthodontics than adults, it’s true. But adults often find it a little bit easier to learn to care for their braces or clear plastic aligners. Younger patients get a head start in orthodontic health when they make brushing, flossing, and the rest part of their school-day routine.
So, even if your child is getting Invisalign® aligners – which are super easy to take care of – it’s best to begin in the fall so good habits are instilled by summer. Let’s face it: Everything can get a little lax over the break, and these healthy routines are no exception.
By starting now, kids will build habits that stick – even when they’re working hard at relaxing.
