Many in Decatur, IN think that the sole reason to get orthodontic care is to achieve a “prettier smile.” While this of course is a good reason to undergo treatment, Chapman Orthodontics reminds that it is not the only reason. Dr. Chapman warns what may happen if you put off orthodontic treatment.
Right now, your problem is easily treated. But if you wait much longer, your problem may get worse. Possible effects of waiting too long may include:
- More pain
- More complex and lengthier treatment
- Increased treatment costs due to more harm to mouth and teeth
- Higher risks of infection or complications
- Longer recovery time
- Having to take more time off from work for treatment and recovery
To put it simply, orthodontic treatment is an investment. Chapman Orthodontics says not to delay in your dental treatment because it may save you discomfort, money and time in the long run. Please know that if you have money concerns about your orthodontic treatment plan, our staff in Decatur, IN can work with you on a payment plan so you can begin the treatment you need.
