With Schools Closed, Now is the Perfect Time for Kids to Get Braces

OKLAHOMA CITY - May 22, 2020 - PRLog -- After shutting down in mid-March to slow the spread of COVID-19, dentists and OKC orthodontists are slowly beginning to open their doors. But while lockdown may be over for orthodontic offices, the same can't be said for our state's schools. There have been rumblings that schools may reopen for the fall semester, but that's still four months away. And that's exactly why this spring is the perfect time to start your kids with braces.

We understand that getting braces for your kids is a big decision. It will also take time for your child to adjust to their new hardware and develop healthy habits. With braces, your child will have to be more diligent about brushing and flossing, and there are certain foods he or she will have to avoid during treatment. There's a lot to get used to when starting treatment with braces, so it can be extremely helpful to have a few months to adjust at home before heading back to school.

Craig & Streight Orthodontics are among the Norman, Mustang and OKC orthodontists (https://www.craigandstreight.com/contact-us/) who have reopened and are ready to serve their patients. If you've been thinking about getting braces for your child, Dr. Craig, Dr. Streight and the team believe now is the time to get a head start.
