Exeter Smiles Encourages Reading Families to Start Teen Braces This Summer

READING, Pa. - July 6, 2026 - PRLog -- Summer is often considered a slower season for dental and orthodontic care, but Exeter Smiles is encouraging Reading families to look at the season differently. For teens who may need braces, summer can be one of the best times of year to begin treatment before classes, sports, and school activities resume in the fall.

The first few weeks with braces are often a learning period, as teens adjust to new brushing habits, braces-friendly foods, and small changes in comfort or speech. Starting before school begins allows them to build confidence with those routines at home.

"Starting braces in the summer gives teens time to get used to their braces, parents more flexibility with scheduling, and everyone can head into the school year feeling more prepared," explains Dr. Joel Silman. "When you combine that timing with affordable pricing, it becomes a great opportunity for families who have been considering braces."

Affordability has always been central to the Exeter Smiles experience. For well over a decade, the practice has helped teens and adults across eastern Pennsylvania access braces and Invisalign aligners at industry-low prices. With a convenient Reading location, Exeter Smiles serves families throughout Berks County and nearby communities looking for high-quality care at a price that fits their budget.

Traditional braces at Exeter Smiles are just $3,995. This pricing includes x-rays, photos, 3-D scans, appointments, fixes, and retainers. Exeter Smiles keeps costs low by focusing on what the team does best: braces and Invisalign. This streamlined approach reduces overhead, allowing the practice to pass savings directly to patients without compromising quality, care, or results.

Patients can also take advantage of transparent pricing, flexible payment options with in-house and third-party financing, a long list of accepted insurance providers, and a paid-in-full discount. Combined, these options make Exeter Smiles one of the most affordable providers for braces in Reading and Berks County.

"At Exeter Smiles, we want treatment to feel simple, supportive, and manageable," says Chelsea Miklich, Office Manager. "We work closely with families to create clear plans, answer questions, and make sure teens feel confident throughout their smile journey."
