Dr. Gordon Honig talks adult orthodontics

Who’s afraid of “metal mouth” and the appearance of braces? Not adults, apparently. According to a new study, adults getting braces has jumped 24 percent since 1996! In fact, did you know one of every five patients in orthodontic treatment is over the age of 21? Yes, braces help make your pearly whites strong, healthy and perfectly-aligned, but perhaps another reason for the spike in adult braces is this: cosmetics. In an age—and society—where looks matter as much as anything, and at a time when evenly-aligned teeth might be the difference between getting a job or a promotion, adults are choosing—wisely—to invest in orthodontics. Orthodontic treatment with Dr. Gordon Honig can be successful at any age, and adults especially appreciate the benefits of a beautiful smile.

If you’ve been thinking about getting that perfect smile, Dr. Honig and our dedicated team would love to have you visit for a consultation. Give us a call at either our Middletown or Newark location to set one up. Also, have a great weekend!
