What's on your mind? From Dr. Jeffrey Stein

By now, you probably know how our blogging routine works: Each week, Dr. Jeffrey Stein and team blog about important topics pertinent to orthodontic care and your well-being, including innovative orthodontic techniques that Dr. Stein offers.

This week, however, our creative team thought we’d step back and ask you, our wonderful patients and readers: what’s on your mind? What would you like to know about the always-changing field of orthodontics? What would you like us to focus on our blog? Perhaps there’s something you’ve wanted to ask Dr. Stein for a while now? Let us know by posting here or on our Facebook fan page!

Ask Dr. Stein: Am I too old for orthodontic treatment?

Recently, our staff at Braces by Stein read a fascinating statistic: 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?

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 to invest in orthodontics. While orthodontic treatment is often associated with teens, adult orthodontics and braces at our Palm Harbor and New Port Richey offices can achieve amazing results for adult patients. With treatments such as Invisalign®, you can have your teeth straightened less noticeably. Orthodontic treatment at Braces by Stein can be successful at any age, and Dr. Jeffrey Stein knows adults especially appreciate the benefits of a beautiful smile.

If you’ve been thinking about getting that perfect smile, Dr. Stein and our entire team would love to have you visit for a consultation. Give us a call to set one up!

This March, what are you up to? From Dr. Stein

It’s almost springtime. The daffodils and buttercups are on their way, the birds are chirping, the sun is warming up and the smell of freshly-cut grass is wafting from baseball fields across Florida. Dr. Stein and team thought this would be a good time to ask: What are your plans for March?

Are you ready for spring? Are you participating in school sports this year? Do you have exciting plans? We’d love to know them all!

You may share your stories or plans with our team here, on our Facebook fan page or by giving us a call!

The social media adventure, with Dr. Jeffrey Stein
