Scher Orthodontics, wishing you a safe and relaxing Memorial Day weekend!

Memorial Day weekend, a time to remember and honor the men and women lost while serving for our country. Memorial Day is also the unofficial start of summer, and for many folks in Westport, getting out of town for three days after being cooped up in the classroom or the office spells sweet, sweet relief.

What about you? What are you up to this Memorial Day weekend? Whether you are headed to a barbecue, a camping trip, or just hitting the great American open roads, we’d like to hear all about it!

Our entire team at Scher Orthodontics wishes you a happy, safe and relaxing Memorial Day weekend!

Ask Dr. Scher: “I’m 46 – am I too old for braces?”

Great question, and absolutely not! At Scher Orthodontics, nobody is “too old” for braces! In fact, we read a fascinating statistic recently: adults getting braces has actually jumped 24 percent since 1996! Also, one of every five patients in orthodontic treatment nowadays is over the age of 21. Of course, braces help make your teeth stay strong, healthy and become perfectly-aligned. But we’d like you to know orthodontic treatment with Dr. Scher can be successful at any age, and adults especially appreciate the benefits of a beautiful smile.

In fact, we are proud to offer an adult-friendly option for straightening teeth called Invisalign, which uses a series of invisible, removable and comfortable aligners that no one can tell you're wearing. So, you can smile more during treatment as well as after. Dr. Scher is a Certified Invisalign Premier Provider.

If you’ve been thinking about getting that perfect smile, we would love to have you visit for a consultation at our Westport, Connecticut office. Please give us a call at 203-227-6061 to set one up and have a wonderful rest of the week!

Ask Dr. Scher: Am I too old for treatment?

Of course you're not. In fact, our staff at Scher Orthodontics recently read a fascinating statistic: the number of adults getting braces has climbed 24 percent since 1996! Yes, braces help make your pearly whites strong, healthy and perfectly-aligned, but perhaps another reason for the spike in adult braces is this: folks want to look and feel great.

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 that promotion, adults are choosing—wisely, we might add—to invest in orthodontics. Orthodontic treatment with Dr. Steven Scher can be successful at any age, and adults especially appreciate the benefits of a beautiful smile.
