Braces, are in fact, “cool,” "hip" and—many would even say “fun” these days. These were among the findings of a nationwide survey this year of moms whose children are going through or have had orthodontic treatment. New technologies such as
Invisalign and the
Damon System, advanced computer software, color options, and even popular celebrities—Tom Cruise, Dakota Fanning, Danny Glover, Serena Williams—sporting stylish braces are making orthodontic treatment more comfortable, fashionable and cool for today’s teens.
The study, conducted on behalf of our friends at the
American Association of Orthodontists for February’s National Children’s Dental Health Month,
found 86 percent of moms reporting that braces are cooler today than when they were children. Sixty-nine percent of moms also said wearing braces makes their children feel cool, and
81 percent reported their children’s experience with orthodontic treatment as either positive or extremely positive.
Different color options and the ability to change colors, for example, provide exciting ways for young patients to customize appearances. That enthusiasm helps them to feel good about their orthodontic treatment, and may contribute to the success of treatment.

Most of us take a vacation during the summer, and often forget to pack the most important of things. Sometimes, trips fall apart because they are not properly organized. Let's face it, a trip can turn bad from one minor setback.
