Las Vegas orthodontics practice urges braces money plan

LAS VEGAS – When a new year begins, many families sit down to go over finances and plan for upcoming expenses to ensure the budget works and needs are met.
Dr. David Alpan, a Las Vegas pediatric orthodontic specialist, says this is an ideal time for families to come in for a consultation to learn more about what options are available for braces, and how financial requirements can best be met.

“A lot people assume they cannot afford braces, or are put off by the seemingly scary concept of how expensive they can be,” Alpan says. “Concerns about how much it will cost are among the most commonly expressed questions we hear when patients come in.

“The reality is that every single person who has had a free orthodontic consultation at our offices has been able to afford to have treatment,” the Las Vegas damon system braces expert says. “And there are no exceptions to that at all.”

Los Angeles Braces Orthodontist Offers New Damon Clear Braces

Los Angeles, CA – Many patients find traditional braces slow and uncomfortable. Regular metal braces need elastics to keep arch wires in place. But the elastics act like bungee cords, causing friction and pressure that slows treatment and makes it less comfortable.

“There is an alternative,” notes Dr. David Alpan, a Los Angeles braces orthodontist. “Damon System self-ligating braces have no elastic ties to hold archwires in place. They are smaller, more comfortable, and use a slide mechanism that allows the archwire to move freely, without friction or tension. This system lets the teeth move into place faster and means the braces require fewer adjustments, shorter dental appointments, and a total treatment time that is roughly six months shorter.” More →
