Ask Dr. Skibell: “I’m 27 – am I too old for braces?”

Thanks for the question – at the office of Dr. David Skibell, NOBODY is “too old” for braces!

In fact, our staff read a fascinating statistic recently: the number of adults getting braces has actually 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: people 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 and sparkling teeth might be the difference between getting a job or a promotion, adults are choosing—wisely, we might add—to invest in orthodontics. Orthodontic treatment with Dr. Skibell can be successful at any age, and adults especially appreciate the benefits of a beautiful smile.

Contact our office to start your journey to a beautiful, new smile. We look forward to working with you and brightening Houston with your new beautiful smile! Contact our Houston, TX orthodontic office to schedule an appointment.

Play it safe this spring, from Dr. Skibell

Wouldn’t you believe it, it’s already springtime! The spring months, however, bring an increase in outdoor activities and a greater chance of kids damaging their precious mouths and pearly whites. If you play sports, it’s important that you consult Dr. David Skibell for special precautions, such as wearing a mouth guard. A protective mouth guard is advised for playing spring sports such as baseball, soccer, lacrosse and others. Be sure, however, to avoid mouth guards that custom form to your teeth as these will resist any tooth movements we are trying to achieve.

In case of any accident involving the face, check your mouth and the appliances immediately. If teeth are loosened or the appliances damaged, please schedule an appointment with Dr. Skibell. And don’t forget to ask us—Dr. Skibell will provide a mouth guard for any patient in active treatment.

Only by using a mouth guard and other forms of facial protection can kids with and without braces avoid serious sports injuries. Please give us a call if you have any questions about mouth guards or your treatment with Dr. Skibell.

Smile with Invisalign at Dr. Skibell's office!

Located in Houston, Texas, Dr. David Skibell and our talented staff work hard to build beautiful smiles for patients of all ages.

And speaking of smiling, in a new poll conducted by Glamour Magazine, people were asked, “If you had to pick between having perfect teeth, eyesight or hair, which would you choose?

And, wouldn’t you know it, 44 percent of folks out there are choosing teeth! In addition, the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry conducted a study and found that 99.7 percent of those polled believed a smile is an important social asset. Respondents said straightness, whiteness, cleanliness, as well as the sincerity and sparkle of a person’s smile were all important factors not only socially, but career-wise as well.

One way to get that beautiful smile you’ve always wanted is with Invisalign at Dr. Skibell's office. Invisalign is a series of clear, removable aligners that we proudly offer as an alternative to traditional metal braces. Learn more about Invisalign on our website and let us know if you have any questions!

Ask Dr. Skibell: Who benefits from braces?

Braces aren’t just for pre-adolescents and teenagers anymore! Dr. David Skibell will tell you that anyone, at any age, can benefit from orthodontic treatment, whether it’s correcting a problem not treated in your younger years, or catching a problem early.

To ensure the best overall treatment, the American Association of Orthodontists, or AAO, recommends that children receive an orthodontic consultation as early as age seven. If a problem is evident, taking action early at Dr. Skibell's orthodontic office can spare a lot of treatment and expense down the road.

If you never received orthodontic treatment when you were young, don’t worry! You’re never too old for a beautiful smile at Dr. Skibell's office. Set up an appointment for a consultation with Dr. Skibell at our Houston office and find out how orthodontics will transform your smile, as well as your life!
