Why Now Is the Best Time to Start Orthodontic Treatment

  • News

Timing Matters in Orthodontics

When it comes to straightening teeth, starting treatment at the right time makes a big difference. Whether you’re considering braces or aligners, now is the best time to begin your orthodontic journey. Here’s why.

1. Early Treatment Prevents Bigger Issues

Orthodontic problems such as crowding, bite misalignment, or spacing don’t improve on their own—they often get worse. Beginning treatment now helps:

  • Prevent costly dental complications later

  • Reduce the need for extractions or surgery

  • Guide proper jaw development in younger patients


2. Save Money with Today’s Options

At Carter Orthodontics, we make treatment affordable with:

  • The $79 Membership – save up to $1,000, or up to $3,000 with insurance

  • Cherry Payment Plans – get care now, pay later with 0% APR for 6 months (subject to approval)

Starting now means locking in savings and avoiding higher costs down the road.

3. Shorter Treatment Times

The sooner you start, the sooner you finish! Starting braces or aligners today means you’ll enjoy a straighter smile sooner—often in time for major milestones like graduations, weddings, or family photos.

4. Confidence Boost Right Away

Even while in treatment, many patients feel more confident knowing they’re on the path to their best smile. Aligners are nearly invisible, and modern braces are smaller and more comfortable than ever.

5. Back-to-School and Seasonal Benefits

For kids and teens, starting treatment now aligns with the school calendar—making it easier to track progress during the academic year. For adults, fall and winter often bring flexible scheduling to fit appointments in seamlessly.
