 Very informative guide written by specialists, April 18, 2015

This book is absolutely essential to solve any doubts regarding orthodontics. Actually, before scheduling an appointment with the orthodontist, you should read this book.
Of course you could ask a few questions and have some of your doubts clarified during the appointment with the orthodontist, but it won’t be nearly as comprehensive and systematized as this book. Also, if you go to the appointment already knowing your options, it’ll make the decisions regarding the treatment much easier to make.
At first I thought that orthodontics was concerned with esthetics. I had no idea that even slightly misaligned teeth could cause a series of health issues, such as persistent headache, respiratory issues, and even sinusitis. I thought that only extreme cases of misaligned or crowded teeth could seriously interfere with the patient’s health.
Drs. Matthew & Courtney Dunn lists a series of symptoms that parents should pay attention to. The way a children chew and how they are breathing, the position of the chin, etc. Those symptoms might go unnoticed due to disinformation, thus, learning them and paying attention to the kids could make a whole lot of difference in their future. And there’s also the financial aspect: by identifying potential issues earlier, the treatment tends to be shortened, which means less money.
Another thing that I liked to know about was the clear braces option. I had no idea they even existed. I knew braces were smaller and prettier nowadays, but the transparent ones were a surprise to me.
To sum up, I recommend this book to anyone eager to learn more about orthodontics in general, but especially to parents. 5/5 stars!

Getting braces to have straighter teeth is becoming a norm but it is important to know everything about the process. Having the right orthodontic care is essential and you can learn more about that as well as the importance of straight teeth, financing orthodontic treatments, and getting braces in this guide. This is quite an interesting read especially for prospective patients and parents.

Helpful for my daughter, April 05, 2015

This is a wonderful guide for anybody who wants to learn more about the braces experience. My daughter has to get braces soon, and after having braces for four years myself, I didn't have the best experience. I've had some dentists tell her she needs braces, while others tell me to wait and this book gives great advice on that exact scenario. It goes through the signs that you need braces and the age, and it has helped me determine that it's the right time for my daughter to get them. I love that they talk about all the new types of braces as well since they weren't available when I had them.

Exactly what I was looking for!, April 03, 2015

I downloaded this not really sure what to expect at first but I've been needing braces for my niece and I figured knowing about them would be a great place to start before I go spending money on them. I'm really glad that I got this book because it opened my eyes to so much about braces I did not even know about. You learn everything from what to expect at the Orthodontic appointment, the different types of braces which I found really interesting, and even how young is too young to start with braces. Really glad I got this because I would have not known half of these things if it was not for this book. There is a lot of information but it was put together in a way that made it really easy to go through. Grateful I found this.

Excellent guide to braces, March 28, 2015
By TrishFLReader

Our son is nearing the age where we need to start looking at getting braces for his teeth and no one is really excited about this. I don't have fond memories of having braces as a teen, he is pretty frightened about the whole prospect, and the cost is pretty daunting. We thought we would try to get educated before making appointments and found the book "Brace Yourself" to be exactly what we needed. Written by two experienced orthodontists, there is a ton of great information here about the importance of getting good orthodontic work, the different types of braces available and even payment options that are out there. A very well written and highly informative guide that educated us and eased our minds about this entire process.
