Terman 100th Parents' fear of prohibitive or unaffordable costs of orthodontics may be speculative at best. Many caring orthodontists are able to keep costs down, allow you to pay over the course of treatment, maintain the highest of quality, and give your family the personal care they deserve. Parents should feel comfortable to ask if the fees are within reasonable customary levels, and what they include. High initial 'payments (in my office, for Nelson Hersh DDS, MS example) have virtually been eliminated. Licensed Specialist While the cost of treating teeth with a full mouth of braces may seem high at first, an examination of the benefits derived from this investment shows to be quite worthwhile. When orthodontic treatment is compared to similarly priced consumer products, its value can be seen in its potential to bring long-lasting improvements to the health and self-esteem of the patient. In fact, orthodontic treatment may be seen as a bargain when one figures in the expertise of the orthodontist, the work of auxiliary personnel, the number of visits required and the good it ultimately does for the patient. What price can we put on good comfortable chewing function, the ability to enjoy eating, an inviting smile and the high self-esteem that comes with it? Everyone wants a beautiful smile and everyone deserves to have a healthy one. The orthodontist's goal is to achieve both for the patient. The importance of an attractive smile should not be underestimated. The satisfaction of seeing a child feel good about themselves is priceless. 1r _i etty Terman, former Detroiter of Pompano Beach, Fla., marked her 100th birthday on Dec. 10 at a party in Florida.
