Ft. Worth, TX Dad Follows Family Tradition of Braces from Apple Orthodontix. Was it Too Late to See His Orthodontist?

FORT WORTH, TX, March 31, 2011 (Press-News.org) What do Katie Budge, Gisele Budge, Remi Budge, Rayo Budge and Nick Budge from Ft. Worth, TX have in common besides their last name?

And what did their dad, Pascal Budge, want that they already had?

The answer to both questions is simple: braces from Apple Orthodontix.

Last fall, Budge, age 49, finally got his wish at Apple's Ft. Worth at Hulen office.

"I watched the smiles of my children improve dramatically," said Budge. "For years, I've heard comments about what lovely smiles they had. I saw them become more confident and self-assured, and decided that I wanted to be part of the group." That's when he visited Apple Orthodontix.

"My teeth weren't actually crooked," he said," but my bite was off, and my teeth didn't fit together well. Not the way they do now. My wife told me I had to wait until the kids were out of braces before I could get mine. Well, I almost made it. My youngest son, Nick, still has his braces on."

"Orthodontic treatment can be successful at virtually any age," says Budge's orthodontist, Dr. Joseph Whitesides, "and adults especially appreciate the benefits of a beautiful smile. One of every five patients in orthodontic treatment is over twenty-one. We routinely treat patients in their 40s, 50s, 60s and even their 70s!"

Budge still has a year to go, but says, "I never thought I was too old for braces. I'm very happy to have them."
