I knew my children were likely to have teeth issues because a large gap between the 2 front teeth runs on my hubby's side of the family, and a small mouth runs on mine. My poor kiddos teeth were looking pretty bad and I didn't even know where to begin! All I knew was that my poor hubby hated growing up with a big gap (he only recently got it fixed, but wished he had done it when he was a kid). So I was recommended this book by a friend and I am so glad that I got it! It helped me with many of the questions and concerns that I had with my kiddos and how and when to get them started on preventative ortho treatment. Fortunately for us, weLive in KCMO and were thrilled to be able to go and meet Dr Burleson personally and become patients at his practice. I highly recommend this book. it will help you to choose what is right for you and your family and ease your worries when it comes to orthodontic treatment for your kids and help you make a good decision when looking for the perfect orthodontist.

As a parent who never had orthodontics as a child or adult, I still had a lot of pre-conceived notions about what it means to see an orthodontist. My oldest son is about to see an orthodontist for his first evaluation and Dr. Burleson's book has answered all of the questions I had and some I had not even thought about. It has also helped me ease my son's fears and concerns about seeing a orthodontist. I highly recommend this book to all parents and children who are currently seeing or may soon be seeing an orthodontist. It is written in a conversational manner and he does an outstanding job of explaining things so that even my 8 year old can understand what he is saying. 5 stars!

I can clearly remember that every visit to the dentist while growing up included the recommendation to my parents that I needed braces. I so wish my parents had this resource to understand how vitally important to a child's confidence and self-esteem straight teeth are. Dr. Burleson clearly and concisely answers all the questions I remember my parents struggling over. Even as an adult, as I contended with the pain of TMJ and chronic headaches, I grappled with the same questions. I wish this resource would have been available for me - I wouldn't have waited so long to get braces. I really think this book should be considered the go-to resource for everything orthodontics.

Dr. Burleson, author of "Stop Hiding Your Smile" is my son's orthodontist and our experience as a family has been very smooth in process. His recent book answers several great questions for parents and patients when it comes to orthodontic treatment. It addresses payment options, what to expect with braces, how long they will require treatment and how to maintain your teeth with them on. The very much informative book even addresses post treatment such as retainers. I highly recommend both the doctor and his book for answers on how to have a beautiful smile.Karie Sparks

Stop Hiding Your Smile! Is a wonderful book for someone starting their journey into braces. I strongly recommend this book to any parent who is about to start looking for an orthodontist. This book is so easy to understand and explains everything you could think of and even things you didn't. Thats why I titled it Road Map to Orthodontics that's exactly what it is. You feel so prepared to make the right decision for your child from before you have an orthodontist to after they are off. There are even parts that I will highlight and reference later. All your questions will be answered.

I personally went to Dr. Burleson years ago and was exceptionally satisfied at his personal and professional demeanor. Since then I've recommended Dr. Burleson to friends considering orthodontics for their children. They've appreciated Questions # 3 (How early in life should my child see the orthodontist?) and # 7 (When is the best time to get braces?) of the book. The book also gives great insight into how to help children become comfortable with orthodontics. A must read for a parent considering this for their children.

If Dr. Burleson's book was available when I was an adolescent, I honestly wouldn't be 30 years old and just now getting braces! I didn't obtain braces while younger simply because my mother had no clue as to which provider she wanted, what braces cost, and only listened to other parent's horror stories. Dr. Burleson answers every single question a parent could pose meanwhile emphasizing the importance of a confident and healthy smile.

This book is one of the best written books by an orthodontist. I've read many others but this one is the best by a long shot. I personally went to Dr. Burleson and everything thing he had in this book, was represented in his practice. It's a great guide to help you understand the importance of orthodontics and how to choose the right one. Don't miss out on an amazing book.!
