It’s Never Too Late To Start Adult Orthodontic Treatment


Dr. Gerald Tadej and his team at Tadej Orthodontics would like to remind people that it's never too late to start orthodontic treatment. Our office located in Bakersfield, California, provides treatment for patients of all ages living in Bakersfield as well as to those from Tehachapi, Delano, Taft, Shafter and the surrounding areas of Kern County.

We receive quite a few new adult patients here at Tadej Orthodontics who are parents of our younger patients. These adults recognize the many benefits offered by wearing braces and therefore decide to improve their own smiles. Adult orthodontic treatment can drastically improve your appearance and raise your self-esteem, which can make an impact on you socially as well as professionally. You also can improve the overall health of your teeth and gums. Having crooked teeth, a bad bite, tooth decay, abnormal wear of the tooth enamel and surfaces can all negatively impact your oral health so it can be advantageous indeed to obtain adult orthodontic treatment.

The great news for adult patients is the fact that Tadej Orthodontics offers both Innovation-C clear braces and Invisalign clear removable aligners, which are two low-profile orthodontic treatment options many adult patients prefer. This is because many adults do not wish to wear conspicuous metal braces but would rather have their teeth discreetly straightened using these alternative treatment methods.

About Innovation-C

With Innovation-C, there are no metal ties or elastics used. Instead a clear, invisible bracket is used. These braces are attractive and smaller than conventional braces, plus they offer better hygiene. When you wear Innovation-C braces there is less pressure put on the teeth which results in a higher level of comfort over conventional braces plus treatment time is shortened.

About Invisalign

The Invisalign system consists of a series of clear aligners, which are designed to move your teeth gradually in small steps to the desired final positions. Each aligner is worn for about two weeks and can be taken out so that you can eat, brush and floss. Considering the fact that Invisalign aligners are translucent, no one will have to know that you are having your teeth straightened unless you wish to tell them.

Why Adults Are Choosing To Have Their Teeth Straightened

It is never too late to perfect your smile – just ask the increasing number of adults who are now orthodontic patients. Today, adults make up nearly half of all orthodontic patients who are finally getting the perfect smiles they have always dreamed of. The days of being a “metal mouth” are over as more lightweight, and cosmetically friendly options like Innovation-C and Invisalign are available.

Why do so many adults today choose to improve their smiles through orthodontic treatment? The reasons are many. Some adults whom could not afford braces when they were younger can afford them now. Many adults simply want a great smile, as they know it can improve both their personal and professional lives. Most will be quick to say that the temporary inconvenience and expense is well worth it as they have seen their children go through the process of having their teeth straightened and they want the same thing for themselves.

Whatever your motivation for braces may be, having your teeth straightened can change your life. Life is too short not to be able to walk into a room and have a beautiful, healthy, happy smile that makes you feel good about yourself.

If you are unhappy with your smile and are thinking of having your teeth straightened, now is a great time to obtain orthodontic treatment. If you would like to schedule an appointment with us to see if you can benefit from orthodontic treatment, give our office a call. After your initial phone call, we will send you a “new patient welcome packet”. It will contain a letter about Dr. Tadej and our office, a health history form, a patient information form and a map with directions to our office.
