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.
