ADULT ESTHETIC TREATMENTS |

With a business magazine like Forbes featuring a cover on "The Economics of a Pretty Face", it is impossible to overestimate the value that an attractive smile offers in both social and business settings. Recapturing an attractive smile or producing a better smile than an adult has ever had is becoming an increasingly larger share of what we do. With strides made in restorative dentistry using more natural-looking and longer-lasting veneers, implants, crowns, etc., almost everyone can have a smile that makes them look younger and be more confident. |

For the adult with merely crooked teeth, orthodontics alone can provide the path to a great smile, and treatment can often be accomplished in less than a year. The traditional maxim that adult orthodontics takes longer than adolescent orthodontics is simply not true. For the adult with missing or worn teeth, orthodontics can provide the foundation for restorative dentistry to dramatically improve the smile and function of the teeth. Dr. Hang's continuing education in areas outside orthodontics (like implants, veneers, etc.) facilitates his work with very talented dentists and other specialists to provide the highest level of care needed in the most complex cases. |

We also see many adults whose orthodontic care as adolescents featured removal of bicuspid teeth. They are often unhappy with the "dished in" appearance of their face, thin lips, flattened cheeks, the narrowness and/or darkness of the smile, etc. The wrinkles and deep lines around the mouth are further motivating factors for adults to seek treatment. Adults are thrilled to know that the spaces can be reopened, the teeth replaced, the smile broadened, the face filled out, and the wrinkles lessened with Face Focused Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics®. |
