Bloomingdale Dentist Offers Adult Orthodontic Treatment

Jan. 24, 2012 - PRLog -- Bloomingdale dentist, Dr. Steven Yuan of Aesthetic Dental LLC, announces that he is offering adult orthodontic treatment. Often, adults believe that if they didn't receive braces as children, it is too late to correct their teeth. This is a misconception, since there are a variety of orthodontic treatment options available to achieve the perfect smile for adults as well. From regular braces to almost completely invisible aligners, adults can easily find a discreet, effective orthodontic treatment that meets their needs.

Besides often making people feel self-conscious about their smiles, misaligned bites can lead to painful dental problems and abnormal facial appearances if left uncorrected. A severe underbite causes the jaw to protrude, while an overbite causes the jaw to recede. These symptoms not only cause one's confidence to suffer; they can also cause jaw pain and tooth grinding. Brushing and flossing improperly aligned teeth may be an additional challenge, increasing the risk of tooth decay and gum disease.

To correct the painful symptoms of a misaligned bite, Dr. Yuan offers braces and Invisalign for adults and children alike. "I want all of my patients to have a healthy, confident smile regardless of age. It's never too late to treat an imperfect smile or an uncomfortable bite," says Dr. Yuan, Bloomingdale dentist.

While some adults may be hesitant to get braces due to youthful memories of heavy headgear, dental technology has evolved significantly. Now, most braces are lightweight and virtually painless. Patients can choose from a multitude of different brace bracket styles, such as clear brackets.

Invisible aligners are also a good option for adult orthodontic treatment. For patients who want a more discreet solution, Dr. Yuan offers Invisalign. During Invisalign treatment, a clear aligner tray is custom-designed to fit over your teeth. As your teeth straightening progresses, you will receive new aligners to fit over your shifting teeth. There is no need to avoid certain foods with Invisalign, as you can easily remove your aligner to eat or brush your teeth.

Patients who are interested in receiving adult orthodontic treatment can call Aesthetic Dental LLC at (630) 893-1300.
