Orthodontic treatment is always a change for the better, regardless of age. The biological process involved in tooth movement is the same in both adults and children.  The health of your teeth, gums, and supporting bone is the most important factor in determining the  prospects for improving your smile and dental health.


Because adult facial bones are no longer growing, certain corrections can only be treated with a combination of orthodontics and surgery. If your particular situation needs this type of treatment, then Dr. Fadem will be happy to explain the procedures.

A consultation with Dr. Fadem is the best way to find out if you can benefit form orthodontic treatment. After the first examination, he will be able to tell you what the best treatment will involve and a rough estimate of the cost. If you decide to proceed, then we will acquire complete orthodontic diagnostic records, to include special x-rays, photographs and molds of your teeth. After Dr. Fadem carefully evaluates the extent of your condition, a final best course of treatment will be recommended for improving your smile.
