December 23, 2007 –LOS ANGELES AND SANTA MONICA, CALIFORNIA – A technology that has been around more than 35 years remains a viable option for people of any age who want the benefits of aligned teeth without the appearance of braces.

Lingual braces-braces affixed behind the teeth instead of on the front- can be used on patients of any age, but have become increasingly popular among adult patients as more adults have sought orthodontic treatment, said Dr. Atoosa Nikaeen, a Beverly Hills orthodontist.

December 19, 2007 –LOS ANGELES AND SANTA MONICA, CALIFORNIA – As the technology improves orthodontics, more adults are turning to it to improve their smiles through the use of smaller, subtler appliances and quicker treatment times. Beverly Hills Orthodontist and Invisalign specialist Dr. Atoosa Nikaeen sees the trend first-hand, as nearly half of her patients today are adults. “There are many other treatment options that aren’t as noticeable as the traditional metal ‘train track’ braces,” Nikaeen said.
