Adult orthodontics has become a large segment of our practice. Dr. Hang especially enjoys the challenges of adult orthodontics and the opportunity to work with exceptional dentists and specialists to achieve the best results for his patients. Dr. Hang has taken a phenomenal amount of continuing education outside of orthodontics so that he knows what is possible for his patients and what he can do to assist the general or cosmetic dentist and any other specialists in achieving optimal results. This may include preparing for implants, crowns, veneers, bonding, or repositioning of the jaws.

Before treatment	After treatment

We see many adults who for one reason or another have never had orthodontics and want a better smile. Even for the most crowded situation, we seldom recommend having teeth extracted.

We also see many adults who have had orthodontics before and are unhappy with their result. Many of these cases have had teeth extracted in the past and the profile has a "dished in" appearance. Many have functional concerns like headaches or sleep problems. Opening spaces to have the teeth replaced is often an option which can result not only in an improved profile, but an improved airway and a dramatic decrease in headaches.
