Any day is a great day to flash a beautiful smile. You don't have to be a movie star to have your teeth straightened before a special occasion in San Jose, Santa Clara or Saratoga CA. Everyone wants to look good for their prom, senior pictures, graduation, applying for a job or like Kathryn Heigl… getting married.
That's right! Kathryn Heigl never worried about her teeth not being straight until she decided to get married. What was the easiest and least emotionally traumatic solution for someone who is in the spotlight and can't be seen wearing braces… Invisalign! At Dr. Stephen Yao Orthodontics, we offer teens and adults the braceless alternative to having the beautiful smile you always wanted.
If you have been thinking about straightening your teeth, contact our office for a complimentary appointment to find out how easy it is to accomplish this with Invisalign. We see every patient in our office as a celebrity and look forward to discussing orthodontic treatment options with you.

Thumbs Down on Thumb Sucking

Dr. Yao — Sat, 01 May 2010 16:17:56 +0000

Children are born with a natural sucking reflex that often evolves into a comfort behavior. It is not at all unusual for an infant or child to find a thumb or finger to calm themselves when tired or upset as a coping mechanism. Ultrasound scans have revealed that thumb sucking can start before birth, as early as 15 weeks from conception. Even though a sucking reflex disappears at about four months of age, some infants will continue to suck their thumb or fingers as a voluntary habit to soothe themselves. It helps provide a sense of security and relaxes children as they fall asleep. Thumb sucking can be one of the most comforting aspects of childhood.
