Dr. Paden spent the effort to complete a two-year residency in
the
Nation's #1 Orthodontic Residency, UCSF Medical Center Department of
Growth and Development, after completing dental school. A dentist does
not have to be trained in orthodontics to actually treat patients with
orthodontics, but does that seem like a good idea?
Dr. Paden is a firm believer in modern innovative
orthodontics. By
designing an early treatment appliance using information acquired
through his residency, his father's techniques and association with
senior orthodontists, he has been able to use a combination of
orthopedic and orthodontic techniques in younger patients, as well as
adult patients, with maximum comfort. He is continually researching
state-of-the-art orthodontic advancements, which include considerable
amounts of experience with Invisalign®, ClearCorrect™, Essix aligners
and advanced 3D radiography. It is very important to note that when
providing "Invisalign" or aligner-type treatment, Dr. Paden is your
orthodontist and provides the guidance for Invisalign, not "Invisalign
Assist" where so many dentists (new to orthodontics) use a "technician"
in Costa Rica to design your treatment.
Paden Orthodontics has once again been received a "Best of
Brentwood"
award in 2014 and previously won "Best Orthodontist in the Bay Area" by
Parent Press. There is a lot to learn when you are considering
orthodontic treatment for yourself or your children. Before making a
decision, please call for a consultation. It will not be time wasted, and it is
free!
