Beverly Hills, CA Orthodontics Office Offers Special Package to Brides

July 30, 2009— LOS ANGELES, SANTA MONICA AND BEVERLY HILLS CALIFORNIA — Dr. Atoosa Nikaeen recently announced a teeth alignment and whitening special geared toward brides at her top Beverly Hills, CA orthodontics practice.

This special bridal program offers power braces or aligner therapy, followed by a complimentary teeth whitening procedure once orthodontic treatment has ended, as a way of helping them look their best for their special day.

“There are brides who never get manicures and pedicures, yet they will get them in preparation for their wedding day,” said Nikaeen . “The beauty of those procedures is temporary, but straight, white teeth can last a lifetime.”

It may seem that orthodontic treatment can’t render the desired results prior to a wedding without having planned ahead for a couple of years, but that isn’t true, said Dr. Nikaeen.

As the name suggests, Powerprox Six Month Braces are one treatment that can be completed in relatively short order.

“Since many brides plan their weddings a year in advance, power braces and some aligner therapies can realistically be worked into the wedding planning details,” she said.

Power braces work quickly because of their specially designed wires that exert a light, continuous force to quickly shift the teeth into their desired position. This technique is not ideal for every orthodontic case, so it is important to have a consultation with an orthodontist to determine if the patient is a good candidate said Beverly Hills braces specialist .

Another option for achieving straight teeth is aligner therapy, such as the Invisalign system. Various aligner therapies use clear plastic aligners to gradually straighten teeth. That means that even if orthodontic treatment isn’t completed in time for the bride’s big day, the clear aligners are practically invisible when worn and can be removed for photos.

A teeth whitening procedure is like icing on a cake- a nice finishing touch once orthodontic treatment is complete, Nikaeen said.
“Once patients have straight teeth, they are anxious to show them off, and a teeth whitening procedure can help someone look their best,” she said.

“It’s a nice touch that we like to offer as a sort of reward for successfully making it through orthodontic treatment.”

NASA, Apollo & 40 years

40 years ago, I was in Florida for the launch of Apollo 11 in 1969. Even though I was a kid, I remember it with great clarity as a most awesome experience. I also remember watching on a black and white tv the images of man's first steps on the Moon. Over the years I have followed many NASA programs. We have done much in 40 years, but I am somewhat disappointed that the country could have done so much more by this time--we simply did not have the will to do so.

If you ever get a chance to see a launch in person, it is an experience you will never forget. I have seen a shuttle launch and several of the Apollo launches. The Apollo was much more graceful off the pad and even louder than the shuttle, making the ground shake and the reverberations drumming on your chest were unbelievable even at over 3 miles away. Let me tell you, people wept with tears of joy, relief, awe and pride.

The Apollo mission was one of exploration and adventure. The Shuttle program, while very useful, was simply transpotation to low earth orbit where some experiments could be conducted and some technologies developed. Will we send men to Mars? Will we fund any further NASA missions other than the occasional unmanned pod? Will we continue to receive the spinnoff benefits of an advanced space program? The shuttle will "retire" in about a year. It will be some time before such a launch will shake the ground again.
