Dr. Tadej has also been designated as an Invisalign Elite Preferred Provider. This elite status was awarded based on his success using the Invisalign method to treat patients, and his pursuit of continuing education on the Invisalign System.
The Invisalign system by Align Technology is a revolutionary approach to straightening teeth quickly, comfortably, and virtually invisibly through a series of clear, custom-made aligners. Each set of aligners is made of smooth, comfortable plastic and is worn over the teeth. Changing to new aligners approximately every two weeks throughout the treatment period allows patient's teeth to shift into their proper positions gradually and comfortably. The gradual shift can dramatically reduce the aching and soreness that some patients experience with regular braces.
The Invisalign system is incredibly popular with all age groups due to its capacity to eliminate the aesthetic concerns created by metal braces. Teens, especially, enjoy the Invisalign system because the aligners can be removed for special occasions. This allows the wearer to enjoy food otherwise prohibited with use of conventional metal braces, play sports without the fear of mouth injuries, and maintain high levels of self-confidence when the patient needs to look or speak their best. Treatment time for the Invisalign treatment can vary significantly, depending on each unique patient situation, but generally runs only 9–18 months, start to finish.
Dr. Tadej has been married to his wife, Cindi, since 1989. Their three children have all enjoyed some time in the office – wearing braces, working summers in the office lab and helping with special projects. In his spare time, Dr. Tadej enjoys golf in the California sunshine.
