Thanks to advances in orthodontic technologies, the chunky metal braces of the past have since made way for a wide array of cutting-edge, yet inconspicuous and comfortable, devices. These include clear braces and aligners, lingual braces placed inside the teeth, and other spiffy appliances.

Contrary to misconception, orthodontic treatments are just as beneficial to adults as they are to children. Of course, teeth straightening procedures have the potential to deliver speedy results if the intervention occurs at a young age. Dental experts typically advise parents to get their children examined by an orthodontic specialist at between 7 – 10 years. Any misaligned or crooked teeth can be speedily corrected through the use of braces or other devices.

But teenagers and adults are a rapidly growing customer base as well. Advances in technology have made it possible for adults of all ages to realise the benefits of orthodontic treatment. Executives and professionals can choose from a wide menu of orthodontic options to suit their lifestyles.

“Beyond the obvious physical changes of an improved bite or straighter teeth, orthodontic treatments offered by Wassan Specialty also help enhance self-esteem and self-confidence, which are important attributes at any age. Many youngsters and adult professionals are also discovering the benefits of these treatments to their social and career success,” said Dr Siju George, specialist orthodontist, Wassan Specialty Dental Center.
