OVERVIEW
More Than Just a “Metallic Smile”
It’s widely believed that orthodontic treatment means a “metallic smile” for years. This has discouraged many patients from wearing braces.
To your surprise, it turns out there are much more available options other than traditional metal braces.
At Worldwide Hospital, we never cease to update the latest methods to enhance aesthetics and convenience during orthodontic treatment, and to reduce treatment time.
TREATMENT OPTIONS
Orthodontic Options at Worldwide
Besides conventional braces, we also provide a variety of modern options:
Ceramic Braces
Similar to tooth-colored, they are less visible. People probably won’t even notice you’re wearing them.
Lingual Braces
Metal like conventional braces, but hidden behind your teeth. Perfect if you don’t want anyone to see them.
Invisalign
Clear plastic trays will straighten your teeth with almost no discomfort. It’s almost impossible to detect.
Self-Ligating
Smaller, more comfortable, shortens treatment time, and requires fewer clinic visits.
Advanced Technology for Treatment
We apply the most advanced technology to improve accuracy and productivity for treatment planning.
i-CAT CBCT
Provides accurate 3D images to properly diagnose the condition of teeth and gums and identify any anomalies.
Cephalometric / Panoramic
A 2D X-ray capturing the entire mouth in a single image (teeth, jaws, surrounding structures) to develop an accurate plan.
3Shape TRIOS 4 Scanner
Taking impressions is more comfortable than silicone. Data digitalization increases accuracy and supports Invisalign treatment.
Why Do You Need Treatment?
Orthodontics deals with the improper positioning of teeth to improve their function and bring you a confident smile. Common issues include:
Risks of Leaving it Untreated
Besides aesthetic reasons, improperly positioned teeth should also be treated for health reasons. If left untreated, this could cause many problems in the future, such as:
- Tooth decay
- TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) problems due to incorrect bite
- Other problems associated with improper tooth positioning and occlusion
When Can You Have Orthodontic Treatment?
It is medically proven that there is no age limit to getting braces. As long as you have a healthy bone structure and healthy periodontal tissues, you can undergo orthodontic treatment.
However, the ideal time to start is between 12-16 years old. Starting during this adolescent growth spurt helps reduce treatment duration, take advantage of growth, and achieve optimal results.
Note: For older adults, it is recommended that highly skilled and qualified specialists perform the treatment to ensure safety and effectiveness.
