Dental Braces

Straighten teeth using fixed braces made from a variety of materials, each with its own benefits. Options include metal braces (durable and cost-effective), ceramic braces (tooth-coloured and less noticeable), self-ligating braces (which require fewer adjustments), and lingual braces (placed behind the teeth for complete discretion). Braces work by applying gentle, continuous pressure to move teeth into their desired position over time, thereby improving both alignment and bite function.

Clear Aligners

Discreetly align your teeth using transparent, removable trays custom-designed for a snug and comfortable fit. Clear aligners, such as Invisalign®, utilise advanced digital planning and medical-grade plastic to gently shift teeth — without the need for wires or brackets. They are nearly invisible, easy to clean, and allow you to eat and brush without restrictions. Invisalign is ideal for teens and adults seeking a modern, flexible alternative to traditional braces, especially for mild to moderate alignment issues.

FAQs

Everything You Need to Know About Us

Taking care of your dental health is essential for your overall well-being. Here, we address common questions about dental care, from preventive tips to advanced treatments, to help you make informed decisions for a healthier, brighter smile.

What is the best age to visit the orthodontist?

The ideal age for orthodontic evaluation is 7 years, as recommended by experts, but most treatments begin between 12 to 14 years, when permanent teeth have come in. If parents notice crooked teeth, bite issues, or jaw misalignment earlier, it’s best to consult even sooner.

What foods should you avoid during orthodontic treatment?

During orthodontic treatment, it is best to eat soft foods and avoid sticky or hard foods to protect your braces.

How long does orthodontic treatment take?

Treatment duration varies depending on the individual case, but most treatments last between 12 to 36 months.

What are metal braces?

Metal braces are traditional braces made of stainless steel or titanium that align teeth.

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a clear, removable alternative to traditional braces, using custom-made aligners to straighten teeth.

What are the key indicators that you might need braces?

Signs include misaligned teeth, difficulty chewing, speech problems, and jaw pain. Another key indicator is TMJ pain that is chronic and lasting over several months to a year or more.

Who is a good candidate for clear aligners like Invisalign?

Clear aligners are most effective for patients with mild to moderate spacing, crowding, or bite issues. They’re ideal for teens and adults committed to wearing them as prescribed. However, severe misalignments, jaw discrepancies, or complex rotations may still require traditional braces for the best results.

Should you consult an orthodontist even if your teeth look straight?

Yes. Jaw growth discrepancies, such as a protruding lower jaw, uneven bite, or facial asymmetry, may not always show up as crooked teeth. An early consultation helps detect these issues and ensures timely intervention — often making future treatments easier and more effective.
