    The Braces Process

    1. Examination

    An orthodontist first examines your teeth and facial profile and discusses which type of braces are suitable for you.

    2. Treatment Plan

    A treatment plan would be developed for you by our dentists. A scan or impressions of your teeth will be taken, and a mockup of the braces will be created.

    3. Placing The Braces

    For braces, the dentist will prime your teeth and attach the metal/ceramic brackets to your tooth before placing the archwire. For invisible braces, you will receive a series of clear aligners along with instructions.

    4. Adjustments

    If you opted for metal or ceramic braces, you will need to visit the dentist monthly for adjustments of your braces. For Invisalign, you will have a bi-weekly review.

    Benefits Of Braces

    1. Healthier Teeth

    You can keep your teeth healthier in the long-run. This is because you can clean them better and maintain hygiene easier.

    2. Better Bite

    You can chew more efficiently when your top and bottom teeth align properly.

    3. Less Ache & Strain

    With a better bite, you can reduce the strain on your supporting bone and tissue. This reduces the likelihood of aches such as headaches.

    Common Questions

    The ideal age is usually 12 to 14 years old, when all the adult teeth have fully erupted. It is recommended for children to have an early examination at age 7 to determine the best time and type of treatment.

    It is also not too late for adults to wear dental braces as long as you do not have dental conditions such as gum diseases.

    At The Dental Studio, we provide packages for students below 16 who require braces. You may call us for more information.

    Discomfort and mild soreness is expected and experienced in the first 4 days to a week after braces are put on.

    This is because your teeth are beginning to re-align and adjust to the pressure from the arch wire and elastic ties. If your pain threshold is low, and your teeth are not extremely crooked, clear removable aligners (invisible braces) could be your best bet.

    Dental disease should be treated before braces are commenced.
