DENTAL CLINIC FOR BRACES

BEAUTIFUL SMILES STARTS HERE

When a smile is everyone’s greatest asset, overcrowding or wide spaces in between teeth can sometimes take that away. Moreover, it causes difficulty when brushing which can lead to swollen, bleeding gums and even decay.

Fortunately, Family Dental Centre offers an array or orthodontic solutions to help close gaps, align crooked and correct crowding. Our dental clinics located all across Singapore provide clear aligner, metal and ceramic braces treatments catered to your unique condition. We correct your teeth and bring out your megawatt smile with your choice of metal or ceramic braces, as well as Invisalign®, a system that uses virtually “invisible”clear aligners. Whether you’re a student in Singapore or a working professional, our braces treatments are affordable, efficient and customisable – and will make you beam.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT POST TREATMENT

How long must I wear braces?

Usually a period of 1-2.5 years, but may vary by case. It is essential that appointments are always kept. Retainers are fitted to hold teeth in their new positions after the brace is removed, and if these are not worn, your teeth may slip back.

Is receiving orthodontic treatment painful?

Your teeth may be a little tender for the first few days, but this will soon disappear as you grow accustomed to your braces. Taking a mild painkiller may help.

How should I care for my braces / teeth?

Use a small head orthodontic toothbrush to brush your teeth thoroughly, and use mouthwash at night. It is vital to maintain good oral hygiene as teeth may discolour or decay and gum disease may develop. Regular 6 monthly cleaning is required during treatment.

What food or drinks should I avoid?

Avoid chewy or hard food — like chewing gum, apples, carrots or crusty bread — as these may break and bend the wires, and also result in the dislodging of the brackets. Sweets, mints and sugary or fizzy drinks may also dissolve the enamel.

What do I do if my braces or wires break or brackets become dislodged?

If something becomes loose or broken, please call the clinic immediately for an appointment. Do not wait until your next appointment. Broken wire or braces can cause teeth to move in the wrong direction and unnecessarily prolong treatment time.
