What are Dental Braces?
Dental braces, also known as orthodontic braces, are orthodontic appliances used to straighten and align teeth, correct bite issues and improve overall dental health. They are commonly recommended for individuals with crooked teeth, misaligned bites or crowded teeth. Braces work by applying gentle pressure to the teeth over time, gradually moving them into the desired position.
Each type of braces offers unique advantages and may be recommended based on individual preferences, treatment goals and orthodontic needs.
Additionally, patients may experience some discomfort or soreness initially after getting braces, but this typically subsides as the teeth adjust to the braces. Overall, dental braces can effectively straighten teeth, improve oral health and enhance confidence in one's smile.
Benefits of Straight Teeth

Appearances Matter
Straight teeth not only contribute to a beautiful smile but also enhance overall facial appearance.
Orthodontic braces, whether traditional metal braces, ceramic braces or invisible aligners like Invisalign, can effectively correct crooked or misaligned teeth, giving you the confidence to smile freely, hence positively impacting your self-esteem.

Easier Cleaning,
Less Bacteria
Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean and maintain, leading to good oral hygiene.
With straight teeth, brushing and flossing become more effective as there are fewer hard-to-reach areas where plaque and bacteria can accumulate. This reduces the risk of tooth decay, gum disease and other dental issues, ultimately promoting long-term oral health.

Improve Your
Facial Structure
Orthodontic treatment not only aligns your teeth but can also improve your facial structure.
Misaligned teeth or jaw discrepancies can affect the harmony of your facial features, leading to issues like asymmetry or an uneven profile. By correcting these issues with braces or aligners, orthodontic treatment can enhance your facial symmetry and overall aesthetics.

Orthodontics
And Sleep Apnea
Straightening your teeth with orthodontic treatment can also have a positive impact on your overall health, particularly for patients with sleep apnea.
Misaligned teeth or jaw problems can contribute to breathing difficulties during sleep. By correcting these issues with braces or orthodontic appliances, airflow can improve, reducing the severity of sleep apnea symptoms and promoting sleep quality.

Is It Necessary to Extract Teeth for Braces Treatment?
“I heard that it is necessary to extract teeth for braces. ” “Can I straighten my teeth without extraction?” “Do I always need to pull out teeth for braces?”
NO. It is not always necessary to extract your teeth for braces. In 9 out of 10 cases, we straighten teeth without extraction. In some cases, extracting teeth for braces could result in an undesirable change in your face shape and facial profile.
Before determining if tooth extraction is necessary, a thorough assessment of your orthodontic needs is done.
One of the primary reasons for tooth extraction in braces treatment is to address crowding or severe misalignment of the teeth. When there isn't enough space in the jaw for all the teeth to properly align, extracting one or more teeth can create the necessary space to straighten the remaining teeth effectively.

Damon self-ligating braces are an advanced alternative to traditional metal braces. These braces feature specialised brackets that eliminate the need for elastic ties or bands, reducing friction and discomfort.
Damon braces use a sliding mechanism to gradually move teeth into alignment, resulting in faster treatment times and fewer adjustments.
They are available in both metal and ceramic options, offering a discreet and effective orthodontic solution.
Traditional metal braces remain a reliable and effective option for straightening teeth. Made of high-grade stainless steel, metal braces consist of brackets bonded to the front surface of the teeth, connected by archwires and secured with elastic ties.
These braces exert gentle pressure on the teeth to guide them into proper alignment over time. Metal braces are highly versatile and suitable for patients of all ages with various orthodontic needs.

Difference Between Invisalign and Braces
How Will My Face Change With Orthodontics Braces?
Orthodontic treatment with braces is a pivotal step towards achieving a straighter, healthier smile. Whether you opt for traditional metal braces or more discreet options like lingual or ceramic braces, the goal remains the same: to correct misaligned teeth and enhance dental health.
Having braces could affect your face and side profile. Many people are unaware of how much your face can change after braces.
Braces can improve your face shape and side facial profile. Our braces dentist will let you know how your face may change with braces, and discuss with you how you would like to improve your smile with braces. We can guide you on how to achieve the ideal facial proportions that make up a beautiful smile.
More than Meets the Eye
Many things go into achieving a beautiful smile.
Certain facial proportions appeal to us as being more beautiful. Your braces treatment can also potentially improve your face shape and side profile. At Dental Designs, we identify what makes a smile more beautiful than just straight teeth.
Many factors can subtly enhance your smile. For example, we can improve your smile curve, reduce the dark spaces between your teeth and cheeks, bring in your upper teeth and ensure proper display of your front teeth when you smile or speak, and many more.
Cost of Braces in Singapore
The cost of braces varies based on factors such as the type of braces, the complexity of dental issues, duration of treatment and any supplementary procedures that may be necessary. Our dentist will create a personalised treatment plan for you during your consultation.
At Dental Designs Clinic, we offer fixed metal braces and self-ligating braces. Metal braces consist of wires and brackets made of stainless steel cemented onto the teeth. It requires more frequent visits and the presence of elastics and wires can make it difficult to clean. Self-ligating braces (metal or ceramic) are a more recent update to traditional braces and have a smaller bracket on the tooth, which makes it more comfortable and aesthetically pleasing than metal braces.
We offer installment payment plans to help make it more affordable to our patients. During your consultation, your dentist will assess your specific needs and provide you with a detailed breakdown of the costs involved, enabling you to make an informed decision about your treatment and budget accordingly. Alternatively, your dentist may refer you to a specialist if your dental needs require specialised orthodontic treatment.

This dental clinic has very good staff who are well trained and friendly. The dentists are also very good and will explain the treatment in detail before starting treatment. The equipment is very high tech and I believe they are able to do high quality work as I did my crown here and it looks much better than my colleague who also recently did his at another place. The waiting room is also very comfortable. good job!

This clinic is one of the best I have ever seen. I saw dr Justin for my implant which I did many years ago, the tooth was loose, and other drs told me to remove it as they could not find out what brand it was but dr Justin was able to take 3d xrays and locate the brand and specially ordered the part in. he saved me from having to do a surgery to remove and put a new implant which would have cost me a bomb. the tooth looks even better than the original thanks to the experieced dental technician Katsuya from Japan.
Very happy and will keep coming back for my regular dental.

my workplace is close by and I had a problem with my tooth for a few days, so I made an appointment to come down. The receptionist who booked my appointment was very helpful and friendly to explain the way to the clinic from my office. I saw Dr Nicholas who was able to do a root canal treatment on the same visit so that I didn't need to come back. I felt safe and comfortable to do my dental treatment here as the dental picks are all wrapped up and sterilized and only opened before each treatment when im inside.
