Your teeth are cushioned by the tissue of your gums, also known as your gingiva. Underneath your gums, you have a periodontal membrane, which shields the lower half of your teeth. As your teeth are bone, the two ‘prong-like’ portions of your teeth are fittingly called the alveolar bones.
Braces work by constantly putting pressure on your teeth, slowly encouraging them to move into the correct positions by putting pressure on the periodontal membrane. One side of this membrane will stretch out, allowing the teeth to move. The bars and bands will then push it from the other side — creating enough space for the teeth to safely shift. In fact, it’s the archwire that puts most of the pressure on your teeth, while many of the other parts (like the brackets) work to hold it in place.
Here are some of the most common types of braces for students:
No matter what type of braces you choose, it’s important to follow your dentist’s instructions carefully. This will help to ensure that your treatment is successful.

Braces or orthodontics is the art of repositioning teeth in the mouth. It is mostly used for cosmetic reasons, such as straightening crooked teeth or closing gaps.
The orthodontic treatment usually takes one to two years, depending on the severity of the problem. During this period, patients are required to come for regular check-ups and adjustments to ensure that the desired result is achieved.

Braces require special tooth care
This depends on how the upper and lower teeth bite together, where the location of teeth crowding is, and the positions and directions of the teeth to be moved. Most people need braces in both upper and lower jaws to achieve a good bite and well-aligned teeth.
Doing braces is not very painful but some discomfort should be expected during the initial treatment phase. This is because the gums need to get used to the extra bulk of the brackets on each teeth. There may also be some rubbing and abrasions against the cheek. Subsequently, during the braces adjustment, patients may also experience some tightness but it should not be very painful.
Sticky or hard foods that can cause the bracket to drop off, loosen or break. They may also bend the wires and bands, and place additional stress on the braces.
Generally, it takes about 1.5 to 2.5 years to complete the treatment but it depends on the complexity of the case, the patient’s age and how fast the teeth move.
Invisalign ® is a clear, removable teeth aligner used as an alternative to braces. It is virtually invisible, making it much harder to notice.
Invisalign treatment in Singapore is increasingly common and consists of wearing a transparent tray over your teeth that is nearly invisible, and is easy to put in and take out. There’s no need for metal brackets or wire (Fixed Braces), just one transparent tray to be worn.
After undergoing diagnostics at the clinic, an accurate 3D model of your teeth will be used in creating specially crafted Invisalign trays that will help your teeth shift to a straight and perfect position (straight teeth). During the course of the treatment, new trays will be issued, as your teeth change positions, until your desired smile is achieved.
