Which orthodontic option fits your needs?

Instead of asking which type of braces is “best”, consider the practical differences:

Visibility
Metal braces are visible. Ceramic braces are less noticeable. Lingual braces sit behind the teeth. Clear aligners are transparent but not invisible.

Fixed or removable
Metal, ceramic, self-ligating and lingual braces remain fixed to the teeth. Clear aligners can be removed for meals and cleaning.

Daily care
Every option requires careful oral hygiene. Fixed braces need cleaning around brackets and wires, while aligners must be cleaned and worn consistently.

Comfort and speech
Temporary soreness can occur with any orthodontic appliance. Lingual braces may take longer for your tongue and speech to adjust.

Treatment needs
Not every appliance can manage every tooth movement or bite problem predictably.

A dental assessment can help determine which option best suits your teeth, bite, oral health, and lifestyle.

Braces are not only about appearance.

Orthodontic treatment gradually moves teeth and can improve how your upper and lower teeth meet.

Braces may be considered for:

✓ Crowded or crooked teeth
✓ Gaps between teeth
✓ Protruding teeth
✓ Deep bites and open bites
✓ Underbites and crossbites
✓ Selected impacted teeth

Options include traditional metal braces, ceramic braces, self-ligating braces, lingual braces and removable clear aligners.

The appropriate option depends on your teeth, bite, jaw position, oral health and the movements required. Before treatment, your dentist will assess these factors and explain the available appliances, expected duration, possible risks, fees and need for retainers.

Not every wisdom tooth needs removal.

Healthy, correctly positioned wisdom teeth that are easy to clean can often be monitored during regular dental examinations. Removal may be considered when a tooth is impacted, partly erupted, infected, decayed or damaging the neighbouring molar.

Signs that need a dental assessment include:

• Pain or pressure at the back of the mouth
• Recurrent swelling around the gum
• Food repeatedly becoming trapped
• An unpleasant taste or pus
• Difficulty opening your mouth

An examination and X-ray help your dentist determine whether monitoring, a simple extraction or wisdom tooth surgery is appropriate. Seek prompt care if you develop facial swelling, fever or difficulty swallowing.

Scale and polish or deep cleaning? They are not the same treatment.

A routine teeth cleaning, or scale and polish, removes plaque, tartar, and surface stains from the teeth, mainly above the gum line. It may be suitable when your gums are healthy, or inflammation is still in the early stages.

Deep cleaning, also called scaling and root planing, cleans beneath the gum line and along the tooth roots. Your dentist may recommend it when periodontitis has created deeper gum pockets where bacteria and tartar collect. Depending on the areas treated, you may need local anaesthesia and multiple appointments.

Our dentist at TEETH @ Tiong Bahru can assess your gums, measure pocket depths, and take X-rays when indicated to determine the appropriate type of cleaning.

09/09/2026

A small cavity, chip or worn area can affect how a tooth looks and functions. A composite filling uses tooth-coloured resin to repair the damaged area while blending with the surrounding enamel.

During the procedure, your dentist removes any decay, prepares the tooth and places the composite material in layers. The dentist then shapes and polishes the filling to support a comfortable bite.

A dental assessment is needed to determine whether a composite filling is suitable, as extensively damaged teeth may require another type of restoration.

Is the gum around one tooth swollen or tender?

Localised gum swelling may be caused by trapped food, plaque buildup, gum disease, a dental abscess, a damaged tooth, or inflammation around a partially erupted wisdom tooth.

Continue brushing gently and cleaning between your teeth. A warm saltwater rinse may provide temporary comfort, but it will not treat an infection.

Arrange a dental assessment if the swelling:

• Lasts more than a few days
• Becomes painful or keeps returning
• Produces pus or a bad taste
• Causes pain when chewing
• Develops around a loose tooth

Seek urgent care if swelling spreads into your face or neck, or if you develop a fever or difficulty opening your mouth, swallowing or breathing.

Pain or swelling around a partly erupted wisdom tooth may be a sign of pericoronitis.

Pericoronitis develops when food, plaque and bacteria collect beneath the gum covering part of the tooth. Symptoms may include tender or swollen gums, pain when chewing, an unpleasant taste, bad breath, pus or difficulty opening the mouth.

Gentle cleaning and warm saltwater rinses may temporarily ease mild irritation. However, recurring symptoms or signs of infection require a dental assessment. Care may involve cleaning and irrigating the area, pain management, an antibacterial mouthwash or antibiotics when there are signs of spreading infection. Recurrent cases may require wisdom tooth removal.

Do old silver fillings always need to be replaced?

Amalgam fillings are strong metal restorations that can remain functional for many years. If an amalgam filling is intact, comfortable and free from decay, removing it as a precaution is not usually necessary.

A dental review may be appropriate if the filling becomes cracked, loose or painful, or if you notice sensitivity, food trapping or a sharp edge. Replacement also may be considered when decay develops around the filling or the surrounding tooth becomes weakened.

If removal is needed, our dentists at TEETH @ Tiong Bahru will assess how much healthy tooth remains before recommending a composite filling, ceramic inlay or onlay, crown or another suitable restoration.

Are your gums red, puffy, tender or bleeding when you brush?

Swollen gums are often caused by plaque build-up and gingivitis, but they may also result from trapped food, gum disease, a dental abscess, hormonal changes, certain medicines, or irritation from a dental appliance.

Gentle brushing, cleaning between the teeth, and a warm saltwater rinse may ease mild irritation. However, swelling that persists, returns or affects one tooth should be assessed by a dentist. Seek prompt care if you also have pus, fever, facial swelling, severe pain or a loose tooth.

Do your gums bleed when you brush, or have you noticed persistent bad breath or gum recession?

These may be signs of gum disease below the gum line. Scaling and root planing is a non-surgical deep-cleaning procedure used when plaque and hardened tartar collect inside periodontal pockets.

Scaling removes deposits from the teeth and below the gums. Root planing smooths the tooth-root surfaces, helping the gums heal and settle more closely around the teeth. A local anaesthetic may be used to keep the area comfortable.

If you have bleeding or swollen gums, loose teeth or gum recession, a dental assessment at TEETH @ Tiong Bahru can determine whether routine scaling or deeper periodontal cleaning may be appropriate.
