in Petaling Jaya
Braces, self-ligating braces and Invisalign clear aligners for teenagers and adults in SS2, planned from your records with a written timeline and fee before fitting.
Overview
What orthodontic treatment does
Orthodontic treatment moves teeth into a better position using steady, gentle force. Braces use brackets bonded to the teeth and a wire that is adjusted every few weeks. Clear aligners use a series of removable transparent trays changed every one to two weeks. Both correct crowding, gaps, protruding front teeth and bite problems, and both finish with retainers that hold the new position. Treatment is planned from photographs, X-rays and a scan or impression of your teeth, and it is available for teenagers and adults at any age once the gums are healthy.
12 to 24 months
Typical treatment time. Mild cases can finish sooner.
Braces or clear aligners

Conventional Braces
Brackets bonded to the teeth with a wire held by small elastic ties, adjusted every four to eight weeks. Suits the widest range of cases.
Self-Ligating Braces
Brackets with a built-in clip instead of elastic ties, which can mean fewer adjustment visits with a similar overall treatment time.
Invisalign Clear Aligners

Essix Clear Retainers
Removable, transparent retainers that hold your teeth in their new position.

Finishing and retainers

What To Expect
Comfort, timing and daily life
The practical things patients ask about.
Teeth feel tender for three to five days after fitting and after each adjustment. Soft food and ordinary painkillers help.
Brackets can rub the lips and cheeks in the first weeks. Orthodontic wax covers the spot until the mouth adapts.
Aligners must be worn 20 to 22 hours a day and removed for eating and brushing. Speech may feel different for a few days.
Most cases take 12 to 24 months. Hard, sticky and chewy foods are avoided with braces to prevent breakages that add visits.

In Depth
More detail
Open a topic for the full explanation.
Orthodontic treatment is considered for crowded or overlapping teeth, gaps, front teeth that protrude, and bites where the upper and lower teeth do not meet properly (overbite, underbite, crossbite or open bite). Teenagers are usually treated once most of the adult teeth are through. Adults can be treated at any age as long as the gums and bone are healthy. Clear aligners suit mild to moderate cases, while braces handle more complex movements. Any gum disease or decay is treated before the teeth start moving.
- Clean around brackets and wires after every meal with a soft brush, interdental brushes and floss threaders.
- Keep six-monthly scaling and check-ups during treatment. Plaque around brackets causes white marks and decay.
- Wear a mouthguard made to fit over braces for contact sports. Ask us which type suits you.
- Wear retainers as instructed, full time at first and then at night, and bring them to review visits.

FAQ
Common Questions
Everything you need to know about this treatment.
Overall, braces take about 12 to 24 months. Most adult cases take 18 to 24 months. Mild crowding may finish in about 12 months, while complex bite problems can take 24 to 30 months. Adult bone remodels more slowly than a teenager's, so the same movement takes a little longer. Retainers are worn afterwards to hold the result.
Conventional braces hold the wire with small elastic ties. Self-ligating braces use a built-in clip, which can mean fewer adjustment visits, with similar overall treatment time. Invisalign uses a series of removable clear aligners that must be worn 20 to 22 hours a day and suits mild to moderate cases. Your dentist will advise which option can achieve your goals.
Having braces fitted does not involve injections or drilling. The teeth feel tender for three to five days after fitting and after each adjustment, and the brackets can rub the cheeks at first. Soft food, ordinary painkillers if needed and orthodontic wax over any rough spots manage this for most people.
No. Teeth can be moved at any age as long as the gums and bone are healthy. Many adults have braces or aligners. Any gum disease is treated and stabilised first.
Sometimes, when crowding or protrusion is severe and there is no room to align the teeth. The decision is made from your X-rays and models. Alternatives such as arch expansion or small bone screws (TADs) that help move teeth back are considered before extractions are recommended.
Braces are adjusted every four to eight weeks. With clear aligners, visits are every six to ten weeks and you receive several sets of aligners at a time to change at home.
Teeth keep moving throughout life, so some retention is needed long term. Retainers are worn full time for the first months, then at night. Options are a removable clear Essix retainer or a thin wire bonded behind the front teeth.
Usually yes. The plan can close a gap or hold the space for a future implant, and brackets can be bonded to crowns with a special adhesive. This is assessed at the consultation.
