Align Your Smile, Improve Your Oral Health
At our clinic, we provide comprehensive orthodontic braces treatment to align and straighten teeth while improving overall bite function and dental health. Braces not only enhance your smile but also correct underlying alignment issues that may affect long-term oral health.
Orthodontic treatment is designed to carefully reposition teeth so they function harmoniously within your bite.
Long-Term Benefits of Braces
Orthodontic treatment provides more than just cosmetic improvement. Long-term benefits include:
Improved confidence and self-esteem
Gum disease prevention
Tooth decay prevention
Reduced risk of tooth damage
Proper alignment also helps reduce strain on the jaw joint and improves chewing efficiency.
Treatment Results
A better bite, a nicer smile, and more confidence — all in one journey.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straightening your teeth with a comfortable and personalised approach
Q1. Do braces hurt?
Braces do not hurt during placement, but you may feel some soreness or pressure for a few days after adjustments.
This is normal and usually goes away as your teeth start to move.
At Gan & Ding Dental Clinic, we aim to make your braces journey as comfortable as possible.
Q2. How long do I need to wear braces?
Treatment time varies depending on your case, but most patients wear braces for about 1.5 to 2 years.
Some simpler cases may be shorter, while more complex cases may take longer.
Q3. How often do I need to visit during braces treatment?
You will usually need to come in every 4 to 6 weeks for adjustments and progress checks.
Regular visits help ensure your treatment is on track and progressing well.
Q4. Can I still eat normally with braces?
You can still enjoy most foods, but it’s best to avoid:
- Very hard foods (e.g. ice, hard candy)
- Sticky foods (e.g. chewing gum, caramel)
We will guide you on how to care for your braces and protect them.
Q5. Are there different types of braces?
Yes, there are several options available, including:
- Conventional metal braces
- Self-ligating braces (a more advanced system with less friction)
- Ceramic (tooth-coloured) braces
- Clear aligners (in selected cases)
We will help you choose the option that best suits your lifestyle and needs.
Q6. Will braces change how I look?
Braces gradually improve your smile and facial balance.
At first, you may need a short time to get used to them, but most patients quickly adapt and feel more confident as their teeth become straighter.
Q7. What happens after braces are removed?
After braces, you will need to wear a retainer to maintain your results.
This is important to keep your teeth in their new, aligned position.
Q8. I’m not sure if I need braces — what should I do?
That’s completely okay.
A simple consultation can help you understand:
- Whether braces are suitable for you
- What kind of results you can expect
At Gan & Ding Dental Clinic, we focus on giving you clear guidance so you can decide comfortably.
