Achieve a straighter, healthier-looking smile with customised braces treatment tailored to your dental needs. Braces gently move your teeth into better alignment, helping to improve your bite and overall oral function. They can be used to address common concerns such as crooked teeth, crowding, gaps and certain bite issues. Your dentist will assess your teeth and recommend the most suitable type of braces for your treatment goals. With regular adjustments and good oral hygiene, your teeth can gradually move into their desired positions. Start your journey towards a more confident smile with personalised orthodontic care at dePacific Dental Group.

Every treatment plan starts with a full assessment of your bite, not a one-size-fits-all quote.
Dental braces treat a range of bite and alignment problems. Left untreated, several of these can affect more than appearance.
|
Issue |
For Students & Teens |
For Adults |
|
Crowding & overlapping |
Crowded teeth trap plaque and food, raising decay risk early. Treating it while the jaw is still growing is often faster. |
Crowding worsens with age and makes existing fillings, crowns and gum lines harder to protect. |
|
Overbite |
An excessive overbite can wear down front teeth before adulthood. |
Untreated overbites often lead to jaw strain and accelerated tooth wear over the years. |
|
Underbite |
Underbites can affect chewing and speech development during school years. |
Uncorrected underbites put uneven pressure on the jaw joint and back teeth. |
|
Crossbite |
A crossbite can cause asymmetric jaw growth if caught during adolescence. |
Adult crossbites are linked to uneven enamel wear and jaw discomfort. |
|
Open bite |
Open bites can affect how clearly a child pronounces certain sounds. |
Open bites make biting into food difficult and can strain the jaw joint over time. |
|
Spacing & gaps |
Gaps between growing teeth are common but can widen without guidance. |
Gaps expose more gum surface, raising the risk of gum recession. |
|
Protruding teeth |
Protruding front teeth are more likely to be injured during sports or falls. |
Protrusion can strain the lips and jaw muscles and affect bite comfort. |
Braces in Singapore are priced by type, case complexity and treatment duration. The table below covers what dePacific currently offers.
Metal and ceramic braces remain the most common fixed option, using brackets and wire to move teeth gradually. Ceramic brackets are tooth-coloured and less visible than metal, though the mechanics behind both are the same.
Clear aligners and Invisalign use a series of custom, removable trays instead of fixed brackets. They suit patients with mild to moderate misalignment who prefer a less visible option, as long as they wear the aligners as advised.

Initial consultation & imaging.
Step 1Digital X-rays assess your oral health and flag any decay or extractions needed before placing braces.
Visual mapping & records.
Step 2We take photographs of your teeth, bite and facial profile to plan treatment.
Teeth cleaning & preparation.
Step 3We clean your teeth so the brackets bond properly, with no debris trapped underneath.
Bracket bonding.
Step 4We apply a bonding agent and fix brackets to each tooth.
Archwire & elastic placement.
Step 5Your dentist threads a wire through the brackets and secures it with elastics, which they adjust and tighten at each monthly review.
Debonding & retainer fitting.
Step 6Once treatment is complete, your dentist removes the brackets and fits you with a retainer to hold your new alignment in place.
Braces sit outside both Medisave and CHAS: Medisave applies only when treatment involves jaw surgery or an approved medical condition, and CHAS doesn't cover braces or other cosmetic dental procedures, though you can still use it for treatments like scaling and polishing or fillings at dePacific.
dePacific also offers instalment plans on braces treatment; speak to our clinic team to find out what's available for your budget.

Braces treatment is available at all 4 dePacific clinics.
You may need braces if you have crowding, gaps, a misaligned bite or jaw discomfort linked to how your teeth meet. A dentist at dePacific can confirm whether treatment is necessary during a consultation and X-ray review.
Braces can be started at different ages depending on your dental development and orthodontic needs. An assessment helps determine the right time to begin.
Most patients need braces for 18 to 24 months, with reviews every 1 to 2 months so your dentist can adjust the wire and track progress. More complex cases may take longer.
You will need to avoid hard, sticky or very chewy foods that can damage brackets and take extra care brushing and flossing around the wire. Most patients adjust to eating and speaking normally within the first few weeks.
Braces can cause temporary discomfort, minor irritation to the cheeks and lips, and require consistent oral hygiene to avoid staining or decay around the brackets. Results also depend on wearing any prescribed retainer afterwards.
No. CHAS subsidies do not cover braces or other cosmetic dental procedures. To find out which dental treatments CHAS does support, read more here.
Brush after every meal, floss carefully around the wire with a floss threader or interdental brush, and avoid hard or sticky foods. After debonding, wear your retainer as instructed to keep your teeth from shifting back.
