Fixed Braces

Fixed braces are a time-tested and highly reliable method for correcting even the most complex orthodontic issues. Using precision-engineered metal brackets and wires, they gradually move your teeth into ideal alignment. Benefits of Fixed Braces:

Effective for simple to complex cases

Precise control over tooth movement

Long-lasting and durable results

Suitable for both teens and adults

At SW Orthodontics, we use the latest materials to make braces smaller, smoother, and more comfortable — delivering consistent results and healthy smiles.

Clear Braces

If you’re after a more discreet alternative, clear braces provide the same reliable results with a subtle, natural appearance. Made from clear or tooth-coloured materials, they’re ideal for adults or anyone wanting less visible orthodontic care. Benefits of Clear Braces:

Blend naturally with your teeth

Comfortable and low-profile design

Suitable for moderate to complex cases

Excellent for adults and professionals

SureSmile Diagnostics

SureSmile technology takes orthodontic precision to the next level. Through 3D imaging, digital scanning, and computer-guided planning, we can design your treatment with remarkable accuracy. This technology allows Dr. Sam Wong to visualise every movement before treatment begins — ensuring faster, more predictable results. The advantages of SureSmile include:

Enhanced precision and control

3D visualisation of your treatment path

Shorter treatment times in many cases

Greater comfort and accuracy throughout your journey

FAQ

  • How long do I need to wear braces?

    Treatment time varies depending on your individual case, but most people wear braces for 12 to 24 months. SureSmile planning often helps streamline this process.

  • Do braces hurt?

    You may feel slight pressure or discomfort after your braces are fitted or adjusted, but this usually subsides within a few days.

  • Are clear braces as effective as metal ones?

    Yes. Clear braces deliver the same powerful results as traditional braces — just with a more discreet appearance.

  • Can adults get braces too?

    Definitely! Many adults choose braces to enhance their smile or correct long-standing bite issues. Clear or ceramic options are especially popular for adults.

  • What happens after my braces come off?

    Once your braces are removed, you’ll wear retainers to help maintain your new alignment and keep your smile looking perfect.
