About The Video
In this video, Dr. Jaclyn, a general dentist at Dental Designs Singapore, discusses why dental braces are necessary and how they work. She explains the main causes of misaligned or crowded teeth, including genetics, jaw size, and early tooth loss. Dr. Jaclyn then breaks down the process of creating space for alignment through extractions, interproximal reduction (IPR), or expansion, showing how braces gradually move teeth into the ideal position.
Dr. Jaclyn also highlights the benefits of dental braces beyond aesthetics. Straighter teeth improve smile symmetry, make oral hygiene easier, and prepare the mouth for future treatments like implants or veneers. She explains how braces, combined with careful planning and sometimes auxiliary tools like rubber bands, can create a healthy, functional, and beautiful smile while minimizing invasive procedures.
Dental braces are an effective solution for correcting crowded, crooked, or misaligned teeth. Dr. Jaclyn explains that braces work by using brackets attached to the teeth and connected by arch wires, which gradually guide teeth into their ideal positions. Creating space is essential for alignment, achieved through extractions, IPR, or expansion and proclination. Proper planning ensures that teeth move safely without compromising the jaw or appearance.
Beyond straightening teeth for a more attractive smile, braces also enhance oral health. Crowded teeth can trap food and make cleaning difficult, increasing the risk of decay and gum disease. Straight teeth allow for better oral hygiene and can optimize the placement of future treatments like implants or veneers. Dr. Jaclyn emphasizes that braces are largely non-invasive and provide long-term benefits for both aesthetics and function.
