How do braces actually work? 🤔✨
It’s not magic; it’s science + teamwork 🦷🧠

From brackets and wires guiding your teeth, to your bone reshaping itself over time, every step is carefully monitored by an orthodontist to move your teeth safely and effectively.

And the secret ingredient? YOU.
Good cleaning habits, regular adjustments, and following instructions make all the difference 💪

Slow, steady, and supported; that’s how great smiles are made 😁

✨ When is the right time to do braces?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommend an early check around age 7 to spot developing issues.
But here’s the good news: it’s never too late! Teens and adults can achieve beautiful, healthy smiles too.
Do note that it is crucial to first ensure your teeth and gums are healthy before starting orthodontic treatment for the best and safest results. Early checks, lifelong confidence. 😁

✨ Thinking of doing orthodontic treatment overseas? ✈️ Before you decide, here’s what to consider:

Orthodontic treatment is a long-term journey, often lasting 1–3 years, with regular reviews and adjustments needed along the way. In Singapore, you can count on the expertise of our specialist orthodontists—dentists who have undergone years of advanced formal training to provide safe, effective, and personalised care. 🦷👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️

With a locally based orthodontist, you get:
✅ Specialist knowledge and experience
✅ Consistent follow-up and monitoring
✅ Peace of mind that your smile is in trusted hands

Your smile deserves specialist care—right here at home. 💙

🎉 Congratulations to our member, Dr Watt Sook May, on receiving the prestigious Athanasios E. Athanasiou Master’s Thesis Award! 🎉

We are proud to share that Dr Watt, a final-year orthodontic resident and AOS member, was named one of the winners of the 2025 Athanasios E. Athanasiou Master’s Thesis Award by the World Federation of Orthodontists (WFO) during the recent American Association of Orthodontists Annual Session held in Philadelphia, USA.

This globally competitive award recognises WFO Fellows who have demonstrated excellence in their Master’s thesis, completed as part of a WFO affiliate-recognised orthodontic specialty program.

Dr Watt’s thesis, titled “Effect of bio-aging on properties of conventional acrylic and 3D printed resins,” explored the impact of various aging mediums on dental resins using Weibull analysis. The work was supervised by Prof Vinicius Rosa and A/Prof Kelvin Foong, with Ng Zicong (BEng, MS) contributing technical expertise in material behaviour and modelling.

We extend our heartiest congratulations to Dr Watt on this outstanding international recognition, and we look forward to her continued contributions to the profession. 👏

Congratulations to our members Dr Chloe Chan and A/Prof Kelvin Foong on their impressive publication in a Q1 journal Computers in Biology and Medicine (IF 7.0), in collaboration with NUS School of Computing. The paper investigates how root length relates to root surface area in permanent maxillary and mandibular teeth, with a goal to understanding how root shortening, such as that caused by external apical root resorption, affects the remaining root surface area.

For dentists, the lesson is that root length loss does not result in an equivalent loss of root surface area. The root’s cross-sectional area, a function of the width of the root, is an important consideration for understanding the impact of the remaining root surface area on the long-term stability of the tooth. Data from this research provide dentists with useful anatomic information to make clinical decisions to care for teeth affected by root length reduction.

For patients, the key takeaway is this: maintaining good gum health is essential. Healthy gums help preserve root support, even if some root length is lost during treatment. This simple, preventative step can make a meaningful difference in long-term tooth stability.

Our heartiest congratulations to the study team on this outstanding achievement!
