Your First Orthodontic Consultation

We place great importance and emphasis on your first appointment with us. We want to get to know you. Help us to understand your concerns and lifestyle needs so that our Orthodontic Team can make sure our treatment plans target your concerns. It will typically take 60-90 minutes.

MyBracesClinic has a famous 6-step Orthodontic Consultation process:

1. Registration and Medical History taking
2. Taking of detailed digital intra- and extra-oral photos to assess facial structure, symmetry and proportions.
3. 3D intra-oral digital scan using iTero 5D Element with Niri technology for close inspection of teeth and bite relationships.
4. Taking of low-dose digital x-rays to diagnose dental disease, skeletal imbalance and airway problems.
5. Examination, Diagnosis and Treatment Planning with our Orthodontic Team.
6. Financial Counselling of the shortlisted plans and making of follow up appointments

For patients with skeletal jaw imbalance, additional records of growth parameters are sometimes indicated to assess the stage of growth you are in. This is done so that our Drs. can determine when is the ideal time to start treatment.

If you have a skeletal jaw imbalance and our Drs have assessed that you are ready to start treatment, we will guide you through the process of consulting with our Specialist Oral Surgeons, who are based in Novena.

Do note that patients below 21 years old require parental consent at their first consultation before treatment can commence.

If your family or loved ones have questions and concerns regarding your smile and bite, do bring them for your first consultation so that we can help provide answers and clarifications.

If you suspect that you might need or want corrective jaw surgery for suspected jaw imbalances, it is highly recommended to bring your parents or significant other for the consultation as jaw surgery is a BIG decision that needs support from your family, even if you are above 21 years old. 

Please bring along the following, if you have:

1. Referral letter or memo from a referring dentist, oral surgeon, medical doctor or clinician.
2. Dental Xrays or CBCT
3. Intra and extra-oral pictures
4. Dental study models (digital or physical copies)
