Treatment Options
Compare Braces and Invisalign Options
Your bite, the tooth movement required, appearance preferences and ability to follow the treatment routine all influence which option may suit you.
Conventional Metal Braces
Metal braces are a durable fixed option for straightforward alignment and complex bite correction. They remain visible during treatment and are generally the most economical type of braces.
Damon Braces
Damon braces use self-ligating brackets that hold the wire without elastic ties. The brackets come in metal or clear, and Dr Goh will confirm which is suitable after a bite assessment.
Ceramic Braces
Tooth-coloured or clear brackets make ceramic braces less noticeable than metal braces. Careful cleaning and handling help reduce staining and bracket damage.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Invisalign uses a series of removable clear aligners planned from a digital scan. The aligners must be worn for the recommended daily period, and fixed braces may be more suitable for some complex cases.
Finding the Right Fit
Which Orthodontic Treatment Fits Your Needs?
How Discreet Would You Like Treatment to Be?
Metal braces are the most noticeable. Ceramic braces and clear aligners are less visible, but each option has different care and treatment requirements.
Would Fixed or Removable Treatment Suit Your Routine?
Fixed braces keep working without you having to remember to put them in. Invisalign depends on wearing the aligners for the recommended period and removing them only as instructed.
What Type of Tooth Movement Is Required?
Some complex movements and extraction cases can be managed more predictably with fixed braces. Dr Goh will recommend an option after examining your bite.
Concerns We Assess
Braces for Crowding, Spacing and Bite Problems
Crowded or Spaced Teeth
Once the orthodontist has checked the available space and your bite, braces can align overlapping teeth or close gaps between them.
Overbite, Crossbite and Underbite
Dr Goh assesses how the upper and lower teeth meet, then plans tooth movement around the bite, jaw growth and oral health.
Children’s Orthodontics
Monitoring adult teeth and jaw growth helps Dr Goh decide if treatment is needed and, if it is, the right time to start.
Children’s Orthodontics
Find the Right Time to Begin Your Child’s Orthodontic Care
SUPPLY CHILD PHOTO + WRITTEN CONSENT
An early orthodontic assessment checks how your child’s adult teeth and jaws are developing. Dr Goh will look for crowding, protruding teeth, bite problems and misalignment before they become harder to correct.
Based on the assessment, Dr Goh will recommend the appropriate next step for your child. This may include early orthodontic treatment, a suitable appliance or regular monitoring as their teeth and jaws develop.
Underbite Treatment
Underbite Treatment Based on Age and Jaw Growth
An underbite occurs when the lower front teeth sit in front of the upper front teeth. Treatment depends on the cause and may involve braces, elastics or an expansion appliance.
Children and teenagers may have options that use their remaining jaw growth. Some adults with a skeletal underbite need coordinated care between an orthodontist and an oral and maxillofacial surgeon.
What to Expect
What to Expect During Braces or Invisalign Treatment
Consultation
Dr Goh examines your teeth and bite, discusses your concerns and explains the suitable appliance options.
Records and Digital Scan
Photographs, suitable X-rays and an iTero scan provide the records needed for treatment planning. The case is then planned by a registered specialist orthodontist, and you can read the full qualifications of the Brace Yourself dental team.
Fitting
The brackets are fitted or the first aligners are issued. You will also receive cleaning and care instructions.
Review Appointments
Dr Goh checks tooth movement and adjusts the appliance or aligner plan during scheduled visits. Routine dental scaling and polishing is usually advised more often while braces are on, because brackets make some surfaces harder to clean.
Retention
A retainer helps hold the teeth in their corrected positions after active treatment.
After Active Treatment
Retainers After Braces Treatment in Penang
Teeth can shift after braces or clear aligner treatment. A retainer holds them in their corrected positions while the surrounding tissues adapt.
Dr Goh will recommend a removable, fixed or combined retainer based on your treatment. You will receive instructions on how long to wear it, how to clean it and when it may need replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Braces and Invisalign Frequently Asked Questions
Does Getting Braces Hurt?
Fitting braces should not be painful. Pressure and soreness can occur for a few days after fitting or adjustment.
How Long Does Braces Treatment Take?
Treatment length depends on your bite, the movement required, appliance type and how closely you follow the care instructions. Dr Goh will provide an estimated timeline after assessment.
How Do I Choose Between Invisalign and Braces?
Invisalign is removable and less visible. Fixed braces may provide more predictable control for some complex movements. Dr Goh will explain which option suits your bite and routine.
How Much Do Braces Cost in Penang?
The fee depends on the appliance, bite complexity, records, extractions, additional appliances and retainers included in the plan. Brace Yourself provides a written quotation after assessment.
What Are Damon Braces?
Damon braces use self-ligating brackets that hold the wire without elastic ties. Suitability is confirmed after the orthodontist examines your teeth and bite.
Do I Need a Retainer After Braces?
Yes. A retainer helps maintain the corrected tooth positions after active treatment. Dr Goh will provide a personalised wear schedule.
Can Children Receive Braces Treatment?
Yes. An early assessment can monitor adult teeth, jaw growth and bite development before the right treatment timing is decided.
Can Tooth Extraction Be Needed Before Braces?
Some treatment plans include extraction to create space or improve the bite. Dr Goh will explain the reason, and any wisdom tooth removal in Penang that is needed is arranged at the same clinic.
