German Dental Clinic — “Quality for your beautiful smile with German precision” (Est. 2009 in Ho Chi Minh City). Medically reviewed by our international dental specialists.

Braces are not just for straightening teeth when smiling.An even bite also helps chew stronger and reduces the force on the gums.Before choosing braces or clear trays, you need to check your teeth and gums to make sure they are clean.At German Dental Clinic, doctors find the right cause and then create a treatment plan for each person.You get a clear explanation before doing it, you don’t have to try the tips yourself on the internet.

Choose tools according to goals, not trends

Strong metal braces, stable force.Ceramic/sapphire braces are more color-tight.Self-ligating braces reduce friction.Invisalign / Spark clear trays are aesthetically pleasing and easy to clean if you wear them enough hours.

Extracting tooth number 4 is not the default rule — only when analysis of the area on the jaw requires it.Before attachment: heightening, cavities treatment, periodontal treatment.After removal: retainer, if removed, teeth will return.

When should you see a doctor

Things to do every day at home

Brush your teeth twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush.Floss once per day.Limit drinking soft drinks, carbonated drinks and sour foods between meals.After eating sour food or drinking soda, rinse your mouth with filtered water and wait about 30 to 60 minutes before brushing.
