TLDR
Braces in Singapore come in four types: metal, ceramic, lingual, and clear aligners such as Invisalign. Metal braces are the most affordable at $3,500–$6,500; Invisalign at Dentalis starts from $2,800 for minor cases. The right option depends on your budget, lifestyle, and clinical complexity — a 3D scan and assessment is the most reliable way to determine what your case actually requires.

How Do Teeth Braces Work?
Braces treatments gently move your teeth into better alignment, correcting crooked teeth, spacing issues, and bite problems while improving your overall oral health. Thanks to modern materials and digital technology, braces today are far more comfortable and lifestyle-friendly than they used to be.
For a comprehensive overview on orthodontics in Singapore, the National Dental Centre Singapore provides a useful reference on braces and alignment options.
Types of Teeth Braces in Singapore
1. Metal Braces
Reliable & Affordable
Most common and effective for complex dental cases. Visible but durable and efficient.
$3,500 – $6,500
Best for: Students or adults on a budget who want proven results
2. Ceramic Braces
Subtle & Stylish
Tooth-coloured brackets blend with your teeth. Discreet and ideal for working adults.
$5,000 – $8,000
Best for: Professionals who prefer a natural-looking smile during treatment
3. Lingual Braces
Hidden Behind the Teeth
Placed behind your teeth — invisible from the front. Higher cost, longer adjustment period.
$8,000 – $12,000

Before you decide, confirm what's included in your quote — consultations, X-rays, retainers, extractions, and follow-up visits vary by clinic. Some lower-cost offers exclude these.
Invisalign vs Traditional Braces
Invisalign
- Nearly invisible — clear aligners
- Removable for meals and cleaning
- Smooth — no brackets or wires
- Easy oral hygiene
- Requires 22-hour daily wear discipline
Traditional Braces
- Fixed — always working
- Brackets and wires visible
- No removal needed — no compliance risk
- More cleaning effort required
- Food restrictions apply
Verdict: Choose Invisalign for comfort, flexibility, and aesthetics. Choose traditional braces for lower cost or when complex correction requires fixed mechanics. A clinical assessment determines what your case actually requires.
How to Choose the Right Braces
- Budget: Metal braces are most affordable; Invisalign is higher-end but offers lifestyle freedom
- Aesthetics: Ceramic braces and Invisalign are best for discretion
- Lifestyle: Invisalign fits active, travel-heavy, or professional routines well
- Discipline: Clear aligners require consistent daily wear — 22 hours minimum
- Complexity: Severe cases may still require fixed braces for predictable results
Ask your dentist for a 3D smile scan to visualise results before committing to a treatment plan. At Dentalis, we use the iTero® Lumina Pro scanner to create a precise digital blueprint before any aligner is made.

FAQ
Most patients pay between $3,500 and $8,000 for fixed braces depending on type and complexity. Invisalign at Dentalis starts from $2,800 for minor cases and ranges up to $8,500+ for comprehensive treatment.
Generally, no. Orthodontic treatment is considered elective and is not MediSave-claimable. Certain procedures may be partially subsidised under CHAS for eligible cardholders. Some corporate dental benefit plans cover orthodontic treatment — worth checking your policy.
Most treatments take 12 to 24 months, depending on case complexity and compliance. Minor Invisalign cases can complete in 3–6 months. Complex bite corrections may take 24 months or more.
Mild soreness is normal for a few days after fittings or tray changes, as teeth begin to move. For Invisalign, most patients find the discomfort manageable and describe it as pressure rather than pain. It eases quickly.
