With 15 years of experience and an ongoing commitment to professional development, Dr. Truong Thuy Trang is an experienced specialist in fixed-appliance orthodontics. She has managed a substantial clinical caseload, including many highly challenging cases.
Braces use brackets bonded to the teeth, archwires, and supporting components to deliver controlled orthodontic forces. Treatment can address multiple goals, including dental aesthetics, the bite, oral function, smile and facial aesthetics, oral health, and post-treatment stability.
Brackets, archwires, elastics, and supporting appliances work together to generate and transmit orthodontic forces.
30% mild-to-moderate cases, 45% moderate-to-complex cases, and 25% highly complex cases.
Widely used, suitable for a broad range of indications, clinically reliable, effective, and cost-efficient.
Widely used, suitable for a broad range of indications, clinically stable, and designed to support efficient force delivery and treatment management.
Tooth-coloured material provides a more discreet appearance while remaining suitable for a variety of indications.
Bonded to the inner surfaces of the teeth to conceal the brackets. Less commonly used and suitable for a more limited range of indications.
Tooth extraction and general dental treatment may be completed where required. The orthodontic appliances, brackets, and archwires are then fitted, beginning the sequence of alignment and levelling → space management → bite correction → finishing. The goals are to optimise the bite, function, aesthetics, and treatment efficiency.
The orthodontist monitors progress closely while the patient follows treatment instructions until the orthodontic objectives are achieved. The brackets are then removed, an individual retention plan is developed, and post-treatment stability is monitored.
Assessment of the teeth, bite, and periodontal health; clinical photography, digital scans or impressions, and radiographs where indicated. The orthodontist evaluates space, tooth inclinations, jaw relationships, functional concerns, and biological limitations. Based on the clinical and diagnostic records and consultation with the patient, the orthodontist develops an optimised treatment plan.
Braces may be used across a broad range of dental and bite conditions, including spacing, crooked or crowded teeth, protrusion, underbite, deep bite, open bite, crossbite, and dental midline discrepancies. They can be considered for mild, moderate, and complex cases. In highly complex cases, including some approaching the threshold for orthognathic surgery, fixed appliances allow the orthodontist to design individual biomechanics, manage anchorage, and coordinate supporting appliances to address multiple treatment needs.
“I continue to recommend braces in many cases because of their effectiveness, broad range of indications, and clinical stability, particularly in cases with a high degree of difficulty.”
The orthodontist’s clinical performance is essential, and the patient’s cooperation completes the foundation for success.
Orthodontic treatment is an investment in the future. Make sure the essential choices are right: the right method, timing, doctor, treatment environment, and cost plan.
