Below are the highlighted topics:
Removable appliance is an appliance that is not fixed to teeth but can be removed by the patient. It usually contains spring, screws, clasps and acrylic base plate. This appliance is often used in situation whereby simple teeth movement are needed only and it can allow patients to perform better oral hygiene by removing it. However, this appliance requires compliance from the patient to wear it.
Fixed appliance is probably the most common type of orthodontic appliances in use today. They consist of small brackets that are attached onto the front surface of the teeth and a thin wire which is often held in place by elastic loops.This appliance allows multiple tooth movements simultaneously and more effectively as compared to removable appliance. The treatment usually lasts from 6 months to 30 months depending upon the severity of the problem. It is very important to maintain an excellent oral hygiene and dental health throughout the orthodontic treatment
This procedure is conducted to remove excess gum tissue that may be overgrown on the teeth to provide a better aesthetic result and a better area to clean the teeth.
Several reasons why there is an overgrowth of gum:
All these gum overgrowth can be corrected by reduce the cause factors or gum surgery (gingivectomy)
A young lady complained that she didn’t have great smile. On examination, we found out that she had a very short teeth. Oral hygiene just moderate.
Dental scaling was done to improve oral hygiene
After taken radiograh to determain the bone height and biological width, surgical excision of 2mm of gum tissue above the gingiva margin.
A procedure to correct the gum shape and contour thus improve the smile line. Gingivoplasty surgery is usually done on the upper front teeth (can be up to the premolar region) where the gums here can be seen when smiling.
Most of these gum defects are usually caused by gum diseases (eg. periodontitis). However, in certain cases, the gum recedes due to over brushing or probably just because the gum itself is thin (thin biotype).
In gingivoplasty, a gum graft can be done where the tissue is taken from the roof of the mouth (this is called a graft) and then stitched into place on either side of the tooth that is recessed.
Here, is a case of a young male presented with receded gum due to over brushing…
He didn’t like his teeth and gum for a few aesthetic
reasons:
We found out that he was a right-handed person, using his toothbrush to brush his left teeth too hard!! That causing the gum to shrink upwards.
Secondly, his gums were thin biotype and the previous dentist had over-filled his abrasion cavity with composite preventing the gum from ‘coming down’
Correct his over-brushing technique

Want to make an appointment with Dr. Tham in PRESTIGE SMILE BRIGHT or PRESTIGE DENTAL CARE (using WhatsApp)?
Dr. Tham Ru Yueh received her Bachelor of Dental Surgery(BDS) from International Medical University(IMU) in 2015. She then completed her compulsory government service in Ipoh, Perak.
When she started working in private dental clinics in 2018, she realised that she loved treating children as it makes her feel very fulfilled. She saw that there was so much more that she can do for children other than preventive (polishing, fluoride varnish application, dental education) and restorative work (filling, stainless steel crowns) because more and more children are starting to have crooked teeth at a very young age. This led to her quest in seeking for answers and the beginning of her journey in interceptive orthodontics, where she now provides treatment for children in the mixed dentition stage (children at the age with permanent and baby teeth) to help expand narrow jaws, grow beautiful faces with natural smiles and achieve better airway health.
Apart from her interest in seeing children, Dr Tham is also excellent with orthodontics and esthetic restorations (fillings and veneers). She continues to attend many Continuing Dental Education courses and workshops in order to keep her knowledge up to date because she believes that her patients deserve the best care.

Tooth loss is a serious oral health problem that can have a significant effect on overall quality of life, making it difficult to chew or embarrassing to smile. Dental implants are a solution for people who have lost one or more teeth due to periodontal disease, trauma or injury, or other reasons. Implants are artificial tooth roots that are placed into the jaw bone and are used to support the crowns.
Traditionally, a dentist will create impressions of a patient’s teeth and gums. X-ray will also be done in order to get an image of the mouth structures before placing the dental implants free hand. These technique require the dentist’s experience and expertise. Computer guided implant surgery represents a giant step forward in the replacement of teeth with dental implants.
What is Computer guided dental implant surgery?
Computer-guided implant surgery is a great advance in dental implant treatment planning. A computer program, cone-beam CT 3D X-ray and intraoral scanner will be used for planning an accurate position of dental implants. The computer program will combine x-ray images, intraoral scans and cone-beam 3D CT images and translate into a 3D model of the jaw. The dentist will be able to plan the placement of dental implants and determine their optimum position with a high degree of accuracy. A surgical guide will be fabricated by our in house 3D printer for use during implant surgery for accurate placement according to computer planning.
Benefit of computer guided implant surgery:
Case Example: Patient of ours requesting for dental implant to replace his lower left first molar tooth.
At Prestige Dental, we are fully equipped with Cone Beam 3D CT X ray machine, Intraoral scanner and 3D printer to fabricate the surgical guides
These computers can also be a valuable tool when it comes to our explanation of how exactly your implants will be placed. The patient will be able to look at clear images, as well as ask any questions.
With the help of computer guided surgery, we able to better pinpoint the exact location within your mouth for each implant, considerably simplifying the overall procedure.
