To all dentists who do ortho — what’s the difference between these 2 transpalatal arches? 🤔
🦷 What’s the difference between these 2 transpalatal arches? 🤔 After my previous video, I could tell many of you were curious! 😄
In Part 1 of this series, I’m breaking down how a transpalatal arch made with traditional molar bands is fabricated 🛠️👩🏻⚕️
(And yes… the photo with separators is actually me 🤭 — I know they’re on the lower arch but you get the idea! Fun fact: we placed separators on each other during residency)
Stay tuned for Part 2 — the digital version! 💻✨ If you found this helpful, do give it a like or save — and let me know what else you’d like to see! 💬

Understanding facial growth is a fundamental part of orthodontic treatment planning.
Timing and growth assessment matters.
Growth doesn’t occur in just one direction — in orthodontics, we assess growth in three dimensions. Discrepancies across these planes often coexist and influence treatment decisions.

I was bonding the other day and realized how different my approach is now compared to when I first started placing fixed appliances during residency.
Not that what I do now is perfect — but experience definitely changes the little details of how you work. Always learning… maybe I should revisit this again in a few years and see how it changes. 😄
1️⃣ come romanticise my 10-7 work life with me? 🥹 here’s how dentist life has been recently
2️⃣ some days are mostly ortho while other days are mostly general dentistry 🦷 ooh how I love staring out the windows
3️⃣ sometimes my friends get shocked when they see my huge bag. I can fit groceries inside too 🤣
4️⃣ using a bonded fixed retainer jig with this design! Have always been using other types of jigs but I feel this design holds the wire most securely (wire can’t drop out or spin inside the jig). Fixed retainer 3-3 cemented then the wire between the 3&4 sectioned and jig removed.
5️⃣ orthodontics can be so exciting 🥹🥹
6️⃣ I always thought red would be the braces color for cny, guess not 🧧
7️⃣ lunch is the best time for any kind of videos because the compressors are off
8️⃣ I always get an acai craving when I walk past
9️⃣ been collating all the best food recs around the clinics I work at because sometimes patients ask for food recommendations 😛 have this bad habit of sitting on video footage for months (like my marathon footage) cos I get so distracted doing other things
Bet you didn’t know this… I used to be dental-phobic — even though my dad is a dentist! I’d always ask, “Will this hurt?” before any procedure, and I definitely wasn’t the easiest patient to treat 😂 But those experiences help me empathize with my own patients so much more today 💙 I totally get why some people dread the dentist. We’re here to make your teeth shine ✨, keep them healthy, and disease-free — so please give us a chance! 😄
打赌你们不知道这件事…… 我以前其实很害怕看牙医——即使我爸爸本身就是牙医！ 每次做任何治疗前，我都会问：“会痛吗？” 而且我绝对不是最容易对付的病人 😂 但正因为有这些经历，我现在能更好地理解和同理我的病人 💙 我完全理解为什么有人会害怕看牙医。 我们在这里是为了让你的牙齿闪亮✨，保持健康，远离疾病——所以请给我们一个机会吧！😄
아마 이거 몰랐을 걸요… 저는 예전에는 치과 공포증이 있었어요 — 심지어 아빠가 치과 의사인데도요! 시술 전에 항상 “이거 아플까요?”라고 물어보곤 했고, 정말 쉽게 치료받는 환자는 아니었어요 😂 하지만 그런 경험 덕분에 지금은 제 환자들을 훨씬 더 잘 이해하고 공감할 수 있어요 💙 치과가 두려운 사람들이 있다는 것도 완전히 이해해요. 우리는 여러분의 치아를 반짝이게 ✨ 하고, 건강하게, 질병 없이 지켜주기 위해 여기 있으니 — 제발 한번만 기회를 주세요! 😄
어느 순간부터 K-콘텐츠가 바쁜 일상 속에서 위로가 되더라고요. 뭐랄까… 소소한 행복이라고 할까요? 만약 엄마가 학교에서 제3외국어 배우는 걸 반대하지 않으셨다면 (그때는 학교에서 한국어가 제3외국어 선택지도 아니었거든요) 저는 아마 한국어를 배우지 않았을 거예요. 😅 그리고 지금 이렇게 이 영상을 만들지도 않았겠죠. P.S. 책 사진은 한국어 수업 때 찍은 거고, 엘리베이터에서 찍은 제 사진은 수업 끝나고 찍은 거예요. 😄
안녕하세요! 저는 싱가포르에서 활동하고 있는 치과의사입니다. 제목 그대로, 앞으로 30일 동안 카메라 앞에서 한국어로 말해보려고 합니다. 😊 더 자연스럽게 말하는 방법이나 제가 틀린 부분이 있으면 댓글로 알려주세요! 이번 도전을 통해 한국어 말하기에 대한 자신감을 더 키우고 싶습니다. 아무래도 영어로 된 치과 관련 콘텐츠도 올릴 예정이라, 이 콘텐츠는 조금씩 나눠서 업로드하려고 해요. 그리고 중간중간 연습하면서 더 성장하는 모습을 보여드리고 싶어요. 앞으로 영상에서 제가 한국어를 배우게 된 계기랑 TOPIK 시험 꿀팁들 하나씩 풀어볼게요. 많이 지켜봐 주세요!
Hello! I’m a dentist from Singapore. Through this 30 day challenge I hope to be better at speaking Korean, my third language that I've learnt for more than 15 years.

As the title suggests, I’ll be speaking Korean in front of the camera for the next 30 days. I’ve been learning Korean for over 10 years, but I still sound awkward because I haven’t had many chances to actually speak the language. And I’m also awkward in front of the camera 🥲 hope to improve from this challenge! I’ll also be sharing the story of how I started learning Korean as my third language. I’ll be uploading this gradually and practising more in between!
우리 치과 어시스트분들이 저한테 뭔가 물어보고 싶었대요…. 김고은 님, 비교해서 정말 죄송합니다 😂 our dental nurses wanted to ask me something.... Kim Go Eun, I’m so sorry for the comparison HAHAHA 누가 이렇게 말해준 게 두 번째예요… 들을 때마다 살짝 민망해져요 헤헤 second time someone has said this to me, and each time i feel a little embarrassed haha

As part of my Continuing Professional Education (CPE), I attended a lecture on Aesthetic Management of Enamel Lesions by Prof Dr Falk Schwendicke on 15 January, organised by the Singapore Dental Association (SDA).
