Neo Smiles Dental Studio Marks 10 Years of Orthodontic Care in Singapore


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 8 August 2025 – Neo Smiles Dental Studio marks its 10th anniversary, reflecting on a decade of growth from a one-chair practice in the heartlands to a multi-branch provider of specialist orthodontic care. With clinics operating in Bedok, Serangoon, and Bishan, the practice group continues to serve students, working adults, and families through flexible appointment hours and structured treatment options designed for community accessibility.

From Start-Up to Multi-Branch Practice

Neo Smiles began as a solo practice focused on delivering affordable orthodontic care to residents in the heartlands. Over time, the clinic expanded its team and facilities to meet growing demand.

Today, the clinic operates as a specialist orthodontic clinic chain in Singapore with three locations, offering a full suite of orthodontic care. The team includes three orthodontists, one oral surgeon, and several general dentists. Services range from traditional metal and ceramic braces to Damon self-ligating systems and aligner treatments such as Invisalign, as well as oral surgery procedures, including wisdom tooth removal with sedation, and routine dental care.

Neo Smiles has also been awarded the Invisalign Diamond Tier Practice, supported by in-clinic technology, dedicated orthodontic staff, and the use of iTero Lumina 3D intraoral scanners. Clinics are designed with patient comfort in mind, featuring amenities such as piped-in music, aromatherapy, and overhead televisions to create a more relaxed treatment environment.

“When we started Neo Smiles, our goal was to provide accessible specialist care without requiring patients to travel into the city,” said Dr Neo Bijuan, Clinical Director at Neo Smiles Dental Studio. “Ten years on, we remain focused on bringing structured, reliable care to neighbourhoods where it’s needed most.”

Adapting to Challenges and Expanding Access

The clinic’s 10-year journey has included significant challenges, such as staffing disruptions especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2023, Neo Smiles relocated its Kovan branch to Serangoon Central due to an unexpected site closure. The move enabled the team to continue operations in a more centrally located space, allowing for greater accessibility for patients in the area.

Dental technology has progressed significantly, and Neo Smiles has incorporated digital tools into its clinical workflow. Intraoral scanners are used to generate precise 3D digital models of a patient’s teeth and gums, replacing traditional physical impressions. The clinic also employs CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) imaging, which supports detailed diagnostics and treatment planning while using lower radiation levels compared to conventional CT scans.

Patient-Centred Milestones

Over the past decade, the clinic’s photo wall has become a familiar feature, displaying Polaroid snapshots of patients who have completed their braces or Invisalign dental treatments. This visual record reflects the number of individuals who have completed their treatment plans and has become a long-standing tradition at Neo Smiles, capturing meaningful moments in their orthodontic care journeys.

The clinic continues to serve families, with parents bringing in children for early consultations and routine follow-ups. In addition to services such as braces for kids, Neo Smiles now offers a broader range of pre- and post-treatment options, including teeth whitening, stain removal, and black triangle management. The clinic also provides procedural support such as CBCT 3D X-ray imaging and sedation options for wisdom tooth surgeries, enabling continuity of care across different treatment stages.

Looking Ahead to the Next Decade

Neo Smiles continues to focus on improving access to specialist orthodontic care, especially for patients in the heartlands. To support affordability, the clinic provides student braces packages, flexible instalment options and dental financial assistance for eligible patients. The clinic is also Medisave-accredited and accepts Pioneer Generation, Merdeka Generation, and CHAS subsidies. In addition, the clinic participates in the Baby Bonus Scheme and accepts CDC, LifeSG, and SG60 vouchers.

As the clinic enters its 11th year, Neo Smiles remains focused on its founding purpose: providing accessible, structured treatment while prioritising the patient experience. Although its services and technology have expanded over the years, the team’s focus on attentive service and fostering a welcoming environment continues to shape its daily practice.

To explore WINMAP™ technology for vaccines and pharmaceuticals, join WCC at the Total Store Expo on August 23–25 in San Diego, CA: Booth # 900

Following a successful debut at BIO Asia in Taiwan (July 23–27), WCC will offer demonstrations of its new products at TSE, allowing attendees to witness the benefits of microneedle-based patch solutions for themselves. Its two new MAP products are a homeopathic pain-relief patch and a herbal MACA patch, both available via the standard dissolvable WINMAP platform. WCC will exhibit at TSE alongside its key partner and investor, Synmosa Group, a leading specialty pharmaceutical company in Taiwan.

“Our WINMAP™ platform sets a new standard for producing microneedles — with an unprecedented combination of high-precision molds, accurate drug loading, and efficient, scalable mass production,” remarked Ta-Jo Liu, Chairman and CEO of WCC Biomedical. “With this first-in-class platform, we aim to demonstrate how MAPs can expand possibilities for nutrition and pharmaceuticals with needle-free, painless delivery.”

Precision, scale, and consistency with WINMAP™

A next-generation drug delivery system, WINMAP™ uses micrometer-scale needles made of medical-grade polymers to deliver active ingredients painlessly through the skin —without the need for any kind of injection. The technology leverages a combination of penetration, dissolution, diffusion, and formulation to deliver active ingredients more effectively than traditional transdermal patches or topical creams.

Key features include:

  • Needle-free, pain-free delivery: Eliminates the need for syringes, reducing the risk of infection and minimizing patient discomfort.
  • Scalable production: WCC’s automated manufacturing lines can produce over 10 million MAPs annually with high yield and consistency.
  • Precision Loading and Coating (PLC) process: Provides customizable molding, accurate dosing, smart drying, and proprietary coating technologies.

Advanced formulation databases: The Microneedles Material Database (MMDB) and Microneedles Formulation Database (MFDB) support rapid development of MAPs with tailored release profiles, from rapid onset to controlled delivery.

Leading innovation of novel drug delivery systems

WCC Biomedical is a pioneer in microneedle-based drug delivery systems. The company combines high-precision polymer engineering with scalable manufacturing and advanced formulation science to create innovative MAPs for vaccines, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, and beauty care applications.

Building on its proven innovation in microneedle-based platforms, the company is currently holding a fundraising round with a minimum target of US $7 million for scaling up commercial production, aiming for an IPO in 2027. As the company consolidates its focus on pharmaceutical and vaccine applications, in Q1 2026 WCC is planning to launch several new products and list on Taiwan’s emerging market board.

WCC holds 14 international patents across the US, EU, and Japan. It was named a finalist in Taiwan’s Moderna mRNA Innovation Competition in 2024 and is the only Taiwanese company recognized by leading US NGOs in health equity.

Advancing health equity

In addition to improving patient comfort, MAPs are viable alternatives for low-resource areas where traditional injection-based therapies are impractical. At a time when medical aid for the developing world is receding, solutions like WINMAP™ have significant potential as high-impact solutions for advancing global health equity.

Hong Kong sees broad-based economic resilience under “One Country, Two Systems”


HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 8 August 2025 – Last week, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government published a comprehensive report on the city’s business environment, coinciding with the announcement of the city’s advance estimates on economic performance in the second quarter of 2025. The report’s analysis together with positive economic data accurately reflect Hong Kong’s resilient business-friendly environment with strong appeal for companies and talent from around the world.

In the April-to-June period, Hong Kong recorded solid 3.1% year-on-year GDP growth. This 10th consecutive quarter of economic expansion was supported by strong exports performance and improved domestic demand: total exports of goods recorded an increase of 11.5% over a year earlier, while private consumption expenditure increased by 1.9%.

This solid broad-based performance could be vividly seen in the high number of visitors to the city, including tourists and business visitors drawn by an array of events across town ranging from trade fairs to cultural festivals to mega sports events.

One such event was the first Hong Kong Football Festival at the new Kai Tak Sports Park (KTSP) which saw close to 100,000 football fans packing the Kai Tak Stadium over two match days featuring games between Liverpool and AC Milan followed by Arsenal against Tottenham Hotspur. The crowd included the one-millionth spectator at the Kai Tak Stadium since it opened just five months ago.

Hong Kong welcomed about 24 million visitors in the first half of 2025, representing a year-on-year increase of 12%. Visitor arrivals from the Mainland saw a year-on-year increase of 10% while those from the rest of the world increased 17% over the same period last year.

Unique Strengths under ‘One Country, Two Systems’

The economic statistics fully endorse the analysis in the Government’s 102-page “Report on Hong Kong’s Business Environment: Unique Strengths under ‘One Country, Two Systems'”. Under “One Country, Two Systems”, Hong Kong is known for its robust legal and financial systems, simple and low tax regime, strategic location at the heart of Asia, advanced infrastructure, pool of top-notch talent, and high-quality professional services. With its close connectivity to leading global business centres, Hong Kong offers a dynamic, free and open, convenient and safe place for doing business, making it a preferred destination for corporate investment.

Beyond tourism services, developments in other sectors have been picking up in recent years, further boosting confidence in the local economy.

Despite continued global uncertainties, the sentiment about Hong Kong’s stock market has steadily improved. In the first half of 2025, the Hang Seng Index has risen by more than 4,000 points, registering an increase of about 20%.

The amount of IPO fundraising reached over US$13.6 billion in the first six months of the year, placing Hong Kong in a leading position among major global exchanges. Vibrant IPO activities continued in July with nine IPOs raising more than US$2.3 billion.

Meanwhile, overall investment expenditure increased further alongside the economic expansion.

The HKSAR Government’s Office for Attracting Strategic Enterprises (OASES) has successfully attracted 84 strategic enterprises to set up or expand their operations in Hong Kong. It is expected that they will invest a total of around US$6.4 billion and create more than 20,000 jobs in Hong Kong in the coming few years.

Also, since January 2023, Invest Hong Kong has assisted more than 1,300 overseas and Mainland China companies to set up or expand their business in Hong Kong, bringing in foreign direct investment of more than US$20.3 billion.

Initiatives to attract top talents and professionals from around the world are also paying dividends. Various talent attraction schemes have received nearly 500,000 applications with nearly 330,000 of them approved and almost 220,000 talents already arrived in Hong Kong.

Amid lingering uncertainties in the external environment, the HKSAR Government will continue striving to promote economic growth on different fronts and make the most of the city’s longstanding and unique “One Country, Two Systems” advantages to maintain the city’s reputation as a resilient, open, free and competitive economy.

Toshiba Signs MOU to Explore Use of Weather Data Service in Malaysia’s Smart Farming Flagship Project

– Pilot Project to Guide Farming Operations with Forecasts of Localized Downpours –

KAWASAKI, Japan, Aug. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Toshiba Digital Solutions Corporation (Toshiba) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Malaysia’s MyDIGITAL Corporation and the Muda Agricultural Development Authority (MADA) on exploring the use of Toshiba’s advanced Weather Data Service in Malaysia’s flagship smart farming initiative, Projek Ladang Padi IR4.0.

The MoU marks a significant step in Toshiba’s efforts to support climate resilience and agricultural innovation in Malaysia by leveraging its forecasting technology to address the growing challenges posed by extreme weather.

The signatories hold the signed MoU: Zulkifli bin Romli, General Manager of MADA; Adrian Marcellus, CEO of MyDIGITAL Corporation; and Naoki Yamaguchi, General Manager of ICT Solutions Division, Toshiba Digital Solutions Corporation (left to right)

Like many other countries, Japan and Malaysia are experiencing an increase in sudden, localized heavy rainstorms that are difficult to predict. In Malaysia, where prolonged monsoon rains are already a challenge, these intense downpours can physically damage paddies, and worsen ground saturation and flooding, leading to widespread damage. This rise in extreme and erratic weather highlights the urgent need for rapid and highly accurate forecasting technologies to mitigate their impact.

Toshiba launched its Weather Data Service in Japan in May 2023, leveraging real-time radar data and the company’s proprietary analysis to deliver highly accurate forecasts of localized downpours and their intensity. As part of its global expansion of the business, Toshiba signed an MoU with MyDIGITAL in February 2024 to explore the technology’s application in Malaysia. Through this ongoing collaboration, Toshiba began discussions with MADA to assess the potential use of the service in MADA’s flagship smart farming project, Projek Ladang Padi IR4.0.

Established in 1972, MADA leads Malaysia’s largest agricultural development initiative, focused on enhancing rice productivity, farmer livelihoods and regional economic growth in the Muda region in northwest peninsula Malaysia. The current smart farming project, supported by government funding, integrates digital technologies to transform rice farming in the region.

Facilitated by MyDIGITAL, Toshiba and MADA will carry out a pilot project to evaluate how Toshiba’s Weather Data Service can support agricultural decision-making in rice cultivation. In the pilot, Toshiba will analyze real-time weather radar data from the Malaysian Meteorological Department and forecast the likelihood and intensity of localized heavy rainfall. Alerts based on the analysis will be sent to MADA as needed, and MADA will use water gates to manage water flow in rice paddies. This process is expected to reduce the impact of the rainfall and protect the rice crop from damage.

Toshiba is committed to contributing to global disaster prevention and mitigation by accurately capturing and forecasting atmospheric conditions across wide and localized areas. Through applications in various industries, Toshiba aims to help realize a safer and more resilient society.
