The fixed options
- Metal braces are the most visible choice and the workhorse of orthodontics. They stay on all the time, which means they do not depend on your discipline.
- Ceramic braces use tooth-coloured brackets. They work in the same way but are harder to spot in conversation.
- Transparent braces are clearer still, for people who want a fixed appliance and the lowest profile that one can have.
- Self-ligating versions of metal, ceramic and transparent braces hold the wire with a built-in clip rather than elastic ties, and usually need fewer tightening visits.
The removable options
Aligners are a series of clear trays, each moving the teeth a small step further. The clinic provides two routes: Indian aligners and Invisalign. Both come out for meals and brushing, and both only work if you wear them for most of the day. If you know you will leave trays on your desk, fixed braces are the safer decision, however appealing clear plastic sounds.
How to choose between them
- Start with your bite. Some tooth movements are better suited to fixed braces. A proper examination comes before any preference.
- Be truthful about your routine. Frequent travel, client meetings and eating habits all affect what you will stick with.
- Count the visits. Ask how often you will need to come in. The clinic is open from 10am to 9:30pm all seven days, which makes regular visits easier around a working week.
- Ask about the end. Every option needs a retainer afterwards, and skipping it is the usual reason teeth drift back.
Adults are welcome
There is no upper age limit as long as your gums and bone are healthy. Gum problems need treating first, because moving teeth through unhealthy support does harm. If you have had braces before and the result slipped or the treatment was not finished, tell us what happened and bring any old records.
Starting out
Your first appointment is an examination and a discussion of what is possible, and you are free to think it over afterwards. Call +91 98103 71228 or send a WhatsApp message from this page to book it.

Frequently asked questions
Are aligners better than braces?
Neither is better across the board. Aligners are discreet and removable but depend on steady wear. Braces work around the clock and handle a wider range of movements.
How long will my treatment take?
It varies with how far the teeth need to move. You will get an estimate for your own case after the examination, rather than a figure that fits everyone.
Do you offer Invisalign?
Yes. Invisalign and Indian aligners are both available, and the dentist can explain how they compare for your teeth.
Will I need teeth removed first?
Not always. It depends on how much space your teeth need, and you will be told the reason if an extraction is suggested.
