About This Treatment
Orthodontic treatment straightens misaligned teeth and corrects bite issues using either traditional braces or clear aligners like Invisalign. Dr. Saikrupa, our consultant orthodontist, assesses each patient's bite, jaw alignment and aesthetic goals to recommend the most suitable option — whether that's discreet clear aligners for adults or comprehensive braces treatment for growing smiles.
How the Treatment Process Works
Orthodontic Assessment
Digital scans, X-rays and photos evaluate tooth position and bite alignment.
Treatment Planning
A customized plan is created — braces or clear aligners — with an estimated treatment timeline.
Fitting Braces or Aligners
Braces are bonded to the teeth, or a series of custom clear aligners is provided.
Regular Adjustments
Periodic visits to adjust braces or progress through aligner sets, tracking movement.
Retention Phase
After active treatment, a retainer maintains your new, straighter smile.
Benefits
- Straightens teeth and improves bite function
- Invisalign aligners are discreet and removable for eating and cleaning
- Improves long-term oral hygiene by making teeth easier to clean
- Can address crowding, gaps, and bite misalignment
- Suitable for teens and adults alike
Things to Consider
- Treatment duration varies from several months to a couple of years depending on complexity
- Aligner success depends on consistent daily wear (typically 20-22 hours/day)
- Retainers are needed after treatment to maintain results
