What is Orthodontics ?

Orthodontics is a specialty discipline of dentistry that focuses on the alignment of the teeth and jaws to improve a person’s smile and oral health. Crooked teeth that are not aligned correctly are harder to keep clean and are at risk for tooth decay and gum disease. Experienced specialists/orthodontists come to our clinic to give you treatment with long-lasting effects.

How does it Work?

Braces or aligners work by applying continuous pressure on the teeth for a long time to move them into the desired position gradually. 

Who can get it done?

Anyone who is motivated to improve the aesthetics and function of their teeth, who has crooked teeth that make it difficult for them to maintain their oral hygiene, who is conscious about their smile, or who struggles with the masticatory function of the teeth. There is no age limit. 

Types of Braces

Metal Braces

Metal braces

Metal braces are orthodontic devices used to straighten and align teeth. They consist of metal brackets bonded to the teeth and connected by wires and rubber bands. An orthodontist adjusts the wires regularly to shift the teeth gradually into the desired position. Despite the availability of newer orthodontic options like clear aligners, traditional braces remain popular.

Ceramic braces

Ceramic braces are an orthodontic treatment that provides an alternative to traditional metal braces. They are designed to blend in more with the natural color of the teeth, making them less noticeable. Ceramic braces use brackets made from a clear or tooth-colored ceramic material, which is less conspicuous than metal brackets and reduces visibility.
Invisalign

Lingual braces

Lingual braces are an orthodontic treatment that offers a discreet alternative to traditional braces. Instead of being placed on the front of the teeth like traditional braces, lingual braces are attached to the back (lingual) surface, making them virtually invisible when smiling. Lingual braces are custom-made to fit each patient's teeth precisely. They consist of brackets and wires bonded to the back surfaces of the teeth, providing effective orthodontic treatment while remaining hidden. One of the primary advantages of lingual braces is their cosmetic appeal. Because they are placed on the back of the teeth, they are virtually invisible when smiling, making them an excellent option for individuals who desire a discreet orthodontic treatment.
Invisible Aligners

Invisalign

Invisalign offers a discreet and comfortable path to a straighter, healthier smile. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners that gradually shift your teeth into place. This allows you to enjoy the benefits of orthodontic treatment without compromising your appearance or lifestyle. With Invisalign, you can eat your favorite foods, maintain excellent oral hygiene, and even remove the aligners for special occasions. The end result is a beautifully aligned smile that boosts your confidence and promotes long-term oral health.

Self-ligating braces

Self-ligating braces are metal braces that function similarly to traditional metal braces but with some key differences in design. Instead of using elastic bands or ligatures to hold the archwire in place, self-ligating braces utilize a specialized clip or door mechanism built into the brackets. This allows the archwire to move more freely, resulting in less friction and discomfort during treatment. Self-ligating braces offer several potential benefits compared to traditional braces, including: Faster treatment time: Some studies suggest that self-ligating braces fmay lead to shorter treatment times than traditional braces. Fewer adjustments: These braces may require fewer adjustments during treatment because they use a self-ligating mechanism. Improved oral hygiene: The absence of elastic bands may make keeping the teeth and braces clean easier, potentially reducing the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Increased comfort: The lower friction design of self-ligating braces may result in less discomfort and fewer soft tissue irritations. However, it's important to note that self-ligating braces may not be suitable for all cases, and treatment outcomes can vary depending on individual factors. It's best to consult an orthodontist to determine the most appropriate treatment option for your needs.

An orthodontist is a dental specialist who corrects teeth alignment, bite problems, and jaw irregularities using braces, aligners, and other orthodontic treatments. You should visit an orthodontist if your teeth are crooked, crowded, spaced out, or if you face bite issues like overbite, underbite, or jaw discomfort.

The best treatment depends on your teeth, lifestyle, and budget. At Dr. Spandana’s Dentistry, we offer:

✔ Metal Braces

✔ Ceramic Braces

✔ Self-Ligating Braces

✔ Invisalign & Clear Aligners

✔ Kids Orthodontics (Myobrace, Habit-breaking appliances)

Our orthodontist will check your teeth and recommend the most suitable option.

Braces cost varies based on the type of braces you choose:

  • Metal Braces: ₹25,000 – ₹45,000
  • Ceramic Braces: ₹45,000 – ₹75,000
  • Self-Ligating Braces: ₹60,000 – ₹90,000
  • Invisalign/Clear Aligners: ₹80,000 – ₹3,50,000

At Dr. Spandana’s Dentistry, you also get transparent pricing and easy EMI options.

Clear aligners like Invisalign are more comfortable, removable, and nearly invisible. They are great for working professionals and teenagers who want a subtle treatment. However, braces may be better for severe alignment or bite issues. During your consultation, we guide you on which option suits your case best.

The duration depends on how crooked or misaligned your teeth are. On average:

  • Mild cases: 6–12 months
  • Moderate cases: 12–18 months
  • Complex cases: 18–24 months

Regular follow-ups help speed up the results.

Children should have their first orthodontic check-up at age 7. Early evaluation helps detect overcrowding, jaw growth issues, or habits like thumb sucking. If needed, braces or appliances can be started between 9–14 years for the best results.

There may be slight discomfort for the first 2–3 days as your teeth start moving. This is normal and settles quickly. Aligners usually cause less discomfort compared to braces.

You may need orthodontic treatment if you have:

  • Crooked or crowded teeth
  • Gaps between teeth
  • Protruding front teeth
  • Jaw misalignment
  • Difficulty chewing
  • Speech-related issues
  • Frequent mouth breathing

A simple consultation at Dr. Spandana’s Dentistry will confirm exactly what you need.
