Orthodontics — Braces & Aligners
Straightening teeth is a gradual, monitored process. Here's what the journey looks like from first consultation to the retainer you'll wear afterward, led by Dr. Amrita Pritam, our specialist orthodontist.
What this includes
Three ways to straighten your smile.
Metal Braces
The tried-and-tested option — strong, reliable brackets and wires that handle even complex bite corrections affordably.
Ceramic Braces
Tooth-coloured brackets that work like metal braces but blend in with your teeth, so they're far less noticeable.
Invisible Braces
Clear, removable aligners that gradually shift teeth into place — nearly unnoticeable and easy to keep clean.
What to expect
How the process works.
Assessment
Photographs, X-rays, and a careful look at your bite and alignment to understand exactly what needs correcting.
Choosing your appliance
Metal, ceramic, self-ligating braces, or clear aligners (including Invisalign) — we'll walk through the trade-offs so you can choose what suits your life.
Fitting
Your braces are bonded, or your first set of aligners is issued, along with clear instructions for the weeks ahead.
Regular adjustments
Visits roughly every 4–6 weeks to tighten wires or move to the next aligner stage, tracking progress against your plan.
Retention
Once treatment is complete, a retainer keeps teeth in their new position — this phase matters as much as the active treatment itself.
