Braces Treatment
About Braces Treatment
We offer braces treatment in Chitlapakkam, Chennai, with metal and ceramic braces for children, teens and adults.
Braces use brackets and archwires to apply gentle, controlled pressure to teeth over time, gradually moving them into the correct position. They are one of the most time-tested orthodontic treatments and can address complex bite issues, significant crowding, and spacing that may not be suitable for aligners alone.
Benefits
Corrects Complex Cases
Suitable for severe crowding, misaligned bites, and cases that may not respond well to clear aligners.
Precise Tooth Movement
Brackets and wires allow precise control over the direction and extent of each tooth's movement.
Suitable for All Ages
Braces are effective for children, teenagers, and adults — it's never too late to straighten your smile.
Improved Oral Health
Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of decay and gum disease.
Long-Lasting Results
With the right retainer, the results of braces treatment can last a lifetime.
Treatment Process
Orthodontic Examination
Dr. Divya examines your teeth, bite, and takes X-rays to create a detailed treatment plan.
Bracket Bonding
Small brackets are bonded to the front surface of each tooth using dental adhesive.
Archwire Placement
A flexible archwire is threaded through each bracket and secured, applying gentle pressure to begin tooth movement.
Regular Adjustments
You visit every 4–6 weeks for wire adjustments that progressively guide teeth toward their target positions.
Progress Monitoring
Periodic X-rays and clinical assessments track progress throughout treatment and allow plan refinements.
Brace Removal & Retainer
Once teeth have reached the ideal position, brackets are removed and a retainer is fitted to maintain the result.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does braces treatment take?
Treatment time varies from 12 to 24 months depending on the severity of misalignment. Dr. Divya will give a personalised estimate after the initial assessment.
Are braces painful?
You may feel mild soreness for a few days after each adjustment as your teeth shift. This is normal and typically eases with over-the-counter pain relief.
What types of braces are available?
We offer traditional metal braces and tooth-coloured ceramic braces. Dr. Divya will advise which type best suits your clinical needs and lifestyle.
Can I play sports with braces?
Yes — we recommend wearing a mouthguard during contact sports to protect both your braces and teeth from impact.
How do I clean my teeth with braces?
Brushing after every meal and using floss threaders or interdental brushes to clean between brackets and wires is essential. Dr. Divya's team will demonstrate the correct technique.
