About the Treatment

What Are Traditional Braces?

Traditional braces use small brackets bonded to the front of each tooth, connected by an archwire that applies steady, gentle pressure to guide teeth into their correct position over time. They remain the most reliable option for correcting significant crowding, gaps and bite problems that removable aligners can't always manage on their own.

"Metal" and "ceramic" braces aren't different procedures — they use the exact same bracket-and-wire mechanics. The only real difference is the material and how visible the brackets are, which is why both are covered on this page rather than split into separate treatments.

Our Process

How Braces Treatment Works

01
Orthodontic Consultation & X-Rays

Your bite, crowding and jaw relationship are assessed with X-rays or scans before anything is planned.

02
Treatment Planning

Bracket type — metal, ceramic, self-ligating or lingual — and an expected timeline are decided together.

03
Bonding the Brackets

Brackets are bonded to each tooth with a safe dental adhesive — a comfortable, painless appointment.

04
Archwire Placement

The wire that guides tooth movement is threaded through the brackets and secured in place.

05
Periodic Adjustments

Every 4–6 weeks, wires are tightened or changed to keep teeth moving along the planned path.

06
Debonding & Retainer Fitting

Once alignment is complete, brackets are removed and a retainer is fitted immediately to hold results.

Brace Options

Types of Traditional Braces We Offer

Metal Braces

The classic stainless-steel bracket-and-wire system — the most affordable and durable option for significant crowding or bite issues.

Ceramic Braces

Tooth-coloured or clear brackets that blend in against your teeth, giving the same reliable results with noticeably less visibility.

Self-Ligating Braces

Brackets with a built-in clip instead of elastic ties, letting the wire move more freely — often fewer adjustment visits and less friction.

Lingual (Hidden) Braces

Brackets bonded to the back of your teeth, completely hidden from the front — full correction with zero visible hardware.

Advantages

Benefits of Traditional Braces

Handles Complex Cases

Effective for severe crowding, spacing and bite problems that aligners alone may not fully correct.

Most Affordable Option

Metal braces remain the most budget-friendly way to achieve a fully corrected, aligned smile.

No Daily Compliance Needed

Braces work continuously since they're fixed in place — no tray to remember to wear for 20+ hours a day.

Precise, Predictable Movement

Wires and brackets give your dentist fine control over exactly how each tooth moves.

Proven, Time-Tested Results

Traditional braces have corrected smiles for decades, with outcomes that are well understood and reliable.

Who Should Consider This?

Are Braces Right for You?

Traditional braces are usually the right fit if you have:

  • Moderate to severe crowding or spacing
  • Bite problems such as overbite, underbite or crossbite
  • A preference for fixed, always-on correction over a removable tray
  • Concerns about staying consistent with aligner wear
  • A priority on the most cost-effective path to a straight smile
Jaw pain, clicking or headaches alongside your bite concerns? That can point to TMJ/TMD rather than — or in addition to — misalignment, and is worth assessing separately.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Metal braces use stainless-steel brackets and wires — the most affordable and durable option, best suited for complex bite corrections. Ceramic braces use tooth-coloured or clear brackets that blend in with your teeth, offering the same effectiveness with a less noticeable appearance, at a somewhat higher cost.

Metal braces typically cost ₹25,000–₹50,000 in Bangalore, while ceramic braces range from ₹35,000–₹80,000. Self-ligating and lingual (behind-the-teeth) braces cost more, usually ₹60,000–₹1,50,000. A written estimate is given after your assessment, since the final cost depends on the complexity of your bite.

Braces don't hurt during placement, but you can expect mild soreness for 3–5 days after fitting and after each adjustment, as your teeth respond to the new pressure. Over-the-counter pain relief and soft foods make this period easy to manage.

Most patients wear braces for 12–24 months, depending on how much correction is needed. Mild crowding or spacing can finish sooner; bite corrections or severe crowding take longer. Your orthodontic exam gives a realistic timeline before you start.

Yes. There's no upper age limit for braces — many of our patients are adults treating issues that were never corrected in childhood, or teeth that have shifted with age. Ceramic and lingual options are popular with adults who want a more discreet treatment.

Sticky, hard, and chewy foods — think chewing gum, hard candy, nuts, and crusty bread — should be avoided, along with biting directly into whole apples or corn on the cob. Cutting firm foods into small pieces protects your brackets and wires.

Adjustment visits are usually scheduled every 4–6 weeks. At each visit, wires are tightened or changed to keep your teeth moving along the planned path — these visits are quick and not painful, though you may feel pressure for a day or two afterward.

Once your teeth reach their final position, braces are removed and a retainer is fitted immediately — this is essential, since teeth naturally drift back without one. We recommend full-time wear initially, tapering to nights only, to lock in your new smile permanently.
