WHAT ARE BRACES AND WHO NEEDS THEM?

Braces are fixed orthodontic appliances — typically made from metal or tooth-coloured ceramic — that apply controlled, continuous pressure to gradually move teeth into their correct positions. They work by shifting both the teeth and the underlying bone structure over time, guided by a specialist’s treatment plan.

Braces address a wide range of orthodontic concerns: crowded or overlapping teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and misaligned jaw positions. They are one of the most clinically established methods of teeth straightening available — effective across a broad spectrum of case complexity.

Braces are commonly used for children and teenagers during active dental development, but are equally suitable for adults at any age. The key is proper diagnosis — understanding not just the position of your teeth, but the relationship between your upper and lower jaws before any treatment begins.

At Aligning Dentistry, every braces case is assessed and managed by an MDS specialist in orthodontics — ensuring your treatment plan is clinically grounded from day one.

SIGNS YOU MAY NEED BRACES

1. Crowded or Overlapping Teeth

When teeth don’t have enough space to align properly, they overlap—making cleaning difficult and increasing the risk of decay and gum disease over time.

2. Noticeable Gaps Between Teeth

Spaces between teeth can affect appearance, cause food trapping, and sometimes indicate underlying bite or jaw issues worth addressing.

3. Overbite — Upper Teeth Too Far Forward

If your upper front teeth protrude significantly over your lower teeth when you bite, this is an overbite. Left unaddressed, it can lead to excessive tooth wear and jaw strain.

4. Underbite — Lower Teeth in Front of Upper

An underbite occurs when the lower jaw sits in front of the upper when biting. This can affect chewing, speech, facial balance, and often benefits from early orthodontic treatment.

5. Crossbite

When some upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth rather than outside, it causes uneven pressure on the jaw and can lead to asymmetric facial growth in younger patients.

6. Mouth Breathing or Jaw Discomfort

Persistent jaw clicking, difficulty chewing, or habitual mouth breathing can sometimes signal orthodontic issues that braces, as part of a broader treatment plan, can help correct.

7. Your Child’s Teeth Are Coming in Crooked

If permanent teeth are erupting in misaligned positions, an early orthodontic evaluation can determine whether treatment now may prevent more complex procedures later.

8. Previous Braces But Teeth Have Shifted

Relapse after orthodontic treatment is common, particularly if retainers weren’t worn consistently. Fixed braces can effectively re-align teeth that have shifted over time.

BENEFITS OF BRACES TREATMENT

Clinically Reliable Teeth Straightening

Braces are one of the most well-established orthodontic treatments available, backed by decades of clinical evidence for correcting both simple and complex alignment issues.

Works for a Wide Range of Cases

From mild crowding to complex bite corrections and jaw discrepancies, braces can effectively treat conditions that clear aligners may not always be suitable for.

Fixed — No Compliance Required

Unlike removable aligners, braces work continuously without relying on daily wear habits, making them especially practical for children and teenagers.

Improves Oral Health, Not Just Appearance

Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing the long-term risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and uneven tooth wear while improving overall oral health.

Tooth-Coloured Options Available

Ceramic braces provide a less noticeable alternative to traditional metal braces, making them a popular choice for adults and older teenagers.

Long-Term Bite Stability

Well-planned braces treatment creates a stable bite that supports healthy jaw function, reduces joint stress, and helps maintain results for years after treatment.

BRACES TREATMENT PROCESS

Orthodontic Consultation

Your MDS specialist takes a complete history, listens to your concerns, and carries out a clinical examination of your teeth, bite, and jaw relationship. This is not a sales conversation — it's a clinical assessment.

— Records and Digital Assessment

Detailed orthodontic records are taken — including intraoral scans or impressions, dental X-rays, and photographs. These give your specialist an accurate picture of your bite mechanics and growth pattern.

Personalised Treatment

Plan Based on your records, your specialist designs a treatment plan outlining which type of braces is recommended, estimated treatment duration, and what changes to expect at each stage. You'll have a clear understanding of the full plan before anything is fitted.

Fitting Your Braces

Brackets are bonded to your teeth and connected with an archwire. The procedure is straightforward and does not require anaesthesia. You'll leave with a clear guide on care, cleaning, and what to avoid eating.

Adjustment Appointments and Completion

You'll attend the clinic every 4–8 weeks for wire changes and progress checks. Once teeth have reached their planned positions, braces are removed and a retainer is fitted — the most important step in preserving your result.

We offer both traditional metal braces and ceramic (tooth-coloured) braces. Your orthodontic specialist will recommend the most suitable option based on your clinical needs, aesthetic preferences, and budget.

2. How long does braces treatment take?

Treatment time depends on the complexity of your case. Simple cases may take 12–18 months, while more complex bite corrections may require a longer treatment period.

3. Are braces painful?

Mild soreness is normal for a few days after braces are fitted or adjusted. This is a sign that your teeth are moving as planned and usually settles quickly.

4. What is the difference between metal and ceramic braces?

Metal braces are highly durable and cost-effective, while ceramic braces use tooth-coloured brackets that are less noticeable. Both are effective treatment options.

5. How much do braces cost in Chennai?

The cost depends on the type of braces, treatment complexity, treatment duration, and whether any additional dental procedures are required. A personalised estimate is provided during your consultation.

6. Can adults get braces?

Yes. Adults of all ages can benefit from braces, provided their teeth and gums are healthy. Many patients begin orthodontic treatment well into adulthood.

7. Will I need teeth extracted before getting braces?

Not always. Extractions are recommended only when there isn't enough space to align the teeth properly. Your orthodontist will determine this after a detailed assessment.

8. How often will I need adjustment appointments?

Most patients visit every 4–8 weeks for adjustments and progress checks. Your appointment schedule will depend on your treatment plan.

9. What foods should I avoid with braces?

Hard, sticky, and chewy foods such as chewing gum, hard candy, popcorn, and ice should be avoided as they can damage brackets and wires.

10. Do I need a retainer after braces?

Yes. Wearing a retainer after braces is essential to maintain your results and prevent your teeth from gradually shifting back.

11. Are ceramic braces as effective as metal braces?

Yes. Ceramic braces work using the same orthodontic principles as metal braces and are equally effective for most cases. The main difference is their more discreet appearance.

12. What is the best age to start braces treatment?

Early teenage years are often ideal once most permanent teeth have erupted, but braces can be successfully started at almost any age. An orthodontic assessment around ages 7–9 can identify children who may benefit from early intervention.
