Achieve perfectly aligned teeth with modern orthodontic solutions
Quick answer
Braces use brackets and wires to gradually move teeth into better alignment and correct bite problems, and they can handle nearly every kind of crowding or bite issue. At Kapoor's Safe Hands Dental in Sushant Lok, Gurgaon, treatment usually takes 12 to 30 months with adjustment visits every 4 to 6 weeks.

Braces gradually move teeth into proper alignment using controlled, gentle pressure, correcting crowding, gaps, and bite issues for both improved appearance and long-term oral function.
Metal braces: the most affordable and time-tested option
Ceramic braces: tooth-colored brackets for a less visible option
Self-ligating systems: reduced friction, often fewer adjustment visits
Crowded or overlapping teeth
Noticeable gaps between teeth
Overbite, underbite, or crossbite
Jaw alignment concerns affecting bite or speech
Treatment duration depends on the complexity of the case, typically ranging from 12 to 30 months, with regular adjustment visits every 4 to 6 weeks to track progress.
A well-aligned, balanced smile with long-term benefits for both appearance and bite function.
Metal braces typically start from ₹38,000, while ceramic or self ligating systems starts from ₹58,000.
Metal braces are strong, reliable and the most economical, but they're the most visible. Ceramic braces use tooth-coloured brackets that blend in better, though they can be a little bulkier and the elastic ties may stain. Self-ligating braces hold the wire with a small built-in clip instead of elastic ties, which can make cleaning easier and adjustment visits smoother. We'll help you pick based on your case, your looks preference and your budget.
Step 1: Consultation with X-rays, photos and impressions or scans.
Step 2: A plan that explains what will move, in which order, and roughly how long it will take.
Step 3: Fitting the brackets and the first wire.
Step 4: Regular adjustments, every 4 to 6 weeks, where wires or elastics are changed.
Step 5: Removing the braces and fitting retainers to hold the result.
Brush after meals and use interdental brushes or a water flosser to clean around brackets
Skip hard and sticky food such as chewy sweets, nuts and ice. Cut apples and corn off the cob
Wear a mouth guard for contact sports
Never skip an adjustment visit, since treatment time depends on it
Wear your retainers exactly as instructed
If your case is complex, braces are usually the more predictable route. If your teeth need only mild to moderate movement and you're disciplined about wearing them, Invisalign may suit you. You'll get our honest recommendation after your examination.
