Orthodontics for a Healthier Bite & Straighter Smile
Braces and aligners to correct bite issues and align teeth comfortably.
What is Orthodontics?
Orthodontics corrects misaligned teeth and bite issues using braces or clear aligners. Treatment improves function, long-term oral health, and facial harmony while straightening your smile.
Braces or Aligners are orthodontic appliances designed to enhance both the appearance and functionality of your smile. These systems use brackets and wires to gradually move teeth into proper alignment, reducing spacing issues and correcting positioning.
Common concerns like teeth grinding, excessive overbites or underbites, crowded or crooked teeth, and jaw alignment problems can all be effectively addressed through orthodontic treatment.
Your treatment options
At Oral Edge in Thanisandra, Bengaluru, our orthodontist offers three main options. Metal braces are the most economical and handle even complex cases reliably. Ceramic braces work the same way but use tooth-coloured brackets that blend in for a more discreet look. Clear aligners — including Invisalign — are a series of removable, nearly invisible trays that you change every one to two weeks; they are popular with working professionals and students because they can be taken out to eat, brush, and floss.
How we choose the right appliance
The best appliance depends on your bite, the complexity of the movement needed, your lifestyle, and your budget. Clear aligners are ideal for mild to moderate crowding and spacing in patients who are disciplined about wearing the trays 20 to 22 hours a day. Braces are often the better choice for complex rotations, large gaps, and significant bite correction. After a clinical examination and digital records, our orthodontist walks you through the realistic options for your specific case rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
How long does treatment take?
Most orthodontic treatment runs between 6 and 24 months. Minor alignment or relapse cases can finish in around 6 to 12 months. Moderate crowding or spacing typically takes 12 to 18 months, while complex bite corrections may need 18 to 24 months or longer. You will visit roughly every 4 to 8 weeks for adjustments or new aligner sets, and we share an estimated timeline up front so you can plan around important dates.
What to expect
It is normal to feel mild pressure or soreness for a day or two after braces are placed or when you switch to a new aligner — this means the teeth are moving as planned. Good oral hygiene is essential throughout treatment, and we show you how to clean effectively around brackets or care for your aligners. After treatment, a retainer keeps your new smile in place, and we explain exactly how and when to wear it to protect your results for the long term.
