The cost of metal braces in our clinic starts at ₹34,990 for the entire treatment. It covers the placement and adjustments throughout the treatment.
2. What is the difference between metal and ceramic braces?
Metal braces are more visible but highly effective. Ceramic braces are tooth-colored, smooth, and easy on the gums, which leads to less plaque accumulation. They are ideal for patients looking for both comfort and aesthetics.
3. Do self-ligating braces work faster than regular braces?
Yes, self-ligating braces like 3M SmartClip and Damon System are designed to reduce treatment time by around 15-20% compared to traditional braces.
4. Is there a difference in comfort between traditional and self-ligating braces?
Self-ligating braces use a sliding mechanism, which minimizes friction and pressure on the teeth, making the treatment more comfortable. Damon braces also require fewer clinic visits due to their advanced design.

The treatment usually takes 12-24 months, depending on the complexity of the case. Damon braces can reduce the number of appointments needed during this time.

Typically, appointments are scheduled every 4-6 weeks for adjustments. However, with Damon braces, you may require fewer visits.
8. Do I need to wear retainers after braces?
Yes, retainers are necessary to maintain the alignment of your teeth after the braces are removed.
9. Are there any additional care tips for ceramic braces?
All braces require proper cleaning. Ceramic braces are smooth, and as a result, they accumulate less plaque. They are also easy on the gums, providing a more comfortable experience.
10. Can I opt for invisible aligners instead of braces?
Yes, we offer aligner treatments like Invisalign and ClearCorrect, which are clear, removable, and more discreet alternatives to traditional braces.
