New Patient Guide

What Are Braces?

A simple explanation for anyone starting their orthodontic journey.

Dental braces are precision tools used by orthodontists to slowly move teeth into the right position. They help correct crooked teeth, gaps, bite problems, and jaw alignment issues.

🦷

Function

Braces apply gentle pressure on teeth over time. This pressure helps teeth move safely into better alignment.

Duration

Most braces treatments last between 8 to 24 months, depending on how much correction is needed.

😌

Comfort

Braces do not hurt. Mild discomfort may happen for a few days after fitting or adjustments.

👥

Age Suitability

Braces work at any age. Many of our patients in Gurgaon start braces in their 30s and 40s.

Age Groups & Suitability

Who Should Consider Braces?

Braces are not age-limited. The reason for treatment changes with every stage of life.

Age 7–12

  • Fix Crossbite & narrow jaws
  • Correct Thumb sucking effects
  • Balance jaw growth anomalies
Age 13–19
Braces for Teenagers Age 13-19

Braces for Teens

The ideal biological window. Metabolism is high, making teeth move faster.

Types of Dental Braces in Gurgaon

Understanding your options: Material, Mechanism, and Lifestyle choices.

By Material
Metal Braces Close-up
Most Popular

Metal Braces

The gold standard for orthodontic treatment. Made from high-grade stainless steel or titanium alloys.

[Image of metal braces bracket components]
  • Strength: Unmatched durability for complex bites.
  • Cost: Generally the most affordable option.
  • Biocompatible: Safe medical-grade materials.

  • Texture: Smooth surface gentle on gums.
  • Maintenance: Requires good hygiene to avoid staining ties.
💡 Clinic Tip: We recommend high-quality ceramic to prevent bracket breakage during chewing.
By Mechanism
Conventional Braces with Rubber Bands

Conventional System

Uses small rubber bands (ligatures) or wires to tie the main wire into the bracket.

[Image of orthodontic ligature ties diagram]
  • Friction: Higher friction may mean slower movement.
  • Customizable: Kids love choosing colored bands.
  • Maintenance: Rubber bands loosen and need monthly changes.
  • Visits: Requires appointments every 4 weeks.
💡 Clinic Tip: Fun for kids who want to change colors every month!
Self Ligating Braces Damon System

Self-Ligating (Damon)

Advanced brackets with a built-in “sliding door” to hold the wire. No rubber bands needed.

[Image of self-ligating bracket mechanism]
  • Speed: Often moves teeth faster than conventional.
  • Hygiene: Easier to clean (no elastic bands to trap food).
  • Comfort: Lower friction means less pressure/pain.

[Image of clear aligner vs traditional braces comparison]
  • Invisible: Barely noticeable to others.
  • Removable: Eat whatever you want!

  • Digital: See your future smile before starting.
💡 Clinic Tip: Best for adults and disciplined teens. Requires wearing 22 hours/day.
Braces vs Clear Aligners

Braces vs. Clear Aligners

Both straighten teeth effectively, but the right choice depends on your case complexity and lifestyle.

Fixed System

  • Discipline: Must wear 20–22 hours daily.
  • Ideal For: Adults & Mild-Moderate Correction.
Check if you are a candidate for Invisalign.
Teeth Extraction for Braces

Preserving Your Natural Teeth

We avoid removing healthy teeth whenever possible. Extractions can permanently alter chewing efficiency, jaw balance, and facial support.

Maximizing Chewing Function

Removing premolars reduces your total chewing surface area. Keeping a full set of teeth maintains maximum bite force and prevents long-term jaw fatigue.

Facial Support & Esthetics

Teeth support the lips and cheeks. Non-extraction planning prevents the “sunken profile” look that can occur with age if teeth are removed unnecessarily.

How We Create Space Without Extraction

Instead of removing teeth, we use advanced orthodontic mechanics to develop the arch:

IPR (Polishing):
Safe micro-reshaping of enamel to gain millimeters of space.
Arch Expansion:
Widening the jaw curve to fit all teeth naturally.
Distalization (TADs):
Moving back teeth further back to create room in front.
Brands of Braces

Why Braces Brands Matter

Not all braces are created equal. The difference lies in manufacturing precision, comfort, and how accurately your teeth move.

We Use Only Authentic Brands

The Clinical Standard

  • Damon (Ormco): World leader in self-ligating technology.
  • 3M Unitek: Precision engineering for consistent force.
  • JJ Orthodontics: Reliable, doctor-approved Indian system.
  • Genius Ortho: Quality-controlled manufacturing.
🛡️

Result: Predictable movement, fewer emergency visits, and higher patient comfort.

The Reality at Some Clinics

Cheap Imitations

  • Generic “Look-alikes”: Poor quality Chinese knock-offs.
  • Hidden Costs: Patients often charged “Branded” prices.
  • Design Flaws: Rough edges cause ulcers & discomfort.
  • Poor Performance: Slower movement due to friction.
⚠️

Result: Treatment takes longer, hurts more, and risks poor outcomes.

Our Recommendation

Why We Prefer Damon Braces

The world’s most advanced self-ligating system — trusted by 7 million smiles worldwide.

Damon Braces Smile
WORLD’S #1 SYSTEM

The Damon Advantage

Up to 6 Months Faster

Self-ligating clips reduce friction, moving teeth more efficiently than traditional elastic bands.

Superior Comfort

No tightening of wires means less pressure and significantly less pain during treatment.

Fewer Office Visits

Requires adjustments every 8–10 weeks instead of monthly visits.

Broader Smiles

Designed to widen the arch, giving a fuller, more aesthetic “Damon Smile”.

Fewer Extractions

Arch development often eliminates the need to remove healthy teeth.

Patient Stories

Real Smiles, Real Reviews

Authentic experiences from families in Gurgaon who chose us for their smile transformation.

“A Year of Struggle Ended Here”

I trusted a dentist near me for braces, but after a year, my canine tooth rotated outwards. I contacted CDIE, met Dr. Jyoti Singh, and learned that orthodontists are specialists for braces. A new plan corrected everything. Dr. Ankita is the best orthodontist near me.

“Braces Without Extraction”

I had crooked teeth and wanted the best smile. I chose ceramic Damon braces. Everyone else said extraction is a must, but Dr. Jyoti was the first to say we can get 80% correction without extraction. We did it without losing any teeth! She is the best in Gurgaon.

Post-Treatment Care

Retainers: Protecting Your Investment

Braces move your teeth; retainers keep them there. Understanding why they are crucial.

Why Are Retainers Essential?

Once braces are removed, the bone and gums need time to stabilize around the new tooth positions. Without retention, teeth naturally drift back—a process called orthodontic relapse.

0-6 Months Critical Phase (24/7 Wear)
6+ Months Night-Only Wear
Long Term Maintenance (Few nights/week)

Our Retention Protocol

At CDIE Gurgaon, retention is not an afterthought—it’s part of the initial diagnosis. We select the retainer type based on your specific relapse risk factors.

  • Custom selection (Fixed vs. Removable).
  • Detailed hygiene & care instructions provided.
  • Schedule for long-term retainer checks.
  • Replacement planning included.
Common Retainer Options

A thin wire bonded permanently behind the front 6 teeth. Invisible and works 24/7 without you thinking about it.

Transparent, removable trays similar to clear aligners. Excellent aesthetics but require discipline to wear nightly.

[Image of hawley retainer]

Traditional acrylic and wire design. extremely durable and allows for minor adjustments if teeth shift slightly.

Premium grade material from Invisalign. 30% stronger than standard retainers. Ideal for bruxers (grinders).

Braces FAQs – Expert Answers for Gurgaon Patients

Clinically answered by Smile Architect supervision

MDS Orthodontists 17+ Years Experience Adult & Teen Braces 2 Gurgaon Clinics

General Braces Questions

What dental problems can braces fix?

Braces correct more than crooked teeth.

  • Crowding and spacing
  • Forward or backward teeth
  • Open bite, deep bite, crossbite
  • Jaw alignment and bite imbalance

In Gurgaon, many adult patients seek braces mainly for bite and jaw correction, not just looks.

Can braces change face shape?

Yes, in some cases.

  • Improves lip support
  • Balances jaw position
  • Enhances smile profile

This is why braces planning at our clinic is done under Smile Architect supervision, not just bracket placement.

How long do I need to wear braces?

Treatment typically ranges from 12 to 24 months, though this varies based on your specific case.

  • Simple alignment: 6-12 months
  • Average cases: 18-24 months
  • Complex bite correction: 24-36 months

Duration depends on severity of misalignment, age, treatment type, and patient compliance with instructions.

What is the best age to get braces?

While 11-14 is ideal due to ongoing jaw growth, there is no upper age limit.

  • Children: Orthodontic screening recommended by age 7
  • Teens: Most common age for treatment (11-14)
  • Adults: Can get braces at any age with healthy gums

Many Gurgaon professionals start treatment in their 30s-50s with excellent results.

Do I actually need braces or is it just cosmetic?

Braces address both functional and aesthetic concerns.

  • Bite problems can cause jaw pain and TMJ disorders
  • Crowding makes cleaning difficult, leading to cavities
  • Misalignment affects chewing efficiency
  • Can prevent uneven tooth wear

An orthodontic evaluation determines if treatment is medically necessary or primarily cosmetic.

Types of Braces

Which braces are least visible?
  • Ceramic braces (tooth-colored)
  • Clear aligners (removable)
  • Self-ligating ceramic systems

Working professionals in Gurgaon often choose aesthetic options due to meetings and public interaction.

Are self-ligating braces better than normal braces?

They are different, not automatically better.

  • Lower friction mechanics
  • Easier hygiene
  • Fewer adjustment visits

Suitability depends on bite complexity and treatment goals.

What are the differences between metal and ceramic braces?
  • Metal: More durable, slightly faster, more visible
  • Ceramic: Tooth-colored, less noticeable, slightly more fragile
  • Both work effectively for most orthodontic issues

Ceramic braces are popular among adults and teens who prioritize aesthetics.

Can clear aligners work as well as braces?

Clear aligners are effective for many cases but not all.

  • Work well for mild to moderate alignment issues
  • Require patient compliance (20-22 hours daily wear)
  • Complex bite corrections may need traditional braces
  • Removable for eating and special occasions

Your orthodontist will assess which option suits your specific needs.

Treatment Process

How often are follow-up visits needed?
  • Usually every 4-6 weeks
  • Self-ligating systems may need fewer visits

Regular visits are important for safe and controlled tooth movement.

Is tooth extraction always required for braces?

No.

  • Many cases are treated without extraction
  • Modern planning uses space management and jaw expansion

Extraction is advised only when clinically unavoidable.

What happens at the first consultation?
  • Visual examination of teeth and bite
  • X-rays and photographs
  • Discussion of treatment options
  • Timeline and plan explanation

You’ll receive a comprehensive assessment and understand what to expect throughout treatment.

What are rubber bands for and do I have to wear them?

Rubber bands (elastics) provide additional force to correct bite issues.

  • Correct overbites, underbites, and crossbites
  • Usually worn 20-23 hours daily
  • Compliance is essential for treatment success
  • Initial discomfort subsides within 2-3 days

Inconsistent wear can significantly prolong your treatment time.

Pain & Discomfort Management

Do braces hurt?

Getting braces placed is painless, but expect soreness afterward.

  • First 3-5 days: Mild to moderate soreness
  • After adjustments: 1-2 days of discomfort
  • Rubbing on cheeks initially (use orthodontic wax)

Over-the-counter pain relievers help manage discomfort. Most patients adapt within a week.

Why do rubber bands hurt more than braces?

Rubber bands apply additional pressure to move teeth and align jaws.

  • Like adding weights to a workout – muscles adapt
  • Discomfort typically lasts 2-3 days
  • Can cause temporary headaches in some patients

Pain management includes over-the-counter medication, soft foods, and orthodontic wax if bands rub.

How can I manage braces pain at home?
  • Take ibuprofen or acetaminophen as directed
  • Use orthodontic wax on irritating brackets
  • Rinse with warm salt water (reduces inflammation)
  • Eat soft foods during sore periods
  • Apply ice packs to outside of cheeks if swollen

Severe or lasting pain should be reported to your orthodontist.

Will my mouth get used to braces?

Yes, most patients fully adapt within 1-2 weeks.

  • Cheeks develop tougher tissue where braces contact them
  • Speaking and eating become natural again
  • You’ll stop noticing them constantly

Each adjustment brings minor soreness that diminishes faster as treatment progresses.

Braces for Adults in Gurgaon

Is it too late to get braces after 30 or 40?

No. Age is not a barrier.

  • Healthy gums are more important than age
  • Adults may take slightly longer than teens

Many patients from Cyber City and Golf Course Road start braces in their 30s-50s.

Will braces affect my professional appearance?

Adult patients have multiple discreet options.

  • Ceramic braces blend with teeth
  • Clear aligners are nearly invisible
  • Many professionals wear braces successfully

Braces are now widely accepted in corporate environments, especially in Gurgaon’s diverse workplace culture.

Do adult braces take longer than braces for teens?

Treatment may take slightly longer but not always.

  • Adult bone is denser, teeth move more slowly
  • May add 3-6 months to treatment time
  • Adults often have better compliance

Many adults complete treatment in the standard 18-24 month timeframe.

Care & Hygiene

Can braces damage teeth?

Braces do not damage teeth if hygiene is maintained.

  • Poor cleaning can cause white spots (decalcification)
  • Regular professional cleaning prevents issues
How do I brush and floss with braces?
  • Brush after every meal for 2-3 minutes
  • Use a soft-bristled or electric toothbrush
  • Angle brush at 45 degrees above and below brackets
  • Use floss threaders or orthodontic flossers daily
  • Consider a water flosser for easier cleaning

Thorough cleaning prevents cavities and ensures braces work effectively.

What foods should I avoid with braces?
  • Hard: Nuts, hard candy, ice, popcorn kernels
  • Sticky: Caramel, chewing gum, sticky sweets
  • Crunchy: Chips, hard pizza crust, hard vegetables
  • Chewy: Bagels, tough meats

These foods can break brackets or bend wires, delaying treatment progress.

Should I see my regular dentist while wearing braces?

Yes, continue regular dental checkups every 6 months.

  • Professional cleanings prevent buildup around brackets
  • Dentist monitors for cavities during treatment
  • Coordinate with your orthodontist

Good dental care supports successful orthodontic treatment.

Retainers & After Treatment

Do I have to wear retainers after braces?

Yes, retainers are essential to maintain your results.

  • Teeth naturally shift throughout life
  • Retainers prevent teeth from moving back
  • Initial wear: Full-time (except when eating)
  • Long-term: Nighttime wear indefinitely

Skipping retainers can undo months of orthodontic work.

How long do I need to wear retainers?

Most orthodontists recommend lifetime nighttime wear.

  • First 3-6 months: Full-time wear
  • After that: Nighttime only
  • Permanent option: Fixed (bonded) retainers behind front teeth

Consistent retainer wear ensures your investment lasts forever.

What happens if I don’t wear my retainer?

Teeth will gradually shift back toward their original positions.

  • Shifting can begin within days of stopping retainer wear
  • May require additional orthodontic treatment
  • Retainer may no longer fit if teeth shift significantly

If you’ve lost or stopped wearing your retainer, contact your orthodontist immediately.

Can teeth shift back even with retainer wear?

Minor shifts can occur due to natural aging and jaw changes.

  • Consistent wear minimizes shifting
  • Wisdom teeth eruption can cause movement
  • Regular orthodontic checkups monitor stability

Following retainer instructions gives you the best chance for permanent results.

What’s the difference between removable and permanent retainers?
  • Removable: Clear plastic or wire retainers worn at night
  • Permanent: Thin wire bonded behind front teeth
  • Many patients use both for maximum stability

Your orthodontist will recommend the best option based on your specific case.

Orthodontic Emergencies

What should I do if a bracket breaks or comes loose?
  • Call your orthodontist to schedule a repair
  • If the bracket is still attached to the wire, leave it
  • Use orthodontic wax to cover sharp edges
  • If the bracket comes off completely, save it and bring to appointment

Don’t delay – loose brackets can slow treatment progress.

My wire is poking my cheek – what can I do?
  • Use clean tweezers to gently push wire back
  • Apply orthodontic wax over the sharp end
  • Use pencil eraser to push wire flat (if clean)
  • Contact your orthodontist if unable to manage

Poking wires are common and usually easy to fix temporarily until your next appointment.

Is a broken bracket a true emergency?

Most broken brackets are not urgent but should be addressed promptly.

  • True emergencies: Severe pain, trauma to mouth, infection
  • Can wait: Loose bracket, poking wire (if manageable with wax)
  • Contact clinic within 24-48 hours for repair

Our Gurgaon clinics accommodate emergency appointments when needed.

What if I swallow a bracket or rubber band?

Don’t panic – swallowing orthodontic pieces is usually harmless.

  • Small pieces pass through digestive system naturally
  • Contact orthodontist to replace the piece
  • Seek medical attention only if experiencing pain or breathing difficulty

Lifestyle with Braces

Can I play sports with braces?

Yes, you can participate in all sports activities.

  • Always wear a mouthguard for contact sports
  • Special orthodontic mouthguards are available
  • Protect your investment and prevent injuries

Many professional athletes wear braces during their careers.

Will braces affect my speech?

Minor speech changes are temporary and resolve quickly.

  • First few days: Slight lisp or difficulty with certain sounds
  • Most patients adjust within 1-2 weeks
  • Practice speaking to accelerate adaptation

Reading aloud helps your tongue adapt to braces faster.

Can I kiss with braces?

Yes, braces don’t prevent kissing or intimacy.

  • Be gentle initially as you adapt
  • Braces won’t get locked together (this is a myth)
  • Maintain good oral hygiene for fresh breath

Millions of people with braces maintain normal romantic relationships.

Can I sing or play a musical instrument with braces?

Yes, with an adjustment period.

  • Wind instruments: May need 1-2 weeks to adapt
  • Singing: Minor adjustment period, then normal
  • Use orthodontic wax during practice if needed

Many professional musicians have worn braces successfully.

Will I be able to eat normally with braces?

Yes, after initial adjustment you can eat most foods.

  • First week: Stick to soft foods
  • After adjustment: Most foods OK with modifications
  • Cut hard foods into smaller pieces
