Braces & aligners FAQs
How much do braces cost in Kolkata?
The cost depends on the appliance chosen — metal, ceramic, self-ligating braces or clear aligners — and on how much correction your teeth need. After a clinical examination and X-ray, we share a written, transparent estimate before treatment begins.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
Most cases take 12–24 months, with review visits roughly every 4–6 weeks. Mild crowding or spacing can finish sooner. The exact duration is confirmed only after the orthodontist assesses your teeth and jaw relation.
Are braces painful?
Fitting braces is not painful. You may feel mild soreness and pressure for 2–3 days after fitting or tightening, which settles on its own and is easily managed with soft food and routine medication.
What is the right age for braces?
Children should have an orthodontic check by around 8–10 years so growth can be guided early. That said, healthy teeth and gums matter more than age — adults in their 30s, 40s and beyond are treated successfully every day.
Braces or clear aligners — which should I choose?
Braces are fixed and handle complex bite corrections predictably. Clear aligners are removable and nearly invisible, ideal for mild to moderate cases and adults who prefer discretion. We recommend the option that suits your case and lifestyle.
Do I need to wear retainers after braces?
Yes. Retainers hold your corrected teeth in their new position while the surrounding bone stabilises. Skipping retainers is the most common reason teeth relapse after treatment.
