What Is Orthodontic Treatment?

Orthodontic treatment is the branch of dentistry focused on diagnosing and correcting misaligned teeth and jaws using appliances like braces or clear aligners. It gradually moves teeth into proper position, improving both appearance and function  including how you bite, chew, and speak. Treatment can address crowding, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites in both children and adults.

Signs You May Need Orthodontic Treatment

Simply wanting a straighter, more confident smile

Types of Orthodontic Treatment We Offer

The most well-established and cost-effective option, using metal brackets and wires to gradually move teeth into position. Ideal for complex cases requiring precise control over tooth movement.
Work the same way as metal braces but use tooth-coloured brackets that blend in more naturally — a popular choice for teens and adults who want effective treatment with a more discreet look.
A series of custom-made, virtually invisible aligner trays that gradually shift teeth without brackets or wires. Removable for eating and brushing, making it a favourite among working professionals.
Beyond Invisalign, we also offer alternative clear aligner systems, giving patients flexibility to choose an option that matches their budget and treatment complexity.
For children, early evaluation can identify developing bite issues before they become more complex, sometimes reducing the need for more extensive treatment later. See our Kids Dentistry page for age-specific guidance.
After active treatment, custom retainers help maintain your new smile and prevent teeth from gradually shifting back to their original position.

The Orthodontic Treatment Process: Step by Step

A structured treatment journey designed to gradually align your teeth, improve your bite and maintain your results long-term.

01

Consultation & Digital Scan

Your orthodontist examines your teeth and bite, and takes digital scans or X-rays to assess the exact nature of misalignment.

02

Treatment Planning

Based on your scan, we recommend the most suitable option (braces, Invisalign, or clear aligners) along with an estimated timeline and cost breakdown.

03

Appliance Fitting

For braces, brackets and wires are bonded to your teeth. For clear aligners, you receive your first set of custom-fitted trays.

04

Regular Adjustments / Tray Changes

Braces require periodic in-clinic adjustments to tighten wires, while clear aligners are typically changed at home every 1–2 weeks as directed.

05

Progress Monitoring

Your orthodontist tracks your progress throughout treatment, making adjustments to the plan if needed to keep results on track.

06

Debonding / Final Tray

Once your teeth reach the desired position, braces are removed, or you complete your final aligner tray.

07

Retention Phase

A custom retainer is provided to maintain your new smile long-term and prevent relapse.

Benefits of Straightening Your Teeth

Improved appearance and smile confidence
Easier to clean teeth properly, reducing decay and gum disease risk
Better bite function for chewing and speech
Reduced strain on jaw joints from bite misalignment
Prevents uneven wear on teeth caused by poor alignment
Can address issues before they become more complex or costly to treat

Is Invisalign as Effective as Traditional Braces?

For many mild-to-moderate cases, clear aligners like Invisalign can achieve results comparable to traditional braces, with the added benefit of being removable and far less visible. However, complex bite corrections or significant tooth rotation may still be better suited to traditional braces, which offer more direct mechanical control over tooth movement. During your consultation, our orthodontist will assess your specific case and honestly recommend the option most likely to give you the best result — not simply the most popular one.

Orthodontic Treatment for Adults

It’s a common myth that braces are only for teenagers. A growing number of our orthodontic patients are adults who either never had treatment earlier in life or experienced shifting teeth over time. Discreet options like ceramic braces and clear aligners have made it easier than ever for working professionals to straighten their teeth without it affecting their daily or professional life.

Aftercare Tips During Orthodontic Treatment

Maintain thorough brushing and flossing — braces and aligner-wearers are more prone to plaque buildup if hygiene slips.
Avoid hard, sticky, or chewy foods if you have traditional braces, as they can damage brackets and wires.
Wear clear aligners for the recommended 20–22 hours per day for treatment to stay on track.
Attend all scheduled adjustment or check-up appointments — skipping these can delay your results.
Use orthodontic wax if brackets or wires cause irritation to your cheeks or lips.
Wear your retainer exactly as instructed after treatment ends to protect your results long-term.

Cost of Orthodontic Treatment in Medavakkam, Chennai

The cost of orthodontic treatment depends on the type of appliance chosen (braces, Invisalign, or other clear aligners), the complexity and duration of your case, and whether early interceptive treatment is involved. During your consultation, we provide a clear, itemised estimate so you can plan your treatment with full confidence — along with guidance on available payment options.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Find answers to common questions about braces, Invisalign, clear aligners and orthodontic treatment.

Braces use fixed brackets and wires bonded to your teeth, while Invisalign uses a series of removable, virtually invisible clear trays. Braces generally suit more complex cases, while Invisalign is popular for mild-to-moderate corrections and its discreet appearance.
Treatment duration depends on the complexity of your case, ranging from several months for minor corrections to a couple of years for more complex bite issues. Your orthodontist will give you a personalised timeline after your initial assessment.
For mild to moderate misalignment, Invisalign can be just as effective as traditional braces. More complex cases involving significant rotation or bite correction may still benefit from traditional braces for greater mechanical control.
Many dental associations recommend an initial orthodontic evaluation around age 7, when early signs of bite or crowding issues can be identified even while some baby teeth are still present.
Yes. There's no upper age limit for orthodontic treatment, and a significant portion of our patients are adults seeking to correct issues that were never treated earlier or that developed over time.
