What Are Braces or Clear Aligners?
Braces are fixed appliances that apply gentle, continuous pressure to move teeth into ideal positions over time. They consist of brackets bonded to each tooth, connected by wires and elastic bands.
Clear aligners are a series of custom-made, virtually invisible trays that gradually shift teeth. You simply wear each tray for 1–2 weeks before progressing to the next, with no wires or brackets visible.
Who Needs Braces or Clear Aligners
- Crooked, crowded, or gapped teeth
- Overbite, underbite, crossbite, or open bite
- Difficulty chewing or speaking clearly
- Jaw pain due to misalignment
- Desire for a more confident smile for major life events
Braces vs. Clear Aligners
Visibility: Braces are noticeable; aligners are discreet.
Comfort: Aligners have smooth edges; braces may irritate lips initially.
Compliance: Aligners require 20–22 hrs/day wear and removal for eating; braces work continuously.
Treatment Range: Braces handle complex movements; aligners excel in mild–moderate cases.
Maintenance: Braces need special tools for cleaning; aligners are removed for brushing and flossing.
Procedure for Braces and Aligners
A step by step overview of your orthodontic journey.
01. Digital Scan
We assess your bite, facial profile, and treatment goals with a 3D intraoral scan—no messy impressions.
02. Personalised Treatment Plan
We map tooth movements using advanced software (for aligners) or bracket placement guides (for braces).
03. Appliance Placement
For Braces brackets are bonded, archwires inserted, and elastic ties placed. For aligners your first set of trays is delivered with wearing instructions.
04. Adjustment and Monitoring Visits
Every 4–8 weeks, we tighten wires or provide new aligner sets—tracking progress and ensuring comfort.
05. Mid-Treatment Check
Around halfway through, we verify tooth movement with scans/radiographs and adjust the plan if needed.
06. Finishing and Detailing
Final wire bends (for braces) or refinement aligners (for clear trays) perfect your smile alignment and bite.
07. Retention Phase
Once active treatment ends, we fit custom retainers (fixed or removable) to hold teeth in position for life.
Benefits of Braces or Aligners
Aesthetic Transformation: Enjoy a straighter smile that boosts confidence in personal and professional life.
Improved Oral Health: Properly aligned teeth reduce risk of decay, gum disease, and jaw strain.
Long-Term Stability: With retainers and follow-ups, your new smile stays beautifully aligned.
Tailored Comfort: Options to suit lifestyle, age, and cosmetic preferences.
Maintenance for Braces and Aligners
Braces Care: Use interdental brushes and special floss threaders to clean around brackets. Avoid sticky or hard foods.
Aligner Care: Rinse trays with lukewarm water and a gentle brush; wear 20–22 hours daily.
Oral Hygiene: Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste; floss every evening.
Regular Check-ups: Continue half-yearly dental cleanings and retention reviews at our Varanasi clinic.
Your Questions Answered, Simple and Clear

Traditional metal braces cost ₹45,000 to ₹75,000. Ceramic or self-ligating braces range from ₹55,000 to ₹1,00,000. Clear aligners start at ₹80,000 and can go up to ₹3,00,000 depending on the brand and complexity.
Most patients finish treatment in 18-24 months, though minor corrections may wrap up in a year and complex cases can stretch past 30 months.
You may feel mild pressure for three to five days after placement or adjustment; over-the-counter pain relief and soft foods control discomfort, and the sensation fades as teeth adapt.
Aligners correct many crowding and spacing issues, but severe rotations or jaw discrepancies may still need fixed braces for precise control. We assess each smile before recommending a plan.
Plan on a review every four to eight weeks so we can tighten wires, monitor progress, or issue your next set of aligners.
Yes. Teeth naturally drift, so we supply retainers to hold your new alignment; wearing them as instructed keeps your result stable.
Clear aligners win on appearance and removability, yet braces often cost less and tackle tougher movements; we explain both routes so you can choose what fits your goals and budget.
