Orthodontic Treatment

Orthodontic Treatment at Dental Comfort Zone: At a Glance

What Is Orthodontic Treatment?

Orthodontic treatment is dental care that moves teeth into the right position to straighten crooked teeth, close gaps and correct bite problems. Braces or clear aligners apply gentle, steady pressure over months so the teeth shift gradually. A well-aligned smile looks better, is easier to clean and chews more comfortably. Orthodontic treatment can be done for children, teenagers and adults.

Do You Need Orthodontic Treatment?

You may benefit from braces or aligners if you have:

• Crooked or crowded teeth

• Gaps between teeth

• Overbite, underbite, crossbite or open bite

• Difficulty chewing

• Jaw discomfort from an uneven bite

• Teeth that are hard to clean

Common causes include genetics, thumb sucking in childhood, early or late loss of baby teeth, mouth breathing, jaw growth problems and injury. Only an examination and X-rays can tell you whether treatment is right for you.

When Treatment May Need to Wait

We treat untreated cavities, active gum disease and poor oral hygiene first. Some medical conditions may need clearance before treatment. Our general dentistry and gum treatment teams can help you get ready.

Orthodontic Treatment Cost in Patna

Orthodontic treatment at Dental Comfort Zone costs ₹45,000 to ₹1,50,000 or more for a full case, depending on the type of braces or aligners. Prices are as of October 2026.

The final cost depends on the complexity of your case, how long treatment takes and the type of appliance. Lingual braces are priced after examination. You receive a written treatment plan with the expected duration and cost before you begin. Retainer charges: [confirm whether the first retainers are included and add the answer here].

Metal Braces vs Ceramic Braces vs Clear Aligners

The right choice depends on your bite, your teeth and your lifestyle. Your orthodontist will explain which options suit you and why.

Types of Orthodontic Treatment

• Metal braces: strong and reliable, suitable for mild to severe alignment problems.

• Ceramic braces: work like metal braces but use tooth-coloured brackets.

• Lingual braces: fixed to the back of the teeth, so almost invisible from the front.

• Clear aligners (invisible braces): transparent removable trays that move teeth step by step.

• Retainers: worn after treatment to hold teeth in their new position.

What Can Orthodontic Treatment Correct?

Crooked teeth, crowding, gaps, rotated or overlapping teeth, overbite, underbite, crossbite, open bite and deep bite. It also supports smile correction and better bite function. For whitening or other aesthetic work alongside alignment, see our cosmetic dentistry services.

Orthodontic Treatment Step by Step

1. Initial consultation: the orthodontist examines your teeth, bite and jaw and listens to your goals.

2. Clinical examination: we check crooked teeth, crowding, gaps, bite and overall oral health.

3. Digital X-rays and smile assessment: X-rays, photographs and scans show tooth position and jaw structure.

4. Treatment planning: you get a personalised plan with the recommended braces or aligners, expected duration and cost.

5. Braces or aligner placement: braces are fixed to your teeth, or custom aligners are fitted and explained.

6. Regular adjustments: every 4-8 weeks we adjust braces or provide new aligners and track progress.

7. Retainer phase: retainers keep your teeth in place after treatment.

How Long Does Orthodontic Treatment Take?

Braces usually take 12-24 months and clear aligners 6-18 months. The exact time depends on how far your teeth need to move, your age and how well you follow instructions, such as wearing aligners for the advised hours and keeping your appointments.

Comfort, Aftercare and Food Tips

• Mild soreness is common after braces are fitted or adjusted and usually settles within a few days.

• Soft foods, cold drinks and pain relief advised by your dentist can help.

• Avoid sticky candy, chewing gum, popcorn, hard nuts and ice, which can damage braces.

• Brush after meals, floss carefully and use any cleaning tools your orthodontist recommends.

• Keep regular teeth scaling and cleaning visits during treatment to protect your gums.

• Call us if a bracket or wire breaks or causes irritation.

Risks and Long-Term Care

Orthodontic treatment is generally safe. Possible problems include temporary soreness, mouth irritation and broken brackets. Poor hygiene during treatment can lead to cavities and gum disease. After treatment, wear your retainers as advised, because teeth can move back without them.

Orthodontic Treatment for Children, Teens and Adults

• Children: an early check-up around age 7 lets the dentist watch jaw growth and tooth development. Our pediatric dentistry team can help.

• Teenagers: braces are commonly started in the early teenage years, once most permanent teeth have come in.

• Adults: braces and aligners work at any age if teeth and gums are healthy. If you are missing teeth, your orthodontist may plan alongside dental implants or crowns and bridges.

Technology We Use

We use digital X-rays, intraoral scanners, digital smile assessment and computer-assisted treatment planning for precise diagnosis and planning.
