Assessed Before Anything Is Recommended
The bite and the spacing are examined first, so what you're offered fits your case rather than a price list.
Assessment first
Braces or Clear Aligners in Tambaram?
Braces and clear aligners, assessed before anything is recommended. You'll leave the first consultation knowing which suits you, how long it takes and what it costs.
The decision people put off for years
Most people don't delay braces because of the treatment. They delay because nobody's told them what it involves.
Every clinic offers braces. Almost none tell you which type is right for you before you've paid.
You get quoted a price for metal braces at one clinic and aligners at another, with no explanation of why one suits your case and the other doesn't. So the decision gets postponed another year.
- × Quoted a price before anyone assessed the bite
- × No clear answer on how long it will take
- × Aligners recommended for cases that need braces

Retainers Included in the Plan
Straightening is only half of it. The retention plan is discussed before treatment begins, not after.
Results that hold
Adults too
Braces aren't only for teenagers
Adult orthodontics is now a large share of treatment, and clear aligners make it far less visible than it used to be. The assessment is the same either way.
You'll know your options after one appointment.

Start when you're ready
Fitting, then scheduled adjustment visits through treatment, and a retainer plan at the end.
It depends on the appliance and how complex the case is — braces and clear aligners sit at different price points, and treatment length affects the total. You get a written figure at the assessment.
Most cases run between several months and a couple of years, depending on how much movement is needed. You'll get an estimate specific to your case at the assessment rather than a general range.
Sometimes. Aligners handle many cases well but not all of them — complex bite corrections often still need fixed braces. The assessment tells you which category yours falls into.
No. Teeth move at any age. Treatment can take a little longer in adults, and clear aligners are a common choice for that reason.
There's an adjustment period of a few days with any appliance. Aligners are removed for eating; fixed braces mean avoiding some hard and sticky foods.
You wear a retainer. Teeth drift back without one, so the retention plan is part of the treatment plan from the start.
