Braces are not just for teenagers
One in four orthodontic patients today is an adult. Teeth move at any age, and a bite that has bothered you for twenty years can still be corrected. What changes as an adult is the planning: bone is denser, some teeth may have crowns or fillings, and the result has to last. That is exactly where a specialist earns their keep.
Your options
-
Metal braces: The most affordable and the most powerful. Modern brackets are smaller than the ones you remember.
-
Ceramic braces: Tooth-coloured brackets that are far less visible. The same precision, a quieter look.
-
Not sure? Some adult cases suit aligners and some do not. The consultation tells you which honestly, not which sells better.
Some jobs need wires
Deep bites, rotated teeth, large gaps, and teeth that need to move up or down rather than sideways are where fixed braces still outperform aligners. If a chain tells you aligners can fix everything, ask who planned the case. Dr. Srishti will tell you plainly if your teeth need braces, and why.
How it works
-
Consultation and 3D scan. We assess your bite, take digital records, and explain what is possible.
-
A plan you can see. You get a clear treatment plan, timeline, and fixed quote before anything is fitted.
-
Fitting. Brackets are bonded in one visit. Expect a few days of adjustment.
-
Reviews every four to six weeks. Same specialist, every time, so nothing drifts.
-
Retainers. The result is protected once the braces come off.
Fixed quote, no surprises
Braces start from ₹40,000. Metal braces are the most affordable option; ceramic costs more for the discretion. Your quote is fixed after the consultation and includes reviews and retainers. Your orthodontic consultation with 3D scan is ₹499.

Frequently asked questions
Am I too old for braces?
No. Healthy teeth and gums can be moved at any age. Our oldest orthodontic patients are in their fifties and sixties.
How long will it take?
Most adult cases take 12 to 24 months. Complex bites can take longer. You get an exact estimate at your consultation.
Will they be visible?
Metal braces are visible. Ceramic braces are much less so. If invisibility is the priority, ask whether your case suits clear aligners.
Does it hurt?
Expect soreness for a few days after fitting and after each adjustment. It is manageable and settles quickly.
