Braces and Aligners FAQs

What is the difference between braces and clear aligners?

Braces use brackets and wires fixed to your teeth, while clear aligners are removable plastic trays. Braces suit a wider range of cases, and aligners are less noticeable and easier to clean around. Your evaluation decides which is better for you.

How long does orthodontic treatment take?

Most treatments take between 12 and 24 months, though simple cases can be shorter and complex ones longer. Your dentist gives an estimated timeline after the evaluation and X-rays.

Are braces painful?

Braces and aligners can cause pressure and mild soreness for a few days after fitting and after adjustments. This usually settles on its own and can be managed with soft food and pain relief advised by your dentist.

What age is suitable for braces?

There is no upper age limit. Many children start between 10 and 14, once most permanent teeth have come in, but adults with healthy teeth and gums can get braces or aligners too.

Can clear aligners fix all alignment problems?

Clear aligners work well for many cases of mild to moderate crowding, gaps and bite problems. Complex cases may need braces. We confirm which option suits your teeth after an examination.

How do I choose an orthodontist in Thane?

Look for a dentist registered with the Dental Council of India and trained in orthodontics, check their experience with cases like yours, and ask for a clear plan and cost. At Dr Rai’s Dental Avenue, every case starts with a detailed evaluation.

How do I take care of braces and aligners?

Brush after meals, floss daily and avoid sticky or hard foods if you wear braces. Clean aligners daily and wear them as advised. Read our guide on caring for braces and clear aligners.

Will I need to wear retainers?

Yes. Teeth can slowly move back after treatment, so retainers are needed to hold the new position. Your dentist will tell you how long and how often to wear them.

Can I get braces if I have missing teeth or fillings?

Often yes. Missing teeth, fillings and crowns do not usually stop orthodontic treatment, but gum disease or active decay should be treated first. An examination confirms this.

How much do braces cost in Thane?

The cost depends on the type of treatment, the complexity of your case and how long it takes. Metal braces, ceramic braces and clear aligners are priced differently. After an examination, we share a clear estimate for your case.
