Straighten your teeth and transform your smile with modern orthodontic solutions
Orthodontics is a specialised branch of dentistry dedicated to diagnosing, preventing, and correcting misaligned teeth and jaws. Crooked, crowded, or improperly spaced teeth are not just a cosmetic concern -- they can also lead to difficulty in cleaning, increased risk of cavities and gum disease, uneven wear, jaw pain, and speech difficulties.
At Dr. Shrey Suri's Specialist Dental Clinic in Gurugram, we offer a full range of orthodontic treatments for children, teenagers, and adults. Using the latest technology and evidence-based techniques, we create personalised treatment plans that deliver beautiful, functional results. Whether you prefer traditional braces or virtually invisible aligners, we have a solution that fits your lifestyle and goals.
Metal braces remain the most effective and versatile orthodontic solution for correcting complex alignment issues. Today's metal braces are smaller, more comfortable, and more efficient than ever before. Stainless steel brackets are bonded to each tooth and connected by a thin archwire that applies gentle, continuous pressure to gradually move teeth into their ideal positions. They are an excellent choice for patients of all ages, especially for severe crowding, spacing, and bite problems.
Ceramic braces function exactly like metal braces but use clear or tooth-coloured brackets that blend with your natural teeth. They offer the same precise control and effectiveness as metal braces while being far less noticeable. Ceramic braces are a popular choice among adults and image-conscious teenagers who want effective treatment with a more discreet appearance.
Clear aligners are a series of custom-made, virtually invisible, removable trays that gradually shift your teeth into place. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks before progressing to the next set. They are removable for eating, brushing, and flossing, making oral hygiene easy to maintain. Clear aligners are ideal for mild to moderate alignment issues and are extremely popular among adults and professionals who want to straighten their teeth without anyone noticing.
Self-ligating braces use a specialised clip mechanism instead of elastic bands to hold the archwire in place. This reduces friction, allows for faster tooth movement, and means fewer adjustment appointments. They are available in both metal and ceramic options and are known for being more comfortable with shorter treatment times compared to traditional braces.
After active orthodontic treatment is complete, retainers are essential to maintain your new smile. We provide both fixed (bonded behind the teeth) and removable retainers to prevent teeth from shifting back to their original positions. Consistent retainer use is key to preserving your results for life.
Your journey begins with a comprehensive evaluation including digital X-rays, photographs, and dental impressions or 3D scans. Dr. Suri analyses your teeth, jaw, and facial structure to identify the specific issues and discuss your goals.
A detailed treatment plan is created outlining the recommended approach, expected timeline, and projected results. For clear aligner cases, a digital simulation allows you to preview your smile transformation before treatment begins.
Braces are placed or aligner trays are provided. Regular follow-up visits (every 4 to 8 weeks) are scheduled to monitor progress, make adjustments, and ensure treatment is on track. You will see gradual improvements at each appointment.
Once your teeth have reached their desired positions, braces are removed and retainers are provided. This critical phase ensures your beautiful new smile stays in place permanently.
Orthodontic treatment can benefit anyone with alignment or bite issues, regardless of age. Common conditions treated include:
Treatment duration depends on the complexity of the case. Mild alignment issues with clear aligners may take 6 to 12 months, while more complex cases with braces can take 18 to 30 months. During your consultation, Dr. Suri will provide an estimated timeline specific to your treatment plan.
Absolutely not. There is no upper age limit for orthodontic treatment. An increasing number of adults are choosing to straighten their teeth, and modern options like ceramic braces and clear aligners make treatment discreet and convenient. As long as your teeth and gums are healthy, orthodontic treatment can be successful at any age.
You may experience some mild discomfort or pressure for a few days after braces are placed and following each adjustment appointment. This is completely normal and indicates that your teeth are moving. The discomfort is manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers and typically subsides within 3 to 5 days. Modern braces are designed to be more comfortable than ever.
You can enjoy most foods with braces, but certain items should be avoided to prevent damage to the brackets and wires. These include hard foods (nuts, hard candy, ice), sticky foods (caramel, toffee, chewing gum), and very crunchy foods. We will provide a detailed dietary guide when your braces are placed. With clear aligners, there are no food restrictions since the trays are removed before eating.
For braces, adjustment appointments are typically scheduled every 4 to 6 weeks. For clear aligner treatment, check-up visits are usually every 6 to 8 weeks to monitor progress and provide new aligner sets. Consistent attendance is important to keep your treatment on schedule and achieve the best results within the projected timeline.
Braces use brackets and wires fixed to the teeth and are ideal for all types of orthodontic issues, including complex cases. Invisalign uses a series of removable clear trays and is best suited for mild to moderate alignment concerns. Braces offer more precise control for severe cases, while Invisalign offers the advantage of being virtually invisible and removable. Dr. Suri will recommend the best option based on your specific needs.
