Braces & orthodontics

Teeth that line up,
in their own time.

Braces for children and adults — planned with a visiting orthodontist, adjusted monthly, here in Kolagappara.

The idea

What braces do.

Braces guide teeth gently into place over months, a little at a time. Crowding eases, gaps close, bites settle — and teeth that sit well are easier to clean and keep for life.

Your options

Metal, ceramic, or clear.

Metal bracesThe familiar kind — sturdy, reliable, and the one most children wear.
Ceramic bracesTooth-coloured brackets that sit quietly on the teeth.
Self-ligating bracesBrackets that hold the wire without ties — often fewer adjustments.
Clear alignersRemovable, nearly invisible trays for suitable cases. See aligners

We don't push one over another. The right choice depends on your teeth, your age and your day-to-day — and the orthodontist walks you through it.

Your orthodontist visits Auralis on fixed days, once or twice a month — so your plan is made by a specialist, and your adjustments happen close to home.

Dr. Sneha sees you first; the orthodontist plans and places the braces.
The journey

What happens.

1

A first look with Dr. Sneha

A check and an X-ray. If braces make sense, we book you into the orthodontist's next visit.

2

The orthodontist's plan

What will move, how long it will take, and which kind of braces suits you — explained before anything begins.

3

Braces go on

Fitted in one sitting. A few days of getting used to them, then they fade into the background.

4

Monthly adjustments

A short visit each month, for about 18 to 24 months. Then a retainer keeps everything where it should be.

Honest answers

What people ask us.

When should a child first be seen?

Around age seven. The adult teeth are coming in and the jaw is still growing, so early guidance is simplest. Older is fine too — nothing is missed by waiting a little.

Am I too old for braces?

No. Adults do well with braces as long as the gums and bone are healthy — we check both first.

How long will it take?

Most cases take 18 to 24 months, with a short adjustment visit each month. Your plan will say.

Will it hurt?

Some tenderness for a few days after each adjustment — soft food, and it settles. Nothing sharp.

Braces or aligners?

Either, when both suit the case. Aligners are removable and nearly invisible; braces handle more complex movements. We'll say which is honest for your teeth.

Who treats me?

Dr. Sneha sees you first. The braces themselves are planned and placed by a visiting orthodontist (MDS) who comes to the clinic on fixed days.
