Braces / Brackets
Achieve a perfectly aligned, confident smile with advanced orthodontic treatments at Allure Dental Care and Implant Centre in Belapur, Navi Mumbai. Led by Dr. Avinash Chougule, our clinic specializes in comprehensive bite correction and teeth-straightening solutions using modern braces and brackets tailored for patients of all ages.
Why Choose Braces for Teeth Realignment?
Misaligned teeth, crowded arches, and bad bites (malocclusions) can impact more than just your appearance—they can affect your oral hygiene, speech, and jaw health. Traditional and modern brackets apply gentle, continuous pressure to guide your teeth into their ideal position safely and effectively.
Metal braces/Traditional braces
These are the metal Braces brackets and wires that most people picture when they hear the word “braces.” However, modern brackets are smaller and less noticeable than the notorious “metal-mouth” braces that many adults remember. Plus, new heat-activated archwires use your body heat to help teeth move more quickly and less painfully than in the past.
Pros: Least expensive type; colored bands give kids a chance to express themselves
Cons: Most noticeable type of braces
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces are the same size and shape as metal braces, except that they have tooth-colored or clear Braces brackets that blend in to teeth. Some even use tooth-colored wires to be even less noticeable.
Pros: Less noticeable than metal braces; move teeth much faster than clear plastic aligners (Invisalign)
Cons: More expensive than metal braces; can stain easily if patients don’t care for them well
Lingual Braces
Lingual braces are the same as traditional metal braces, except that the Braces brackets and wires are placed on the inside of teeth.
Pros: Invisible from outside
Cons: Difficult to clean; more expensive; not appropriate for severe cases; can be more uncomfortable at first; regular adjustments take longer and are more difficult than with traditional braces
