How do braces and aligners work?
Braces are fixed orthodontic appliances—metal or ceramic brackets with wires—that move teeth gradually. They work continuously because they stay on. Retainers afterwards keep the result.
Who may need it?
Crowding, spacing, bite problems and some jaw discrepancies are managed with orthodontics. Appearance can improve, but the bite and gum health are part of the goal.
Starting in Airoli
Expect photographs, impressions or scans, and X-rays as needed. Wisdom teeth and gum health are checked because they affect planning.
During treatment
Keep brackets clean. Broken braces should be reported rather than ignored.
Common signs people notice
- Crowded or spaced teeth
- Bite that does not meet evenly
- Adult teeth coming in rotated
- Relapse after previous orthodontics without retainers

Braces are fixed orthodontic appliances—metal or ceramic brackets with wires—that move teeth gradually. They work continuously because they stay on. Retainers afterwards keep the result.
Photographs, models or scans, and X-rays as needed. Hygiene must be realistic. Broken brackets add months. Retainers are not optional extras.
Children in mixed dentition may need interceptive timing. Comprehensive braces often start when most adult teeth have erupted. Adults with healthy gums can be treated; bone remodels more slowly.
Brush around every bracket. Avoid hard sticky foods. Wear retainers as prescribed.
What Happens During Treatment?
-
What bothers you and whether gums are ready is discussed.
-
Decay and periodontitis are treated before moving teeth.
-
X-rays as needed for roots and unerupted teeth.
-
Metal versus ceramic, extractions if required, and time ranges—not a guaranteed finish date.
-
Fitting, adjustments, and emergency visits for pokes or breakages.
-
Retainers. Relapse is common without them.
What should I expect after treatment?
Soft foods for a day or two after each adjustment. Wax for ulcers.
Things to Consider
Individual dental condition
There is no single best age for every person.
Preparation
A full clean and any fillings first. Budget time for longer fit visits.
Things that can affect the plan
• White-spot decay if hygiene is poor • Root shortening if movement is excessive • Relapse • Discomfort after tightening
Common mistakes to avoid
• Skipping retainers • Whitening aggressively with brackets still on without advice • Ignoring gum bleeding during treatment
Follow-up and home care
Brush around every bracket. Avoid hard sticky foods. Wear retainers as prescribed.
Cost factors
Fees at The Dental Hut are quoted after examination. They vary with records, materials, laboratory work and the number of visits.
When Should You Consult a Dentist?
Crowding, bite concerns, or a child whose adult teeth are erupting awkwardly. Pain from a broken wire should not wait for the next routine visit if it is cutting the cheek.
