Orthodontics & Teeth Alignment in Wakad – Braces and Invisalign at Narhare Dental Clinic

The ideal choice balances your clinical needs, aesthetic preferences, lifestyle, and budget. Traditional metal braces are versatile and economical; ceramic braces offer discretion; self-ligating systems may reduce visits; lingual braces hide completely behind teeth; and clear aligners provide removable, nearly invisible treatment. After comprehensive records and examination, we'll present a personalized shortlist with detailed pros, cons, and transparent pricing.

Most cases complete within 10–20 months, though complex corrections may require longer. Treatment duration depends on case complexity, your biology, appliance type, and compliance with instructions. Aligner patients must wear trays 20-22 hours daily, while braces patients need consistent appointment attendance. We review progress at every visit and adjust timelines as needed.

Modern orthodontic treatment is much more comfortable than in the past. Expect mild soreness for 2–3 days after initial placement and adjustments as teeth begin moving. This is completely normal and manageable with soft foods, warm salt-water rinses, and over-the-counter pain relief if needed. Discomfort significantly decreases as you adapt to your appliances.

Yes, with some sensible modifications. Braces patients should avoid very hard, sticky, or chewy foods that can damage brackets. Cut crunchy foods into smaller pieces and chew carefully. Clear aligner patients can eat normally—just remove trays for meals, brush teeth, and reinsert clean aligners. We provide detailed dietary guidelines and emergency care instructions for every appliance type.

Braces typically require adjustments every 4–8 weeks, while clear aligner patients visit every 6–10 weeks for progress monitoring and new aligner delivery. We're flexible with scheduling for students and working professionals, offering evening and weekend appointments. Emergency visits are always available for urgent issues like broken brackets or lost aligners.

Clear aligners are highly effective for most crowding and spacing cases and are particularly popular with adults seeking discrete treatment. Complex tooth movements, severe rotations, or significant bite corrections may still be more predictable with traditional braces. During consultation, we'll evaluate your specific case and recommend the most effective treatment option based on your clinical needs and goals.

Extractions are only recommended when absolutely necessary for optimal results. We first explore all conservative alternatives including palatal expansion and interproximal reduction to create needed space. If extractions are recommended, we'll explain the clinical rationale and how removing specific teeth contributes to facial balance, bite stability, and long-term oral health.
