Crooked teeth aren't just about looks — they wear unevenly, trap plaque, and can strain the jaw. Orthodontics moves teeth into the position they were meant to hold.
Whether you choose classic braces or nearly invisible aligners, treatment at Prasanna Dental Care is planned tooth-by-tooth and monitored at every visit.
Know your options

DiscreetCeramic Braces
Tooth-coloured brackets that blend in while they work.
Nearly invisibleClear Aligners
Custom transparent trays, changed every few weeks.
The right age to start
First check at age 7 — Early evaluation can guide erupting teeth into place — sometimes avoiding braces entirely.
The classic window: 10–14 — Adult teeth are in and the jaw is still growing — treatment is quickest here.
Adults: absolutely — Healthy teeth can be moved at any age — aligners make it discreet enough for any profession.
Braces or aligners?
Braces are fixed, work around the clock and handle the most complex movements. Aligners are removable, nearly invisible and kinder to cheeks and gums — but they only work while you wear them, 20–22 hours a day.
The honest answer depends on your teeth, your discipline and your lifestyle — which is exactly what the first consultation settles.
Living with orthodontics
Keep it clean — Brushing and flossing matter double while teeth are moving.
Mind the menu — With braces, skip the sticky and rock-hard; with aligners, simply take them out to eat.
Keep your visits — Each adjustment is a scheduled step in the plan — missing one stretches the timeline.
Retain the result — Retainers after treatment keep your new smile exactly where it finished.
