Braces & Aligners at MaxWhite Dental Clinic, Dilshad Garden
At MaxWhite Dental Clinic in Dilshad Garden, we offer a complete range of orthodontic solutions to correct crooked, crowded, rotated, or spaced teeth. From time-tested metal braces to discreet ceramic braces and virtually invisible aligners, we design treatment plans that improve the health, function and appearance of your smile.
Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces remain one of the most reliable and cost-effective orthodontic options. Made of high-quality stainless steel brackets and archwires, they gently guide your teeth into proper alignment. Elastic bands (ligatures) hold the wire in place, and you can choose clear or tooth-coloured elastics for a subtler look — or bright colours to express your style.
Ceramic (Clear) Braces
Ceramic braces work the same way as metal braces but are made with tooth-coloured materials that blend naturally with your smile. They’re less noticeable than metal braces and a great choice for patients who prefer a more discreet option. Because ceramic brackets are slightly more delicate, they require a little extra care.
Self-Ligating Braces
Self-ligating braces resemble traditional braces but use a built-in clip system instead of elastic bands to hold the archwire. This can reduce friction, make adjustments faster, and may shorten overall treatment time.
Clear Aligners (Invisalign® & ClearCorrect®)
Clear aligners, often called “invisible braces,” straighten teeth without brackets or wires. They consist of a series of custom-made, removable trays that you change approximately every two weeks. Worn for about 22 hours a day, aligners are removed for eating, drinking and oral hygiene — offering maximum comfort and convenience. They’re ideal for many mild to moderate orthodontic cases.
Who Can Benefit from Braces or Aligners?
Orthodontic treatment works for both children and adults. The most effective age is usually between 9 and 14 years when jawbones are still developing, but adult braces and aligners are also highly successful (treatment may just take a little longer).
Treatment Timeline
On average, orthodontic treatment lasts about 18–24 months, but the duration varies depending on the complexity of your case. Some patients see results in as little as 12 months, while others may need up to 3 years.
Benefits of Orthodontic Treatment
A straighter, more confident smile
Easier brushing and flossing, lowering the risk of cavities and gum disease
Improved bite and jaw function, reducing TMJ issues
Better speech and chewing efficiency
Common & Temporary Side Effects
It’s normal to experience mild discomfort, tenderness, or irritation on the cheeks, lips or tongue — especially right after placement or adjustments. Dental wax and over-the-counter pain relief can help ease these symptoms.
Caring for Your Braces or Aligners
Brush twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste.
Floss once a day using special orthodontic floss or a water flosser.
Clean aligners every day and store them safely when not in use.
Avoid hard, sticky or crunchy foods that could damage brackets or wires.
Visit your dentist and orthodontist regularly for adjustments and cleanings.
After Treatment – Retainers
To maintain your new smile, you’ll need to wear a retainer as advised by your orthodontist. Retainers prevent your teeth from shifting back into their original position.
When to Call Us
Contact our clinic immediately if you experience persistent pain, broken wires or brackets, trauma to your mouth, or signs of gum infection.
Braces vs. Aligners – Which Is Right for You?
Your orthodontist will recommend the best option based on your goals, lifestyle and the complexity of your case. Clear aligners handle most mild to moderate issues, while traditional or self-ligating braces may be better for more complex cases.
