Orthodontics
Orthodontist in Perumbakkam — Braces and Clear Aligners
Orthodontic treatment moves teeth into a healthier position, which improves how you bite as well as how you look. Crowded teeth trap plaque and decay faster; a deep or crossbite wears enamel and strains the jaw joint. We treat children, teenagers and adults, with fixed braces or removable clear aligners.
- Metal, ceramic and clear aligner options
- Records, X-rays and a simulated end result
- Monthly adjustment visits, evenings available
- Retainers included in the treatment plan
Problems orthodontics corrects
If you are unsure whether treatment is worthwhile, a consultation with records will show you the expected outcome before you commit.
- Crowded or overlapping teeth
- Gaps and spacing
- Protruding upper front teeth
- Deep bite, open bite and crossbite
- Midline shift and asymmetry
- Relapse after earlier braces without retainer wear
Braces or clear aligners?
Fixed braces handle every case, including complex rotations and bite correction, at a lower cost. Clear aligners are removable and nearly invisible, which suits working adults, but they only work if worn 20 to 22 hours a day.
- Metal braces — most affordable, works for all case types
- Ceramic braces — tooth-coloured brackets, less visible
- Clear aligners — removable, discreet, requires patient discipline
Timeline and retention
Most cases take 12 to 24 months, with adjustments every four to six weeks. Retention is not optional — teeth drift back for life, so a bonded or removable retainer after treatment is what protects the result.
Braces and aligner reviews in Perumbakkam
Orthodontic treatment means an adjustment visit every four to six weeks for a year or more. Having the practice in Perumbakkam keeps that routine manageable for students and working adults from Perumbakkam, Sholinganallur, Medavakkam, Karapakkam, Nookampalayam, Semmancheri, Navalur and the OMR residential blocks.
Aligner patients collect several trays at a time and are reviewed less often, which suits people who travel frequently.

Frequently asked questions
What is the right age for braces?
Most children start between 11 and 14, once enough permanent teeth are through. Adults can be treated at any age provided the gums and bone are healthy.
How much do braces cost in Perumbakkam?
Cost depends on the appliance — metal braces are the most economical, ceramic slightly higher, and clear aligners the most expensive. We give a written quote after the consultation and offer staged payments.
Do braces hurt?
Teeth feel tender for two to three days after fitting and after each adjustment. Soft food and a routine painkiller are usually enough.
How often will I need to travel to the Perumbakkam clinic during braces treatment?
Roughly every four to six weeks for an adjustment. Aligner patients are usually reviewed every six to eight weeks.
