"Our kid had an alignment issue, we searched through different forums to find a better orthodontist. We came across Aura dentistry and Dr Bharath. He was truly professional and explained us about the procedures and the options. Everything was well communicated including the financial options. We were confident and went with the procedure. From the start to the end of the procedure it was well communicated on what they are doing.Honestly our kid was not hesitant to go the clinic and to our surprise, he was the one who remembers the date of every visit and reminds me of the date.

Frequently asked questions
What is orthodontic treatment?

At what age should I or my child see an orthodontist?
The Right Age for Orthodontic Treatment
Children (6–12 Years)- Early Visits (Around 6 Years): It's a good idea to visit an orthodontist as early as 6 years old. At this age, an orthodontist can identify developmental or eruption issues with teeth and may recommend an appliance to intercept potential problems early.
Growth Modulation (6–12 Years): During this period, jaw growth problems can be detected. Growth modulation appliances can guide jaw development, taking advantage of the child’s natural growth to correct issues effectively.
Teens (12–16 Years- Ideal Age for Teeth Alignment: This is the perfect time to start aligning teeth as all permanent teeth have usually erupted by now. Benefits of Starting at This Age:The jawbone is still malleable, making it easier to achieve stable results.Treatments are often socially acceptable, as many peers may also be wearing braces.
Adults (17+ Years)- No Age Limit: Orthodontic treatment can be done at any age, from 6 to 60 years old or beyond. Important Factors for Adult Orthodontics:Bone Quality: The bone supporting the teeth must be healthy. Gum and General Health: Good gum health and overall well-being are essential for successful treatment. Orthodontic care is highly personalized, so it's never too early or late to consult an orthodontist for the best solutions tailored to your needs.
How Long Does Orthodontic Treatment Typically Take?
The duration of orthodontic treatment can vary depending on several factors. Here’s a breakdown:
Average Treatment Time-Most orthodontic treatments take 12 to 24 months to complete. However, this can vary based on the complexity of the case and the treatment type.
Mild Cases For minor crowding or spacing issues, treatments like Invisalign or limited braces may take as little as 6 to 12 months.
Moderate to Severe Cases Cases involving significant misalignment, bite correction, or jaw discrepancies can take 18 to 30 months, especially if growth modification appliances are needed for children.
Children vs. Adults-Children and teens generally experience faster results as their bones are still growing and more malleable. Adults may require a slightly longer time due to slower bone remodelling and the need to work around existing dental work.
Compliance with Treatment- For aligner treatments like Invisalign, following the recommended 22 hours of daily wear is crucial for staying on track. Delayed or inconsistent wear can prolong treatment.
Specialized Treatments- For cases requiring surgery or extensive jaw correction, treatment may extend up to 3 years, depending on healing and the complexity of the procedure.
Post-Treatment Retention- After braces or aligners are removed, a retainer phase is necessary to maintain results. This phase is critical but does not add to the active treatment time.
Are Orthodontic Treatments Painful?
Orthodontic treatments are generally not painful, but some discomfort is normal, especially at specific stages. Here's what to expect:
Initial Placement: When braces or aligners are first fitted, you may feel mild pressure or soreness for 1–3 days as your teeth start adjusting.
Adjustments and Tightening: Regular adjustments to braces or switching to a new set of aligners can cause temporary discomfort for a day or two.
Adaptation Period: It may take about 1–2 weeks to get used to braces or aligners. Irritation to cheeks or lips is common but can be managed with orthodontic wax.
Pain Management: Over-the-counter pain relievers, like ibuprofen, can help ease soreness if needed. Soft foods and rinsing with warm salt water can also provide relief.
Long-Term Comfort: After the initial adjustment period, most patients feel little to no discomfort during treatment.
Orthodontic discomfort is a sign that your treatment is working to move your teeth into their proper positions. If you experience significant or prolonged pain, consult your orthodontist immediately.
Can adults get braces or Aligners?
Absolutely! Many adults are opting for braces or Invisalign to improve their smile and oral health. It's never too late to achieve a confident smile.
Will braces or aligners affect my speech?
You may notice slight changes in speech initially, especially with aligners. However, most people adjust quickly and speak normally within a few days.
Can I eat normally with braces or aligners?
You may notice slight changes in speech initially, especially with aligners. However, most people adjust quickly and speak normally within a few days.With braces, you’ll need to avoid sticky, hard, or chewy foods like candy, nuts, or gum. Clear aligners can be removed during meals, so you can eat anything you like as long as you brush and floss before wearing them again.
How often should I visit the orthodontist during treatment?
For braces, visits are typically scheduled every 4 to 8 weeks. With Invisalign, appointments may be spaced out a bit more, depending on your progress.
Are there any risks with orthodontic treatment?
Orthodontic treatment is generally very safe, but proper oral hygiene is crucial to avoid issues like tooth decay or gum problems during treatment. Our team will guide you on how to care for your teeth.
