Orthodontic treatment helps correct irregularly positioned teeth and problems with the alignment of the jaws and bite.
At Paartha Diagnostic Centre, Vijay Nagar, orthodontic treatment is available for children, teenagers and adults following an individual assessment.
When might orthodontic treatment be required?
Braces or clear aligners may be considered for:
Crowded teeth
Spacing between teeth
Protruding teeth
Irregular tooth alignment
Certain bite problems
Difficulty maintaining oral hygiene because of crowding
Selected jaw and dental alignment problems
Braces
Traditional and modern orthodontic appliances can gradually move teeth into a more favourable position.
The appropriate appliance depends on the patient's age, dental condition, treatment objectives and individual requirements.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are transparent, custom-made orthodontic trays manufactured from medical-grade thermoplastic material that gradually shift teeth into their desired positions. Unlike traditional metal braces, they do not require brackets or wires. Instead, a sequence of precisely engineered trays applies gentle, continuous pressure to target teeth. Patients switch to a new set of aligners roughly every 1 to 2 weeks as guided by their orthodontist. They may be suitable for some adults and teenagers who prefer a less noticeable orthodontic appliance.
Not every orthodontic problem can be treated with aligners, and suitability is determined after clinical assessment.
Orthodontic Treatment for Children
Early orthodontic assessment can be useful in selected children to identify developing alignment or bite problems.
The timing of treatment depends on the child's dental development and the nature of the problem. Some children may benefit from early intervention, while others may simply require observation until a later stage.
What to Expect
Orthodontic treatment generally involves:
Dental and orthodontic examination
Assessment of tooth and jaw alignment
Diagnostic records where required
Discussion of treatment options
Placement of the selected orthodontic appliance
Regular follow-up appointments
Treatment duration varies considerably between patients.

Frequently asked questions
1. Are clear aligners as effective as traditional metal braces?
Yes, clear aligners are highly effective for correcting mild-to-moderate orthodontic issues, including crowded teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. However, fixed metal braces remain the preferred choice for complex skeletal realignments and severe tooth rotations. A thorough diagnostic dental scan is required to determine the best treatment path.
2. How many hours a day do I need to wear clear aligners?
For optimal results, you must wear clear aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day. You should only remove the trays when eating, drinking anything other than plain water, brushing, or flossing. Failing to hit the daily wear-time threshold can significantly delay your progress or cause your teeth to shift back.
3. How long does clear aligner treatment typically take?
The average treatment duration ranges from 6 to 18 months, though this varies based on individual dental needs:
4. Is clear aligner treatment painful?
Clear aligner treatment is widely considered smoother and more comfortable than traditional braces because it lacks sharp metal edges. However, it is normal to experience mild tightness or temporary pressure for the first 1 to 2 days after switching to a brand-new tray set. This sensation is a positive sign that the trays are successfully moving your teeth.
5. Are there any dietary restrictions while wearing aligners?
There are zero food restrictions during clear aligner treatment because the trays are entirely removable. You can continue enjoying sticky, crunchy, or hard foods. However, you must remove your aligners before eating or drinking any hot, sugary, or colored beverages to avoid warping the plastic or causing permanent stains.
7. How should I clean and maintain my clear aligners?
To keep your aligners clear and hygienic, follow these daily steps:
