What Are Braces?

Braces are orthodontic devices used to correct misaligned teeth and jaws, improving both the function and appearance of your smile. At First Choice Orthodontic Centre & Dental Clinic in Ranchi, Jharkhand, we offer personalized braces treatments to address issues like crooked teeth, overcrowding, gaps, and bite problems.

Braces work by applying gentle, continuous pressure to gradually move teeth into their desired positions, guided by our experienced orthodontists.

Types of Braces We Offer

Traditional Metal Braces

The most common type, made of high-grade stainless steel, effective for all ages and complex cases.

Ceramic Braces

Clear or tooth-colored brackets that blend with your teeth, offering a less noticeable option.

Damon Braces/ Self Ligating Braces

A modern twist similar to traditional braces, self-ligating braces feature brackets with built-in clips or doors to hold the wire. These brackets minimize friction and generally allow for a longer time between appointments.

Lingual Braces

Placed on the inner side of your teeth, making them invisible from the outside.

The Braces Treatment Process

    Knowing the approximate duration of your treatment can help you plan better. The length of treatment is different for everyone. It could take a few months if you only need slight corrections. However, if you have complex issues that require moving many teeth and repositioning the jaw, it could take years. Here’s a general idea of what you can expect with braces from your first consultation to post-treatment:

  • Consultation and Diagnosis: 1-2 visits
  • Brace Fitting/Placement: 1 visit
  • Regular Adjustments: Every 4-12 weeks, depending on where you are in your treatment. 
  • Treatment Duration: Varies between individuals but generally ranges from 12 to 24 months
  • Retention Phase: Wearing a retainer for a certain period post-treatment

Remember, each treatment plan is unique, and timelines can vary based on individual needs and complexities.
