Braces and Aligners in Gurgaon
Choosing between braces and aligners in Gurgaon is hard partly because so many clinics and brands are selling them, and each treats its own option as the obvious one. The decision should really come from your bite and your daily routine. At Artistree Dental and Cosmetic Clinic, orthodontic work is overseen by Dr Ankita S. Sheoran, an MDS orthodontist who is certified in Invisalign clear aligner therapy and works in braces and aligners alike, so neither one is being pushed by default.

The options side by side
| Option | Visible? | Removable? | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Metal braces | Yes | No | The sturdy all-rounder, and suitable for complex bites |
| Ceramic braces | Less so | No | Tooth-coloured brackets, and a little more care with staining food |
| Self-ligating braces | Metal or ceramic | No | Brackets hold the wire with a built-in clip, with no elastic ties |
| Lingual braces | From the front, no | No | Fixed behind the teeth, and take time to get used to when speaking |
| Clear aligners, including Invisalign | Barely | Yes | Removed to eat and brush, but they need disciplined daily wear |
Three questions that settle most cases
- What does your bite need? Mild crowding and spacing often suit aligners. Some larger movements are still more predictable with fixed braces.
- Will you really wear aligners? They only move teeth while they are in, for most of the day, every day. If that sounds unlikely, fixed braces take the decision out of your hands.
- What can your job or school tolerate? People who present or perform often lean towards aligners or ceramic. Students who play contact sports may need a mouth guard with braces.
What to ask before you sign up
Some aligner companies sell direct to the public and plan treatment from a distance. Whoever you choose, ask who designs your plan, whether an orthodontist examines you in person, what happens if a tooth does not track, and how retainers are handled at the end. Your gums should also be checked, because moving teeth in inflamed gums can do harm.
For teenagers and adults
Teenagers often suit braces because the jaw is still growing and compliance is not left to chance. Adults can have their teeth moved at any age if the gums and bone are healthy. Sometimes orthodontics is also the first stage of larger work, such as closing a gap before a crown or implant, and having a prosthodontist in the same clinic helps in those cases.
Retainers are part of the job
Teeth drift after treatment ends, so a retainer is what protects the result. Expect to wear one long term. To book an orthodontic assessment at Artistree in Sector 51, call +91 92053 01454 or send a WhatsApp message.

Frequently asked questions
How long does treatment take?
It depends on how far your teeth need to move, and the orthodontist can give you an estimate after assessing your bite.
Are aligners as effective as braces?
For suitable cases, yes, provided they are worn as told. Some tooth movements are still handled better with fixed braces.
Do braces hurt?
Expect soreness for a few days after fitting and after adjustments. It normally settles quickly, and soft food helps.
Am I too old for braces?
Usually not. Healthy gums and bone matter far more than age, and many adults choose aligners or ceramic braces.
