Introduction
Thinking about getting braces but still unsure? You’re not alone! Many patients at Fab Dental—from teenagers to adults—have similar doubts before beginning orthodontic treatment.
Braces remain one of the most effective ways to correct crooked teeth, bite problems, and gaps. But the process can feel overwhelming at first. To make it easier, our expert orthodontists have answered the most frequently asked questions about braces treatment.
Top FAQs About Braces Treatment
Why do I need braces?
Braces correct issues like crooked teeth, overcrowding, gaps, and bite problems. Beyond improving your smile, they also make chewing, speaking, and cleaning your teeth much easier.
What types of braces are available?
At Fab Dental, you can choose from:
Metal Braces: Durable, effective, and affordable.
Ceramic Braces: Tooth-colored brackets that blend with your teeth.
Self-Ligating Braces: Faster results with greater comfort.
Lingual Braces: Placed behind the teeth, making them completely hidden.
Clear Aligners: Transparent, removable trays for maximum convenience.
How long does treatment take?
On average, braces treatment lasts 12–24 months, depending on the complexity of your case. Minor adjustments may take less than a year.
Are braces painful?
You might feel mild soreness when braces are placed or adjusted, but it usually lasts just a few days and can be managed with simple pain relievers.
How much do braces cost in India?
The cost depends on the type you choose:
Metal Braces: ₹25,000–₹45,000
Ceramic Braces: ₹40,000–₹80,000
Self-Ligating Braces: ₹60,000+
Aligners: ₹30,000–₹1,50,000
💡 At Fab Dental, we also provide flexible EMI options to make orthodontics affordable.
Can adults get braces?
Absolutely! Braces are not just for children. Many adults choose braces or aligners for both cosmetic and functional improvements.
What foods should I avoid with braces?
Stay away from sticky, hard, or crunchy foods such as gum, popcorn, and hard candies, as they can damage wires and brackets.
How often will I need checkups?
With braces, visits are usually required every 4–8 weeks for adjustments. With aligners, fewer visits may be needed since most of the treatment is digitally planned.
Will braces affect my speech?
Most patients adapt within a few days. Lingual braces and aligners may cause minor lisping at first, but this usually disappears quickly.
Do I need retainers after treatment?
Yes! Wearing retainers is essential to keep your teeth in their new position. Without them, your teeth may shift back over time.
