Crooked or misaligned teeth are not just a cosmetic concern. Teeth that do not align properly are harder to clean, increasing decay and gum disease risk. Bite problems cause jaw pain and headaches. Orthodontic treatment addresses both appearance and function.
Dr. Sobti recommends based on your specific misalignment and lifestyle.
The most effective option. Modern metal braces are far smaller and more comfortable than earlier generations. Best for complex misalignment requiring precise tooth movement.
Tooth-coloured brackets provide the effectiveness of metal braces with a significantly more discreet appearance. Popular with adults and older teenagers.
A series of custom transparent trays that gradually shift teeth. Virtually invisible and removable for eating and cleaning. Best for mild to moderate misalignment.
After braces are removed, a retainer maintains the new position. Not optional — teeth will gradually shift back without retention.
From first consultation to final result.
Photographs, X-rays, and impressions to map your current alignment and plan the tooth movements required. Dr. Sobti explains the plan, the timeline, and the options.
Brackets bonded to teeth and wire threaded through (metal/ceramic). Or first set of clear aligners provided with full instructions.
Every 4–8 weeks, the wire is adjusted (fixed braces) or the next tray is provided (aligners). Mild soreness for 2–3 days after each adjustment is normal.
Braces are removed once teeth are in position. Retainers are fitted immediately to maintain the result. Retainers are worn long-term — this is not optional.
When to start for children: Orthodontic evaluation around age 7–8. Treatment typically begins at 11–13 when most permanent teeth have erupted. Early assessment allows planning even if treatment is not yet needed.
