"Invisible and Easy." I work in client-facing sales and could not have visible braces. Dr. Shaili recommended clear aligners and the entire process was explained with a 3D scan before we even started. Eighteen months later, no one at work ever knew I was straightening my teeth.
What Is Orthodontic Treatment?
Orthodontic treatment moves teeth and, where needed, guides jaw growth to correct crowding, gaps, and bite misalignment (malocclusion). It is a precise biological process, which is why it should always be planned by a registered specialist Orthodontist rather than a general dentist. At Radiant Smiles, your teeth alignment treatment in Mumbai is led by Dr. Shaili Shah, an MDS-qualified Orthodontist who combines digital 3D scanning with custom treatment planning.
Beyond a straighter smile, properly aligned teeth are easier to brush and floss, which helps prevent cavities and gum trouble, and a balanced bite takes pressure off the jaw joints. If you are also considering dental implants or a full smile makeover, our in-house specialists plan every treatment together under one roof.
Radiant Smiles — Orthodontics at a Glance
Common Smile Concerns We Help Patients Overcome
Every one of these is addressed with a treatment plan tailored to your specific bite and jaw structure — not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Crowded Teeth
When the jaw lacks room for every adult tooth, teeth overlap and twist, trapping plaque. We guide each tooth into its own space for a smile that is easy to keep clean.
Gaps & Spaces
Whether genetic, habit-related, or caused by a missing tooth, large gaps trap food and affect confidence. Treatment safely and permanently closes the space.
Overbites
When upper front teeth sit too far forward, it can cause chipping and discomfort. We rebalance the bite so upper and lower teeth meet exactly where they should.
Underbites
A lower jaw that protrudes forward can strain facial muscles and complicate chewing. Gentle, steady guidance brings the jaws into a more comfortable alignment.
Crossbites
When upper teeth tuck inside lower teeth on closing, uneven chewing and premature enamel wear can follow. Specialised arches widen the path so teeth meet correctly.
Jaw Discomfort & Headaches
An uneven bite places extra pressure on the jaw joints, which can trigger headaches and chewing discomfort. Correcting the bite often relieves this pressure too.
Which Braces Type Is Right for Your Lifestyle?
Five proven options, each suited to a different priority — budget, discretion, speed, or complete invisibility. Dr. Shaili Shah helps you choose at your consultation.
Modern Metal Braces
Traditional metal brackets remain the gold standard for fixing complex alignments because they give our orthodontist maximum control over how teeth move. Today's brackets are smaller and smoother than older designs, and kids and teens can customise their smile with colourful bands at every visit.
For patients prioritising budget, metal braces in Mumbai remain the most affordable entry point into orthodontic treatment, without compromising on the precision of the final result.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces deliver the same proven moving power as traditional braces, using brackets crafted from a clear, tooth-coloured material that blends in with natural enamel. Paired with frosted or white wires, they are hard to spot from a distance.
A popular choice with college students and professionals who want to straighten their teeth without their braces becoming the main talking point in meetings.
Self-Ligating Braces (Damon System)
Instead of small elastics holding the wire in place, self-ligating brackets feature a built-in sliding door that lets the wire move freely. This reduces friction and applies a gentler, continuous force.
The practical benefit: fewer, faster adjustment visits — ideal for patients with busy schedules who want to minimise time in the chair.
Lingual Braces
Lingual braces are custom-fabricated to fit on the back (tongue-facing side) of the teeth — structurally as effective as traditional braces, but completely hidden from view, even when speaking or smiling wide.
Because they require specialised clinical training and custom laboratory work, this is a premium option offered by our orthodontist in Chembur for patients who want zero visible change during treatment.
Clear Aligners
If you want to skip brackets and wires entirely, clear aligners are a comfortable, virtually invisible alternative. Using our advanced 3D intraoral scanner, we take a quick digital impression of your mouth — no messy putty required.
We then produce a custom series of clear plastic trays that you simply pop over your teeth. They are removable for eating, brushing, and special events, making them a favourite for adults and professionals who want flexibility alongside discretion.
