What Is It?

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.

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.

The Reliable Classic

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.

Most Budget-Friendly Maximum Control Great for Kids & Teens
The Subtle Choice

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.

Tooth-Coloured Discreet Popular with Professionals
The Fast-Track Option

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.

Fewer Visits Gentler Force Good for Busy Schedules
The Hidden Secret

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.

Completely Hidden Custom-Fabricated Premium Option
The Removable Alternative

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.

Visibility Virtually Invisible
Clear plastic trays are barely noticeable in conversation or photos.
Daily Life Removable
Take them out to eat, brush, or attend a special event — no food restrictions.
Best Suited For Mild–Moderate Cases
Effective for crowding, gaps, and mild bite issues; complex cases are assessed individually.
Discipline Needed Self-Managed
Requires 20–22 hours of daily wear — results depend on patient consistency.
Visibility Visible
Metal brackets and wires are clearly visible, though colour bands can make this a feature.
Daily Life Fixed
Cannot be removed; some food restrictions apply to protect the brackets and wires.
Best Suited For All Complexity Levels
Handles even severe crowding and complex bite correction with maximum control.
Discipline Needed Low
Fixed in place, so results do not depend on patient compliance day to day.
Removable No Messy Impressions Adult Favourite

It's Never Too Late

Braces Work for Teens and Adults Alike

"Am I too old for braces?" is one of the most common questions we hear. The answer is always an enthusiastic no — as long as your gums and bones are healthy, teeth can be moved safely at almost any age.

For Teenagers

The teenage years are the ideal biological window for orthodontics — because jaws are still growing, we can work alongside that natural development to guide teeth into place quickly and smoothly.

For Adults

More than half of our orthodontic patients are adults. Whether teeth have shifted over time or you are finally ready for the smile you always wanted, discreet options keep treatment out of the way of your career and social life.

"There is no upper age limit on a healthier bite and a more confident smile — only a lower limit on how long you wait to start."
— Dr. Shaili Shah, MDS | Orthodontist, Radiant Smiles Dental Clinic, Chembur
Good to Know

Braces and Dental Implants — How They Work Together

A common situation in modern dentistry: patients dealing with both missing teeth and a misaligned bite. Here is how the two treatments fit together.

Can I get braces if I already have an implant?

Yes. A natural tooth is held by a flexible ligament that allows braces to move it; an implant is fused into the bone and stays still. We use the implant as a solid anchor point and safely move your surrounding natural teeth around it.

Implant before or after braces?

Our general rule is braces first, implant second. Orthodontics slides your natural teeth into their ideal final positions, leaving the exact amount of space needed for the implant specialist to place your new tooth.

Do orthodontists place implants themselves?

Orthodontists focus on moving teeth and balancing jaws, not placing implants. At Radiant Smiles, our orthodontist works directly with our in-house implantologist, reviewing 3D scans together so combined treatments stay perfectly coordinated.

Easy, Pocket-Friendly EMI Options

  • Overall cost depends on alignment complexity, treatment duration, and the braces type you choose.

What Our Patients Say About Orthodontic Treatment

Real reviews from real patients who completed braces or aligner treatment with Dr. Shaili Shah in Chembur.

★★★★★
Clear Aligners

"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.

★★★★★
Metal Braces

"Patient with My Teenager." My son had quite crowded teeth and was nervous about metal braces. Dr. Shaili was incredibly patient, explained every step to him directly, and let him pick fun coloured bands at each visit. He actually looks forward to his appointments now.

Deonar • Metal Braces, Age 14
★★★★★
Ceramic Braces

"Ceramic Braces Were the Right Call." I am in my thirties and wanted my bite fixed without obvious metal brackets. The ceramic braces blend in so well that most people just assume I have naturally straight teeth already. The EMI option also made the decision much easier.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions About Braces in Chembur

Because every smile is unique, the cost of braces in Mumbai depends on the specific materials you choose and how long your alignment takes. Simple metal braces are the most budget-friendly baseline option, while aesthetic ceramic brackets, lingual braces, or clear aligners are a higher investment. Radiant Smiles provides an exact, upfront estimate broken into easy, interest-free monthly EMI installments.
Yes. While a dental implant is permanently anchored into the bone and cannot itself be moved by braces, our orthodontist in Chembur can design a custom movement plan that uses the implant as a steady anchor point while guiding your remaining natural teeth into alignment around it.
For the safest and most predictable results, choose a registered specialist Orthodontist who holds an MDS in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, rather than a general dentist. At Radiant Smiles, orthodontic treatment is directly managed by Dr. Shaili Shah, an experienced specialist in malocclusion and bite correction.
No. Teeth can be safely guided into place at almost any age, as long as the gums and supporting bone are healthy. More than half of orthodontic patients at Radiant Smiles are adults, and discreet options like ceramic braces, lingual braces, and clear aligners make treatment easy to fit around a professional life.
Having braces fitted is not painful. Over the first few days, patients commonly feel a mild, dull pressure as the teeth begin to move — this is normal and a sign the treatment is working. Radiant Smiles provides comfort guidance to make the adjustment period as smooth as possible.
