Your Treatment Options
Metal Braces
Traditional stainless steel brackets, with optional self-locking clips, a reliable and often the most affordable option.
Ceramic or Clear Braces
Tooth-coloured materials that are less visible than metal alternatives, while working the same way.
Lingual Braces
Positioned on the back of the teeth, lingual braces are nearly invisible and custom-fitted for patients who want a discreet option.
Why Patients Choose Braces Treatment
Beyond straightening your smile, correcting misalignment can make daily brushing and flossing easier, which lowers the risk of cavities and gum disease building up in hard to reach places. Correcting jaw alignment can also positively impact airway and sleep issues for some patients, and a corrected bite often improves speech clarity as well as confidence in your smile.
How Long Treatment Takes
Braces treatment generally takes between 12 to 24 months, depending on how much correction your case needs. Cost varies by case complexity, and interest-free financing options are available, your orthodontist will confirm both a realistic timeline and a written estimate at your consultation.
Why Choose Smiline for Braces Treatment
Braces treatment at Smiline is delivered by the same coordinated, founder-led team behind every other treatment at Smiline, across three hospitals in Panjagutta, Hitech City, and Nanakramguda, in continuous operation since 1996. Regular adjustment visits are straightforward wherever you visit us, since the same clinical standard and your records are consistent across all three hospitals.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Braces
Braces are recommended for patients experiencing misalignment of teeth, gaps or spaces between teeth, or bite problems such as an excessive overbite, underbite, or open bite. Most patients, adults and children alike, are candidates, your orthodontist confirms exactly what your case needs at your first visit rather than assuming a single approach fits everyone.
Living With Braces Day to Day
Most patients adjust to braces within the first couple of weeks, after which brushing, flossing, and eating around them becomes routine. Some foods are best avoided while braces are on, hard, sticky, or crunchy items in particular, since they can damage brackets or wires, but this is a manageable adjustment rather than a major lifestyle change for most patients.

Ready to talk about braces treatment? Book an orthodontic consultation and we will assess your teeth and bite, and talk you through metal, ceramic, or lingual options in plain language.
What to Expect at Adjustment Visits
Once your braces are fitted, you will come in periodically so your orthodontist can adjust the wires and tighten the system as your teeth move, a normal and expected part of treatment rather than a sign anything has gone wrong. These visits are typically quick, and are also when your orthodontist checks that treatment is progressing on the timeline they mapped out at the start.
