What it is
Orthodontic treatment moves teeth into better alignment over months, using either fixed braces bonded to the teeth or a series of removable clear aligners. Beyond appearance, straighter teeth are easier to clean and distribute bite forces more evenly.
Signs you may need this
- Crowded or overlapping teeth that are hard to clean
- Gaps between teeth you would like closed
- Front teeth that stick out or sit behind the lower teeth
- Upper and lower teeth that do not meet evenly when biting
- Teeth that shifted after an earlier orthodontic treatment without a retainer

Photographs, digital X-rays and impressions or a scan. We show you what is achievable and how long it will take before you commit any money.
Fitting
Braces are bonded in a single appointment of about an hour. Aligners are manufactured at Rapidontics Labs and delivered as a numbered series.
Reviews
Braces are adjusted every four to six weeks. Aligners are changed at home every one to two weeks with a review every six to eight weeks.
Retention
When the teeth are in position, a retainer holds them there. This step is not optional — teeth move back without it.

Common questions — Braces & Invisible Aligners
How much do braces cost in Lucknow?
At Area Dental Clinic, metal braces are ₹35,000 and ceramic (tooth-coloured) braces are ₹45,000 for the complete treatment, including routine adjustment visits. Invisible aligners are ₹65,000. A retainer at the end is ₹2,000 for removable or ₹3,000 for fixed.
Braces or invisible aligners — which should I choose?
Aligners are removable, near-invisible and more comfortable, but they only work if you wear them 20 to 22 hours a day and they cost more. Fixed braces work regardless of discipline and handle complex movements better. We will tell you if your case genuinely suits aligners.
How long will I need to wear braces?
Most cases take 12 to 24 months. Mild crowding or spacing can finish sooner; significant bite corrections take longer. We give you an estimated duration at the planning stage based on your actual X-rays, not a generic figure.
Am I too old for braces?
No. Teeth can be moved at any age as long as the gums and supporting bone are healthy. A large share of orthodontic patients are adults, and aligners are popular precisely because they are discreet at work.
Do braces damage teeth?
Properly fitted braces do not damage teeth, but they make cleaning harder, and poor cleaning during treatment causes decay and white marks. Brushing after every meal and using interdental brushes matters more during orthodontics than at any other time.
What happens if I stop wearing my retainer?
The teeth drift back towards where they started. This is the single most common reason people need orthodontic treatment twice. Retainers are worn full-time initially and then nightly, long-term.
