Braces & Clear Aligners in Nerul

Braces & Clear Aligners in Nerul

Straighter teeth, a healthier bite — metal, ceramic, lingual, and invisible aligner options for every age in Nerul, Navi Mumbai.

Overview

Crooked, crowded, or gapped teeth aren't only a cosmetic concern. Misaligned teeth are harder to clean, wear unevenly, and can strain your jaw over time. Braces and clear aligners gently move teeth into their correct position using sustained, controlled pressure — improving both how your smile looks and how your bite works.

At Dentalive Multispeciality Dental Clinic in Nerul, treatment begins with an honest assessment of what your teeth actually need, followed by a clear plan for the option that best fits your case, timeline, and budget — without pushing you toward the most expensive choice.

• Relief from jaw strain caused by misalignment
• Options for every age, lifestyle, and budget — from metal braces to near-invisible aligners

Conditions Treated

• Crowded or overlapping teeth

Your Options

Option	Best for	Visibility	Indicative Range
Metal braces	Most cases; budget-friendly	Visible	₹25,000 – ₹45,000
Ceramic braces	Less noticeable than metal	Tooth-coloured	₹35,000 – ₹60,000
Self-ligating braces	Fewer visits, faster	Visible	₹45,000 – ₹75,000
Lingual braces	Hidden behind the teeth	Invisible	₹80,000 – ₹1,50,000
Clear aligners (Invisalign etc.)	Mild–moderate cases; removable	Near-invisible	₹60,000 – ₹2,00,000

The Process, Step by Step

• Consultation and records — photos, X-rays, and scans or impressions to map your bite
• Treatment plan — your orthodontist explains the options, expected duration, and cost
• Fitting — braces are bonded to the teeth, or your first set of aligners is issued
• Regular reviews — adjustments every 4–6 weeks for braces, or a new aligner set every 1–2 weeks
• Completion — braces are removed or the aligner series is finished
• Retention — retainers hold your teeth in their new position

Downtime & recovery

There's no real downtime — you carry on with daily life as normal. Expect mild soreness for a few days after fitting and after each adjustment; it settles quickly. Brackets may rub the cheeks at first, and orthodontic wax helps. Clear aligners are removable for eating and brushing, which many patients find more comfortable and hygienic.
