If you or your child have crooked teeth, crowding, or an uncomfortable bite, it affects more than just looks. It can make chewing difficult, make cleaning harder, and slowly reduce confidence in photos, school, or at work. Many people keep delaying treatment because they are unsure about options, price, and how painful braces will be.
At Asian Dental Hospital, Kukatpally, we offer a full range of braces in Kukatpally including metal braces, ceramic braces, self-ligating braces, lingual (hidden) braces, and clear aligners for children, teens, and adults. Our orthodontist (a specialist for teeth straightening) plans each case carefully so that your teeth become straighter, your bite improves, and your jaw works comfortably.

Dental Problems That Braces Can Correct
If you notice any of the dental problems mentioned below, braces in Kukatpally are an ideal option for you.
- Crooked teeth that are not aligned properly,
- Crowding, where teeth overlap due to lack of space,
- Spacing, where there are visible gaps between teeth,
- Overbite, where the upper front teeth are far ahead of the lower teeth,
- Underbite, where the lower front teeth are ahead of the upper teeth,
- Crossbite, where some upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth when you bite,
- Open bite, where the front teeth do not touch when the back teeth are together,
- General malocclusion, which means the upper and lower teeth do not fit together properly.
All these alingment issues can affect chewing, speech, jaw joints, and oral hygiene. Orthodontic treatment improves bite, jaw position, cleaning, and overall smile confidence.
Types of Braces and Aligners Available
At Asian Dental, in Kukatpally, we offer different types of braces so you can choose what matches your appearance, comfort, and budget.
1. Metal Braces
Metal braces use stainless steel brackets and wires attached to the teeth. They are strong, reliable, and suitable for children, teens, and adults who want an effective and budget-friendly treatment. Metal braces are often chosen for cases with severe crowding, complex bite problems, or when faster tooth movement is needed.
2. Ceramic (Tooth-Coloured) Braces
Ceramic braces work like metal braces but have tooth-coloured or clear brackets. They blend with your teeth and look more aesthetic and discreet, making them ideal for college students and working professionals who want a less visible option. Ceramic braces are preferred when patients want good cosmetic appeal while still maintaining the strength and control of traditional braces.
3. Self-Ligating Braces (Damon / SPEED-Type Systems)
Self-ligating braces use special brackets that hold the wire without elastic ties. They may allow smoother tooth movement, fewer adjustments, and easier cleaning for some patients. These braces are often preferred by those who have crowding that needs additional expansion, or want a system that may reduce chair-time during visits.
4. Lingual Braces (Hidden Braces)
Lingual braces are fixed on the inner side of the teeth, facing the tongue. They are almost invisible from the front and are preferred by adults in public-facing roles, such as corporate professionals, models, or speakers, who want complete concealment of braces.
5. Clear Aligners (Invisible Braces / Invisalign-Type Systems)
Clear aligners are removable, transparent trays that straighten teeth without brackets or wires. They are ideal for mild to moderate crowding, spacing, and minor bite issues, and are preferred by adults who want discreet, removable treatment with easier brushing, flossing, and fewer food restrictions.
Our team of expert dentists in Kukatpally will help you compare types of braces options based on your teeth alignment, bite condition, jaw structure, lifestyle, comfort level, and budget. Book your appointment for braces at Asian Dental now.
Who Can Get Braces?
Braces and aligners can help many age groups:
- Children, when permanent teeth start coming in and early crowding or bite problems are seen.
- Teens, who often have crooked teeth, crowding, spacing, or jaw alignment issues.
- Adults, who never had orthodontic treatment earlier or whose teeth shifted after old braces.
Even adults in their 30s, 40s, or older can safely get braces treatment if the gums and bone are healthy. A proper orthodontic consultation at our Kukatpally clinic helps decide the best timing and type of teeth alingment treatment for you.
Step-by-Step Braces Treatment Process at Asian Dental Kukatpally
Orthodontic Consultation
- You share your concerns about teeth position, smile, and bite.
- The orthodontist examines your teeth, bite, and jaw movements.
- X-rays, photographs, and, in many cases, 3D scanning are done for accurate records.
Treatment Planning
- The doctor explains the problems: crowding, spacing, overbite, underbite, crossbite, or open bite.
- Different options such as metal braces, ceramic braces, lingual braces, self-ligating braces, and clear aligners are discussed.
- You are given an estimate of treatment duration, expected results, and approximate cost.
- Braces or Aligner Placement
- For fixed braces: brackets are bonded to the teeth, wires are placed, and elastics are added.
- For aligners: your customised trays are given, and the first set is checked for comfort and fit.
- Regular Adjustments and Follow-Up Visits
- You visit the clinic regularly for wire adjustments, elastic changes, or aligner progress checks.
- The orthodontist monitors progress, compliance, and any need for refinements in the plan.
- Minor issues like a loose bracket, poking wire, or lost aligner are handled as needed; true orthodontic emergencies are rare but can be managed promptly.
Finishing and Detailing
- Final tooth positions are fine-tuned so they look straight and meet properly when you bite.
- The bite and jaw function are checked to ensure comfortable chewing and speaking.
Retainers and Long-Term Maintenance
- After braces or aligners are completed, retainers (fixed or removable) are given to hold the teeth in their new positions.
- You are advised how long and how often to wear retainers and how to clean and store them.
Comfort, Safety, and Cleaning During Braces Treatment
We aim to keep your treatment as comfortable and safe as possible:
- Local anesthesia is used if extractions or small procedures are required before orthodontics.
- Brackets and wires are trimmed and adjusted to reduce cheek and lip irritation.
- You are shown how to handle small issues like a loose bracket or poking wire until your visit.
- Our team teaches you how to brush and floss around braces, use special cleaning aids, and maintain good oral hygiene to prevent cavities, gum swelling, and bad breath.
Good cleaning and regular maintenance help you get the best results from your braces treatment.
Duration of Braces Treatment
The length of braces treatment depends on:
- How severe the crowding, spacing, or bite problem is,
- Whether you have overbite, underbite, crossbite, or multiple issues together,
- If extractions or jaw-related procedures are needed in complex cases,
- How well you follow instructions, keep appointments, and wear elastics or aligners as advised.
On average, braces treatments take 12 to 24 months. Mild cases may finish sooner, and complex cases may take longer. During the consultation, the dentist will share an individualised time estimate for your braces treatment so you can plan around school, exams, work, or special events.

FAQs
Braces can usually be started once most permanent teeth have come in, around 11 to 13 years for many children. Many teen and adult patients also successfully complete braces or aligner treatment. The orthodontist will check jaw growth and tooth development before suggesting the right time.
You may feel mild soreness or tightness for a few days after braces are placed or adjusted. This feeling is normal and usually settles on its own. Most people describe it as pressure, not sharp pain, and it is manageable with soft foods and simple pain relief if needed.
Braces use brackets, wires, and elastics that stay fixed on the teeth all the time.
Invisible aligners use clear, removable trays that you take out while eating and brushing. Aligners are more discreet and easier to clean around, but they only work well if you wear them for the recommended number of hours every day.
No, extractions are not always required. They are recommended only when there is very severe crowding or certain bite problems that cannot be corrected without creating space. The orthodontist will explain clearly if extractions are needed in your case and why.
After braces or aligners are removed, teeth can slowly move back towards their old positions. Retainers hold the teeth in their new place and protect the result of your treatment. Skipping retainers can cause relapse and undo part of the improvement you achieved.
