Your treatment plan is based on your examination and goals.
Start with your concern
What brings you to an orthodontist?
You do not need to know the name of a treatment before asking about your teeth.
Crowded or overlapping teeth
Teeth that overlap can be difficult to clean. An assessment looks at the space available and how it could be managed.
Spaces between teeth
The size and cause of gaps matter. A plan considers the whole bite rather than closing a visible space in isolation.
Teeth that project forward
The position of the teeth and jaws is assessed together. Age and growth can influence the options discussed.
Upper and lower teeth meeting unevenly
A bite assessment can help explain an overlap, crossbite or open bite and whether orthodontic treatment may help.

WHY GRIN & BRACE
A clear starting point, close to home.
Understanding the treatment
More than lining up the front teeth
Braces use brackets attached to teeth and a connecting wire to guide gradual tooth movement. Orthodontic planning considers how your upper and lower teeth meet, as well as their position. A photograph alone cannot show everything needed to decide on treatment.
At a consultation, you can explain what bothers you and what you hope to change. An examination helps identify suitable options and any dental care needed first. You should understand the proposed plan, its limitations and your role in looking after your teeth before deciding to begin.

Living with treatment
The everyday side of wearing braces
Make cleaning a routine
Clean carefully around brackets and the gumline using the tools advised for you. Continue routine dental check-ups alongside orthodontic appointments.
Protect the appliance
Hard or sticky foods can damage braces. Ask about suitable food choices and contact the clinic if a bracket loosens or a wire causes trouble.
Keep your review visits
Appointments check progress and oral health. Missed visits and repeated breakages can affect treatment time and the achievable result.

Your questions
A little more clarity
before your visit.
These answers are a starting point. Your consultation is where we discuss your individual situation.
Can adults have braces?
Yes. Adults can have orthodontic treatment when their teeth, gums and supporting bone are suitable. Existing dental work and gum health are considered in planning.
How often will I need to visit?
Adjustment visits are usually every 4 weeks, or every 6–8 weeks for self-ligating braces. Your schedule is confirmed when treatment begins.
How long will treatment take?
Braces treatment typically takes around 12–30 months. Dr. Shreya will give you a personal estimate based on your bite, the movements needed and your oral health, and review progress during treatment.
Will braces hurt?
Tenderness is common after fitting or adjustments, and brackets may rub at first. Ask for advice suited to you and contact the clinic about persistent or unexpected pain.
Will teeth need to be removed?
Not everyone needs extractions. Space requirements and the bite determine the options. Any proposed removal should be explained with its reasons and alternatives.
Can I play sport or a musical instrument?
Discuss your activity before starting. A suitable mouthguard may be needed for contact sport, and playing a wind instrument can require an adjustment period.
Why are retainers necessary?
Teeth can shift after braces are removed. Retainers help maintain their position, and long-term use is commonly advised according to your individual instructions.
What should I bring to a consultation?
Bring your questions, current medication details and any recent dental records you have. Tell Dr. Shreya about previous orthodontic treatment and dental concerns.
Are there any risks or limitations?
Orthodontic treatment can involve tenderness, mouth irritation, tooth decay or enamel marks, gum problems and changes to tooth roots. Teeth can move again after treatment. Your own risk depends on several factors; ask which are relevant to you and how they will be managed.
