What Are Braces and How Do They Work?

Dental braces are fixed orthodontic appliances that apply gentle, consistent pressure to your teeth to move them gradually into correct alignment. Unlike clear aligners — which are removable and work best for mild to moderate cases — fixed braces are bonded directly to the teeth and work continuously, 24 hours a day, making them the most powerful and reliable option for a wide range of orthodontic problems.

A standard braces system consists of three main components:

Brackets — Small metal or ceramic squares bonded directly to the front surface of each tooth. They serve as anchor points for the archwire.

Archwire — A thin metal wire that runs through the brackets across your entire arch. This wire exerts the primary corrective force that moves your teeth.

Ligatures (Elastic Ties) — Small elastic bands or metal ties that hold the archwire within each bracket. These are changed at every adjustment appointment and come in different colours — popular among younger patients.

Additional components used when needed:

– Bands — Metal rings cemented around back molars for additional anchorage

– Springs — Placed on the archwire to open or close spaces between teeth

– Elastics / Rubber Bands — Connect upper and lower braces to correct bite relationships

– Expanders — Widen the upper arch where the palate is too narrow

The biology behind braces: When sustained pressure is applied to a tooth, the bone on the pressure side gradually resorbs (breaks down), while new bone forms on the tension side. This allows the tooth to move through bone — millimetre by millimetre — over the course of treatment. It is a completely natural physiological process.

At Aura Care Clinic, Hauz Khas, our orthodontic specialist plans every tooth movement with precision, monitoring your progress at every adjustment visit to ensure treatment stays on track and on schedule.

Types of Braces:

Not all braces are the same — and the right type depends on your orthodontic issue, your lifestyle, your age, and your aesthetic preferences. Here is a full breakdown of every option.

METAL BRACES (Traditional Stainless Steel)

The most tried, tested, and reliable orthodontic appliance in history. Metal braces use high-grade stainless steel brackets and archwires to deliver powerful, precise tooth movement for a wide range of problems — from simple crowding to complex bite corrections.

Best for: All age groups; moderate to severe crowding, spacing, and bite issues.

Visibility: Most visible — silver brackets are noticeable.

Durability: Extremely durable; rarely break.

Cost: Most affordable braces option.

Treatment time: depending on complexity.

CERAMIC BRACES (Tooth-Coloured)

Ceramic braces work identically to metal braces but use tooth-coloured or clear ceramic brackets that blend with your natural enamel shade. The result is effective orthodontic treatment that is far less noticeable than metal braces.

Best for: Teenagers and adults who want effective treatment with lower visibility.

Visibility: Much less noticeable than metal — brackets blend with tooth colour.

Note: Ceramic brackets can stain if you regularly drink coffee, tea, or dark beverages.

Treatment time: depending on complexity.

SELF-LIGATING BRACES

A modern evolution of traditional braces. Built-in clip mechanisms replace elastic ligatures, reducing friction on the archwire and allowing teeth to move more efficiently.

Best for: Patients seeking potentially shorter treatment times and fewer appointments.

Availability: In both metal and ceramic versions.

Benefit: Fewer food traps; easier to clean.

LINGUAL BRACES (Hidden Braces)

Lingual braces are bonded to the inside (tongue-facing) surfaces of your teeth — making them completely invisible from the front. Custom-fabricated to the precise contours of each patient’s inner tooth surfaces.

Best for: Adults and professionals who need effective treatment but cannot accept visible appliances.

Visibility: Completely invisible from outside.

CLEAR ALIGNERS — HOW THEY COMPARE TO BRACES

We offer clear aligners as a separate treatment at Aura Care Clinic. Clear aligners are removable transparent trays ideal for mild to moderate cases. Fixed braces are more powerful and appropriate for complex cases, severe crowding, significant bite correction, and cases where patient compliance with removal cannot be guaranteed. Our orthodontist will evaluate your case and give you an honest recommendation on which will achieve the best result for you.

What Dental and Bite Problems Can Braces Correct?

TOOTH ALIGNMENT ISSUES:

– Crowded Teeth — Insufficient jaw space causing overlapping, twisting, or compressed teeth.

– Gapped Teeth (Diastema) — Spaces between teeth, most commonly between upper front teeth.

– Crooked or Rotated Teeth — Individual teeth grown at incorrect angles or rotated on their axis.

– Misplaced Midline — Upper and lower dental centres not aligned, creating a lopsided appearance.

BITE PROBLEMS (MALOCCLUSION):

– Overbite — Upper front teeth overlap too far over lower front teeth vertically.

– Underbite — Lower front teeth protrude in front of upper front teeth.

– Crossbite — One or more upper teeth bite inside the lower teeth.

– Open Bite — Upper and lower front teeth do not make contact when biting.

– Deep Bite — Excessive vertical overlap where upper teeth almost completely cover lower teeth.

STRUCTURAL CONCERNS:

– Impacted Teeth — Teeth blocked from fully erupting by neighbouring teeth.

– Narrow Palate — Upper jaw too narrow; often treated with a palatal expander before or during braces.

Early intervention matters: Many bite problems are most easily corrected during childhood and adolescence when the jaw is still developing. However, braces are highly effective for adults too — it is never too late to start.

Your Braces Treatment Journey — Step by Step

Step 1 — Orthodontic Consultation

Your orthodontist examines your teeth, jaw, bite, and facial structure. Clinical photographs and digital X-rays (OPG and/or lateral cephalometric) are taken. We discuss your concerns, goals, and which braces type suits you best.

Step 2 — Treatment Planning & Records

Detailed orthodontic records are compiled — impressions or digital scans, X-ray analysis, and a full treatment plan outlining tooth movements, duration, and total cost.

Step 3 — Pre-Treatment Dental Work (If Required)

Cavities, gum disease, impacted teeth, or other oral health issues are addressed before braces placement. Braces should never go on unhealthy teeth.

Step 4 — Brace Fitting

Brackets are bonded to your teeth and the archwire is threaded and secured.

Step 5 — Adjustment Appointments (Every 4–8 Weeks)

Progressive archwires are fitted. Elastics may be added. Each visit takes 20–30 minutes and measures your progress.

Step 6 — Mid-Treatment Review

Comprehensive review at approximately the halfway point. X-rays may be retaken and the plan refined.

Step 7 — Braces Removal (Debonding)

Brackets and wires are carefully removed. Teeth are cleaned and polished. The moment patients look forward to throughout their entire treatment.

Step 8 — Retainer Fitting (Non-Negotiable)

A custom retainer is fitted immediately after removal. Without a retainer, teeth will move back towards their original positions (relapse). We provide complete retainer guidance and a wearing schedule.

Caring for Your Braces During Treatment

FOODS TO AVOID COMPLETELY:

Hard foods — whole apples, raw carrots, hard biscuits, crusty bread, popcorn, hard nuts
Sticky foods — chewing gum, toffee, caramel, chikki, sticky sweets
Chewy foods — hard roti, tough meat requiring excessive force
Foods you bite directly — corn on the cob, whole fruits (slice them first)
Ice — never chew ice under any circumstances

SAFE FOODS WITH BRACES:

Soft foods — dal, khichdi, idli, soft chapati, soft-cooked rice, yoghurt, paneer
Soft fruits — bananas, mangoes, melon, berries
Dairy — milk, soft cheese, curd

ORAL HYGIENE — non-negotiable:

Brush after every meal — food traps rapidly around brackets
Use an orthodontic toothbrush with angled bristles
Use an interdental brush or floss threader daily under the archwire
Use fluoride mouthwash daily to protect enamel
Attend every scheduled adjustment appointment — missing appointments extends treatment

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS — BRACES TREATMENT

Are braces painful?

Braces do not hurt during placement. After each adjustment appointment, mild aching or pressure for a few days is normal as teeth begin responding to new forces. This is manageable with over-the-counter pain relief and decreases as you progress through treatment. Most patients find discomfort most noticeable in the first few adjustments, reducing significantly afterwards. At Aura Care Clinic, we use efficient contemporary techniques to minimise discomfort throughout.

How long does braces treatment take?

Most treatments at Aura Care Clinic take 12–30 months, with adjustment appointments every few weeks. Simple cases may resolve closer to 12 months. Complex bite corrections or severe crowding typically take 24–30 months. Your orthodontist will give a realistic timeline estimate after reviewing your records at the consultation.

What is the difference between metal braces and ceramic braces?

Both types work through the same mechanism and deliver the same orthodontic outcome. Metal braces use silver stainless steel brackets that are clearly visible. Ceramic braces use tooth-coloured brackets that blend with natural enamel, making them far less noticeable. Ceramic braces cost slightly more and can stain from coffee or tea. Our orthodontist will help you choose based on your case and preferences.

Should I get braces or clear aligners?

Both are effective — but for different case types. Braces are more powerful and appropriate for moderate to severe crowding, significant bite problems, rotations, and where compliance with removal is a concern. Clear aligners suit mild to moderate cases and patients prioritising aesthetics and removability. At Aura Care Clinic we offer both and provide an honest clinical recommendation based on your specific needs.

Do I need to wear a retainer after braces?

Yes — without exception. After braces are removed, teeth are in new positions but the surrounding bone has not fully stabilised. Without a retainer, teeth drift back towards original positions (orthodontic relapse). At Aura Care Clinic, custom retainers are fitted immediately after removal with a personalised wearing schedule.
