Retention and long-term smile maintenance

Dental Braces are a type of fixed orthodontic treatment to straighten teeth. They consist of wires, brackets, and bands .Braces (Teeth Clip) correct a wide range of Dental issues. It includes teeth straightening, jaw positioning, aesthetics, and facial symmetry etc. Teeth Braces improve chewing efficiency, speech clarity, and smile symmetry by gradually shifting teeth into the right position with gentle pressure applied over time.

Conventional Braces

Metal Braces

These are time-tested, fixed braces where small brackets are bonded to your teeth and connected with a wire. They allow us to move teeth with a very high level of control and precision. The most robust and reliable system in orthodontics.

Why we use them

Ideal for complex alignment issues

Extremely precise control over tooth movement

Consistent, predictable outcomes

What you’ll notice

They are visible—but highly efficient. For many cases, especially complex ones, this remains the gold standard.

Ceramic Braces

A more aesthetic version of conventional braces, designed to blend with your natural teeth.

Why patients choose them

Less noticeable than metal braces

Suitable for most orthodontic corrections

A balanced choice between performance and appearance

What to keep in mind
They require slightly more care to maintain their appearance, but deliver excellent results when used appropriately.

Metal Self-Ligating Braces

Best suited for
Patients looking for efficiency, comfort, and reduced chair time.

What you’ll experience

Faster early alignment in many cases

Less “tightness” after adjustments

Streamlined appointments

Ceramic Self-Ligating Braces

The aesthetic upgrade
Combines the subtle appearance of ceramic braces with the efficiency of self-ligation.

Why it stands out

Discreet yet high-performance

Comfortable and hygienic

Ideal for professionals and adult patients

DAMON BRACES

What makes it different

Light, biologically compatible forces
Instead of heavy pressure, we use gentle, continuous forces that allow teeth to move naturally within the bone.
Emphasis on natural arch development
Rather than routinely removing teeth, the approach often focuses on creating space by gently broadening your smile—where appropriate.
Facial aesthetics matter
We don’t just align teeth—we design smiles that support your facial profile, lip support, and overall harmony.
Greater comfort, fewer visits
Patients often report a more comfortable experience with fewer adjustment appointments.

Our clinical stance (honest, evidence-based)

Not every case benefits from expansion over extraction

Treatment decisions are always diagnosis-driven

Long-term stability and gum health are never compromised

While the Damon philosophy offers meaningful advantages, we do not apply it blindly.

At Niramaya, philosophy never overrides biology or evidence.

The Niramaya Difference

Biomechanics That Are Planned, Not Forced

Tooth movement is guided using controlled forces for predictable and safe outcomes.

Diagnosis That Considers Growth & Function

We evaluate jaw relationships, growth patterns, and bite—not just alignment.

Customised Appliance Selection

Braces are chosen based on your clinical needs and lifestyle—not a one-size approach.

Regular, Meaningful Adjustments

Each visit is purposeful, ensuring progress stays on track without unnecessary delays.

Stability as the End Goal

Retention and long-term follow-up are integral to maintaining results—not optional add-ons.

Everything You Need to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What are the types of braces for teeth?

The types of dental / teeth braces are Metal, Ceramic, Self-ligating, Lingual, damon and invisible braces / Clear aligners

2. How Long Does It Take To Put Dental Braces On?

After bonding the dental braces, it takes about 1-2 hours to put on the dental braces for the teeth to finish.

3. Are Teeth Extracted For Orthodontic Treatment?

Not always. Extraction is only needed if there’s severe crowding or lack of space for teeth alignment.

4. Are Tooth Braces Painful?

You may experience some kind of discomfort or soreness after getting braces initially. This will go away soon. Although, if the pain persists, it is important to visit your orthodontist.

5. How Long does the braces treatment take?

Orthodontic treatment usually lasts 12–36 months, depending on how complex your case is.

6. What to avoid eating with braces?

Avoid hard or sticky foods like nuts, chewing gum, caramel, and hard candy to prevent damage.

7. What is the difference between Aligners and Traditional Braces?

Teeth Aligners are clear, removable trays, while traditional braces are fixed with wires and brackets. Aligners are more discreet, but braces can handle complex cases.

8. How Often Will I Need to Visit the Dental Clinic for Braces / Aligners?

After getting braces, you’ll need to visit the dental clinic frequently in about 3-4 weeks.

9. How often will my adjustments be?

The adjustment of braces will take place after every 6-8 weeks.

Functional & Orthopaedic Appliances

Guiding growth. Correcting the cause—not just the teeth.

Orthodontics in growing children is not only about straightening teeth. In many cases, the underlying issue is how the jaws are developing. Functional and orthopaedic appliances are designed to guide jaw growth early, reducing the need for complex treatment later.

At Niramaya, we intervene at the right time—not too early, not too late—to harness natural growth and create lasting results.

What Are Functional & Orthopaedic Appliances?

These are specialised devices—often removable, sometimes fixed—that influence how the upper and lower jaws grow in relation to each other.

Instead of simply moving teeth into position, these appliances address the foundation of the problem: jaw imbalance.

They are most effective in children and early teenagers, when growth can be guided predictably.

When Do We Recommend Them?

We may suggest functional or orthopaedic treatment if your child has:

A retruded lower jaw (commonly seen as prominent upper teeth)

A forward-positioned lower jaw

Narrow upper arches or developing bite discrepancies

Early signs of crowding due to jaw size mismatch

Habits affecting growth (mouth breathing, thumb sucking)

Early correction in these cases can significantly improve both function and facial balance.

Why Timing Matters

Growth is an opportunity—but it’s time-sensitive.

Functional and orthopaedic appliances work best during specific growth phases. When timed correctly, they can:

Reduce or eliminate the need for tooth extractions

Minimise the need for jaw surgery later in life

Create space for natural alignment of teeth

Improve facial profile and symmetry

At Niramaya, we use careful clinical assessment to identify this “window of opportunity.”

The Niramaya Approach

Growth-guided planning

We work with biology, not against it

Minimal intervention philosophy

Only treat when it truly benefits the child

Future-focused care

Reducing complexity of later orthodontics

Parent education

Clear, honest communication at every step

Everything You Need to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

1. At what age should my child be evaluated?

An orthodontic screening is ideally done around 7–9 years of age, when early growth patterns can be assessed.

2. Will my child still need braces later?

In many cases, yes—but treatment becomes simpler, shorter, and more predictable after early correction.

3. Are these appliances uncomfortable?

There may be a short adjustment phase, but most children adapt within a few days.

4. Is it absolutely necessary?

Not every child needs early intervention. We recommend it only when it offers a clear, long-term advantage.

Aligners3-18 VISITS/ 6MONTHS-18 MONTHS

Clear aligners are a modern and discreet way to straighten teeth and correct bite problems (malocclusion). Instead of metal braces, this treatment uses a series of custom-made, transparent trays that gradually move your teeth into the desired position. They are designed using digital scans, allowing you to see a preview of your expected results even before starting.

Who is it for?

Clear aligners work well for many common concerns such as crowded teeth, gaps, overbite, underbite, and mild to moderate misalignment. They are especially popular among adults and young professionals who want a subtle treatment option. However, very complex cases may still require traditional braces or a combination of treatments.

How does the process work?

Your journey begins with a detailed consultation, including a 3D scan of your teeth and basic records. Based on this, a step-by-step digital plan is created. You will receive a series of aligners, each worn for about 1–2 weeks. Every new set gently shifts your teeth closer to the final position.

For best results, aligners should be worn for 20–22 hours a day. You can remove them while eating, drinking (anything other than water), and brushing your teeth, making them a convenient option for daily life.

What helps the aligners work better?

In some cases, small tooth-colored attachments are placed on certain teeth to help guide movement more precisely. Occasionally, minimal reshaping between teeth may be done to create space and improve alignment.

Advantages of clear aligners

Clear aligners are nearly invisible, comfortable, and easy to maintain. Since they are removable, you can brush and floss normally, reducing the risk of stains and gum issues often seen with braces. There are no wires or brackets, which means fewer chances of irritation or emergency visits.

Things to keep in mind

Success with aligners depends heavily on wearing them as advised. Skipping wear time can delay results or affect the outcome. Regular check-ups are important to track progress and make small adjustments if needed.

How long does treatment take?

Treatment time varies based on the complexity of your case, but most patients complete it within 6 to 18 months. After treatment, wearing retainers is essential to keep your teeth in their new position.

In simple terms, clear aligners offer a comfortable, aesthetic, and effective way to achieve a confident, well-aligned smile—provided they are used with proper guidance and commitment.

What can I expect when I come for Clear Aligners / Invisalign?

Everything You Need to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What are clear aligners?

Clear aligners are a series of custom-made, transparent trays designed to gradually straighten your teeth. Advanced systems like Invisalign use digital 3D planning to map precise tooth movement from start to finish—without the need for metal brackets or wires.

2. How do clear aligners work?

Your treatment begins with a digital scan and smile simulation. Based on this, a sequence of aligners is fabricated—each applying controlled forces to move teeth incrementally.

To improve precision, small tooth-colored attachments or minimal enamel reshaping (IPR) may be used.

3. How long does treatment take?

Treatment duration varies depending on complexity:
Mild cases: 4–6 months
Moderate cases: 6–12 months
Complex cases: 12–18 months+
Consistency in wearing aligners plays a critical role in achieving timely results.

4. How many hours a day should I wear aligners?

Aligners must be worn for 20–22 hours daily. They should only be removed while eating, drinking (except water), and during oral hygiene routines.

5. Are clear aligners painful?

Most patients experience mild pressure or tightness for a couple of days when switching to a new set. This is normal and indicates active tooth movement. Overall, discomfort is significantly less compared to traditional braces.

6. Can I eat and drink with aligners?

Aligners should always be removed before eating or drinking anything other than water. This helps prevent staining, damage, and bacterial buildup.

7. Will aligners affect my speech?

You may notice a slight lisp initially. This is temporary and usually resolves within a few days as your tongue adapts.

8. Are clear aligners as effective as braces?

Clear aligners are highly effective for mild to moderate alignment and bite correction.

For more complex orthodontic cases, your dentist may recommend braces or a hybrid treatment approach for optimal results.

9. How often are dental visits required?

Review appointments are typically scheduled every 4–8 weeks to monitor progress and provide your next set of aligners.

10. What if I lose or damage an aligner?

If an aligner is lost or damaged, contact your dentist immediately. You may be advised to wear your previous aligner or move to the next one, depending on your treatment stage.

11. Will I need retainers after treatment?

Yes. Retainers are essential to maintain your new smile.

Most patients are advised night-time wear long-term to prevent relapse.

12. How do I clean my aligners?

Rinse with lukewarm water
Gently brush with a soft toothbrush
Use aligner cleaning solutions if needed
Avoid hot water, as it can distort the aligners.
