Straighten Your Smile With Expert Braces Treatment
Having misaligned, crowded, or crooked teeth can be challenging — and not just aesthetically. Malocclusion prevents teeth from performing routine activities, making it difficult to bite, chew, and even speak properly. This is where dental braces step in.
Braces are orthodontic tools that correct dental problems such as crooked, misaligned, or crowded teeth. They work by applying gentle, continuous pressure to slowly shift teeth into proper alignment — giving you a healthy, confident, and beautiful smile. At Dr. Nagar's Teeth & Braces Dental Clinic, Lucknow, braces treatment is led by Dr. Amit Nagar, an orthodontist with over 38 years of experience and former Professor at KGMC Lucknow.

Benefits of Orthodontic Treatment
Braces do far more than improve your smile — they improve your overall health, comfort, and quality of life.
Straight teeth are easier to brush and floss, reducing the risk of cavities, gum disease, and tooth decay over time.
Properly aligned teeth allow you to chew food into smaller pieces, aiding digestion and reducing stomach discomfort.
Misaligned teeth can lead to jawbone erosion. Braces align teeth correctly, preventing bone loss and long-term structural damage.
A straighter smile greatly improves self-esteem and reduces anxiety — helping you smile, laugh, and speak without hesitation.
Malocclusion can cause speech difficulties. Correcting tooth alignment can fix lisps and improve speech clarity.
Protruding teeth are more prone to breakage during accidents. Braces move them to a safer, more protected position.
Are You the Right Candidate?
Dental braces are suitable for children, teenagers, and adults alike. If you or your child is facing any of the following conditions, an orthodontic evaluation is highly recommended:
Crowding
Too many teeth for the jaw space
Deep Bite
Upper front teeth overlap lower teeth too much
Crossbite
Upper and lower teeth don't meet correctly
Overjet
Upper front teeth protrude outward
Open Bite
Front teeth don't touch when mouth is closed
Gummy Smile
Excessive gum shows when smiling
Underbite
Lower teeth sit in front of upper teeth
Spacing
Gaps between teeth due to missing or small teeth
If you identify with any of these conditions, we encourage you to visit our clinic in Aliganj, Lucknow for a thorough orthodontic evaluation. Early intervention leads to better results and shorter treatment times.
Every smile is unique. We offer multiple braces solutions so you can choose what suits your lifestyle and needs.
The most common type — highly effective, durable, and affordable. Ideal for all age groups and complex orthodontic cases.
Tooth-coloured or clear brackets that blend with your natural teeth. Effective like metal braces but far more discreet.
Advanced self-locking mechanism — no elastic ties needed. Less friction, fewer adjustments, faster treatment, and greater comfort.
Attached to the inside (tongue-side) of the teeth — completely invisible from the outside. Perfect for professionals and adults.
Self-Ligating (Damon) Braces vs. Conventional Braces
Self-ligating braces, commonly known as Damon Braces, use a patented slide mechanism to hold the archwire in place — eliminating the need for elastic ties. This results in significantly reduced friction and a more comfortable treatment experience.
Your Braces Treatment Journey
From your first consultation to your final retainer fitting — here's what to expect at every stage.
Dr. Nagar evaluates your teeth, bite, and jaw with clinical examination and X-rays. We discuss your goals and recommend the most suitable braces type.
A personalised orthodontic treatment plan is created, outlining the expected duration, type of braces, and cost. All your questions are addressed.
Brackets are bonded to your teeth and the archwire is placed. The appointment typically takes 60–90 minutes. You may feel slight pressure initially.
You'll visit our clinic every 4–8 weeks for wire adjustments and progress checks. Each visit keeps your teeth moving in the right direction.
Once your teeth reach their ideal position, the braces are carefully removed. Your teeth are cleaned and polished to reveal your new smile!
Retainers are custom-made to hold your new smile in place. Wearing them as directed ensures your results last a lifetime.

Proper care ensures comfort, hygiene, and faster treatment. Follow these simple guidelines throughout your orthodontic journey.
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to clean around brackets and wires after each meal. An interdental brush helps reach hidden areas.
Use a floss threader or orthodontic floss to clean between teeth and under the wire daily. This prevents plaque build-up.
Skip hard candies, popcorn, ice, chewing gum, and sticky sweets. These can damage brackets and wires.
Use a fluoride mouthwash daily to strengthen enamel and keep gums healthy during your treatment period.
Don't skip your regular adjustment visits. Consistent appointments ensure your teeth move on schedule.
After braces are removed, wear your retainer as instructed. Skipping retainer wear can allow teeth to shift back.
Frequently Asked Questions
The ideal age for braces is typically 10–14 years when most permanent teeth have erupted. However, adults of any age can benefit from orthodontic treatment. Dr. Nagar recommends a first orthodontic evaluation by age 7 to catch issues early.
Treatment duration varies depending on the complexity of the case. On average, braces are worn for 12 to 24 months. Simpler cases may be shorter, while complex malocclusions can take longer. Dr. Nagar will give you an accurate estimate after evaluation.
You may experience mild soreness for 2–5 days after braces are placed or adjusted. This is normal and indicates your teeth are moving. Over-the-counter pain relievers and orthodontic wax help manage discomfort. Most patients adapt quickly.
Yes — ceramic braces are equally effective as metal braces for correcting most orthodontic problems. The main difference is aesthetics; ceramic brackets are tooth-coloured and much less visible than metal ones.
Absolutely. Adults make up a significant portion of our orthodontic patients. Modern braces options like ceramic, Damon, and lingual braces are especially popular among adults who want effective yet discreet treatment.
The cost depends on the type of braces and the complexity of treatment. Dr. Nagar's clinic offers affordable pricing and flexible payment options. Contact us or visit for a personalised cost estimate.
Retainers hold your teeth in their new, corrected positions after braces are removed. Without retainers, teeth can gradually shift back. We provide custom-made retainers and guide you on how long and how often to wear them.
