A well-aligned smile isn't only about appearance — it's about teeth you can actually clean, a bite that works, and a jaw that isn't quietly under strain for decades. Dental braces in Surat at Summirow Dental Hospital are planned by orthodontic specialists for children, teens, and adults alike, using digital diagnostics to map every movement before the first bracket goes on. Crowding, gaps, overbites, or a bite that's never felt right — braces remain the most versatile, most predictable way to fix them for good.
Braces are orthodontic appliances that apply gentle, continuous pressure to move teeth into their planned positions — and, just as importantly, to correct how your upper and lower teeth meet. Modern braces are smaller, smoother, and faster than the ones you remember from school. They're the right choice for:
Classic and reliable — and nothing like the ones you remember. Today's brackets are far sleeker, more efficient, and the most cost-effective route to a great result.
Tooth-coloured brackets that blend in rather than announce themselves — the choice for professionals and image-conscious teens who still need the power of fixed braces.
No elastic ties means less friction, easier cleaning, and often fewer adjustment visits — comfortable, efficient, and low-maintenance.
Precision-engineered with 3D laser printing and custom-made for your teeth alone — superior fit, comfort, and finish. The premium end of fixed orthodontics.
Braces are planned and monitored by specialists who do this every day, the difference shows in the finish, not just the timeline.
iTero scanning and digital diagnostics map your movements before treatment starts, predictable results, fewer surprises along the way.
Metal, ceramic, self-ligating, DMLS, and aligners too. The recommendation fits your case, budget, and life, not our inventory.
Retainer planning and follow-through are part of the treatment, not an afterthought, because the goal is a straight smile in ten years, not just on removal day.
Most cases run 12 to 24 months, depending on how much movement your teeth need and how closely instructions are followed. Simple corrections can finish sooner; complex bite work takes longer. After your digital assessment, you'll get a realistic timeline for your case — not a generic average.
Aligners win on invisibility and convenience, and they handle mild to moderate cases beautifully. Braces are more powerful for complex bite corrections, severe crowding, and cases needing precise root control — and they work without depending on your discipline to wear them. We offer both, so the honest answer comes from your scan, not our preference.
Placement itself doesn't hurt. Expect mild soreness for a few days after fitting and after each adjustment — that's the feeling of teeth moving. Modern brackets are smaller and smoother than older systems, and any irritation is easily managed with orthodontic wax and soft foods for a day or two.
Ceramic braces are the most discreet fixed option — tooth-coloured brackets that blend with your enamel. If invisibility is your top priority and your case allows it, clear aligners go further still. During your consultation we'll tell you honestly whether your case can be treated with the more discreet options.
No. Teeth respond to orthodontic movement at any age, provided your gums and bone are healthy — and a significant share of our braces patients are adults in their thirties, forties, and beyond. If discretion matters at work, ceramic braces or aligners usually solve that concern.
Sticky and hard foods are the enemies: toffees, chewing gum, chikki, ice, whole apples, and hard nuts can break brackets and add months to your treatment. Everything else is manageable — cut firm foods into pieces and chew with your back teeth. It's a short-term adjustment for a permanent result.
The cost depends on which system you choose — metal is the most economical, then ceramic and self-ligating, with custom DMLS braces at the premium end — and on how complex your case is. After your examination and digital assessment, you receive a clear, itemized plan with the complete cost and duration before any treatment begins.
