Braces & Invisible Clear Aligners in Ahmedabad
Crowded, crooked or gapped teeth respond beautifully to the right orthodontic plan. Dr. Vernica will help you choose between braces and clear aligners based on your case, your budget and how visible you want your treatment to be.
The essentials
What are braces & clear aligners?
Braces and clear aligners both straighten teeth and correct a misaligned bite — they simply get there differently. Braces use brackets and wires that stay on your teeth and are adjusted at regular visits. Clear aligners are a series of transparent, BPA-free plastic trays, custom-made to fit snugly over your teeth and swapped every few weeks as your smile moves.
Which one suits you depends on how complex the movement is, how disciplined you'll be about wearing removable trays, and how discreet you need the treatment to look. At your first visit we scan your teeth, show you what's achievable, and give you an honest comparison — including timelines and cost — before you commit to anything.
Your options
Your options, honestly compared
Metal braces
The traditional workhorse — visible metal brackets and wires, but dependable for even the most complex corrections, and the most budget-friendly option.
Ceramic braces
Tooth-coloured or clear ceramic brackets that blend into your smile. The mechanics of metal braces with far less visual presence.
Lingual braces
Fitted to the back surface of your teeth, so they're invisible from the front. A good fit for professionals who face people all day.
Clear aligners
Transparent, removable BPA-free trays — virtually invisible when worn. Eat what you like, brush normally, and change trays as your teeth move.
How it works
Your visit, step by step
No surprises — here's exactly how the treatment unfolds.
Scan & smile assessment
Digital 3D scanning maps your teeth and bite. We identify exactly which teeth need to move and by how much.
Plan & preview
Dr. Vernica walks you through braces vs aligners for your specific case — duration, number of aligners or adjustment visits, and expected outcome.
Fitting
Brackets are bonded or your first aligner set is fitted, with clear instructions on wear time, eating and cleaning.
Regular reviews
Short check-ins every few weeks to adjust wires or hand over your next aligners, keeping movement on schedule.
Retention
Once teeth reach their new position, retainers hold them there — the step that protects everything you've invested.
Care guide
Before and after your appointment
Follow these and your treatment will go smoother — and heal faster.
Before — preparing well
- Keep up daily brushing and flossing before treatment starts
- Get any cavities filled before braces go on
- Have a professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar (especially before aligners)
- Stock up on soft foods — soups, yogurt, mashed potatoes — for the first adjustment days
- Quit smoking and tobacco products
- Come with questions — you'll get a full treatment plan with duration and expected outcome
After — healing well
- Attend every follow-up for monitoring and adjustments
- Use orthodontic wax or padding if brackets irritate your cheeks
- Wear retainers exactly as prescribed once treatment ends — teeth drift without them
- Brush twice daily and floss; clean aligners and retainers as instructed
- Avoid sticky or hard foods that can damage brackets or removable retainers
- Drink water regularly and keep a balanced diet
