Braces gently guide your teeth into place with brackets and a wire, and remain one of the most predictable ways to fix crowding, gaps and bite problems. Our MDS orthodontist, Dr. Umang Gupta, offers metal, ceramic and self-ligating (Damon-type) braces at Sector 45 and Palam Vihar.
Three ways to straighten your teeth. Each works well; the choice is about looks, comfort, visits and budget.
Stainless-steel brackets held on the wire with small coloured elastic ties. The most proven, affordable option, and kids love choosing tie colours.
Tie changes at each visit
Treatment from₹30,000
Brackets made of tooth-coloured ceramic that blend with your teeth, with clear or white ties. Just as effective as metal, but far less noticeable.
Avoid staining foods early on
Treatment from₹40,000
Brackets with a built-in sliding door that holds the wire, so no elastic ties are needed. Damon™ by Ormco is a well-known self-ligating system. Less friction lets teeth move smoothly.

Each bracket holds the archwire, which applies gentle, steady pressure. Over months, the bone around each tooth remodels and the teeth move into their new positions.
From crowding and gaps to complex bite problems.
From consultation to your final smile, usually 12–24 months.
Photos, X-rays and scans to measure your bite, and a clear plan with timeline and cost.
Brackets are fixed in one comfortable visit of about an hour. No injections.
Short visits every 4–6 weeks (fewer with self-ligating) to change or tighten the wire.
Brackets are removed and your teeth are polished to reveal your new smile.
Retainers hold your teeth in their new position for the long term.
There's no upper age limit for a straighter smile.
7–11 years
An early check finds jaw and bite problems while children are still growing, sometimes making later treatment simpler.
12–18 years
The most common time for braces. Metal braces with colourful ties or discreet ceramic braces are popular choices.
Any age
It's never too late. Ceramic or self-ligating braces are discreet options that fit a working life.
A few simple swaps protect your brackets and keep treatment on track.
Clean teeth mean faster, healthier treatment.

Cost, types, Damon braces, time and comfort.
At Healing Touch Dental, metal braces start at ₹30,000, ceramic braces at ₹40,000, and self-ligating (Damon-type) braces at ₹55,000. The exact fee depends on your case and treatment time.
All three straighten teeth effectively. Metal is the most economical, ceramic is the most discreet, and self-ligating braces need fewer visits and use gentler forces. Our orthodontist will recommend the best option for you.
Damon™ braces, by Ormco, are a self-ligating system. Each bracket has a built-in sliding door that holds the wire, so no elastic ties are needed. This reduces friction and often means fewer adjustment visits.
Usually 12 to 24 months, depending on how much your teeth need to move.
Your teeth may feel tender for a few days after bonding and after each adjustment. Soft food and ordinary painkillers help.
Yes. Many of our braces patients are adults, and ceramic or self-ligating braces are popular discreet choices.
