Why Orthodontic Treatment Matters
Orthodontics is more than just straightening teeth. It improves your bite, oral health, and overall confidence. At Smile Care Dental Clinic, we provide the best dental care in Bangalore by offering both traditional braces and modern clear aligners based on your unique needs.
🦷 What Are Braces?
Braces are fixed metal or ceramic brackets attached to your teeth with wires and bands. They apply continuous pressure to slowly align your teeth into the right position.
Pros of Braces:
- Suitable for all levels of misalignment
- Often more affordable than aligners
- Doesn’t require patient discipline to wear
Considerations:
- May cause discomfort initially
- Visible on teeth
- Needs regular tightening appointments
What Are Clear Aligners?
Aligners like Invisalign are transparent, removable trays that gradually shift your teeth. They’re custom-made and changed every 1–2 weeks.
Pros of Aligners:
- Nearly invisible and discreet
- Can be removed for eating or brushing
- Comfortable with fewer mouth sores
Considerations:
- Requires wearing 20–22 hours a day
- Not ideal for very complex cases
- Slightly higher cost than braces

What Our Experts Recommend
At Smile Care Dental Clinic, we assess your bite, teeth position, age, and lifestyle before recommending the right option. For school-age children or complex corrections, braces are often more effective. For working professionals or those concerned about looks, clear aligners are an excellent choice.
No matter which you choose, we ensure you get the best dental care in Bangalore with personalised treatment plans.
