What Are Braces?

Orthodontic treatment in Faridabad that moves teeth into perfect alignment

Braces are orthodontic appliances — small brackets bonded to the teeth and connected by a wire — that apply gentle, consistent pressure to gradually shift teeth into their ideal positions. Treatment duration varies from 6 to 24 months depending on complexity.

At Little Bites Clinic, we offer three types: traditional metal braces, tooth-coloured ceramic braces, and removable clear aligners. Dr. Nikitaa recommends the best option based on your child's age, dental condition, and lifestyle needs.

"The best time to start orthodontic treatment is when we catch issues early — usually between 7 and 10 years. But it's never too late for a beautiful, healthy smile."
— Dr. Nikitaa Dhingra Sanan, MDS Pediatric Dentistry

Complete Guide · Braces in Faridabad

Everything you need to know about braces for kids & teens in Faridabad

Basics
What Are Braces?

Brackets bonded to teeth and connected by an archwire — applying gentle, continuous pressure to gradually move teeth into correct positions. We offer 3 types: metal, ceramic & clear aligners, each suited to different ages and conditions.

Ages 7+
Metal Braces for Kids

Most effective & affordable option. Works for all misalignment types — crowded teeth, overbite, underbite, crossbite & gaps. Durable and highly reliable for younger children.

Ages 12+
Ceramic Braces for Teens

Tooth-coloured brackets that blend naturally — far less visible than metal. Ideal for image-conscious teenagers. As effective as metal braces for most cases. Requires careful maintenance to prevent staining.

Ages 14+
Clear Aligners

Nearly invisible, removable plastic trays. Suitable for mild to moderate misalignment. Can be removed for eating & brushing. Requires 20–22 hrs/day wear discipline for results.

Timing
Best Age for Braces

First assessment at age 7 (IAO recommendation). Full treatment typically starts ages 11–14. Early assessment means shorter treatment & better results — but braces work at any age.

Treatment
Bite Correction & Crooked Teeth

Treats overbite, underbite, crossbite & open bite. Untreated bite problems cause jaw pain, tooth wear & speech issues. Early correction protects long-term dental health.

Does My Child Need Braces?

Does your child need
braces in Faridabad?

Crooked teeth, bite problems and gaps are common and very treatable. Here are the most frequent reasons children and teenagers need orthodontic treatment in Faridabad.

01
Crowded or Crooked Teeth
When teeth don't have enough space to grow in straight, they overlap or twist. Braces gradually create space and guide teeth into proper alignment, making them easier to clean and reducing cavity risk.
Overlapping teeth Rotated teeth Spacing issues
02
Gaps Between Teeth
Spaces or gaps between teeth (diastema) can affect appearance and cause food trapping. Braces close gaps effectively and maintain proper tooth spacing for better function and hygiene.
Diastema Spacing gaps Uneven spacing
03
Overbite
When the upper front teeth protrude or cover the lower teeth excessively. An untreated overbite can cause jaw pain, wear on lower teeth, and speech issues. Early treatment gives the best results.
Deep bite Protruding upper teeth Jaw misalignment
04
Underbite & Crossbite
An underbite occurs when lower teeth sit in front of upper teeth. A crossbite is when upper and lower teeth don't meet correctly side-to-side. Both can affect chewing, jaw growth, and facial symmetry.
Underbite Crossbite Jaw issues
05
Protruding or Flared Teeth
Front teeth that stick out are more prone to injury during sports and can affect self-confidence. Braces retract protruding teeth to a natural, protected position — improving both appearance and safety.
Protruding front teeth Buck teeth
06
Early Interception (Age 7–9)
The ideal time for an orthodontic assessment is age 7, when the first adult molars appear. Early treatment can guide jaw growth, create space for erupting teeth, and often shorten overall treatment time significantly.

The Journey

Braces treatment process
at Little Bites Clinic, Faridabad

From your first orthodontic consultation in Faridabad to your child's final confident smile — here is exactly what the braces treatment journey looks like.

Step 01
Consultation & Smile Assessment
Dr. Nikitaa examines your child's teeth, bite, and jaw. She discusses your child's concerns, aesthetic goals, and lifestyle. Together you decide whether braces are needed and which type best suits your child.
Bring previous dental X-rays if available
Step 02
X-rays, Photos & Treatment Plan
We take detailed dental X-rays, clinical photographs, and digital impressions of your child's teeth. Dr. Nikitaa uses these records to plan the precise tooth movements needed — and shows you the expected result before treatment begins.
You'll see the full treatment plan and timeline upfront
Step 03
Brace Fitting Day
The brackets are carefully bonded to each tooth and the archwire is threaded through. This appointment typically takes 60–90 minutes. Your child may feel slight pressure — not pain. We teach proper brushing and care techniques on the same visit.
Mild soreness for 2–3 days after fitting is completely normal
Step 04
Regular Adjustment Visits
Every 6–8 weeks, your child visits for a brief adjustment appointment (20–30 min). The wire is changed or tightened to continue guiding teeth. Progress is monitored with photos and X-rays at key milestones throughout treatment.
Most children love watching their smile change at each visit!
Step 05
Brace Removal — The Big Reveal!
When teeth have reached their ideal positions, the brackets and wires are painlessly removed. Your child's teeth are polished, and we take final photos to compare with before-treatment records. This is always an exciting appointment!
Most kids can't stop smiling once the braces come off!
Step 06
Retainers & Long-term Care
After braces, retainers are essential to hold teeth in their new positions while bone settles. Retainers are worn full-time initially, then at night only. With proper retainer use, your child's beautiful smile lasts forever.
Retainers are included in your treatment plan

Parent Questions

Frequently asked
questions about braces

Everything parents and teenagers ask us about orthodontic treatment — answered honestly.

The Indian Association of Orthodontists recommends an orthodontic assessment around age 7 — when the first permanent molars erupt. At this stage, Dr. Nikitaa can identify developing problems and, if needed, start early interceptive treatment. However, most full brace treatment begins between ages 11–14 when most permanent teeth have erupted. Adults can also be treated successfully at any age.
Treatment duration depends on the severity of misalignment, the type of braces, and how well your child follows instructions. Simple cases can take as little as 6–9 months with clear aligners. Average metal or ceramic brace treatment takes 12–18 months. Complex cases may require up to 24 months. Dr. Nikitaa gives a realistic timeline estimate after reviewing your child's records at the planning appointment.
The fitting appointment itself is painless — no injections needed. After fitting and after each adjustment visit, children typically feel mild achiness or pressure for 1–3 days as teeth begin moving. Over-the-counter pain relief (paracetamol/ibuprofen) and soft foods help. Modern braces are far gentler than older systems. Clear aligners tend to cause the least discomfort. Most children adapt quickly and barely notice their braces within a week.
Metal braces are the most affordable, most versatile, and work for all severity levels — ideal for younger children and complex cases. Ceramic braces use tooth-coloured brackets that are far less noticeable, suitable for image-conscious teenagers. Clear aligners (like Invisalign or similar) are nearly invisible, fully removable, and very comfortable — but require excellent discipline (22 hours/day wear) and are best for mild-moderate cases in teens 14+. Dr. Nikitaa will recommend the most clinically appropriate option for your child.
With fixed braces (metal or ceramic), avoid hard foods (nuts, hard candy, raw carrots), sticky foods (chewing gum, toffees, caramel), and chewy foods (bagels, tough meat) as these can break brackets or bend wires. Cut hard fruits and vegetables into small pieces. Soft foods — pasta, rice, yoghurt, soft fruits — are always safe. Clear aligner wearers can eat anything, since aligners are removed before eating. We give a full food guide at the fitting appointment.
For metal and ceramic braces, adjustment visits are typically every 6–8 weeks. Each appointment takes 20–30 minutes. For clear aligners, new trays are usually issued every 1–2 weeks (or as prescribed), with check-up visits every 6–8 weeks. Staying on schedule with appointments is important — missed visits extend the total treatment time.
Yes — retainers are absolutely essential after braces. After brace removal, teeth naturally tend to drift back toward their original positions (called relapse). A retainer holds teeth in their new alignment while the bone around the roots stabilises. Retainers are typically worn full-time for 3–6 months, then at night only indefinitely. Skipping retainer wear is the most common reason for teeth shifting back after treatment.
Brace costs vary by type and complexity. Metal braces are the most affordable option. Ceramic braces cost moderately more. Clear aligners are the premium option. All prices are discussed transparently at your treatment planning appointment — before you commit to anything. We provide an itemised cost breakdown including adjustment visits, retainers, and follow-up care so there are no surprises. Please contact us on WhatsApp for a personalised estimate.

We are one of the most trusted orthodontic clinics for kids and teenagers in Faridabad.
Metal braces use stainless steel brackets and are the most affordable, durable and effective option — suitable for all ages from 7+ and all severity levels. Ceramic braces work identically but use tooth-coloured brackets that blend with natural tooth colour, making them far less visible. Ceramic braces cost slightly more and require more careful maintenance to prevent staining. Both types are available at Little Bites Clinic, Faridabad — Dr. Nikitaa will advise the best option for your child's age and dental condition.
Bite correction treats problems where the upper and lower teeth don't meet correctly — including overbite (upper teeth covering lower), underbite (lower teeth in front of upper), crossbite, and open bite. Untreated bite problems can cause jaw pain, abnormal tooth wear, difficulty chewing and speech issues. Braces effectively correct all these conditions. At Little Bites Clinic, Faridabad, Dr. Nikitaa assesses bite issues from age 7 onwards and recommends appropriate treatment timing.
Yes — retainers are absolutely essential after braces. After brace removal, teeth naturally tend to drift back toward their original positions (called relapse). A retainer holds teeth in their new alignment while the bone around the roots stabilises. Retainers are worn full-time for 3–6 months, then at night only long term. At Little Bites Clinic Faridabad, retainers are included in your overall treatment plan — no hidden charges. Skipping retainer wear is the most common reason for teeth shifting back after treatment.
