FAQs

Questions patients ask us

Straight answers, no jargon. If your question is not here, WhatsApp the clinic — Dr. Kavitha's team replies personally.

How much do braces or Invisalign cost in Bengaluru?

Metal braces typically range from ₹30,000 to ₹45,000 and Invisalign from ₹1,10,000 to ₹2,50,000 depending on case complexity. You receive an exact written cost after your examination, and treatment can be paid in instalments.

How long will my treatment take?

Most comprehensive orthodontic cases take 12 to 24 months. Minor alignment or relapse cases can finish in 6 to 9 months. Dr. Kavitha gives a timeline estimate at the planning stage based on your 3D scan.

Is getting braces painful?

Fitting braces is not painful. There is mild soreness for two to three days after placement and after adjustments, which usually settles with soft food and a regular painkiller if needed.

Braces or Invisalign — which is better for me?

Both can treat most cases. Invisalign suits adults and teens who want a discreet, removable option and can wear aligners 20-22 hours a day. Fixed braces are often better for complex bite corrections and for younger patients. We compare both for your specific case at the consultation.

At what age should a child first see an orthodontist?

Around age 7. Most children need no treatment then, but early screening detects crowding, crossbites and jaw growth issues while they are simple to guide.

Do you take impressions with the messy putty?

In most cases, no. We use a 3D intraoral scanner, so records take a few minutes, are more accurate and far more comfortable.

How do you ensure hygiene and safety?

Instruments are autoclaved and pouches are opened in front of you, with single-use items for anything that cannot be sterilised, plus surface disinfection between every patient.

Can I get a second opinion here?

Yes, and it is welcome. Bring your existing plan, X-rays or scans. If treatment is not needed, we will tell you that plainly.
