Orthodontic assessment in West Delhi
Braces apply controlled forces to move teeth and improve their relationship over time. At Dr. Kathuria’s Dental Specialties, Dr. Eisha Kathuria supports the initial dental assessment and restorative coordination, with orthodontic input used where indicated.
A safe plan begins with healthy teeth and gums, a diagnosis of the bite problem and a realistic retention plan.
Same-day consultations may be available; call to confirm. Monday–Saturday, 9:30 am–8:00 pm.
01 · Quick answer
Braces use brackets, wires or other components to guide teeth into planned positions. Treatment may address crowding, spacing, rotations or bite relationships. The appliance is only one part of care: diagnosis, oral hygiene, attendance, cooperation and retainers strongly influence the result and stability.
In brief: suitability and design require individual examination.
02 · Overview
Orthodontic treatment can reposition teeth within biological limits. It may improve alignment, make some areas easier to clean and create a more functional tooth relationship.
Not every concern is solved by moving teeth alone. Tooth shape, missing teeth, gum levels, jaw growth and restorative needs may require coordinated planning or a different treatment approach.
03 · Suitability
Children, teenagers and adults may be assessed. Timing depends on dental development, gum health, bite, growth and the type of correction needed.
Clinical note: this list supports discussion; it does not diagnose suitability.
04 · Compare choices
Options may include conventional metal braces, less-visible ceramic braces, self-ligating brackets, lingual braces or clear aligners. The diagnosis and required tooth movements should guide the appliance choice.
Second opinion
A second opinion can compare the diagnosis, expected movements, extractions or space creation, appliance choices and retention.
05 · Treatment designs
Visibility, cleaning, breakage, biomechanics and cooperation differ. No appliance removes the need for diagnosis or regular monitoring.
Option 1
Conventional metal brackets are visible, established and adaptable to a wide range of planned movements.
Option 2
Tooth-coloured or clear brackets are less conspicuous but still use a wire and need careful handling and cleaning.
Option 3
Built-in clips hold the wire. They are an appliance design, not a guarantee of faster or painless treatment.
06 · Consultation
Bring previous orthodontic records if available. The first decision is what needs correction, not which bracket colour or brand to choose.
Concerns about alignment, bite, appearance and function are discussed.
Teeth, gums, facial proportions, jaw relationship and bite are assessed.
Photographs, models or scans and radiographs are advised when clinically needed.
Crowding, spacing, tooth position and bite are described clearly.
Appliance, space management, risks, reviews and retention are explained.
07 · Process
Decay and gum problems are controlled and cleaning technique is established.
Brackets are bonded or a removable system is provided according to the plan.
Forces and wires are adjusted while tooth movement and tissue health are monitored.
Finishing focuses on contacts, alignment and the planned functional relationship.
Fixed braces are removed and retainers are provided to limit relapse.
08 · Recovery
Tenderness is common after fitting or adjustment. Appliances also change cleaning and food choices.
Choose comfortable foods and follow advice for soreness or rubbing.
Brush around every bracket and clean between teeth to control plaque.
Report breakages; do not wait if a wire is injuring the mouth.
Wear and care for retainers exactly as prescribed.
Contact the clinic promptly for worsening swelling, persistent bleeding, fever, spreading pain, altered sensation or a loose restoration. Seek urgent medical care for breathing or swallowing difficulty.
09 · Informed consent
Orthodontic treatment needs informed consent and cooperation. Results and duration cannot be guaranteed.
10 · Anatomy
Crowding can be managed in different ways, including arch development, slenderising selected contacts, moving teeth into available space or extracting teeth in selected cases. No method suits every patient.
The plan also considers tooth roots, gum support, facial profile and jaw relationship. Moving visible crowns without accounting for roots and supporting tissues can create avoidable risk.
11 · Clinical approach
Clean teeth and stable gums are prerequisites for safe fixed-appliance care.
Metal, ceramic, self-ligating and aligner choices are compared after goals are defined.
Root, gum, enamel, breakage and cooperation risks are discussed.
The retainer strategy is part of consent, not an afterthought.

14 · Common questions
Braces may treat crowding, spacing, rotations and selected bite relationships. A diagnosis is needed to define realistic goals.
No. Adults can have orthodontic treatment when teeth and supporting tissues are suitable, although growth-dependent corrections differ.
Tenderness is common after fitting and adjustments, and brackets can rub initially. Severe or worsening pain should be assessed.
Duration varies with the problem, tooth movement, biology, appliance, breakages, attendance and cooperation. It is estimated after records and diagnosis.
Not everyone does. Space may be managed in several ways, and extraction decisions consider crowding, profile, roots, gums and bite.
Brackets do not cause decay by themselves, but plaque around them can cause white marks, cavities and gum inflammation. Cleaning is essential.
Contact the clinic for advice. A broken bracket or wire may delay planned movement or irritate the mouth.
Teeth can move after active treatment. Retainers help hold the result while tissues adapt and remain part of long-term care.
Takeaway: personal answers require examination, but these questions can help you prepare.
