What's included

Common questions

Does Self-Ligating hurt?+

There's mild soreness for 3–5 days after fitting and after each adjustment, similar to a tight hairband on your teeth. Over-the-counter pain relief handles it. Most patients are fully comfortable within a week.

How long does treatment really take?+

Listed timelines are averages. Simple cases finish faster, complex bites take longer. We give you an honest estimate after looking at your X-rays and scans during the consultation.

How much will it cost?+

We don't publish a flat number because every case is different. After the free first consultation we share a written quote tailored to your bite, with everything included: all visits, X-rays, fittings, monthly check-ups, and one set of retainers post-treatment. No surprise add-ons later.

Can I pay in EMI?+

Yes. We partner with Bajaj Finserv and other no-cost EMI providers, so treatment can be split over 6, 12, or 24 months. We help you set this up at the clinic once you've decided on a treatment plan.

Will I need to come in every month?+

Roughly every 4–8 weeks depending on the treatment. Each visit takes 15–30 minutes. Between visits you can WhatsApp us with any concerns.
