Braces and Aligners in Gurgaon
Choosing between braces and aligners in Gurgaon is often framed as a question of looks, but the better question is which one can make the movement your teeth actually need. Modenta Dental Clinic in Sushant Lok Phase 1 provides metal, ceramic and self-ligating braces as well as clear aligners, so nobody has a reason to steer you towards the only option on offer.

The four options, side by side
- Metal braces are fixed and visible. They are the workhorse for most cases, including complex bites, and you need to be careful with hard and sticky food.
- Ceramic braces work the same way with tooth-coloured brackets, which makes them less noticeable.
- Self-ligating braces hold the wire with a built-in clip instead of elastic ties.
- Clear aligners are removable trays, changed at home every one to two weeks. They suit many adult cases, but only work if you wear them for most of the day.
Checks to insist on before you start
Moving teeth is slow and hard to undo, so the groundwork matters more than the brand of appliance. Wherever you go, expect these before you agree to anything:
- A bite assessment, covering how the upper and lower teeth meet, and not just how the front teeth look.
- A gum check. Moving teeth through inflamed gums can do harm, so any gum disease is treated first.
- X-rays, and a CBCT scan where needed, to show the roots and the bone around them.
- A look at the jaw joint. Clicking or pain in the joint should be noted before the bite changes.
Be careful with any offer to start straight from a photo or a quick scan, without someone examining your mouth.
Questions for whoever plans your case
Ask who will plan and supervise your treatment and what their training is. Ask what happens if the teeth do not track as planned, how often you will be seen, and what retention looks like. At Modenta, consultations for braces and aligners are with Dr Gayathri Sreenivasan, and her qualifications are listed on this page so you can weigh them for yourself.
"I got scaling and consultation for aligners from Dr. Gayatri. She was patient and thorough and the consultation for braces were really helpful."

The part people skip: retainers
Teeth drift back without a retainer, so the result depends on the months after the braces come off as much as the months before. Plan for it from the start.

Frequently asked questions
Am I too old for braces or aligners?
Teeth can be moved at any age if the gums and bone are healthy. Many adults choose aligners or ceramic braces so that treatment sits easily with work.
How long does treatment take?
It depends on how far your teeth need to move. You get a realistic estimate after your bite has been assessed.
How often are visits?
Braces are adjusted at the clinic every few weeks. Aligners are changed at home, with check-ups in between.
Do braces hurt?
Expect some soreness for a few days after they are fitted and after adjustments. Soft food helps, and it usually settles quickly.
