Braces and Orthodontics in Gurgaon
If you are weighing braces in Gurgaon, the right starting point is an assessment of your bite, tooth position, oral health and treatment goals. Aligners can address selected crowding, spacing and bite problems, while fixed braces stay attached during treatment; neither format suits every case. Dr Divya Marwaha can discuss these choices at Marwaha Dental Clinic in DLF Phase 2, Gurugram, after reviewing what your teeth need.
Choosing the best dentist for braces in Gurgaon
A useful orthodontic consultation should connect the appliance choice to the bite problem, explain any preparation and set out the reviews and home care involved. Dr Divya Marwaha is the clinic’s founder and an experienced dental surgeon. The clinic is trusted by many happy patients and families who continue to choose Dr Divya for their dental care, including people who have returned over 10–15 years.

What does an orthodontic assessment decide?
Planning uses an examination and records of the teeth and bite. Adult age alone does not rule out orthodontic treatment, though dental and gum health affect suitability; active decay and gum disease should be addressed before tooth movement begins. Previous dental trauma can also matter to the risk assessment. The appliance and any space-management approach depend on the individual bite and goals. The British Orthodontic Society’s adult guide describes these case-specific considerations.
Fixed braces and clear aligners work differently
Conventional metal braces use brackets joined by an archwire. They remain attached while the orthodontist monitors tooth movement and makes adjustments. Read about conventional metal braces in Gurgaon for the fixed appliance, fitting and repair details.
Clear aligners are a series of custom-made, removable plastic trays. They are taken out for eating and oral hygiene, and each tray advances a staged plan. Wear time and tray changes follow the individual prescription; inadequate wear can compromise progress. Review visits let the orthodontist check tooth movement and tooth and gum health and make planned adjustments; timing depends on the individual plan. Fixed braces may be considered when aligners cannot adequately make the required movements. See the clear-aligner guide for fit, tracking and day-to-day wear.
Daily care and retention are part of orthodontic treatment
With fixed braces, cleaning around brackets and between teeth helps control plaque, and hard or sticky foods can damage the appliance. With aligners, brushing, cleaning between teeth and cleaning the trays remain necessary; sugary drinks trapped beneath a tray can increase decay risk. Routine dental care continues alongside orthodontic reviews. Poor cleaning around orthodontic appliances can be associated with permanent white or brown marks on teeth. Poor cleaning during orthodontic treatment is also associated with gum swelling and lasting gum damage, so make sure your cleaning routine is reviewed if it becomes difficult. The AAO explains braces and aligner care · The British Orthodontic Society outlines risks.
Temporary tooth discomfort can occur as teeth move with aligners, and its duration and intensity vary. If aligner-related pain is persistent and severe, ask the treating orthodontist for an individual assessment. Teeth may be sore for several days after fixed braces are fitted or adjusted; a rubbing wire or bracket may need temporary wax, while very painful teeth warrant contact with the orthodontist. Orthodontic movement can shorten roots; this is usually limited but can occasionally be substantial, and individual risk varies. After active tooth movement and any needed refinement, a retainer is used to hold the result; the orthodontist sets the individual wear schedule. Teeth can move back without appropriate retention.
