Dental Braces
Why do I need braces?
- Braces are required to align your teeth as maligned teeth are prone to gum disease and caries.
- They can also improve your look.
What are the different types of braces?
The different types of braces are:
Metal Braces
These are the conventional braces in which the brackets and wires used during orthodontic treatment are made of metal. These wires are visible and hence these are unaesthetic.
Ceramic Braces
These braces are tooth colored and hence more aesthetically pleasing. They cost more than the conventional metal braces. The ceramics can get discolored slightly with passage of time. However, it can be taken care of by your orthodontist.
Lingual Braces
The wires are put on the inside of your teeth to make the teeth move. These are even more aesthetically pleasing than the ceramic braces but the cost is generally higher than the metal braces.
Clear Aligners
These are a set of multiple transparent removal plates which need to be changed every two weeks. The main disadvantage is that the success of the braces depends upon the patient since he/she is responsible for wearing them.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
- Orthodontic treatment generally takes about 18 to 36 months.
What are retainers?
- Retainers are a part of orthodontic treatment in which an appliance is used to retain the teeth in their position once the results from the orthodontic treatment have been achieved.
What precautions should I take while undergoing orthodontic treatment?
- You need to go through regular cleanings and maintain good oral hygiene so that you do not get long term gum problems.
- It is a good idea to also go through fluoride applications as accumulation of plaque due to the wires can lead to caries.
- However, if you are able to keep your teeth clean during orthodontic treatment, you will not face these problems,.
Does orthodontic treatment cause pain?
- Orthodontic treatment can cause slight pain. However, if the pain is too much, you can report to your orthodontist and she can adjust the braces so that the pain can be reduced.
How does orthodontic treatment work?
- Orthodontic treatment works by applying controlled pressure on the wires that have been fixed to the teeth by brackets. These wires are then able to move the teeth to the desired position .

Most Ethical Dental Surgeon
“Visited Dr. Sajili Mittal’s clinic a few years ago after having a number of “not good” experiences. Was a bit scared too initilally. But the way my problem was handled at her clinic made me so at ease, comfortable and relaxed.
At Dr. Sajili Mittal’s clinic, everything is explained in detail & giving all the possible options to be decided by the patient himself. Since my first visit, I never felt uncomfortable and always feel free to discuss even the smallest possible issues. Besides being a good dentist, Dr. Sajili Mittal, is a very good human being too. She makes her patients comfortable, understands their issues and accordingly suggests possible and affordable options ( NOT creating fear factor).
Besides, being highly experienced and knowledgeable, Dr. Sajili Mittal is a person of ETHICS and MORALITY which is rare to find these days in our society. My Best Wishes to Dr. Sajili Mittal.”

Very satisfied with Dental treatment
My wife Dr Roma Raj and I just walked into Citylife Dental for a complete dental check-up, soon after from the US. We found the clinic’s hygiene and comfort levels at par with any good clinic in the US. The doctor’s mannerisms were so good that we signed up with Citylife for our complete dental treatment plans and since then we have felt very satisfied with the treatment, rates, punctuality and professional approach of their team to our dental problems.
There are no short cuts in this clinic.
May God keep the healing touch of this centre alive for years to come.
Very professional treatment
The team here is both extremely professional and extremely kind and generous. Ashok and Sajili took wonderful care of me both with my gum surgery and my short stay in Delhi. They have gentle warm spirits. Thanks for everything from breakfast with chai to the gum graft itself!
