Orthodontic Care
Crowded, gapped or misaligned teeth can be straightened discreetly at Smile+ — whether that means traditional braces for complex movement, or clear aligners you can remove to eat and brush, tailored to your bite and daily life.
Braces or Aligners?
Traditional braces use brackets and wires to move teeth gradually and precisely — the most reliable option for complex crowding, bite correction and cases that need significant movement. They stay on throughout treatment, so there's no relying on patient compliance.
Clear aligners are a series of custom, removable trays that shift teeth in small increments. They're nearly invisible, can be taken out to eat and brush normally, and suit patients who want a more discreet option for mild to moderate misalignment.
At your consultation, Dr. Yashasvi Patel reviews your bite, crowding pattern and lifestyle to recommend whichever option actually fits your case — not a one-size-fits-all default.

Common Questions
It depends on your case complexity and lifestyle. Traditional braces suit more complex movements and don't rely on patient compliance, while clear aligners are removable, nearly invisible, and better suited to milder to moderate crowding or spacing. Dr. Yashasvi Patel will recommend the right fit after your scan.
Most cases take anywhere from 9 to 24 months depending on how much movement is needed, with regular adjustment visits every 4-6 weeks along the way.
Yes — a growing share of orthodontic patients at Smile+ are adults. Teeth can be moved safely at any age as long as gums and bone are healthy, which is assessed at your consultation.
You may feel mild pressure or soreness for a couple of days after fitting or each aligner change as teeth begin shifting — this is normal and settles quickly, not sharp pain.
