Evolving Technologies for Advancing Smiles
Metal Braces
Metal braces are often the most common type conventional braces. They consist of high-grade stainless steel, and are much smaller and comfortable when compared to older traditional braces..

They deliver brilliant esthetics,small design, enhanced patient comfort and performance.
Ceramic Self ligating brackets (Damon clear SPK)which blend in with the teeth are more esthetically pleasing. Advantages- invisible,faster treatment time,better comfort,minimal no of review appointments.
Lingual Braces
While conventional braces are attached to the front surface of the teeth, Lingual braces are attached to the inner surface of the teeth which makes them absolutely invisible. Lingual orthodontics provide the advantages of conventional braces, including optimal control, placed behind the teeth! With advances in technology, Lingual orthodontics now provides the ability to move teeth without anyone else seeing it. So you can smile and have braces.
Aligners
Dr. Shiva Sankar offers aligner treatment to patients who want to have straighter, more beautiful smiles . And all without braces. No interference with speech, eating and cleaning and most importantly smiling.
How Virtually Invisible Braces Work
Aligner treatment uses a series of custom-shaped, clear plastic aligners to correct the position of teeth. The clear aligners are so discreet that most people will not even know that you are undergoing orthodontic treatment, unless you decide to tell them. Dr. Shivasankar will use precision computer imaging techniques to ensure the success of your treatment. While the number of aligners needed to complete treatment will depend on your unique orthodontic needs, each successive aligner will be designed to apply the necessary pressure to guide your teeth toward their ideal position. You will wear each retainer for about two weeks before it needs to be replaced. Overall, the course of treatment should require about the same amount of time as treatment with traditional braces. Aligners should be worn 24 hours a day, except during meals and while brushing and flossing. Come in and discuss with us the possibilities!
Invisible Braces Treatment In Palayamkottai - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Who really needs braces?
Why it matters: Understanding your own need helps you decide if an orthodontic consultation is right for you.
Answer: Braces are not just cosmetic—they treat irregularly arranged teeth, bite issues (like overbite, underbite, crossbite), gaps, crowding, and jaw discomfort. Even if it’s just for a confidence boost, braces help improve chewing, speech, and oral hygiene. Knowing the signs early means a smoother, more effective treatment journey.
2. When is the best time to start?
Why it matters: Timing can impact complexity and effectiveness of treatment.
Answer: The American Association of Orthodontists and Indian Orthodontic Society recommends the first check-up by age 7—early screening helps prevent bigger issues later. Still, braces work beautifully for teens and adults alike. In fact, more adults are choosing braces than ever before.
3. How do braces work and what types are available?
Why it matters: Knowing your options helps you choose what's best for your comfort and lifestyle.
Answer:How they work: Brackets and wires gently move your teeth by applying constant pressure—your bone adapts, letting teeth shift into place over time.
Types of braces:
Metal braces – the classic, highly effective choice.
Ceramic (tooth-colored) – more discreet.
Self-ligating – with built-in clips for faster adjustments.
Lingual braces – hidden behind teeth .
Clear aligners – transparent trays ideal for mild-to-moderate cases; must be worn diligently.
4. Is getting braces painful—and how long does it take?
Why it matters: Knowing this helps manage expectations and reduce anxiety.
Answer:
Pain: The process of applying braces is painless, but initial soreness and sensitivity after placement or adjustments is common. Usually mild and short-lived—manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.
Duration: Treatment generally spans 1–3 years, depending on the severity of your case and how well you follow care instructions. Most people finish within this timeframe.
5.What should I avoid eating, and how do I care for my braces?
Why it matters: Proper care protects your braces and speeds up treatment.
Answer:
Foods to avoid: Hard, sticky, chewy, or crunchy items that can damage brackets or wires—like popcorn, nuts, gum, apples, or caramels—should be avoided.
Oral hygiene: Brush after every meal, floss daily (using special tools if needed), and use interdental brushes or floss threaders. Regular dental cleanings remain important.
6.What’s the difference between braces and aligners?
Why it matters: Helps you choose based on appearance, comfort, and treatment needs.
Answer:Braces are fixed, work continuously, and suit complex issues.
Clear aligners are removable and discreet, needing compliance and regular wear—best for mild-to-moderate needs.
7.Can adults get braces?
Why it matters: Encourages adults to improve their smile with confidence.
Answer: Absolutely. Adult orthodontics is thriving. Modern options like ceramic braces and clear aligners are less noticeable and customizable. Your age is never a barrier to achieving a radiant, healthy smile.
8.What happens after braces—retainers and long-term care?
Why it matters: Retainers are essential to keep your smile in place.
Answer: Once braces are removed, retainers help maintain your perfect smile. Options include removable retainers or fixed (bonded) wires—your orthodontist will guide you on usage duration. Without retention, teeth may shift back.
