Orthodontics (Braces & Aligners)
Straighten your teeth and achieve a perfect smile with our modern braces and clear aligner options tailored to your lifestyle.
Orthodontic treatment at The Tooth Stop is designed to correct misaligned teeth, bite irregularities, and jaw discrepancies. Whether you are dealing with crowded teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites, or crossbites, Dr. P Meghana and our skilled team offer a range of solutions including traditional metal braces, ceramic braces, and clear aligners to help you achieve a beautifully aligned smile.
Our approach begins with a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation, including digital X-rays, intraoral scans, and a thorough clinical examination. Based on your unique dental anatomy and treatment goals, we develop a customized treatment plan that outlines the expected timeline and milestones. We use the latest technology to ensure efficient tooth movement with maximum comfort.
Clear aligners are an excellent option for patients who prefer a discreet treatment approach. These removable, virtually invisible trays gradually shift your teeth into the desired position without the need for brackets or wires. For more complex cases, traditional braces remain a highly effective and reliable solution.
At The Tooth Stop, we believe that orthodontic care is more than just straightening teeth — it is about improving your oral health, boosting your confidence, and enhancing your overall quality of life. Our team provides ongoing support and guidance throughout your treatment journey to ensure the best possible outcome.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does orthodontic treatment typically take?
Treatment duration varies depending on the complexity of your case, but most patients wear braces or aligners for 12 to 24 months. Dr. P Meghana will provide a more accurate estimate during your initial consultation based on your specific needs.
Are clear aligners as effective as traditional braces?
Clear aligners are highly effective for mild to moderate alignment issues, including crowding, spacing, and certain bite problems. For more complex orthodontic cases, traditional braces may be recommended as they offer greater control over tooth movement.
Is orthodontic treatment painful?
You may experience mild discomfort or pressure for a few days after each adjustment or when switching to a new aligner tray. This is completely normal and indicates that your teeth are moving. Over-the-counter pain relievers and orthodontic wax can help manage any soreness.
Do I need to wear a retainer after treatment?
Yes, wearing a retainer after orthodontic treatment is essential to prevent your teeth from shifting back to their original positions. Dr. P Meghana will recommend either a fixed or removable retainer based on your case and will guide you on how long to wear it.
How much do braces cost in India?
Braces in India generally cost between ₹27,000 and ₹95,000. The price depends on the type of braces, the brand used, and the complexity of your case.
At The Tooth Stop, we offer the following options:
- •Conventional metal braces: most economical option
- •Conventional ceramic braces: tooth-coloured and less visible than metal
- •Self-ligating metal braces: fewer adjustment visits, more comfortable for many patients
- •Self-ligating ceramic braces: combines the aesthetic of ceramic with the efficiency of self-ligation
We use trusted brands including Damon, American Orthodontics, Metro, and 3M. The right type of braces for you depends on the complexity of your case, how often you can visit the clinic, and your lifestyle preferences. Dr. P Meghana will walk you through the options that suit your needs and help you make an informed decision.
How much does Invisalign cost in India?
Invisalign in India generally costs between ₹1,25,000 and ₹6,00,000. At The Tooth Stop we price it between ₹1,25,000 and ₹4,00,000, which is among the lowest in the country. The exact cost depends on how complex your case is and how many stages of correction are needed.
Invisalign is not the right fit for everyone. For more complex bite issues, braces often give better results at a lower cost. Dr. P Meghana is a certified Invisalign specialist and will look at your teeth, understand what you need, and help you decide whether aligners or braces make more sense for your case. Book a consultation to get a clear picture of your options and costs.
