Braces are one of the most time-tested and clinically proven orthodontic treatments available today. They work by applying gentle, consistent pressure to the teeth over months or years, gradually guiding them into their ideal positions. The result is a straighter smile, improved bite alignment, and better long-term oral health.
At Quintessence Orthodontics, Bangalore, we offer braces treatment for patients of all ages — from children as young as 7 to adults well into their 70s. Whether you’re dealing with crowding, spacing, an overbite, underbite, crossbite, or simply want a more aligned smile, there is a brace type suited to your case and lifestyle.

The braces treatment process at Quintessence Orthodontics
We’ve designed our treatment process to be smooth, transparent, and stress-free from start to finish. Here’s what to expect when you choose us for braces treatment in Bangalore:
1
Initial consultation & digital imaging
Your journey begins with a comprehensive examination. Dr. Krithika Jayaram — widely regarded as the best orthodontist in Bangalore — uses digital X-rays and 3D imaging to assess your teeth, jaw, and bite. Together, you’ll discuss your smile goals, treatment timeline, and braces cost before any treatment begins.
2
Braces placement
Once your personalised treatment plan is ready, we’ll carefully bond your chosen braces to your teeth. We take time to explain exactly how to brush and floss around your braces, what foods to avoid, and what to expect in the first few days. Proper care from day one makes a real difference to your outcome.
3
Regular progress adjustments
Periodic check-up appointments allow us to monitor tooth movement and adjust wire tension. With self-ligating Damon braces, these visits are less frequent than with traditional braces — a major convenience for busy patients in Bangalore. Each appointment is quick and designed to keep your treatment precisely on track.
4
Braces removal & smile reveal
When your teeth have reached their ideal positions, we carefully remove the brackets and give your teeth a thorough clean and polish. The result is the beautifully aligned smile you’ve been working towards — and the moment our patients look forward to most.
Retainers after braces: protecting your results
Completing your braces treatment is a huge milestone — but it’s not quite the end of the journey. Without a retainer, teeth have a natural tendency to gradually drift back towards their original positions, a process known as relapse. Retainers hold everything in place so your newly aligned smile lasts a lifetime.
At Quintessence Orthodontics, we offer two types of retainers to suit different needs and lifestyles:
Removable retainer
A custom-fitted appliance you wear at night. Easy to clean and comfortable to use, with the flexibility to remove it when needed.
Fixed (bonded) retainer
A thin wire bonded discreetly behind the front teeth. Provides continuous, effortless retention without any daily discipline required.
Dr. Krithika Jayaram will recommend the most suitable retainer — or a combination of both — based on your teeth and the complexity of your treatment.
Frequently asked questions about braces in Bangalore
Are metal braces still worth choosing in 2025?
Absolutely. Modern metal braces are smaller, lighter, and more comfortable than older designs. They remain the most cost-effective option and are highly effective for complex orthodontic cases. For straightforward treatments, self-ligating or ceramic options may offer additional comfort and aesthetic benefits.
What is the cost of braces treatment in Bangalore?
Braces cost in Bangalore varies depending on the type of braces, the complexity of your case, and the duration of treatment. Metal braces are the most affordable, followed by ceramic braces, and then self-ligating Damon braces. We provide a full cost breakdown during your initial consultation with no hidden charges.
How long does braces treatment take?
Most orthodontic treatments with braces take between 12 and 24 months, depending on the severity of misalignment. Self-ligating braces like Damon can often shorten this timeline. Your orthodontist will give you a personalised estimate at your first appointment.
Can adults get braces in Bangalore?
Yes — there is no upper age limit for orthodontic treatment. We treat patients from age 7 to 70 and beyond. Adults often prefer ceramic or self-ligating braces for their discreet appearance, but metal braces are equally effective regardless of age.
What makes Quintessence Orthodontics different from other clinics in Bangalore?
Dr. Krithika Jayaram is a specialist orthodontist with deep expertise in self-ligating brace systems, including Damon braces. Our clinic combines advanced digital imaging, personalised treatment planning, and a warm patient-first approach to deliver outstanding, lasting results for patients across Bangalore.
