Common Questions
Metal or ceramic braces — what is the difference?
Metal braces are durable and efficient for all case types. Ceramic brackets are tooth-coloured and less visible — popular with adults. We help you choose based on clinical needs and appearance goals.
Do braces hurt?
You may feel pressure and mild soreness for a few days after fitting and adjustments. Over-the-counter pain relief and soft foods usually manage this comfortably.
Am I too old for braces?
No. Adult orthodontics is common and effective. Healthy gums and bone support are more important than age.

Traditional braces still lead for complex cases
While clear aligners work beautifully for many patients, traditional braces remain the most versatile tool for severe crowding, deep bites, and significant jaw alignment issues. Our orthodontic approach at Anu's Dental focuses on stable, long-lasting results — not just straight front teeth.
Regular adjustment visits allow fine control of tooth movement. Families from Chanda Nagar, Lingampally, and KPHB trust us for teen and adult braces with clear communication at every stage.
