What Are Braces & Clear Aligners?
Braces and clear aligners are orthodontic appliances used to correct misaligned teeth, gaps, crowding, and bite issues. Traditional braces use metal or ceramic brackets bonded to the teeth, connected by wires that gradually shift teeth into position. Clear aligners are custom-made, removable trays that are nearly invisible — making them ideal for adults and working professionals.
At The Urban Smile, Dr. Deepak Kumar offers a full range of orthodontic options tailored to your age, lifestyle, and budget.

Types of Braces & Aligners Available
The most affordable and time-tested option. Highly effective for complex alignment cases. Suitable for children and teenagers.
Tooth-coloured brackets that blend with your teeth — far less visible than metal braces. Great for adults who want discretion without the cost of aligners.
Removable, virtually invisible trays custom-made for your teeth. Ideal for mild to moderate cases. No dietary restrictions; remove to eat and brush normally.
Orthodontic Treatment Steps
Dr. Deepak examines your bite, teeth alignment, and jaw structure. X-rays taken to create a precise treatment plan.
You decide between metal braces, ceramic braces, or clear aligners based on your needs, lifestyle, and budget.
Brackets bonded to teeth (braces) or impressions taken for custom aligner trays. Treatment begins immediately.
Monthly check-ups to tighten wires or swap aligner trays, gradually progressing your teeth into correct position.
Once treatment is complete, a retainer is fitted to maintain your new smile permanently.
