Common questions

Before you decide

How much do braces or aligners cost in Dombivli?
Cost depends on the type of appliance and how complex your case is. After the consultation and records, you get a written plan with the exact fee, duration and EMI options before you commit. You can also WhatsApp a smile photo for a preliminary idea.
Are clear aligners as effective as braces?
For many mild to moderate cases, yes. Some complex bite problems are better treated with braces. Dr. Bhat will tell you honestly which option suits your teeth.
How long does braces or aligner treatment take?
Mild cases can finish in about 6 months; most full treatments take 12 to 24 months. Your timeline is estimated at the consultation.
Do teeth need to be removed for braces?
It depends on the case. Severe crowding or forward (buck) teeth may need extractions; spacing cases usually do not. This is decided only after records and analysis.
