Cost of Fixing Crooked Teeth in India vs UK/USA/Canada: What NRIs Save
Crooked teeth can affect more than just your smile—they can impact your confidence, oral hygiene, and even your speech. But in countries like the UK, USA, or Canada, orthodontic or cosmetic treatment to fix crooked teeth can be extremely expensive.
That’s why more and more NRIs are flying to India for high-quality, affordable dental care. Whether it’s braces, Invisalign, veneers, or bonding, the savings are massive—and the results just as world-class.
Let’s break down the cost comparison and show you how much NRIs actually save by fixing crooked teeth in India.
😬 How Can You Fix Crooked Teeth?
Depending on the severity, age, and your goals, there are 4 common options:
1. Metal Braces – Traditional and effective for teens and adults
2. Ceramic or Self-Ligating Braces – Aesthetic and more comfortable
3. Clear Aligners (e.g. Invisalign) – Nearly invisible, removable, and ideal for professionals
4. Porcelain Veneers or Composite Bonding – Fast cosmetic fix for mild cases
💰 Cost Comparison: India vs UK/USA/Canada (2025 Estimates)
