Fast Braces and Self-Ligating Braces in India: Time-Saving Options for NRIs
For Non-Resident Indians (NRIs), starting orthodontic treatment in India makes perfect sense—affordable, high-quality care, and access to globally trained experts. But what if your time is limited?
Fast Braces and Self-Ligating Braces are ideal time-saving options for NRIs who want quicker results with fewer clinic visits. These modern orthodontic systems offer faster, more efficient teeth alignment—without the long timelines of traditional braces.
Let’s explore how these advanced braces work, and why they are perfect for NRIs visiting India.
🦷 What Are Fast Braces and Self-Ligating Braces?
🔹 Fast Braces
A patented technology that moves the root and crown of the tooth at the same time, resulting in much faster treatment (as little as 3–12 months in mild to moderate cases).
🔹 Self-Ligating Braces
A high-tech version of traditional braces that uses a clip mechanism instead of elastic bands to hold the wire. This allows teeth to move more freely with less friction and fewer adjustments.
⏳ Why NRIs Prefer These Braces
✅ 1. Faster Results
• Traditional braces: 18–24 months
• Fast Braces: 3–12 months (ideal for simple to moderate cases)
• Self-Ligating: 6–15 months (depending on complexity)
✅ 2. Fewer Appointments
Both options reduce the number of in-clinic visits, which is essential for NRIs who:
• Visit India only once or twice a year
• Want to complete major phases during short trips
• Prefer virtual follow-ups after initial setup
✅ 3. More Comfortable Experience
• Minimal friction and pressure
• Smoother adjustment process
• Less irritation compared to traditional braces
💰 Cost of Fast Braces & Self-Ligating Braces in India (2025)
Treatment Type Cost Range (INR) Cost Abroad Savings for NRIs
Fast Braces ₹70,000 – ₹1,10,000 ₹2.5L – ₹4L Up to 70%
Self-Ligating Braces ₹85,000 – ₹1,25,000 ₹3L – ₹5L Up to 65%
Traditional Metal Braces ₹45,000 – ₹65,000 ₹2L – ₹3.5L Up to 75%
✅ These options are cost-effective alternatives to Invisalign, especially if you’re not concerned about visibility.
