Short-Term Orthodontic Options for NRIs Visiting India for 2–3 Weeks
If you’re an NRI planning to visit India for just 2–3 weeks and want to fix crooked teeth, gaps, or bite issues—good news! You don’t need to live in India for years to begin smile correction.
Thanks to advanced orthodontic technology, NRIs can now start their treatment in India during a short visit and continue it remotely from abroad.
Let’s explore the best short-term orthodontic options in India that fit your schedule, lifestyle, and budget.
⏳ Can You Start Braces or Aligners in Just 2–3 Weeks?
Yes! Modern treatments like clear aligners, Fast Braces, and Self-Ligating Braces allow you to:
• Begin treatment quickly (within 3–7 days)
• Receive the full set of aligners or a fast-moving bracket system
• Get remote monitoring and virtual follow-ups from anywhere in the world
🦷 Top 3 Orthodontic Options for Short-Stay NRIs in India
✅ 1. Clear Aligners (Invisalign & Others)
Best for: Adults, professionals, and frequent travelers
Clear aligners are custom-made transparent trays that shift your teeth gradually. They are invisible, removable, and perfect for NRIs who don’t have time for monthly dental visits.
Key Benefits:
• Start in 7 days or less
• Aligner sets can be shipped abroad
• Remote check-ins via WhatsApp/Zoom
• Great for mild to moderate corrections
• No brackets, wires, or diet restrictions
💰 Cost in India: ₹1,50,000 – ₹3,50,000
🌍 You save: Up to 60–70% compared to USA/UK/Canada
✅ 2. Fast Braces
Best for: Simple to moderate crowding, teens & young adults
Fast Braces use unique bracket technology to move the root and crown of the tooth at the same time—cutting treatment time to just 3–12 months.
Why NRIs Love It:
• Minimal appointments
• Suitable for short-term starts with follow-up flexibility
• Affordable and faster than regular braces
💰 Cost in India: ₹70,000 – ₹1,10,000
📅 First phase starts in just 1–2 visits
✅ 3. Self-Ligating Braces
Best for: Moderate to complex corrections needing long-term tracking
Self-ligating braces use clips (not rubber bands) to reduce pressure and allow faster movement. They are more comfortable than traditional braces and need fewer adjustments.
NRI Advantages:
• Easy to begin during a short trip
• Adjustments can be spaced 8–10 weeks apart
• Can switch to retainers or aligners later abroad
💰 Cost in India: ₹85,000 – ₹1,25,000
