Top 3 Ways to Straighten Crooked Teeth in India: Braces, Aligners & Veneers
Crooked teeth are more than a cosmetic concern—they can affect your bite, speech, and oral health. Thankfully, modern dentistry offers multiple ways to correct misaligned teeth, with treatments that are faster, more discreet, and more comfortable than ever before.
If you’re considering a smile upgrade during your visit to India—or planning treatment as an NRI—this guide breaks down the top 3 most popular and effective ways to straighten crooked teeth in India:
🥇 1. Braces – Traditional Yet Reliable
Braces remain one of the most effective treatments for moderate to severe crooked teeth. Available in various types, they’re ideal for teens and adults who want long-term results.
🔹 Types of Braces:
• Metal Braces – Strong, affordable, ideal for all ages
• Ceramic Braces – Tooth-colored, more discreet
• Self-Ligating Braces – Faster results, fewer appointments (e.g., Damon braces)
• Fast Braces – Treat some cases in as little as 6–9 months
✅ Benefits:
• Can correct severe alignment, spacing, and bite issues
• Affordable in India (starting ₹45,000–₹1.25L)
• Great for NRIs who can plan periodic visits or long stays
🕒 Treatment Time: 12–24 months (varies by case)
🥈 2. Clear Aligners (e.g., Invisalign)
If you’re looking for a braces-free, nearly invisible option to fix crooked teeth—clear aligners are the answer. Invisalign and other aligner brands are widely available in India and offer flexible treatment perfect for busy professionals or NRIs.
✅ Benefits:
• Invisible and removable
• Easy to maintain oral hygiene
• Custom-made with 3D smile design
• Can be started in India and continued abroad
• Remote follow-up possible via WhatsApp or Zoom
💰 Cost in India: ₹1.5L–₹3.5L
🕒 Treatment Time: 6–18 months
💡 Many NRI patients begin aligner treatment in India and receive trays shipped abroad.
🥉 3. Porcelain Veneers – Instant Cosmetic Fix
Not everyone wants or needs orthodontics. For mildly crooked teeth, porcelain veneers offer an instant smile transformation in just 7–10 days—ideal for weddings, holidays, or work trips.
✅ Benefits:
• Straight-looking smile without braces
• Long-lasting (10–15 years)
• Perfect for uneven, short, or slightly rotated teeth
• Painless and non-invasive
• Great for patients with limited time
💰 Cost per Veneer: ₹12,000–₹18,000
🕒 Treatment Time: 7–10 days
📸 Ideal for smile makeovers during short India visits
💰 Cost Comparison: India vs Western Countries
Treatment India (INR) USA/UK/Canada (INR Equivalent)
Metal Braces ₹45K–₹65K ₹2.5L–₹4L
Invisalign/Aligners ₹1.5L–₹3.5L ₹4L–₹6.5L
Porcelain Veneers ₹12K–₹18K ₹40K–₹80K per tooth
✈️ NRIs can save up to 70–80% even after factoring in travel costs.
