A planned fixed-brace pathway from records to retainers
Braces Treatment in Baner, Pune
Braces treatment uses brackets and wires to apply controlled forces to teeth. The process includes diagnosis, appliance fitting, scheduled adjustments, oral-health monitoring and retention after the braces are removed.
At Sai Multi Speciality Dental Clinic, Baner, Dr Shrikant Gadakh plans braces around the movements your bite needs rather than a standard sequence. Metal, ceramic and self-ligating brackets have different features, but diagnosis and treatment quality remain central.
Need an earlier assessment? Call if a wire is cutting the mouth, a band is loose, trauma has displaced a tooth, or pain does not settle. Swelling with fever or difficulty swallowing requires urgent medical care.
Braces treatment can address crowding, spacing and bite discrepancies through staged wire and appliance changes. Healthy teeth and gums, careful cleaning, regular attendance and retainers are essential parts of care.
01 Overview
What is braces treatment?
Fixed braces attach a bracket to each selected tooth and connect the brackets with an archwire. Elastic modules, clips, springs, elastics or other auxiliaries may be used as the teeth move. Treatment is adjusted in stages rather than completed by a single tightening. [1]
Braces can provide detailed control because they remain on the teeth. They also create extra areas where plaque and food collect. Cleaning, diet and attendance affect safety and progress as directly as the bracket material.
Fixed braces or removable aligners?
Braces do not depend on remembering to insert trays, although elastics and hygiene still require cooperation. Aligners are removable but must be worn as prescribed. Complex movements can sometimes be managed by either system and sometimes favour one.
Patients also search for this as orthodontic treatment, teeth straightening or fixed braces for crooked teeth. If you are looking for braces treatment in Baner, the first visit at our dental clinic in Baner looks at how your teeth and jaws meet, then explains whether metal braces, ceramic braces, lingual braces or clear aligners could fit your goals and your daily routine.
The right treatment starts with identifying the condition and the least extensive suitable option.
02 Candidacy
Who may need an assessment for braces treatment in Baner?
Assessment may be appropriate when
Several teeth need rotation, levelling or controlled root movement.
Crowding, spaces or the bite requires comprehensive correction.
A fixed appliance is acceptable throughout active treatment.
Decay and gum disease are controlled before fitting.
Cleaning, dietary precautions and reviews can be maintained.
Another approach may be needed when
Plaque control remains inadequate despite instruction.
Untreated decay or active gum disease is present.
The desired outcome requires jaw surgery or restorative care as well.
Attendance or appliance care is unreliable.
A limited removable option can meet the objective more proportionately.
Suitability depends on examination findings, not symptoms or appearance alone.
03 Background
Why might braces treatment be recommended?
Brackets provide attachment points while wires guide the dental arches through planned shapes and stages. Space may be created by movement, selective enamel reduction or extraction when justified. Elastics may coordinate the upper and lower arches, but they only work when worn as instructed. [2]
Metal fixed braces
May suit: For a durable and visible bracket system with broad movement control. Timeline: Comprehensive treatment commonly extends over many months.
Ceramic fixed braces
May suit: For selected patients wanting tooth-coloured front brackets. Timeline: The clinical sequence resembles metal braces but material factors differ.
Self-ligating braces
May suit: For a clip-based bracket without elastic modules around each bracket. Timeline: Overall duration depends on the case, not the clip alone.

04 Procedure
How braces treatment is carried out
Records and consent
We diagnose the bite and discuss benefits, risks, alternatives and retention.
Preparation
Dental disease is controlled and any planned preliminary care is completed.
Brace fitting
Brackets are bonded, the first wire is placed and cleaning is demonstrated.
Adjustment sequence
Wires and auxiliaries change as alignment, space and bite goals progress.
Removal and retainers
Braces are removed, enamel is cleaned and prescribed retainers are fitted.
Care moves from diagnosis and planning to treatment, checks and maintenance.
05 Visits
How many appointments does braces treatment take at Sai Multi Speciality Dental Clinic?
Fitting is followed by regular review appointments, often several weeks apart. Wire progression, space closure and bite correction occur at different stages. Broken appliances, missed visits, inconsistent elastic wear or pauses for dental disease can alter the expected duration.
Plan for the full sequence. Assessment, preliminary care, treatment and review may be separate appointments when combining them would reduce diagnostic clarity or treatment quality.
Visit numbers depend on diagnosis, complexity, preliminary care and review needs.
06 Comfort
What does a fixed brace feel like?
Pressure and tenderness are common for a few days after fitting or adjustment. Lips and cheeks may need time to adapt to brackets. A displaced wire or sharp component should be assessed rather than repeatedly bent at home.
Tell us about anxiety, sensitivity, previous difficult dental experiences or medical concerns before care begins. We can explain each stage, agree on a stop signal and pause when clinically appropriate.
Comfort planning begins with knowing what you feel and agreeing how we communicate during care.
07 Aftercare
Aftercare following your appointment in Baner
Brush around brackets
Clean above, below and between brackets with fluoride toothpaste and advised aids.
Choose brace-friendly foods
Avoid hard, sticky items and cut firm foods into smaller pieces.
Check for damage
Look for loose brackets, bent wires or missing components each day.
Retain the result
Wear and maintain retainers after brace removal according to instructions.
Follow the advice for your specific procedure and contact us when symptoms worsen instead of settling.
08 Limits
When braces treatment may not be advised
Fixed braces cannot overcome every skeletal jaw discrepancy or restore unhealthy teeth. Movement may be slower than expected and carries risks including enamel decalcification, decay, gum inflammation, root shortening and relapse. Treatment may be paused or discontinued if oral health becomes unsafe. [3]
Medical history, medicines, ability to tolerate care and the feasibility of long-term maintenance are considered before elective treatment.
Risks, complications and warning signs
Mild soreness after each adjustment, mouth ulcers from brackets and wires and extra effort with cleaning are common. Less common problems include white marks or decay around brackets when plaque is not removed, gum inflammation, root shortening and relapse if retainers are not worn. Call the clinic for a wire that pokes or breaks, a loose bracket, an injury to the mouth or pain that does not settle.

We recommend treatment only when the expected benefit and maintainability justify proceeding.

5 out of 5 stars
“I had a really good experience at Sai Multi Speciality Dental Clinic, Baner. To be honest, nowadays I am a little hesitant when it comes to doctors and hospitals. I have visited a few places before where I didn’t feel completely confident about the treatment advice, so for me, trust in a doctor is very important. But my experience here was different. From my first visit, I felt that the doctor actually listened to my problem and suggested treatment based on what I really needed. I never felt that I was being unnecessarily pushed towards anything. The doctor’s nature is very good, and he gives proper attention and time to each patient. That personally made me feel comfortable and trust the treatment. In my case, I had a gap between my teeth and my upper teeth were also more forward than I wanted. I took treatment for around one year, and I am genuinely very happy with the results. The gap has been closed and my upper teeth have moved back into a much better position. I can clearly see the difference between how my teeth were before and how they are now. …”

13 FAQs
Braces Treatment questions from patients in Baner
How are fixed braces attached?
Brackets are bonded to cleaned tooth surfaces and connected by an archwire. Bands, modules, clips or other parts may be added according to the treatment plan.
How often are braces adjusted?
Appointments are commonly several weeks apart, but the interval changes with the wire, movement and appliance condition. Your orthodontist sets the schedule.
Can a bracket damage enamel?
The adhesive is designed for orthodontic use, but plaque around brackets can cause enamel marks or decay. Careful cleaning and diet reduce this risk.
What should I do if a wire breaks?
Contact the clinic for advice. Orthodontic wax may cover a sharp area temporarily, but do not cut or alter components unless specifically instructed.
Why are retainers needed after braces?
Teeth and supporting tissues adapt after movement and can shift again. Retainers help hold the corrected positions according to the prescribed schedule.
How long do I need to wear braces?
Most treatment lasts between one and three years, depending on how crowded or misaligned the teeth are and how closely the plan is followed. The dentist gives a range after the examination and records, and reviews it as treatment moves along.
Which foods should I avoid with braces?
Very hard, sticky or chewy foods such as hard sweets, caramel and whole raw carrots can break brackets or bend wires. Cut firm fruit into small pieces and limit sugary drinks, which raise the chance of marks on the teeth around the brackets.
An examination remains necessary even when your concern sounds similar to a common dental problem.
