Orthodontics — Straighten Your Smile
Traditional braces, ceramic braces, and clear aligners for perfectly aligned teeth, corrected bite, and a confident smile. Treatment plans customized for children, teens, and adults.
What Is Orthodontics?
The science and art of aligning teeth and correcting bite relationships.
Orthodontics is the dental specialty focused on correcting tooth alignment and jaw relationships. Crooked teeth, gaps, overbite, underbite, crossbite, and crowding are not just aesthetic concerns — they affect oral hygiene, chewing efficiency, speech, and long-term dental health.
At The Crown, we offer comprehensive orthodontic solutions for patients of all ages. From traditional metal braces for precise control, to ceramic braces for a more aesthetic option, to clear aligners for nearly invisible treatment — we customize every treatment plan to the patient’s age, lifestyle, and specific alignment needs. Early orthodontic intervention in children can prevent more complex problems later, while adult orthodontics can transform smiles at any age.
Celebrating 5 Years of Clinical Excellence, we have helped patients across Kanpur achieve beautifully aligned, healthy smiles. Our approach combines clinical precision with personalized care — every treatment plan begins with a thorough assessment of your dental and facial structure, followed by a customized plan that addresses your specific concerns. Whether you are a parent seeking early evaluation for your child, a teen wanting to improve your smile, or an adult considering clear aligners, we have the expertise and options to help you achieve the smile you deserve.

Orthodontics for Every Age
From early intervention for children to smile transformation for adults.
Early Intervention for Children
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends children see an orthodontist by age 7. At this age, the first adult molars have erupted and the bite is established, allowing early detection of potential alignment issues. Early intervention can prevent more complex problems later.
- Assessment by age 7 for all children
- Interceptive orthodontics to guide growth
- Space management for incoming permanent teeth
- Habit appliances for thumb sucking, tongue thrusting
- Prevents need for extractions and complex treatment
It is Never Too Late — Adult Orthodontics
Orthodontics works at any age. Adult orthodontics is increasingly popular, with clear aligners being the preferred choice for professionals who want discreet treatment. Many adults combine orthodontics with cosmetic treatments for comprehensive smile transformation.
- Clear aligners popular for their invisibility
- Ceramic braces for aesthetic-conscious patients
- Combine with veneers, whitening, or implants
- Treatment times often shorter than expected
- Improved confidence and oral health at any age

Orthodontic FAQs
Answers to the most common questions about braces and aligners.
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends children see an orthodontist by age 7. At this age, the first adult molars have erupted and the bite is established, allowing early detection of potential alignment issues. Early intervention can prevent more complex problems later.
Yes, orthodontics works at any age. Adult orthodontics is increasingly popular, with options like clear aligners and ceramic braces providing discreet treatment. As long as your gums and teeth are healthy, you can benefit from orthodontic treatment at any age.
Treatment duration depends on complexity. Most cases take 12-30 months. Simple alignment with clear aligners can take as little as 6-12 months, while complex bite corrections may take up to 30 months. We provide a personalized timeline during your consultation.
Clear aligners are highly effective for mild to moderate alignment issues. For complex cases involving significant bite correction or tooth rotation, traditional braces may provide more precise control. We recommend the best option based on your specific needs.
You may experience mild discomfort for 1-3 days after braces are placed or adjusted. This is normal and manageable with over-the-counter pain medication. The discomfort decreases as your mouth adapts. Most patients report minimal pain throughout treatment.
Cost varies by appliance type, treatment duration, and complexity. Metal braces are most cost-effective, clear aligners are higher. We offer consultations with detailed cost estimates and flexible payment options. Visit our pricing page for more information.
Yes, retainers are essential after orthodontic treatment. They maintain your teeth in their new positions while the bone and tissues stabilize. Without retainers, teeth can shift back. We provide custom retainers and recommend wearing them as instructed for long-term results.
You can eat most foods with braces, but should avoid hard, sticky, and crunchy foods that can damage brackets and wires. These include nuts, hard candy, popcorn, and chewing gum. With clear aligners, you remove them while eating, so there are no dietary restrictions.
For traditional braces, adjustment visits are typically every 4-6 weeks. For clear aligners, you change trays every 1-2 weeks and visit every 6-8 weeks for monitoring. Regular visits are essential for treatment progress.
If you lose an aligner, contact us immediately. We will advise you on whether to use the previous tray, move to the next one, or order a replacement. Do not skip wearing aligners for extended periods, as teeth can shift back quickly.
