An orthodontist (holding MDS in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics) is a specialized dental specialist dedicated to diagnosing, preventing, and correcting misaligned teeth, malocclusions, and irregular jaw relationships in children, teens, and adults. Leading reasons to consult an orthodontist in Thane include crooked or crowded teeth, gaps between teeth (diastema), protruding "buck" teeth, overbites, underbites, crossbites, open bites, jaw clicking or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) discomfort, and difficulty chewing or speaking clearly.
Orthodontic treatment enhances facial aesthetics while dramatically improving long-term oral health — straight teeth are significantly easier to clean, reducing the lifetime risk of gum disease, tooth decay, and abnormal enamel wear. Orthodontists in Thane offer modern aesthetic alignment options — including self-ligating metal braces, tooth-colored ceramic braces, lingual braces (hidden behind teeth), and advanced 3D digital Clear Aligners (such as Invisalign and leading invisible aligner systems) planned with intraoral digital 3D scanners (iTero).

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a general dentist and an orthodontist?
A general dentist treats teeth decay, cleans teeth, performs fillings, and manages root canals. An orthodontist is a dental specialist who has completed three additional years of rigorous MDS master’s training focused exclusively on tooth movement, facial bone growth, and jaw alignment using braces and clear aligners.
How much does an orthodontic consultation and treatment cost in Thane?
Initial orthodontic evaluation fees in Thane on Nectar Plus Health typically range from a few hundred rupees upward. Complete orthodontic treatment packages range from ₹25,000–₹55,000 for traditional metal braces, ₹40,000–₹75,000 for ceramic braces, and ₹60,000–₹1,80,000 for custom digital Clear Aligners with flexible monthly EMI payment options.
What are Clear Aligners and how do they compare to traditional braces?
Clear aligners are custom-made, virtually invisible removable plastic trays that gradually shift teeth into position. Unlike fixed metal braces with wires and brackets, aligners can be taken out while eating and brushing, cause no painful wire pokes, and are almost undetectable in social and professional settings.
Can adults get braces or aligners, or is orthodontic treatment only for teenagers?
Orthodontic treatment can be successfully undertaken at any age. Over 35% of orthodontic patients today are working adults. As long as your gums and supporting jawbone are healthy, teeth can be safely and effectively moved into ideal alignment well into your 50s and 60s.
At what age should a child have their first orthodontic evaluation?
The American and Indian Orthodontic Societies recommend that every child receive an initial orthodontic screening by age 7. At this age, the first permanent molars have erupted, allowing the orthodontist to detect subtle jaw growth discrepancies, crossbites, or severe crowding early when interceptive growth modification is simplest.
How long does a typical orthodontic treatment take with braces or aligners?
Most comprehensive orthodontic treatments take between 12 and 24 months, depending on the severity of misalignment, age, and patient compliance (wearing aligners 20–22 hours daily). Minor spacing or cosmetic crowding can often be corrected with clear aligners in as little as 6 to 9 months.
Why are retainers mandatory after completing orthodontic treatment?
Teeth have an inherent biological tendency to shift back toward their original positions after braces or aligners are removed (orthodontic relapse) while bone remodels around the new roots. Wearing retainers (removable clear retainers or thin bonded lingual wires) permanently stabilizes your beautiful new smile.
Is tooth extraction always necessary before getting braces?
No. Modern orthodontists make every effort to avoid extractions whenever possible, utilizing arch expansion, interproximal reduction (IPR), and mini-implant anchorage (TADs). Permanent extractions are reserved only for cases of severe jaw crowding or severe dental protrusion.
