Planning braces in Mohali or Chandigarh? Compare metal braces, ceramic braces, lingual braces and clear aligners, and learn what affects the cost of teeth straightening.
Crooked teeth, gaps and bite problems are very common, and more adults and teens than ever are choosing to straighten their teeth. If you are searching for the braces cost in Mohali or Chandigarh, it helps to understand the different types of braces and what changes the price.
Types of Braces and How They Compare
Metal braces
Stainless steel braces are strong, reliable and the most affordable option. They work well for kids, teens and adults, including complex cases. The metal braces price is usually the lowest of all options.
Ceramic braces
Ceramic or tooth-coloured braces work like metal braces but blend with your teeth, so they are less noticeable. The ceramic braces price is higher than metal because of the material.
Self-ligating braces
These use clips instead of elastic ties, which means less friction, easier cleaning and often fewer adjustments. They are available in metal and ceramic.
Lingual braces
Lingual braces are fixed behind the teeth, so they are completely hidden. They are custom-made, which makes them one of the higher-cost options.
Clear aligners and Invisalign
Clear aligners are nearly invisible braces: removable, transparent trays that move teeth step by step. You can eat what you like and brush normally. The cost depends on the brand and how many aligners your case needs.
What Affects the Cost of Braces?
- How complex your case is: mild crowding costs less than a deep bite or jaw correction
- Length of treatment: most cases take 12 to 24 months
- Type of braces or aligners you choose
- Extra appliances: such as palatal expanders for children
- Retainers: needed after treatment to keep teeth straight
- Who treats you: an MDS orthodontist plans the tooth movement precisely, which reduces the risk of problems
Braces for Kids: Why Early Checks Help
An orthodontic check around age 7 can spot jaw and bite problems early. Early treatment with simple appliances can make later braces shorter and less costly.
