in Pimpri Chinchwad
Crooked teeth or a misaligned bite affect more than your smile. Over time, they can make chewing harder, strain your jaw joints, and make brushing and flossing difficult enough to raise your risk of cavities and gum disease. At Wonder Smile in Chinchwad, Pune, Dr. Jay Khatri and the team offer orthodontic treatment for children and adults using a range of brace options suited to different needs and budgets.

Are You a Suitable Candidate?
Orthodontic treatment works well for most people with crowded, gapped, or misaligned teeth. You’re likely a good candidate if you have:
Crowded, overlapping, or gapped teeth
Upper and lower teeth that don’t meet evenly when you bite
Difficulty chewing, jaw discomfort, or clicking
Healthy gums and enough bone support to move teeth safely
Active gum disease or certain bone conditions may need to be addressed first. Dr. Khatri will examine your teeth, gums, and jaw with digital X-rays to confirm the right treatment plan for you.
Types of Braces We Offer
Metal Braces
The traditional and most affordable option, effective even for complex alignment issues.
Ceramic Braces
Work the same way as metal braces but with tooth-colored brackets that blend in more naturally.
Speed Braces
Use a self-ligating bracket system that can reduce friction during tooth movement, often meaning fewer adjustment visits.
Lingual Braces
Fitted to the back of your teeth, invisible from the front.
Invisible Aligners (Clear Path)
Custom, removable clear trays that gradually shift teeth without brackets or wires — removable for eating and cleaning.
The Orthodontic Treatment Process at Wonder Smile
Consultation & Scan
Dr. Khatri examines your bite and takes X-rays or impressions to plan treatment precisely.
Treatment Planning
A custom plan is designed based on your specific alignment needs.
Fabrication
For aligners, custom trays are fabricated using CAD-CAM technology, typically taking 6–8 weeks. For braces, brackets and wires are fitted directly.
Wear & Monitor
Regular check-ins track your progress and adjust the treatment as needed.
Most patients adjust comfortably within the first few days of each new stage.
Caring for Your Braces or Aligners
Wear aligners throughout the day, removing them only for eating, drinking, and brushing.
Avoid sticky foods, chewing gum, and smoking while wearing any appliance.
Brush and floss carefully around brackets and wires to prevent plaque buildup.
Report any breakage, loose brackets, or discomfort to Dr. Khatri promptly rather than waiting for your next visit.
Once treatment ends, wear your retainer as instructed to keep teeth from shifting back.

Frequently Asked
Questions
Quick answers to the questions patients ask us most about braces and orthodontic treatment. Have another question? Browse our full dental FAQs.
At what age should a child first see an orthodontist?
Most dental associations recommend a check-up by around age 7, so any jaw growth or bite issues can be monitored early, even if treatment isn’t needed right away.
Is it too late to get braces as an adult?
No. Teeth can be moved at almost any age as long as gums and bone are healthy. Many adults choose ceramic braces or clear aligners for a more discreet option.
Do braces hurt?
Some pressure or soreness is normal for a few days after adjustments, but it’s usually mild and manageable with standard pain relief.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
It depends on how much movement your teeth need — minor corrections may take under a year, while complex cases can take 18–24 months or longer. Dr. Khatri will give you a personalized estimate after your consultation.
What happens after braces come off?
You’ll be given a retainer to wear, since teeth can gradually shift back without one. Dr. Khatri will advise how often to wear it long-term.
