RCS Edinburgh & AIIMS-topper credentials
Dr. Varun Malhotra topped the AIIMS national entrance exam and holds a fellowship from the Royal College of Surgeons, Edinburgh, credentials most orthodontic clinics in the city can't match.
Certified Invisalign provider
Not every dentist offering Invisalign is a certified provider. Certification means the aligner sequence is planned and reviewed to Invisalign's own clinical standard.
Lingual braces, hidden behind the teeth
Brackets sit on the inside surface of your teeth, invisible in conversation, a common choice for professionals who don't want visible metal.
Damon braces, less friction
A self-ligating slide mechanism replaces the elastic ties of traditional braces, which typically means fewer tightening visits and less discomfort.
Weighing Your Options
Metal braces vs. lingual braces vs. Invisalign
All three move teeth into the same corrected position. What differs is how visible they are and how they fit your daily routine.
| Factor | Metal braces | Lingual braces | Invisalign |
|---|---|---|---|
| Visibility | Visible on front of teeth | Hidden behind teeth | Clear, barely noticeable |
| Removable | No | No | Yes, for eating and brushing |
| Best for | Complex bite corrections, any budget | Adults wanting zero visible metal | Mild-to-moderate cases, discreet daily wear |
| Typical cost | Most affordable | Highest, due to custom brackets | Mid-to-high, depends on case length |
| Care routine | Careful brushing around brackets | Careful brushing, harder to reach | Remove to eat and brush as normal |

Before You Decide
Is orthodontic treatment right for you?
Most children and adults are candidates. A few things shape which option fits your case.
After Treatment
Life with a retainer
Braces and aligners move teeth, retainers are what keep them there. Skipping this step is the most common reason a result relapses.
Wear it exactly as prescribed
Full-time for the first few months, then usually nights only. Teeth can shift back within weeks of stopping early.
Clean it daily
A quick brush with lukewarm water and a soft brush keeps a retainer from building up bacteria or odour.
Bring it to every check-up
We check the fit at your regular visits, a retainer that no longer seats properly usually means teeth have already started to shift.

Common Questions
Orthodontics FAQs
Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners for mild-to-moderate cases; braces use brackets and wires for more complex corrections. Dr. Varun Malhotra will recommend the ideal option during a free consultation.
Metal braces are the most affordable; Invisalign and lingual braces cost more due to their technology. A free consultation gives you a cost-effective, tailored plan.
Simple corrections take 6–12 months; moderate-to-complex cases 18–24 months. Digital planning gives an accurate timeline at your first visit.
Absolutely, there's no age limit. Many adult patients opt for Invisalign or lingual braces for a discreet, professional-friendly experience.
Some initial soreness is normal after fitting or adjustment, usually resolving in 2–3 days. Damon and lingual braces typically cause less discomfort.
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an initial screening around age 7, early enough to catch bite or jaw growth issues while there's still room to guide them, even though active treatment often starts later.
