What is Braces Treatment?
Dental braces use brackets, wires and bands to gradually move teeth into their correct positions. They are highly effective for correcting crowded, crooked or misaligned teeth and bite problems.
Dr. Preethi at Sethu Dental Care offers both traditional metal braces and tooth-coloured ceramic braces. With over 12 years of orthodontic experience, she creates treatment plans that deliver precise, beautiful results within the expected timeframe.

Brackets are bonded to teeth and connected with archwire — a quick, painless procedure.
Monthly visits to adjust the wire and monitor progress.
After removal of braces, retainers are worn to maintain the new position.
