Braces and Aligners in Konanakunte
off Kanakapura Road, Bengaluru
Many patients come to us with crooked teeth, gaps, crowding, forwardly placed teeth, or bite problems. Sometimes the concern is mainly about appearance. Sometimes it also affects chewing, cleaning, speech, gum health, or long-term tooth stability.
At Prisma Dental, braces and aligner treatment is planned after studying the teeth, bite, jaw relation, gum health, and the patient’s expectations. The goal is not only to straighten teeth, but to create a smile that is healthier, cleaner, and more stable.
Our clinic in Konanakunte, off Kanakapura Road, Bengaluru, provides orthodontic care with braces and clear aligners for children, teenagers, and adults.
What are braces and aligners?
Braces and aligners are orthodontic treatments used to move teeth into better positions.
Braces
Braces use brackets and wires to gradually align the teeth. They are fixed on the teeth, so they work continuously. Regular visits are needed to adjust the wires and monitor progress.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are removable transparent trays that move the teeth step by step. They are preferred by many adults and working professionals because they are less visible.
Both options can work well when planned properly. The right choice depends on the tooth position, bite, age, discipline, treatment complexity, and patient preference.
Who may need braces or aligners?
Braces or aligners may be suitable if you have:
- Crooked teeth
- Crowded teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Forwardly placed teeth
- Overbite
- Underbite
- Crossbite
- Open bite
- Teeth that do not meet properly
- Difficulty cleaning between teeth
- Food getting stuck due to tooth position
- Smile imbalance
- Relapse after previous orthodontic treatment
Some patients need only mild alignment. Some need detailed bite correction. That is why proper orthodontic evaluation is important before starting treatment.
Why tooth alignment matters
Straight teeth are not only about a better-looking smile. Teeth that are properly aligned are often easier to clean and maintain.
Crowded or irregular teeth can make brushing difficult. This may increase the risk of plaque collection, gum inflammation, cavities, and bad breath.
A poor bite can also place uneven pressure on teeth, fillings, crowns, or gums over time.
Orthodontic treatment helps improve tooth position, smile balance, cleaning access, and bite function.
Our approach to orthodontic treatment
At Prisma Dental, braces and aligners are not started casually. We first study the teeth and bite carefully.
If the gums are inflamed, cavities are present, or cleaning is poor, these issues may need to be corrected before starting braces or aligners.
Before planning treatment, we assess:
- Tooth alignment
- Jaw relation
- Bite pattern
- Crowding or spacing
- Gum health
- Oral hygiene
- Existing cavities or restorations
- Growth stage in children
- Patient age
- Smile concerns
- Treatment expectations
- Suitability for aligners
Active treatment methods we offer
Braces
A time-tested method for correcting tooth alignment and bite problems. Fixed on the teeth to work continuously.
Useful for moderate to severe cases, bite correction, or rotated teeth.
Clear Aligners
Removable transparent trays made to gradually move teeth. Must be worn for the recommended hours daily.
Excellent, less visible option for mild to moderate cases and busy professionals.
Tooth-Coloured Braces
Ceramic brackets that blend with the natural colour of your teeth. Works exactly like metal braces.
A highly requested choice for patients seeking discreet fixed braces.
Braces & aligners for children
Early orthodontic evaluation is useful around 7 years of age when there are signs of crowding, jaw growth issues, mouth breathing, thumb sucking, early loss of milk teeth, or bite problems.
Not every child needs braces immediately. Sometimes we only monitor growth. In selected cases, early intervention helps guide jaw growth or preserve space.
Braces & aligners for adults
Many adults choose orthodontic treatment to improve their smile or correct long-standing alignment issues.
Adult orthodontic treatment is highly successful, though bone support, gum health, and existing restorations are checked carefully.
Clear aligners or ceramic braces are often preferred for their discretion.

- Gum and dental health assessment before starting
- Treatment planning for children, teenagers, and adults

We believe the final result should be clean, stable, and suitable for the patient’s mouth.
How braces or aligner treatment is planned
Consultation
We first understand the concern — crowding, gaps, smile appearance, bite problem, or relapse after previous treatment.
Clinical Examination
We examine the teeth, gums, bite, jaw relation, and oral hygiene.
Records and X-rays
Photographs, scans, impressions, or X-rays may be advised for planning.
Treatment Options
We explain whether braces, ceramic braces, or clear aligners are suitable.
Treatment Planning
The treatment duration, appliance type, visits, and expected result are discussed.
Active Treatment
Braces are adjusted periodically. Aligners are changed as per the treatment plan.
Retainers
After teeth are aligned, retainers are important to maintain the result. Without retainers, teeth can slowly move back.
Braces or aligners — which is better?
There is no single answer for everyone. Braces may be better for complex tooth movement and patients who prefer a fixed option. Aligners may be better for selected mild to moderate cases and patients who want a removable, less visible option.
The best treatment is the one that suits the clinical condition and the patient’s ability to follow instructions.
