Am I too old for braces?

No. About a third of our orthodontic patients are adults. Healthy teeth can be moved at any age — we check gum and bone health first, then plan. Many adults choose ceramic braces or clear aligners for discretion.

What is the braces process?

  1. Records: photos, X-rays and impressions/scans; a written plan with exact cost and timeline.
  2. Bonding day: brackets placed in about an hour — painless.
  3. Monthly adjustments: quick 20-minute visits to progress tooth movement.
  4. Debonding & retainers: braces removed, retainers fitted to hold your new smile.
A note from Dr Marina: "Straightening teeth is not vanity — crowded teeth trap plaque and wear unevenly. The right orthodontic plan protects your teeth for decades. Come for a free assessment and I will tell you honestly whether you need treatment at all."

Frequently asked questions

What is the cost of braces in DHA Karachi?

Metal braces start from PKR 80,000, ceramic from PKR 120,000, and self-ligating from PKR 150,000 at our clinic. Exact cost depends on case complexity — quoted in writing after a free consultation.

How long do you have to wear braces?

Typically 18–24 months. Mild cases can finish in 12 months; complex cases may take up to 30 months.

Do braces hurt?

Tightness for 2–3 days after each adjustment is normal; it settles quickly. We guide you on wax and pain relief for the first week.

Can adults get braces?

Absolutely — healthy teeth can be aligned at any age after gum and bone assessment.

What foods should I avoid with braces?

Hard (nuts, ice), sticky (toffee, chewing gum) and very crunchy foods. We give every patient a full care guide.

Do I need retainers after braces?

Yes — retainers hold teeth in their new positions while bone stabilises. Skipping retainers is the main reason teeth shift back.
