5 Treatments to Correct Misaligned Teeth
5 Treatments to Correct Misaligned Teeth
A misaligned smile is more than just a cosmetic concern—it can impact how you eat, speak, and care for your teeth. Whether it’s due to crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, or jaw irregularities, misaligned teeth can lead to long-term dental issues if not treated.
At Gargi’s Dental Care, Kolkata, we believe that every smile deserves the right alignment—for both health and confidence. Fortunately, today’s dental advances offer multiple effective treatments for correcting crooked teeth, tailored for both kids and adults.
Here are the top 5 treatments to correct misaligned teeth and what you can expect from each.
1. Traditional Braces
What Are They?
Stainless steel brackets and wires fixed to the teeth that gradually move them into position.

- Moderate to severe misalignment

- Children, teens, and budget-conscious adults
Benefits:
- Highly effective and time-tested
- Cost-effective
- Customizable with colored bands (for kids and teens)
At Gargi’s Dental Care, we ensure clean bracket placements and regular follow-ups for precise results.
2. Ceramic Braces
What Are They?
Tooth-colored or clear braces that blend in with your natural teeth.
Ideal For:
- Teenagers and adults seeking a less noticeable option
- Moderate alignment issues
Benefits:
- More aesthetic than metal braces
- Just as effective for most cases
- Comfortable for long-term wear
Our team provides detailed guidance on how to care for ceramic braces to avoid staining.
3. Clear Aligners (e.g., Invisalign, Flash, ClearPath)
What Are They?
Removable, transparent trays that gradually shift your teeth into place without wires or brackets.

At Gargi’s Dental Care, we offer custom aligner plans, digital scans, and close monitoring to ensure you stay on track.

Ideal For:

- Moderate misalignments
Benefits:
- Invisible from the front

Although they may take some getting used to, lingual braces are an excellent option for patients who value privacy.
5. Orthodontic Appliances (for Early Intervention)
What Are They?
Devices like palatal expanders, space maintainers, or myofunctional appliances used to guide jaw growth and prevent severe misalignments.
Ideal For:
