How many visits will it take?

Often one or two, depending on the tooth, the number of canals and whether there is active infection. Molars generally take longer than front teeth.

Why do I need a crown afterwards?

A tooth that has had a root canal has lost internal structure and its blood supply, which makes it more likely to fracture. A crown holds it together.

Is extraction cheaper?

In the short term, usually. But replacing a missing tooth later — with a bridge or an implant — costs more than keeping the natural one. Keeping the tooth is almost always the better long-term decision when it is possible.

Reliable tooth movement, planned around your bite

Fixed braces use brackets and a wire to guide teeth gradually into healthier positions. At Gandhi Dental Clinic, treatment planning considers your bite, gum health, cleaning routine and the result you want — not just the appearance of individual teeth.

A plan you can understand

The right appliance depends on your teeth, bite, cleaning routine and expectations. We explain the stages, the commitment and the alternatives before anything is fitted.

Common questions

Before you book

It depends on the amount of movement needed and how the teeth respond. The treatment plan gives a more useful estimate after an examination.

No. Braces can be considered at different ages when the teeth and gums are healthy enough for planned movement.

Retention is usually part of keeping the result stable. We explain the retainer plan before treatment starts.
