Traditional Braces
Traditional Braces in Kolkata Time-Tested Orthodontic Precision
At Smile For All Dental Clinic, our traditional braces treatment in Kolkata continues to deliver excellent results for patients with a wide range of alignment issues. While modern aligners offer discreet alternatives, metal braces remain the gold standard in orthodontic care—especially for more complex cases.
Whether you’re dealing with severe overcrowding, a misaligned bite, or jaw irregularities, our expert orthodontists offer customized braces treatment designed for long-term success. We combine decades of clinical experience with a patient-first approach to help you achieve a straight, functional, and confident smile.
How Do Traditional Braces Work?
Traditional metal braces are a fixed orthodontic system designed to move your teeth gradually into proper alignment using steady, controlled pressure. They consist of:
- Brackets – Small, durable squares bonded to each tooth.
- Archwires – Thin wires that connect the brackets and gently guide tooth movement.
- Elastic Bands– Optional components that help adjust bite and jaw positioning.
You’ll visit us regularly—usually every 4 to 6 weeks—for adjustments. These appointments are essential for tracking progress and ensuring your teeth are moving according to plan.

Why Choose Traditional Braces?
Metal braces remain one of the most effective and predictable orthodontic treatments available. Here’s why they might be the right choice for you:
-
Best for Complex Cases
Ideal for correcting overbites, underbites, crossbites, and severe tooth crowding.
-
Strong & Durable
Made of high-grade stainless steel, these braces can withstand active lifestyles and are less prone to damage.
-
Affordable Orthodontic Care
Traditional braces are often more budget-friendly than newer, high-tech options—making them accessible for more families.
-
Always Working
As a fixed appliance, braces don’t rely on patient compliance. Unlike removable aligners, they work 24/7.
-
Proven, Predictable Results
Traditional braces have a long-standing track record of producing reliable outcomes when properly managed.
