Braces and Invisalign
Your smile is one of the first things people notice—and we make sure it leaves a lasting impression. Crooked or misaligned teeth not only affect confidence but can also lead to bite and oral health issues. That’s why we offer advanced orthodontic solutions like braces and Invisalign clear aligners, designed to gently and effectively move your teeth into the right position. Whether you’re a student, a working professional, or simply someone who wants a straighter smile, our expert orthodontists in Bengaluru will guide you every step of the way.
Ready for a Confident Smile?
What Are Braces & Invisalign?
Braces and Invisalign are orthodontic treatments that help straighten your teeth and improve your bite. While they both aim for the same result—a healthier, more confident smile—the way they work is slightly different:
Braces
These use small brackets and wires fixed to your teeth. Over time, gentle pressure shifts your teeth into the right position. Today’s braces are more comfortable, effective, and less noticeable than ever before.
Invisalign
These are clear, removable aligners custom-made to fit your teeth. They are almost invisible, easy to take out while eating or brushing, and a great choice if you want a discreet option.
Both treatments not only improve how your smile looks but also make it easier to clean your teeth, chew comfortably, and maintain long-term oral health.

How Does Invisalign Work?
Invisalign straightens your teeth using a series of clear, removable aligners designed with advanced 3D technology. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks, 22 hours a day, and is removed only while eating, drinking, brushing, or flossing. As you change to the next set, your teeth gradually move into the right position.
With Invisalign, you can enjoy:
- A nearly invisible treatment
- No food restrictions
- Easy brushing and flossing
- Reduced risk of tooth decay or staining
On average, treatment takes 9–15 months, with check-ups every 6 weeks to track progress.
Retainers After Treatment
Once your braces or Invisalign treatment is complete, you’ll need to wear retainers to keep your teeth in their new position. Retainers are custom-made appliances that prevent your teeth from shifting back. Unlike aligners, which actively move your teeth during treatment, retainers simply hold them in place. They are usually worn at night or for a few hours each day, depending on your dentist’s advice. Wearing retainers as instructed is the key to maintaining your straight smile for life.
Who Needs This Treatment?
You may need braces or Invisalign if you have:
- Crooked or misaligned teeth
- Gaps between teeth

I had an awesome experience at Summit Dental Clinic! I got my ceramic braces and retainers here, and I’m so happy with how my teeth look now. I also had crown lengthening done, and my teeth are now well aligned with a beautifully corrected smile. The quality of the product is amazing, and they made the whole process really easy and comfortable for me. They made everything as painless as possible, with regular check-ups to ensure everything was on track. I’d definitely recommend Summit Dental to anyone looking for a great place to get their teeth done. Five stars for sure!
Stumbled upon Summit dental clinic's page while looking for the best dentist in Bangalore! Right from the front desk staff to the assistants everybody works towards making your experience comfortable! The doctors are qualified and professional in the way that they hear you out and understand what exactly your concern is before they suggest any treatment. They don't do anything more than what's necessary and give you enough information about maintenance and care of the rendered treatment. Can't recommend it enough!
