Crooked teeth treatment in Coimbatore

Overlapping front teeth, a gap you have always had, a bite that has shifted since your twenties, a child whose adult teeth are coming in crooked: at Apollo Dental Vadavalli we take an OPG and photographs, look at the bite and the crowding, and tell you in one visit whether braces, clear aligners or a smaller cosmetic fix is the right route, how long it takes and what it costs.

This page explains what different kinds of misaligned teeth can mean for your mouth, when it is worth correcting, and where each pattern usually leads. The records visit decides which route is yours.

Alignment assessment for crooked teeth at Apollo Dental Vadavalli

What misaligned teeth in Coimbatore patients usually come down to

What you noticeWhat it can indicateWhat we usually do
Lower front teeth overlapping, hard to flossMild to moderate crowding; the most common adult complaintClear aligners, or braces if the crowding is heavier
A gap between the two front teethSpacing, sometimes a tight lip attachment holding the gap openAligners or braces; sometimes a small gum procedure; a veneer for a tiny gap
Upper front teeth sticking out, lips not closing easilyAn overjet, often from the jaw relationship as much as the teethBraces, sometimes with extractions; in a growing child, early guidance
Teeth that have moved back after braces years agoRelapse after retainers were stoppedAligners, usually a mild case, then retainers for good
Back teeth that do not meet, or front teeth that do not overlapAn open bite or cross biteBraces with elastics; aligners in some cases
A child of seven to ten with crowding or a crossed biteAdult teeth arriving with too little space, or a jaw that needs guidingAn early orthodontic look; sometimes a simple appliance, often just watching
Slightly uneven front teeth in an otherwise good biteCosmetic irregularity rather than a bite problemVeneers or a smile design plan, without moving the teeth

Crooked teeth are not only a cosmetic matter. Overlapping teeth are harder to clean and collect tartar; a bite that does not meet properly wears some teeth faster than others. Correcting the alignment is also protecting the teeth, which is why we look at the bite before we talk about the smile.

Irregular teeth correction: braces, aligners or something smaller

RouteSuitsTimePrice at our clinic
Clear alignersMild to moderate crowding or gaps, adults who want it invisible and removable6 to 18 months₹50,000 to ₹4,00,000
BracesAny case, including heavier crowding and bite correction12 to 24 months₹35,000 to ₹1,00,000
Veneers or smile designSlight unevenness in a good bite, no tooth movement2 to 3 weeksFrom ₹3,000 per tooth
Early orthodontic guidance for a childAges seven to ten, where the jaw or space needs guidingVariesConfirmed at the consultation

We recommend by the case, not the price: aligners where they are proven to work, braces where the movement needs more control, and veneers only when the bite is already right. Prices are indicative and confirmed after clinical examination.

Until you are seen

  1. 1Floss the overlapping teeth every day; crowded teeth trap plaque that a brush misses.
  2. 2If you had braces before and still have your retainers, start wearing them at night again and bring them to the visit.
  3. 3For a child, book the first orthodontic look around age seven, even if nothing looks wrong yet.
  4. 4Bring any earlier X-rays or photographs of your teeth from years ago; they show us how the bite has moved.

How we assess alignment at our Vadavalli clinic

  1. 1

    Records.

    An OPG X-ray, photographs and a scan or impression. The bite, the crowding and the jaw relationship are all in the records.

  2. 2

    Gums and teeth first.

    Teeth only move well on healthy gums, so we check for gum disease and cavities before planning any movement.

  3. 3

    Which route.

    Aligners, braces or a cosmetic fix, with the reasons on screen.

  4. 4

    Timeline and price.

    Your own months and your own figure, before anything is fitted.

Where crooked teeth usually lead

Crooked teeth: quick answers

Yes, at any age, as long as the gums and bone are healthy. A growing share of our alignment patients are over 25.

A small gap in an otherwise good bite can be closed with aligners in months, or masked with a veneer. A larger gap or several gaps usually means aligners or braces.

Aligners for mild to moderate crowding and gaps; braces where the bite needs correcting or the movement is large. The records visit decides, and we tell you why.

Usually not. Relapse is often a mild aligner case, followed by retainers worn for good.

Around age seven, once the first adult molars and front teeth are in. Most need nothing yet; the ones who do benefit from early guidance.

₹300 to ₹500 for the consultation and ₹500 to ₹800 for the OPG. Treatment prices are on the braces and aligner pages.
