Had my wisdom tooth removed by Dr. Arvind. I was very nervous, but he explained every step and the whole thing was over in twenty minutes. The swelling was gone in two days. Very clean clinic and friendly staff.

About braces (orthodontics)
Braces use small brackets bonded to the teeth and a thin wire to move them gradually into line. They can correct crowding, gaps and bite problems that aligners sometimes cannot, and they work around the clock without you having to remember anything.
Tooth-coloured ceramic brackets are far less noticeable than metal ones. Before you choose, we show you a digital preview of how your teeth will move — and compare braces with clear aligners on time, comfort and cost.
This may be suitable if you have
- Crowded or overlapping teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- An overbite, underbite or crossbite
- A child aged seven or older due an orthodontic check

How treatment works
Scan and plan
A digital scan, X-rays and photos show what needs to move and how long it will take.
Fit the braces
Brackets are bonded and the wire fitted in one comfortable visit of about an hour.
Adjust and finish
Short reviews every few weeks move the teeth on; retainers hold them once the braces come off.
Frequently asked questions
Do braces hurt?
Teeth feel tender for a few days after fitting and after each adjustment. Soft food and ordinary painkillers help, and the discomfort settles quickly.
Braces or clear aligners — which is better for me?
Braces suit complex movements and people who would rather not manage removable trays. Aligners are nearly invisible but need wearing 22 hours a day. We show you both.
What can't I eat with braces?
Hard and sticky foods — nuts, toffees, hard sweets and corn on the cob — can break brackets. We give you a full list at the fitting.

What patients say about Origin Dental on Google
Got clear aligners here. They showed me a 3D preview before starting, and fourteen months later the result looks exactly like it. Reviews were always on time and nobody tried to upsell me anything.
Took my six-year-old daughter for her first dental visit. Dr. Meera Krishnan was so patient with her, let her sit in the chair and count her teeth first. She actually enjoyed it and wants to go back!
Full mouth rehabilitation with Dr. Meera Raghunathan. The full cost was given in writing before we started and there were no surprises. After years of trouble I can finally chew properly again. Thank you to the whole team.
Single-sitting root canal with Dr. Arjun. Honestly it felt like a filling. He showed me the X-ray before and after and explained why I needed a crown. Highly recommend.
Broke a front tooth on a Sunday morning. Called the helpline, they saw me within the hour and repaired it the same day. Could not tell which tooth it was afterwards.
Teeth whitening with Dr. Kavya before my wedding. Very natural result and no sensitivity at all. The staff are warm and the clinic is spotless.
Flew in from Dubai for two implants. They planned everything on WhatsApp from my X-rays, so I knew the cost and the dates before I landed. Excellent, careful work.
