Our Recommendation

Why We Recommend Clear Aligners First

For most misalignment cases, clear aligners deliver the same clinical result as metal braces — with none of the visibility, dietary restrictions, or hygiene difficulties. When a patient asks about straightening their teeth, our first recommendation is always clear aligners.

FAQ

Aligners & Braces Questions

Am I a good candidate for clear aligners?+

Clear aligners work well for crowding, spacing, mild to moderate overbite/underbite, and relapsed cases. A digital scan at Tulip Dental will tell you definitively. Most adults and many teenagers are good candidates.

How long do I need to wear aligners each day?+

20–22 hours per day. You remove them to eat and drink (anything other than water) and to brush and floss. The key to on-time results is discipline — aligner treatment depends on compliance.

What age is appropriate for braces or aligners in Dombivli?+

Orthodontic treatment can begin for children from age 7 for early monitoring. Active treatment typically starts from age 11–13 for growing patients. Adults can start at any age — there is no upper limit for orthodontic treatment.

Will I need retainers after treatment?+

Yes. Retainers are essential after any orthodontic treatment — braces or aligners. Without retainers, teeth relapse toward their original position. At Tulip Dental, we provide removable retainers and advise on wear schedule. Long-term nighttime wear is the standard recommendation.
