What is Orthodontics?
Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on diagnosing, preventing, and treating misalignment of the teeth and jaw. At JGHR Total Dental Care in T Nagar, Chennai, we provide a wide variety of orthodontic treatments tailored to your unique needs, including fixed braces (metal, ceramic, self-ligating Damon, and lingual) and removable aligners (Invisalign and Sarek). Our goal is to help you achieve a straighter smile, improved bite, and overall better oral health.
Orthodontic treatments are not just about aesthetics—they also improve the function of your teeth and jaw, making it easier to chew, speak, and maintain good oral hygiene.

Why Orthodontic Treatment is Essential for Your Smile
Orthodontic treatments do more than just straighten your teeth. Here’s why orthodontics is important for your smile and overall oral health:
Straighter teeth lead to a more attractive and confident smile. Whether you’re looking for a subtle improvement or a more dramatic transformation, orthodontics can help.
Misaligned teeth and jaws can interfere with chewing and speaking. Correcting these issues improves daily functionality, making eating and talking more comfortable.
Crooked or misaligned teeth are harder to clean, increasing the risk of cavities and gum disease. Orthodontic treatment improves dental hygiene by making it easier to brush and floss effectively.
Malocclusions (improper bites) such as overbites, underbites, and crossbites can lead to jaw pain, headaches, and tooth wear. Orthodontic treatment addresses these issues, leading to better jaw health and comfort.
Types of Orthodontic Treatments We Offer
Fixed Braces
Fixed braces are a traditional and highly effective method for straightening teeth. They consist of brackets that are attached to your teeth and connected by wires and elastic bands. We offer several types of fixed braces, each designed to meet different needs:
At JGHR Total Dental Care, we offer a wide range of orthodontic options to suit your personal needs, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals. Whether you prefer fixed braces or removable aligners, we provide the most advanced treatments available.
Metal Braces
Metal braces are the most common type of braces and are made from durable stainless steel. They are highly effective at treating complex dental issues and are ideal for patients who need significant realignment. While visible, metal braces are a cost-effective solution for achieving a beautiful, functional smile.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces work the same way as metal braces but are made of tooth-colored or clear materials, making them less noticeable. They are a popular choice for individuals who want a more discreet option while still receiving the full benefits of traditional braces.
Self-Ligating Braces (Damon System)
The Damon System uses self-ligating brackets that do not require elastic ties. These braces move teeth more efficiently and with less friction, reducing treatment time and discomfort. Damon braces also require fewer visits to the orthodontist, making them a convenient option for busy individuals.
Lingual Braces
Lingual braces are placed on the back of your teeth, making them completely hidden from view. This option is perfect for individuals who want to straighten their teeth discreetly, as they are not visible from the front. Lingual braces are custom-made to fit the shape of your teeth, providing an effective, hidden treatment solution.
Removable Aligners
For those seeking a more discreet and comfortable treatment option, removable aligners offer a great solution. These aligners gradually shift your teeth into place without the need for brackets or wires. They are transparent, removable, and more comfortable than traditional braces.
Invisalign
Invisalign aligners are clear, custom-made plastic trays that fit over your teeth. They are virtually invisible, making them a popular choice for adults and teenagers who want a more discreet option. Invisalign aligners are removable, allowing you to eat and drink as you please, and they are comfortable to wear with minimal irritation
Sarek Aligners
Sarek aligners are another excellent choice for patients seeking a clear and comfortable way to straighten their teeth. Similar to Invisalign, Sarek aligners are custom-made and designed to be worn throughout the day and night. The advantage of Sarek aligners is their precision, providing effective results with less time needed for treatment.
Intraoral Scanner
Modern orthodontic care begins with precise digital impressions, and our intraoral scanner delivers just that—without the mess of traditional molds. This advanced technology captures highly accurate 3D images of your teeth and bite in minutes, enhancing diagnosis, treatment planning, and appliance fabrication. Whether you're starting braces or clear aligners, the intraoral scanner ensures a more comfortable experience, faster turnaround times, and improved treatment outcomes through digital precision.

The Orthodontic Treatment Process
At JGHR Total Dental Care, we guide you through every step of your orthodontic journey
1. Consultation and Examination
During your initial consultation, our orthodontist will examine your teeth, take X-rays, and discuss your treatment goals. We’ll provide you with all the information you need to make an informed decision about the best orthodontic treatment for you.
2. Treatment Plan Development
After evaluating your needs, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan that outlines the best course of action, including the type of braces or aligners that are most suitable for you.
3. Fitting and Adjustment
For fixed braces, the process involves placing brackets on your teeth and connecting them with a wire. For removable aligners, you’ll be provided with your first set of aligners, which you’ll wear throughout the day and night. Both treatments require periodic adjustments to ensure your teeth are moving as planned.
4. Ongoing Monitoring
Throughout your treatment, we’ll schedule regular follow-up visits to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to ensure optimal results.
4. Final Result and Retainers
Once your treatment is complete, we’ll provide you with retainers to help maintain your newly aligned teeth. Retainers are crucial for keeping your teeth in place and preventing them from shifting back over time.
