Modern orthodontic treatment — including Invisalign-style clear aligners and ceramic or metal fixed braces — straightens teeth and corrects bite problems discreetly and effectively. Travelling abroad for orthodontics can reduce costs by 40–60%, making clear aligner therapy accessible to patients priced out of their home market.
Your case is matched to a centre on the basis of clinical outcome data, not marketing. We coordinate every step — from pre-operative work-up to post-treatment follow-up — with a dedicated care coordinator.

This treatment category covers several different operations with different levels of invasiveness, recovery times, and costs. The country averages above blend all of them together — use the breakdown below for a more realistic, procedure-specific estimate.
A custom-made series of clear, removable plastic trays (such as Invisalign) is worn in sequence, each one nudging teeth slightly further into their planned final position. Aligners are nearly invisible and can be removed to eat and brush, but need strict daily wear discipline and suit mild-to-moderate misalignment best.
Typical recovery · 6–18 months
Full treatment course typically runs 6–18 months depending on case complexity, with new aligner sets changed every 1–2 weeks and check-ins (often remote, via scan or photos) every 4–6 weeks; discomfort is usually mild pressure for a day or two after each new tray.

Stainless-steel brackets and wires are bonded to the teeth and progressively tightened to move them into position. This is the most powerful and precise option, able to correct even severe crowding or bite problems, and remains the most affordable choice — though the brackets are the most visible of the three.
Typical recovery · 12–24 months
Full treatment course typically runs 12–24 months with in-person adjustment visits every 4–6 weeks; mild soreness for 2–3 days after each adjustment is normal, and this is generally the fastest option for complex bite corrections.

Tooth-coloured ceramic (or clear sapphire) brackets work identically to metal braces but blend in with the teeth for a more discreet look. They cost more than metal braces and the brackets are somewhat more fragile, but avoid the fully removable-tray discipline that aligners require.
Typical recovery · 12–24 months
Full treatment course typically runs 12–24 months, slightly longer on average than metal braces since ceramic brackets create marginally more friction on the wire; adjustment visits and discomfort pattern otherwise match metal braces.

Not a primary treatment but the maintenance phase that follows any of the above: a removable clear tray or a thin wire bonded behind the front teeth holds them in their corrected position. Skipping or under-wearing a retainer allows teeth to gradually drift back, so long-term or lifelong wear is standard advice after any orthodontic treatment.
Typical recovery · Ongoing / lifelong
Full-time wear is typical for the first 3–6 months after braces or aligners come off, tapering to nightly wear indefinitely afterward. A bonded fixed retainer can last 5–10+ years if it stays intact; removable clear retainers wear out and are usually replaced every 6–24 months.

For clear aligner treatment, your entire set of aligner trays is fabricated upfront based on a 3D digital scan, so you take all trays home with you and progress through them on a schedule agreed with the clinic. Remote check-ins via photos or video calls allow the orthodontist to monitor progress. You return for a final review and retainer fitting when treatment is complete. For fixed braces, many patients have braces bonded during the first visit, then return every three to four months for adjustments — which can be timed with holiday visits. The clinic will also provide a local orthodontist referral for emergency wire issues.
