Cost of Braces in Bhubaneswar — Metal, Ceramic, and Aligners Price Guide

Braces are one of the most common orthodontic treatments in Bhubaneswar. Patients of all ages, from teenagers to working professionals, want straighter teeth and a better bite. The cost of braces depends on the type, the complexity of the case, and the clinic. In India, orthodontic treatment is becoming increasingly popular, with growing awareness of the importance of dental alignment for both aesthetics and oral health.

In Bhubaneswar, the cost of braces is significantly lower than in metro cities like Delhi and Mumbai, while the quality of care is comparable. Many patients from Cuttack, Puri, and other parts of Odisha travel to Bhubaneswar for affordable orthodontic treatment.

At YourDentist Laser Dental Clinic in Bhubaneswar, Dr. Arpita Dash offers metal braces, ceramic braces, self-ligating braces, and clear aligners. This guide breaks down the cost of each option.

Types of braces available in Bhubaneswar

There are four main types of orthodontic treatment available at most clinics:

1. Metal braces: Traditional stainless steel brackets and wires.
2. Ceramic braces: Tooth-coloured brackets that are less visible.
3. Self-ligating braces: Braces with a sliding mechanism instead of elastic ties.
4. Clear aligners: Removable, transparent trays.

Each type has different costs, aesthetics, and treatment times.

Cost of braces in Bhubaneswar (2026)

Type	Cost range (INR)	Treatment time
Metal braces	₹25,000 - ₹40,000	12 to 24 months
Ceramic braces	₹35,000 - ₹60,000	12 to 24 months
Self-ligating braces	₹50,000 - ₹80,000	12 to 20 months
Clear aligners	₹60,000 - ₹1,50,000	6 to 18 months

The actual cost depends on the complexity of the case, the duration of treatment, and the materials used.

Factors that affect braces cost

Complexity of the case

Simple cases with minor crowding cost less than complex cases with severe crowding, crossbite, or jaw problems. Complex cases need more appointments, longer treatment, and sometimes additional appliances.

Type of braces

Metal braces are the most affordable. Ceramic and self-ligating braces cost more. Clear aligners are usually the most expensive because they are custom-made in a lab.

Duration of treatment

Longer treatment means more appointments and adjustments. Most braces treatments last 12 to 24 months.

Dentist’s experience

An orthodontist or experienced dentist may charge more than a general dentist. Dr. Arpita Dash has extensive experience in orthodontic treatment with braces and aligners.

Clinic location and facilities

Clinics with modern equipment and central locations may have slightly higher fees. Bhubaneswar prices are generally lower than metro cities.

Retainers and follow-up

Retainers are needed after braces. Some clinics include retainer costs in the package, while others charge separately. Ask what is included in the quoted price.
