According to the 2025 Align Technology Market Report, India saw 30% YoY growth in clear aligner usage—a shift driven by remote work lifestyles, tech-driven care, and social media aesthetics. But beyond the trends, here’s what you need to know:

1. Looks & Lifestyle:

• Clear Aligners: Virtually invisible, removable, perfect for teens and working adults who want discreet treatment.

• Braces: Still visible, but come in trendy options like ceramic or colored bands. Better for complex alignment cases.

 Pro Tip: If your job involves client meetings, or you’re planning your wedding photos—aligners might just be your best friend.

2. Comfort & Convenience:

• Aligners: Smooth edges, no metal cuts. You can remove them while eating or brushing.

• Braces: Fixed to teeth. Can cause mild discomfort, especially after adjustments.

Thanks to AI-assisted remote monitoring, Kutumb Dental now lets patients check progress from home using an app. That’s a game-changer—especially for busy college students or working professionals in Ghaziabad.

3. Cost in Ghaziabad (2025 Edition):

• Aligners: Start from ₹70,000 – ₹1.5 Lakhs depending on case complexity.

• Braces: Metal braces begin around ₹40,000; ceramic ones can go up to ₹80,000.

At Kutumb Dental in Vasundhara, we offer customized EMI plans for both braces and aligners—so your smile makeover won’t break the bank.

4. Treatment Time:

• Aligners: 6–18 months (if worn 20+ hours/day).

• Braces: 12–24 months, depending on alignment issues.

If you’re committed and consistent, aligners could mean a faster, cleaner smile journey.

5. Best For Whom?

• Teens: Both work, but aligners require responsibility. Forgetting to wear them slows down progress.

• Adults: Aligners are the preferred choice for aesthetics, flexibility, and comfort.
