A straight, well-aligned smile is about more than aesthetics, it improves bite function, makes teeth easier to clean, and boosts confidence. At The Shine Dental Clinic in Sanepa, Lalitpur, we offer orthodontic treatment for children, teenagers, and adults, from early interceptive care to full braces and clear aligner options.
Our experienced dental team provides personalised treatment plans in a calm, family-friendly environment, serving local Nepali patients, expats, and international visitors alike.
Early assessment and intervention can guide jaw and tooth development during childhood, reducing or eliminating the need for more complex treatment later. We evaluate bite, spacing, and jaw alignment and intervene with removable appliances or space maintainers when appropriate.
Traditional metal braces and tooth-coloured ceramic braces are highly effective at correcting crowding, spacing, overbite, underbite, and crossbite in growing patients. We create a structured treatment plan and monitor progress at regular appointments.
It is never too late to straighten your teeth. Adult orthodontic treatment is increasingly common and highly effective. We offer discreet ceramic braces and clear aligner alternatives for adult patients seeking a straighter smile.
For patients who prefer a removable, nearly invisible option, we offer clear aligner treatment. Aligners are changed every 1-2 weeks and gradually shift teeth into alignment, with no metal brackets or wires.
Your Questions About Dental Care, Answered.
We recommend a first orthodontic evaluation at age 7. Early assessment allows us to identify and address developing problems while the jaw is still growing. Full braces typically begin around ages 11-13, once most permanent teeth have erupted.
Treatment duration varies depending on the complexity of the case, typically 12–24 months for full braces. Clear aligner treatment may be shorter for mild to moderate cases. We provide a personalised timeline at your consultation.
There may be mild soreness for a few days after braces are fitted or adjusted, which is normal and manageable with over-the-counter pain relief. Most patients adjust quickly and find the discomfort minimal.
Yes. Adult orthodontics is available at The Shine Dental Clinic. We offer ceramic (tooth-coloured) braces and clear aligners that are far less visible than metal braces, making treatment comfortable for adults in professional settings.
Yes. We work with expat patients and can coordinate treatment plans that accommodate travel. We can also provide documentation for continuation of treatment if you relocate during your orthodontic journey.
Costs vary depending on the type of treatment (traditional metal braces, ceramic braces, or clear aligners), as well as the complexity and length of your case. We provide a full cost breakdown at your consultation so there are no surprises before you commit to treatment.
Most patients with braces are seen every 4–6 weeks for adjustments. Clear aligner patients typically visit less frequently, as new aligner sets are often provided in batches with check-ins every 6–8 weeks to monitor progress.
Hard, sticky, and chewy foods, like hard candy, nuts, popcorn, and chewing gum, can damage brackets and wires. We'll give you a full list of foods to avoid at your fitting appointment, along with tips for eating comfortably during treatment.
Braces make it easier for food and plaque to build up around brackets, so we recommend brushing after every meal, using an orthodontic brush or floss threaders, and considering a water flosser. We'll walk you through a cleaning routine tailored to your appliance.
Once treatment is complete, you'll be fitted with a retainer to hold your teeth in their new position. Retainers are essential, since teeth can shift back if a retainer isn't worn as instructed, so we'll give you a clear wear schedule at your debonding appointment.
