When it comes to orthodontic care, experience and innovation make all the difference. Dr. Pravin Shetty is more than just a practicing orthodontist—he’s a respected global educator and inventor in the field. With over 20 years of clinical success, Dr. Shetty has helped thousands of patients rediscover confidence through precise, technology-driven treatments.
His Khar-based clinic, B.Braced Exclusive Centre for Orthodontics, is equipped with fully digital planning systems and ISO 2002:2008 certification, ensuring every step of your journey is optimized for comfort, accuracy, and exceptional results.

Whether you’re considering braces for the first time or seeking a more advanced system, Dr. Shetty’s approach makes the decision easy.
Self-ligating braces reduce friction, allowing teeth to move more freely and often shortening overall treatment duration compared to traditional braces.
The built-in clip mechanism requires fewer adjustments, which means less time spent at the clinic.
With no elastic ties to create pressure points, patients often experience less discomfort and irritation.
These braces have a more streamlined look since they don’t use colored bands—ideal for teens and adults seeking subtlety.
Without elastic bands trapping food and plaque, maintaining good oral hygiene becomes much easier during treatment.
When considering self ligating vs traditional braces, self ligating options offer a blend of aesthetics, comfort, and clinical efficiency.
Every smile is unique, which is why Dr. Shetty begins your journey with a comprehensive digital assessment. Instead of messy impressions, he uses 3D scanning to capture your dental structure accurately. This allows for precise planning—down to the smallest tooth movement.
Once your braces are placed, the system does much of the work. The self ligating mechanism ensures continuous gentle pressure, which not only improves comfort but also supports steady progress. Dr. Shetty monitors this closely, ensuring your treatment stays on track while minimizing unnecessary visits.
Even after braces are removed, he’ll guide you through the retention phase with customized retainers and long-term support—because the goal isn’t just straight teeth, but lasting results.
We understand that cost plays a key role in your treatment decisions. This depends on the complexity of your case, the duration of treatment, and the type of brackets used—metal or ceramic.
Although the initial investment may be higher than that of traditional braces, patients find that the convenience, comfort, and reduced appointment frequency make it worthwhile. Especially when you consider the cleaner look and lower maintenance throughout the journey.
At B.Braced, Dr. Shetty ensures every patient receives a transparent quote and payment flexibility. We believe financial clarity should never come at the cost of clinical excellence.
Most treatments take between 12 to 24 months, depending on the complexity of alignment. In many cases, patients finish slightly faster than with traditional braces.
Not typically. These braces use built-in clips instead of elastic ties. However, in some cases, small elastics may be used to correct bite alignment.
Yes. They’re smaller and lack colorful elastic bands, making them a more discreet option than traditional metal braces.
There’s no “best” age, but they work effectively once permanent teeth have erupted—usually from age 12 onward. Adults can also benefit greatly.
Your smile is your signature. Make it a confident one—with the right treatment, guided by the right hands.
