When comparing Gurgaon packages for lingual braces, check whether each quote includes:

• Laboratory work and materials
• Each treatment visit
• Review appointments

Lingual braces are fixed orthodontic braces fixed to the back surfaces of the teeth, so they can barely be seen from the front.

WebMD says that lingual braces cost more than conventional braces and fewer orthodontists are trained to fit them, although they treat most of the same issues.

A lisp is more common than with front braces and can last a month or more.

The tongue is commonly sore at first, and food gets trapped easily, so a water flosser can help.

Orthodontic treatment needs regular adjustments over many months, so check how these would work if you live in another country.

Flying home: most dental treatment has no effect on flying, though implants and other staged work need healing time between appointments, so plan each trip around that.

A Gurgaon quote for lingual braces is normally made up of these items:

• Dental examination and X-rays: or a 3D CBCT scan.

• Trips to Gurgaon: work done in stages can mean coming back a second time.
• Length of treatment: commonly many months.
• Custom brackets and wires: made for your teeth.
• Adjustment appointments: regularly during treatment.
• Retainers: after the braces come off.

NABH, the hospital accreditation board of the Quality Council of India whose standards carry ISQua accreditation, sets the national benchmark for hospitals, and its online directory shows whether a Gurgaon hospital's accreditation is still current.

Gurgaon is part of Delhi NCR, where India's first hospital to gain Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation did so in 2005, and JCI publishes a searchable list of the organisations it currently accredits.

Gurgaon was officially renamed Gurugram by the Haryana government in 2016, so hospital letters, maps and taxi apps may use either name.
