Any dentist can order Invisalign trays. Fewer than 5% of orthodontists in India are Board-Certified Diplomates of the American Board of Orthodontics. Board Certification is not a degree, it is an independent examination that orthodontists take after their Master's. It tests case planning, complex biomechanics, treatment efficiency, and the long-term stability of results.
Dr. Chirag is one of the few in India who has cleared it. For you, that means every case is planned to international standards. Movements are staged correctly. Refinements are anticipated. And the final result stays stable, not one that regresses six months after treatment ends.
A proper diagnostic session with a Board-Certified specialist. You leave with everything you need to decide.
Every case tells a story. Here are a few from patients who chose to straighten their teeth with us.







Dr. Chirag Chawan is one of the few Board-Certified Orthodontists in India. He completed his Orthodontic Residency at UCLA School of Dentistry, then served as the Past President of the UCLA Alumni. He has over 15 years of clinical experience treating complex orthodontic cases across the US and India, from mild aligner cases to full jaw surgery orthodontics. Every orthodontic case at Smiles by Dr. C is planned and managed by Dr. Chirag directly.

Nadine came to Dr. Chirag Chawan for orthodontic treatment. Here is what she said about her experience.
"He was first recommended to me by my sister, but after I did a lot of research on him, I found out that he was a good doctor to go to. The biggest change was definitely my smile and my confidence."
If you mean clear aligners, treatment starts around ₹79,000 and Invisalign ranges from ₹1,20,000 to ₹2,50,000. If you mean ceramic braces, those run ₹65,000 to ₹1,20,000. Dr. Chirag will tell you which suits your case at the consultation.
Yes. Transparent aligners, clear aligners and invisible braces are different names for the same treatment: a series of clear, removable trays that move your teeth step by step. Invisalign is one well-known brand of aligners. At your consultation Dr. Chirag tells you which aligner system suits your teeth and what it will cost.
Yes. Our clinic is at Office 312, 3rd Floor, JK Chambers, Sector 17, Vashi, Navi Mumbai. Patients travel to us from Sanpada, Nerul, Juinagar, Seawoods, CBD Belapur, Kharghar, Airoli and Kopar Khairane.
Clear aligners in Vashi start around ₹79,000, and Invisalign ranges from ₹1,20,000 to ₹2,50,000+ depending on case complexity, the number of trays needed, and refinement inclusions. You get an exact figure at your consultation, in writing, before any decision.
Most cases finish in 6 to 18 months. Very mild cases can be done in as little as 4 months. Complex cases can go beyond 18 months. You get an accurate timeline at your consultation.
Yes, in some form. Teeth naturally want to shift back without retention. You wear the retainer full-time initially, then transition to nighttime-only wear for long-term stability.
Absolutely. This is one of the most common consultations we see, adults who had braces in school whose teeth shifted afterward. Aligners are ideal for this scenario.
No, but there is mild pressure and soreness for the first 2 to 3 days of every new tray. This is a good sign, it means the tray is doing its job. Regular painkillers are usually not needed.
Invisalign is the original clear aligner system with the largest case database and the most refined predictability. Cheaper Indian brands can be effective for simple cases, but for anything moderate to complex, Invisalign delivers more predictable finishes. Dr. Chirag will recommend the right brand for your case honestly.
Every month you wait is a month of the same complaint. Book your Aligner Consultation this month, 3D scan included, and get a written treatment plan from Dr. Chirag.
