If you are traveling then better go for invisible braces that can be removable and not visible. Our orthodontist will design it and set of braces will be given to you at hsr layout Bangalore, you can change it once you come back so no need to visit to dentist any other place
Next Steps
Go for invisible braces which you can change and wear it and our orthodontist will guide you if any difficulty happens on phone
Health Tips
By changing doctors from one place to other desire result will not be there and cost also will become double.

If the person is traveling and not based in city , we would prefer you to go for Invisalign. These are removable sets of trays which you need to wear the whole day , and you keep changing the trays as the treatment progresses
Next Steps
Need to consult specialist for the treatment plan and follow ups - digital scanning is required for the procedure
Health Tips
Do understand the treatment protocol and other details first .

Hi . Yes such a thing can be done. But for such a successful transfer of treatment, it would make most sense for the doctors to know each other, plan the treatment with each other so they follow the similar protocol. Often dentist from other countries may ask you to restart the treatment.
In my opinion, first contact both your local orthodontist and your future orthodontist and plan based upon their confirmation
