Orthodontics

Orthodontist is a person who takes care of the growth,position and health of the jaws and teeth. Most people know as soon as they see braces on your teeth that you are seeing an orthodontist. But little is understood about the field. As with any speciality of Dentistry, it is a vast array of complexities in itself. To make it understood there are 3 basic parts:

Preventive is the first line of defence against your teeth.We work to control early loss of tooth with small ornaments for little kids. We sometimes also use braces but only on permanent healthy teeth

We also see for small or uneven jaws and face. Sometimes we give some funky appliances to help the jaws catch up in growth. We therefore see the child through till his teenage. We call this Interceptive

Corrective is done for adults and can use either braces or Invisible sheets called aligners to straighten teeth. There is no age limit for Corrective for as long as one has teeth it is possible.

Customised [I know I said 3, not 4] Orthodontics is the ability to customise your treatment. From colour, size,shape to medical grade devices made just for you, optimum to your Dental health and longevity.
