Orthodontics
Orthodontics
Orthodontics is a specialized field of dentistry that focuses on diagnosing, preventing, and correcting misaligned teeth, jaws, and bite patterns. Through orthodontic treatment, we aim to enhance the appearance of your teeth, improve their functionality, and promote overall oral health. Whether you’re a child or an adult, orthodontic care can help you achieve a beautiful, well-aligned smile that you can proudly show off.
Benefits of Orthodontic Treatment
Improved Dental Alignment
Orthodontic treatment straightens and aligns teeth, resulting in a more appealing smile and enhanced facial aesthetics.
Enhanced Oral Function
Properly aligned teeth and jaws improve chewing and speech functions, leading to better overall oral health.
Prevention of Dental Issues
Orthodontic care can prevent long-term excessive wear and trauma of teeth, protecting them from damage or decay.
Increased Confidence
A confident smile can positively impact self-esteem and overall confidence, boosting your social and professional life.
Better Long-Term Health
Correcting misaligned teeth and bite patterns contributes to healthier gums, teeth, and jaw joints, reducing the risk of future dental problems.
Orthodontics for Children
Children often benefit greatly from early orthodontic intervention. By starting orthodontic treatment during childhood, we can guide the growth of the jaw and create sufficient space for permanent teeth. Addressing orthodontic issues early can prevent more extensive treatment in the future and improve facial symmetry. Dr. Shweta recommends the first orthodontic evaluation by the age of 7 to assess your child’s dental development and identify any potential problems.
Orthodontics for Adults
Orthodontic treatment isn’t limited to children; more and more adults are opting for orthodontic care to achieve a straight and attractive smile. Age is not a barrier to orthodontic treatment, as long as you have the right number of teeth for the process. Whether you have crooked teeth, gaps, or an improper bite, orthodontics can address these concerns and help you regain confidence in your smile.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is orthodontics, and how does it differ from regular dentistry?
Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on correcting misaligned teeth and jaws to improve oral function and aesthetics. While regular dentistry addresses general oral health, orthodontics specifically deals with the alignment of teeth and the proper positioning of the jaw.
At what age should orthodontic treatment begin?
The ideal age for orthodontic evaluation is around seven years old. Early assessment allows the orthodontist to detect any developing issues and determine the best timing for treatment, which may involve braces, aligners, or other orthodontic appliances.
Can adults benefit from orthodontic treatment too?
Absolutely! Orthodontic treatment is not limited to children and teenagers. Many adults choose orthodontic procedures to correct misalignments, improve their smiles, and address bite issues. With advancements in orthodontic technology, options like clear aligners have made treatment more discreet and accessible for adults.
Are braces the only option for orthodontic treatment?
Braces are a common orthodontic treatment, but they are not the only option. In addition to traditional metal braces, there are clear braces, lingual braces (placed on the back of teeth), and clear aligners like Invisalign, which offer a more discreet and comfortable alternative.
How long does orthodontic treatment typically last?
The duration of orthodontic treatment varies depending on the complexity of the case and the chosen treatment method. On average, orthodontic treatment can last anywhere from 12 to 24 months. However, some cases may require longer or shorter treatment times.
Will orthodontic treatment cause discomfort?
It is normal to experience some discomfort or soreness after getting braces or orthodontic appliances. This discomfort usually subsides within a few days as the mouth adjusts to the new pressure. Orthodontists can recommend over-the-counter pain relievers and provide tips to manage any discomfort.
How important is wearing retainers after orthodontic treatment?
Retainers play a vital role in maintaining the results achieved through orthodontic treatment. After braces or aligners are removed, retainers help keep the teeth in their new positions and prevent them from shifting back. Adhering to the retainer-wearing schedule is crucial to ensure long-lasting results.
