Orthodontics

Orthodontic is the speciality of dentistry that deals with diagnosis, prevention and correction of malpositioned teeth and jaws.
      
Is Orthodontic treatment necessary?
 
Orthodontic treatment is about more than a beautiful smile. It involves the correction of bad bite, repositioning the malalligned  jaw and thereby maximizing the overall health. Most patients begins orthodontic treatment around the age of 14-all the permanent teeth are fully erupted by this age and the jaw structures will not change drastically.

We recommend that your child gets an early checkup no later than age 7,  earlier the discrepancies are caught, the better will be your child’s dental health in the long run.

Early orthodontic treatment is to prevent future orthodontic issues not to cure the current problems. This is because the teeth and jaw are still developing in the age between 7 and 14.
