Braces And Clear Aligners (Invisible Braces)

Everyone deserves a perfect smile. We at expert dental care can help you achieve that. We offer both Braces and invisible braces(Aligners) for our patients. The most important step is the proper diagnosis of the condition and making an appropriate treatment plan to suit the needs of every individual. In most cases the patient can choose between fixed braces and invisible braces which are also referred to as clear aligners. However, in some cases we do advise a particular modality if it is the best option for you.

We also offer interceptive orthodontics which deals with early correction of conditions. The treatments involve expanders, habit corrections, correction of crowding, timely extractions and so on.

It is imperative to have regular check ups for children between the age of 6-16 years for us to monitor the growth and development of your child. Early diagnosis and intervention yield better and more stable results. The best age for an orthodontic consult is 8 years according to AAO.

How do I know if my child requires orthodontic treatment?

The best way to find out is to get a regular check done for your child. Not every child requires braces but if one or both parents have had issues with their teeth then it is likely that the child may require monitoring. There are a few ways to identify the need for braces or any other corrections. Sometimes a few radiographs (Xrays) may be advised to identify the nature or severity of the condition.

My son is 8 years old and his front teeth have a gap. What can be done?

Some of the conditions are self-correcting. As the child grows the teeth move and align themselves without the need of any corrective treatment. However, it is best assessed by a professional dentist. We encourage our patients to have early and regular dental checkups. We are more than happy to answer all your queries.
