Orthodontic treatment corrects dental irregularities such as overbites, underbites, overcrowding, and misalignment. As a result, treatment can improve oral health and the look of the smile. These treatments suit people of almost any age.

Adolescent Orthodontics

Teenagers can benefit greatly from orthodontic treatment. Their developing jaws allow effective corrections. Dr Vundla provides tailored solutions for adolescents. Therefore, treatment can support a confident and healthy smile.

Braces and Aligners

Patients can choose from several orthodontic options. Traditional metal braces use metal brackets and wires to gradually align the teeth through regular adjustments. Clear braces offer a less noticeable option while providing the same benefits with a more discreet look.

Invisalign Clear Aligners use custom-made, removable clear aligners. These aligners gradually move the teeth into the correct position without wires or brackets. Lingual braces attach to the inner side of the teeth. Therefore, they offer an almost invisible orthodontic solution.

Surgical orthodontics can help patients who need advanced treatment. It can correct severe jaw irregularities and improve both function and aesthetics.

Adults can also benefit from orthodontic treatment. A well-aligned smile can improve self-confidence and dental health. In addition, adult orthodontic treatment can address destructive bites that contribute to excessive tooth wear.

Early orthodontic treatment can begin as early as 6 or 7 years old. This early care helps manage protruding teeth and crossbites, which can cause uneven jaw growth. Signs that a child may need early treatment include thumb or finger sucking, teeth grinding or clenching, and a deep bite or protruding teeth.

Retainers help maintain corrected tooth alignment after orthodontic treatment. These removable appliances help keep the teeth in their new positions over time.
