About JHB Orthodontist Johannesburg

JHB Orthodontist is located in Highlands North and provides specialist orthodontic care. Dr. Ivan M Esra holds a Bachelor of Dental Science (BDS) from the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits), followed by a Master of Science in Dentistry (Orthodontics).

From 1996 to 2014, Dr. Esra served as a part-time specialist consultant at the Wits Department of Orthodontics. As a result, he gained extensive experience in orthodontic care. In addition, he has shared his knowledge through courses and webinars in South Africa, Namibia, and India.

Orthodontic Services

At JHB Orthodontist, we provide orthodontic treatment based on each patient’s needs. First, Dr. Esra carries out an initial consultation, which includes a thorough examination and intra-oral assessment. He then discusses suitable treatment options and determines whether orthodontic care is right for you at that stage.

Pre-Treatment Records

If orthodontic treatment is needed, we collect the information required for diagnosis and treatment planning. This includes:

• Clinical photographs of your face and jaw
• Digital X-rays of your teeth and jaws
• A possible wrist X-ray to assess growth
• Digital scans or impressions for dental study casts

Treatment Planning and Payment

After the records are complete, Dr. Esra discusses your personal goals and the benefits of orthodontic treatment. The treatment plan includes reviewing the types of braces available for your needs, estimating the treatment time, and explaining the active braces phase and retention period.

The consultation also covers expected results, possible risks, and the estimated treatment cost. In addition, flexible, interest-free payment plans are available. Therefore, patients can work towards a healthy smile through a manageable payment plan.

Conditions Treated by JHB Orthodontist Johannesburg

Dr. Esra treats a wide range of orthodontic conditions, including:

• Crowding
• Underbite
• Crossbite
• Overbite
• Impacted Teeth
• Tongue Thrust
• Thumb Sucking
• Openbite
• Deep Bite Malocclusions
• Overjet CI II
• Underbite CI III
• Spacing

These conditions typically develop when the teeth do not align correctly with the size of the jaw. Therefore, personalised treatment can help address these problems and improve dental alignment.

Starting Your Orthodontic Care

Once you agree to the treatment plan, we begin your orthodontic care. Throughout the process, the treatment focuses on your specific dental needs and goals. JHB Orthodontist Johannesburg provides structured orthodontic care while Dr. Esra guides you through each stage of treatment.

The aim is to address tooth and jaw alignment concerns while helping you achieve a balanced, beautiful smile.
