About Mthobeli Vundla Orthodontist Secunda

Dr Vundla earned his BChD and PDD-Ortho from the University of the Western Cape. He then completed an MDent in Orthodontics from the University of the Witwatersrand. As a specialist orthodontist, he completed at least three additional years of specialised training after his dental degree.

Orthodontics focuses on correcting dental problems such as overbites, underbites, overcrowding, and misaligned teeth. These treatments suit people of almost any age. They can also improve oral health and the look of the smile.

Adolescent Orthodontics

Teenagers can benefit greatly from orthodontic treatment because their jaws are still developing. As a result, orthodontic care can help correct dental and jaw problems more effectively. Dr Vundla provides tailored treatment options to support a healthy and confident smile.

Braces & Aligners

Dr Vundla offers several orthodontic options to help move teeth into better positions:

• Traditional Metal Braces – Metal brackets connect to the teeth with wires. Regular adjustments gradually align the teeth.
• Clear Braces – These provide the benefits of metal braces while offering a less noticeable appearance.
• Invisalign Clear Aligners – Custom-made, removable clear aligners gradually move teeth without wires or brackets.
• Lingual Braces – These braces attach to the inner side of the teeth, making them an almost invisible option.

Surgical Orthodontics

Some patients need more advanced treatment. In these cases, surgical orthodontics can help correct severe jaw irregularities. It can also improve both function and appearance.

Adult Orthodontic Treatment

Adults can also benefit from braces and other orthodontic treatments. A well-aligned smile can improve self-confidence and dental health. In addition, treatment can help correct destructive bites that may cause excessive tooth wear.

Early Treatment and Retainers

Interceptive orthodontic treatment can start as early as 6 or 7 years old. Early care can help manage protruding teeth and crossbites, which may 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.

After treatment, retainers help keep teeth in their corrected positions. These removable appliances help maintain alignment over time.
