Orthodontics helps correct overbites, underbites, overcrowding, and misaligned teeth. As a result, treatment can improve both oral health and the look of the smile. These treatments can suit people of almost any age.

Adolescent Orthodontics

Teenagers can benefit greatly from orthodontic treatment. Their developing jaws allow orthodontists to make effective corrections. Therefore, Dr Vundla provides treatment plans that suit each adolescent. This approach helps support a healthy and confident smile.

Braces & Aligners

Dr Vundla provides several options for straightening teeth. Traditional metal braces use metal brackets and wires to move teeth into better positions through regular adjustments. Clear braces offer a less noticeable option while providing the same benefits.

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

Surgical orthodontics can help patients who need more advanced treatment. It can correct severe jaw irregularities while also improving function and appearance.

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

Early treatment can start from around 6 or 7 years old. Interceptive orthodontic treatment can help manage protruding teeth and crossbites. These issues can lead to 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 and Ongoing Care

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