Correction of malaligned teeth has evolved from using metal braces to using esthetic ceramic braces and now to invisible braces. The treatment options are used to reposition improperly placed teeth which ultimately enhances the beauty of the smile per se and the overall beauty of the patient. Not only does it improve the looks but it also improves the periodontal (gum) health by helping the patient perform and maintain proper oral hygiene.

                   Finally, yet importantly, it boosts the morale of the patient.

                 Any deviation in the growth pattern of jaws may lead to improper occlusion resulting in various problems related to gums and the surrounding soft tissues. Prolonged exposure to such improper occlusions can cause TMJ dysfunctions. These corrections are possible from as early as 13-15 years of age and upto 45 years.

                 Each case is carefully evaluated and the probable outcome is explained to the patient and treatment is started accordingly.

                 The most affordable and efficient treatment of choice is orthodontic treatment with metal braces.

                 Ceramic Braces are Esthetic in contrast to the metal braces. These are highly biocompatible which means that the patient adapts to the braces very quickly when compared to the conventional metal braces. The treatment outcome is, however, the same. Another advantage with ceramic braces is esthetics. They are comparatively much less visible than the traditional metal braces.

               The latest advancement in this field of dentistry is now the invisible orthodontics which includes treatment with transparent, custom-fit molds. The convenience and ease of use of this Invisible system have made it the choice of over half a million people and has been effective in creating amazingly beautiful smiles. No metal wires or bands are placed that irritate your mouth, the best part being that most people would not even notice you are in treatment.

               Various other treatments like arch expansion also help in the correction of collapsed arches enhancing the esthetics of the patient. It expands narrow upper arches. It is believed that expansion therapy should be started in patients either before or during their peak growth spurt. To obtain maximal skeletal changes, the therapy is typically initiated at a very early age.
