Crowded, crooked or irregularly placed teeth can lead to low self confidence and low self esteem. At the Dental Specialists India we offer various treatment modalities which help in correcting not just the mal-aligned teeth but also the bite of the patient. This leads to improving in aesthetics and also the oral health and function.
Orthodontics is a special type of dentistry that deals with the correction of bad bites, or problems with the way your teeth fit together. While most dentists have been trained to provide orthodontic treatment, for more complex cases, our specialist orthodontists, a specially trained dentist who does orthodontic treatment only, can provide treatment.

Orthodontist for Children
At The Dental Specialist, under our pediatric dentistry department, we have specialists orthodontists who are specially trained to take care of orthodontic problems in children.
The AAO recommends that your child get a check-up with an Orthodontist at the first recognition of an orthodontic problem, but no later than age 7. By then, your child has enough permanent teeth for an orthodontist to determine whether an orthodontic problem exists or is developing. Putting off a check-up with an orthodontist until a child has lost all baby teeth could be a disservice. Some orthodontic problems may be easier to correct if they are found early. A check-up no later than age 7 gives your Orthodontist the opportunity to recommend the appropriate treatment at the appropriate time. If early treatment is in order,the orthodontist may be able to achieve results that may not be possible once the face and jaws have finished growing.
