Orthodontics

What is Orthodontics?

It is the special area of dentistry that deals with the proper aligning of irregularly placed or crooked teeth [malocclusions]. The specialist dental surgeon or the consultant is called the “Orthodontist’’ who performs the above task. An orthodontist uses plates or braces to move or realign your teeth. We, “Danthaja” are well equipped with well-trained, fully qualified Consultant Orthodontists enriched with modern knowledge and the world’s most up-to-date technology to deliver you the best orthodontic care. We assure you that your journey of orthodontic treatment will be carefully looked after by our well-trained team to ensure the best possible outcome.

When should I see an orthodontist?

You may see a lot of problems related to the alignment of your set of teeth. Those may be wrong placement, twisting or even delayed eruption of any tooth of you or your child. The following are a few common instances where you should seek advice from an orthodontist. Whenever you are in doubt, “Danthaja” team is there to help you to take the correct path of referral to the orthodontist. Your comfort is our prime concern.

IRREGULARLY PLACED/ CROOKED TEETH

There are several orthodontic treatments available to correct this anomaly. The correction may require extraction of a few teeth placed far behind in your jaw, but that is not a must. The mild forms of irregularities can be corrected by simple orthodontic treatment modalities like removable invisialigners, but the complex cases will need braces fixed to teeth. We at “Danthaja Pewmium Orthodontic Chambers” are always ready to enlighten you about your orthodontic problem as well as the available treatment options as we believe that it is our patient’s right to know the aforesaid.

TEETH JUTTING OUT

This is one of the commonest complains of the patients and it is totally understandable that you feel less attractive with proclined upper or lower teeth. Yet, modern Orthodontics provide a wide spectrum of treatment options to overcome this aesthetic issue. The treatment type depends on the age of the patient. The treatment modalities are ranged from growth modifications in the adolescents to surgical corrections in the adult patients. “Danthaja” team is well resourced with both specialists and the technology to serve the best care to you. Not only that, but we are proud to offer the most advanced type of treatment i.e. Surgery for gross jaw bone deformities through a skillful team of doctors whom you can meet under the “Danthaja” roof concurrently.

LOWER TEETH PLACED IN FRONT OF UPPER TEETH

Usually, our upper teeth are placed in front of our lower teeth. But there are instances where lower teeth stand far in the front and that kind of malocclusion is called a “Cross bite”. This condition gives you an appearance of a “witch”. But an Orthodontist can re-align your teeth in order that you can smile without any hesitation. The modality of treatment may vary on the degree of the problem and as we mentioned, it will be beyond the scope of a single speciality where a multimodal speciality board will have to partake in the workout of your treatment. We are delighted to offer all the necessary human resources representing the corresponding specialities at “Danthaja”, for your utmost convenience. We assure you that you will be prudently escorted under the guidance of our expert team until the targeted outcome is achieved to its best.

CHILD IS THUMB SUCKING!

Certain habits are so difficult to stop and thumb sucking among children is no exception. Unfortunately, this habit can cause various damages to your Childs’ dentition and the facial structure. Hence, we urge you to consult a qualified Orthodontist, whenever you notice this habit in your child. Don’t be harsh on them. Being tactful is the key!
And of course, the Orthodontist and the team at “Danthaja”, are delighted to help and guide you immensely to help your child to get rid of this habit. Because, we believe that not only gifting the prime dental care to the nation but also providing preventive health education is also a responsibility of ours.

ALIGNING TEETH OF A GROWN UP

Guess what? You can have Orthodontic treatments to correct the malocclusions at any age. It’s not only for the kids and young people because everyone has the right to stay attractive irrespective of age. Of course, there can be certain limitations when it comes to treatment options. But with the modern developments in our field, nothing is impossible. “Danthaja” take pride in providing the best feasible adult orthodontic treatment plans to the carefully chosen candidate.

ALTERNATIVE TO METAL BRACES?

You certainly do. Metal braces are effective, yet some people don’t want to have ‘Iron smile’. Therefore, the field of Orthodontics provides more esthetic treatment options like ceramic brackets, Invisaligners etc. At “Danthaja”, we are fortified with absolutely modernized words’ up to date aesthetic treatment options to serve your purpose, since our patient comfort is our prime concern.

DELAYED ERUPTION OF PERMANENT TEETH

There are many reasons for delayed eruption. There can be buried normal or abnormal teeth inside the jaw bone preventing the coming out of permanent teeth or the permanent tooth itself can be buried in a deep or wrong place inside the bone. In these cases, certain methods are there to help the process of eruption of buried teeth such as pulling it with orthodontic wires or removing the impediment by minor surgeries. In such instances, Orthodontist has to work in collaboration with an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon. Under our “Danthaja” roof, we are pleased to deliver these kind of combined treatments with the active involvement of our specialists in all relevant fields.

MILK TEETH NOT FALLING AFTER PERMANENT TEETH ERUPTION

Sometimes, permanent teeth can erupt before milk teeth fall off. Unfortunately, this can lead to future malocclusions. Therefore, most of the times, Orthodontists advice to get the over-retained milk tooth removed to minimize the severity of future problems. Depending on the condition and the placement of permanent teeth further orthodontic corrections may be needed. As a caring team, we offer not only the treatment, but also the aftercare and necessary follow up at “Danthaja” which uplifts our humane care to our patients.
