Orthodontics (Braces)

Orthodontics (Braces)

Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on correcting misaligned teeth and jaws to improve both function and appearance. Braces are the most common and effective orthodontic treatment used to straighten crooked teeth, close gaps, and correct bite issues such as overbite, underbite, and crossbite. At Shining Smiles – Complete Dental Solutions, Dr. Niyati Shah offers comprehensive orthodontic care tailored to the unique needs of each patient.

Braces work by applying gentle, continuous pressure over time to gradually shift teeth into their proper positions. Traditional metal braces consist of brackets fixed to the teeth and connected by archwires and elastic bands. For those seeking more discreet options, ceramic braces and clear aligners are also available.

Dr. Niyati Shah ensures a personalized treatment plan after a thorough clinical examination, dental impressions, and digital imaging. The duration of treatment varies depending on the severity of the case but typically ranges from 12 to 24 months.

Orthodontic treatment not only enhances the appearance of your smile but also contributes to better oral health. Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease. Correcting bite issues also helps in preventing jaw pain, excessive tooth wear, and speech difficulties.

At Shining Smiles, patient comfort and convenience are a top priority. Regular follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor progress and make necessary adjustments. Dr. Shah ensures that patients are educated on how to care for their braces, maintain good oral hygiene, and avoid foods that may damage the appliance.

For younger patients, early orthodontic evaluation (usually around age 7) can help identify potential issues and allow for timely intervention. For teens and adults, modern orthodontics offers solutions that fit seamlessly into daily life with minimal discomfort and maximum results.

Whether you are considering treatment for yourself or your child, Dr. Niyati Shah combines experience, precision, and a compassionate approach to create healthy, confident smiles that last a lifetime. With state-of-the-art techniques and a focus on aesthetic outcomes, orthodontic care at Shining Smiles is a transformative journey toward improved oral health and self-esteem.
