Orthodontics And Dental Orthopaedics

Orthodontics and dentofacial orthopaedics specialization deals with diagnosis, prevention, interception and correction of malocclusion and other abnormalities  of the developing or mature orofacial structures. The departments offers a full range of orthodontics services including removable appliances, myofunctional appliances and fixed appliances. The department is well equipped with modern orthodontic clinical and laboratory facilities along with a separate photography room. Apart from traditional means of correcting malocclusions with conventional fixed appliances, the department believes in use of ultra-modern treatment techniques including lingual orthodontics and clear aligners. Use of skeletal anchorage systems including mini-plates and mini-implants, has revolutionized the treatment and offerened promising results for complex dental and skeletal deformities.
