Treatment is planned after a clinical assessment of alignment, bite and oral health. Dr. Surana will explain whether braces or aligners are appropriate, how long treatment is likely to take, and what retention involves after the teeth have moved. Children, teenagers and adults are seen.
If you also need a filling, cleaning or other general dental work, that is done at the same clinic by Dr. Maninder Singh Grewal.

Orthodontic treatment may help address crooked or crowded teeth, gaps and certain bite problems, including overbite, underbite, crossbite and open bite. Suitability depends on the individual case.
Clear aligners are not suitable for every orthodontic problem. An orthodontist needs to assess your teeth, bite and oral health before deciding whether aligners, braces or another approach is appropriate.

Yes. Orthodontic treatment can be considered for adults as well as children and teenagers. The appropriate treatment depends on oral health, tooth position, bite and the individual’s treatment requirements.
