Orthodontics at Dr Dhargalkar’s Multispeciality Dental Clinic focuses on improving the alignment of teeth, correcting jaw irregularities, and enhancing facial aesthetics using advanced techniques such as braces, clear aligners, and corrective jaw surgeries. Our goal is to help patients achieve a confident smile, improved bite function, and long-term oral health.
Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that deals with diagnosing, preventing, and correcting:
Crooked or crowded teeth
Gaps between teeth
Improper bite (overbite, underbite, crossbite, open bite)
Misaligned jaws
Facial growth issues
Orthodontic treatment benefits patients of all ages—from children and teenagers to adults seeking smile correction.
1. Braces (Metal, Ceramic & Self-Ligating)
Braces are one of the most reliable methods of teeth alignment.
We offer several options:
Metal Braces
Highly effective
Durable and cost-efficient
Ceramic Braces
Tooth-coloured brackets
More aesthetic and less visible
Self-Ligating Braces
Faster treatment
Fewer appointments
More comfortable
Suitable for correcting even complex misalignments.
2. Clear Aligners (Invisible Braces)
For patients looking for a discreet and flexible orthodontic solution, we offer custom-made clear aligners.
Benefits of Aligners:
✔ Removable
✔ Nearly invisible
✔ Comfortable, no wires
✔ Easy brushing & eating
✔ Designed with digital planning
Perfect for working professionals and teens who want to avoid visible braces.
3. Interceptive Orthodontics for Children
Early detection and correction of dental issues help prevent bigger problems later.
Includes:
Guidance of jaw growth
Correction of habits (thumb sucking, tongue thrusting)
Space maintainers
Early alignment of developing teeth

4. Corrective Jaw Surgeries (Orthognathic Surgery)
