• Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that deals
  with diagnosing and correcting malpositioned
  teeth and their abnormal alignment. It is good to
  book an early appointment with the specialist, as
  an early diagnosis has several benefits. As
  people are becoming more informed about oral
  health, visiting a dentist has become a regular
  thing. There are many dental clinics in Pune
  dedicated to your dental requirements.
• The American Academy of Orthodontics (AAO)
  recommends seeing an orthodontist at the age of
  seven. It is good to consult an orthodontist for
  your child because, firstly, remedy in an early
  stage is always a better option and secondly,
  the jaws of a child are tender, so the treatment
  comparatively will be less painful. The
  specialist will be able to offer early diagnosis
  and treatment advice for your child. Orthodontic
  treatment in Pune is readily available.

• The treatment is usually carried in two phases
  Phase 1 and Phase 2. These phases typically
  include age-related treatments.
• Phase 1 It is performed on younger patients who
  have a mix of milk teeth and permanent teeth. At
  an early age, this treatments motive is to
  reprimand the orientation and building of bones
  in jaws and fix the teeth misalignment. Early
  treatment offers a wide range of benefits to the
  children and their parents as well. Some benefits
  are as
• It lowers the risk of pain by the protrusion of
  frontal teeth.
• It guides and corrects bad oral habits.
• Early diagnosis of the problem saves time,
  effort, and money eventually.
• It improves a childs smile ultimately.

• Phase 2- This treatment is given when all the
  permanent teeth have erupted and need braces to
  correct the orientation. Your specialist may
  advise this after Phase 1. Being a follow-up
  method, it is less invasive. But, those receiving
  it for the first time must be knowledgeable about
  the orthodontic procedure.
