Orthodontic Treatment At Solanki Dental Clinic
At Solanki Dental Clinic, we offer orthodontic treatment using braces or aligners to straighten your teeth, improve your bite, and enhance your overall dental health and appearance. Whether you’re seeking to correct crooked teeth or align your bite for better function, our team is dedicated to helping you achieve a beautifully straight and healthy smile.
What Is Orthodontic Treatment?
Orthodontic treatment involves the use of braces or clear aligners to move teeth into better positions. This can help address various dental issues such as misaligned teeth, overcrowding, gaps, or an improper bite (overbite, underbite, crossbite). The goal is to improve both the appearance and function of your smile, making it easier to maintain good oral hygiene and achieve a healthier bite.
Why Choose Orthodontic Treatment?
- Aesthetic Improvement: Straightening your teeth can enhance the appearance of your smile, boosting your confidence.
- Improved Bite Function: Orthodontics can correct bite issues, making it easier to chew and speak while reducing the risk of wear on your teeth.
- Better Oral Health: Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing the likelihood of plaque buildup, cavities, and gum disease.
- Customized Solutions: Whether you choose traditional braces or clear aligners, we offer personalized treatment options based on your needs and preferences.

The Orthodontic Treatment Process At Solanki Dental Clinic
The process of orthodontic treatment is tailored to each patient, but generally includes the following steps:
Initial Consultation:
During your first visit to Solanki Dental Clinic, our orthodontist will assess your dental health, take X-rays, and discuss your goals. This helps us determine the best treatment plan for you.
Placement of Braces or Aligners:
If you opt for braces, brackets will be attached to your teeth, and a wire will be used to gradually move your teeth into position. For clear aligners, we’ll take impressions of your teeth and design a series of custom-made aligners that you’ll wear throughout the treatment.
Regular Adjustments:
For braces, you’ll need to visit the clinic periodically for adjustments, where the wire may be tightened to continue moving your teeth. If you have clear aligners, you’ll switch to a new set of aligners every couple of weeks as your teeth gradually shift into place.
Completion and Retention:
Once your teeth are properly aligned, your treatment will be complete. A retainer may be provided to maintain the results and prevent your teeth from shifting back.
Recovery and Aftercare
Orthodontic treatment generally requires minimal recovery time, but you may experience some discomfort after adjustments. Here are some tips for managing your treatment:
- Pain Management: Mild soreness is common after adjustments. Over-the-counter pain relievers and a warm saltwater rinse can help relieve discomfort.
- Oral Hygiene: Keeping your teeth clean is crucial during orthodontic treatment. Make sure to brush and floss regularly, and use special tools like interdental brushes to clean around braces and wires.
- Dietary Changes: Avoid hard or sticky foods that can damage your braces. Follow your orthodontist’s advice for food restrictions.
