conscious of their smile and can have negative impact on their overall personality. Further, it leads to problems like
food pockets, bleeding gums, decayed teeth and unpleasant appearance.

functioning teeth in children of all ages. With advancement in materials and technologies, treatment has become easy,
comfortable for kids in a reduced treatment time frame.

dysfunctions, food pockets in crowded teeth and creates a perfect harmony between pleasing esthetics and optimal
functioning mechanics. At DentXperts, we offer orthodontic correction for all ages with a wide variety of braces and
clear aligners to choose from.
