Orthodontic Care Guided by Your Doctor
At Dhingra Orthodontics, you’ll meet directly with a doctor during your initial consultation. Dr. Seema Dhingra and Dr. Azie Dhingra take the time to evaluate your smile, explain your options and answer your questions.
Our practice also uses advanced digital scanning technology to capture detailed images of your teeth without traditional impression trays. Combined with our hands-on approach to care, this technology helps us plan treatment around your individual needs.
Braces for Children, Teens and Adults
Braces are a reliable option for correcting crooked teeth, crowding, gaps and bite concerns. Dhingra Orthodontics offers traditional metal braces and clear ceramic braces, allowing you to choose an option that fits your treatment needs and preferences.
Metal braces offer a traditional approach to tooth alignment, while clear ceramic braces provide a less noticeable alternative. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your smile and explain which options may be appropriate for your case.
Invisalign Clear Aligners for a More Discreet Option
Looking for an alternative to traditional braces? Dhingra Orthodontics offers Invisalign for teens and adults. These custom-made clear aligners gradually move teeth into planned positions and can be removed for eating, brushing and flossing.
As a Platinum Invisalign Provider, our practice uses digital scanning technology to support treatment planning without messy impressions. Your doctor will evaluate your teeth and bite to determine whether Invisalign is a suitable option for your smile.
Early Orthodontic Treatment for Growing Smiles
Early evaluations help us identify developing bite concerns, crowding and jaw growth issues. If your child could benefit from Phase 1 treatment, we’ll explain the recommended approach. If treatment isn’t needed yet, we can monitor their development and determine when to revisit their needs.
Retainers to Help Maintain Your Smile
Completing braces or Invisalign treatment is an important milestone, but maintaining your results requires ongoing care. Retainers help keep your teeth in their new positions while the surrounding tissues adapt and help limit unwanted tooth movement over time.
Dhingra Orthodontics offers several retainer options, including fixed retainers and traditional removable retainers. We’ll help you understand your options and the importance of following your retainer instructions after active treatment.
Laser Treatment for Gingivitis
Healthy gums are an important part of a healthy smile. Dhingra Orthodontics offers laser treatment for gingivitis to address diseased gum tissue and support better gum health as part of appropriate care.
Laser therapy can also help address excess gum tissue in certain cases. During an evaluation, your doctor can discuss your concerns and determine whether laser treatment may be appropriate for you.
Advanced MARPE and MSE Treatment
Miniscrew-Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion (MARPE) and Maxillary Skeletal Expansion (MSE) are advanced orthodontic treatments designed to widen a narrow upper jaw. At Dhingra Orthodontics, we use personalized treatment planning to determine whether these options can help improve your bite, create space for crowded teeth and support a healthier smile.
Teeth Whitening to Brighten Your Smile
Ready to brighten your smile? Dhingra Orthodontics offers professional teeth whitening to help reduce stains and discoloration for a fresher, brighter appearance. Whether you've recently finished orthodontic treatment or simply want to refresh your smile, our team can help you explore whitening options that fit your goals.
What Patients Say About Dhingra Orthodontics
Parents often write about bringing a second or third child to us once the first finishes treatment, while adults who expected braces or Invisalign to feel awkward later in life say they never felt out of place here. With every patient, from kids in Phase 1 to teens and adults, our team explains each step before it happens, and parents of children with special needs say their kids are treated with real respect.
Frequently Asked Questions About Orthodontic Treatment
What is the difference between braces and Invisalign?
Braces use brackets and wires attached to the teeth, while Invisalign uses a series of removable clear aligners. Both can address orthodontic concerns, but their suitability depends on your specific teeth, bite and treatment needs. Your doctor can help you compare the options during a consultation.
Does Dhingra Orthodontics treat adults?
Yes! Dhingra Orthodontics offers orthodontic treatment for adults, including traditional metal braces, clear ceramic braces and Invisalign. Your doctor will evaluate your teeth and bite to help determine which treatment options are appropriate for you.
How do I know which orthodontic treatment is right for me?
The best way to explore your options is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Seema Dhingra or Dr. Azie Dhingra. Your doctor will evaluate your teeth and bite, discuss your goals and explain the treatment options that may suit your needs.
At what age should my child see an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an initial orthodontic evaluation by age seven because certain orthodontic concerns are easier to address while a child’s teeth and jaw are still developing. That said, not every child will require active treatment at this time.
Can I begin braces or Invisalign on the same day as my consultation?
Same-day starts are available for braces and Invisalign at Dhingra Orthodontics. Whether you can begin treatment at your first visit depends on your individual circumstances and the steps needed to prepare your treatment plan. Your team can explain what to expect when you schedule your consultation.
