Information on Orthodontics

What you should look for when starting your smile journey

1. Always look for a Specialist Orthodontist; this means that they have had additional training in straightening teeth, correcting bite and closing gaps. Specialists Orthodontists will have seen lots of patients and be well experienced when it comes to setting expectations. Nishanthi has been a qualified dentist since 1992 and a Specialist Orthodontist since 2001.
2. Find an Orthodontist you trust and will stay in touch with you; here you will always see Nishtanti and every visit. Nishanthi is always contactable should you have any issues or concerns. During the COVID-19 lockdown, she personally called and kept in touch with every single one of her patients. Sometimes you can visit an Orthodontic practice but not see the same person at every visit. Nishanthi will ensure that you are personally looked after every step of your smile journey.
3. Trust in an Orthodontist who can show you previous cases; with Orthodontics you want to find a practitioner who can show you their previous cases. By looking at before and after pictures you will be able to understand what can be realistically achieved. Nishanthi can show you photos, models of teeth and before & after photos. The more patients that an Orthodontist has seen means that they are better suited to predict what will happen to your teeth, how they will move and how long it will take.
