They are dentists who are Braces Specialists
Orthodontists work in a specialized section of the field of dentistry. They diagnose and treat problems pertaining to alignment, positioning, and spacing of teeth in the face and jaw. They apply an array of treatments including braces and other oral appliances to help the patients get rid of these irregularities.
Orthodontic treatments not only improve teeth, but also your smile, your breathing, chewing and posture. In a nutshell, these treatments improve your LIFE!
It is difficult to maintain crooked and crowded teeth. Not treating these conditions at the right age not only causes tooth decay, but also results into eventual gum disease and tooth loss. Orthodontic problems can also cause inefficient speech, chewing, abnormal wear of tooth surfaces, stress on gum tissue and misalignment of the jaw joints.
If left untreated, orthodontic issues get worse. Orthodontic treatments not only enhance the facial profile of a person but also boost their confidence and gives them the social and career success they aspire for.
If your teeth are crowded, protruded forward, do not meet properly when your mouth closes, cause you speech difficulties, frequent/accidental biting as well as difficulties in chewing and other problems, you should consider seeing an orthodontist.
Other less obvious symptoms are thumb sucking that goes beyond 3 to 4 years of age, mouth breathing, frequent cheek biting etc.
We treat patients within the age range of 5 to 80 years, but average age is between 10-12 years.
Best treatment time is when there are a few milk teeth still left in mouth
.
Symptoms or signs of malocclusion are:
The acquired malocclusion is generally caused by childhood habits like thumb sucking, excessive usage of pacifiers, airway obstruction caused due to allergies or premature loss of permanent teeth. In both the cases (acquired and hereditary), the alignment of teeth gets affected along with facial appearance.
It all depends on the severity of the problem and the age of the patient, but on an average, the treatment takes approximately 1-2 years.
It depends on the type of treatment and the problems, but on an average, the patient has to visit the clinic every 4 to 6 weeks.
Braces are brackets and wires fixed on teeth to move them into the proper position.
No, they don’t.
Mostly, no. But if the patient comes after 15-16 years of age when the growth has stopped, extractions may be needed.
Yes. Avoid hard and sticky foods like coconut, sugarcane, dry fruits, hard candies & chocolates, chewing gum etc.
Yes, please brush your teeth after every meal.
No, not at all.

It has been 5 years of treatment with Dr. Alka aunty and her team, and ever since the treatment started. I have never ever had a disappointing experience. Every one is so joyful and supportive that you do not feel scared at all, the way I have felt with other doctors while under going any treatment, even though you do something they have asked you not to. As for the results, they are fantastic. I can see the visible change in my smile over the period of time.
- Shom Shah
It has been 3 years of my treatment. My treatment was wonderful and not even a once I had felt awkward with my braces. Firstly, I thought how awkward would it feel with braces to eat and smile but now I realize that with braces my smile has been wonderful. They have been very good even if I used to break something and bring. They have always been by my side saying no problem we will do it, They are all fantastic. Everyone says that because of braces I look very nice and that’s just because of you Dr. Alka Banker And her Team.
Thank you so much for this beautiful smile of mine.

Amazing experience, appreciate the effort behind our beautiful smile but not giving a case for retainers wasn’t expected since my child kept it any where and it directly goes in to her month which is any genetics since stomach infection is more prone. Otherwise everything was amazing my children had an amazing journey with braces.

My childhood experience of a dentist has been quite sour and dreadful by going through the consequences of missing 2 teeth. But PULSE HOSPITAL changed it by giving me pleasant environment full of soft toys, lollipops, games, and Wi-Fi which makes it a dream hub for all ages. Beautiful strong teeth with a charming smile has now become an asset to my personality.
Thanks to your lovely and PATIENT FRIENDLY TEAM.
- Palak Patel
I had a nice experience with Pulse Dental Clinic. My toughest derangement of teeth was at last brought to its proper place. All the doctors behaved in a nice friendly way. Even Pinkyben responded positively and answered every doubt my mom had about the timings. I remember once Alka Ma’am came to see me immediately on emergency call. I can never forget those tasty Pepsi ice and the amazing WII- GAME experience.
