What is orthodontic treatment?
Orthodontics is the dental specialty focused on diagnosing and correcting misaligned teeth, improper bites, and jaw development issues. Using braces, aligners, or orthopaedic appliances, an orthodontist moves teeth into their correct positions over a planned treatment period.
At MY DENTIST, orthodontic treatment is led exclusively by Dr. Karuna Singh Sawhny — an MDS-qualified orthodontist and member of the Indian Orthodontic Society (IOS). Every case, from first assessment to final retention, is managed directly by her.

Specialist orthodontic care in Kakadeo, Kanpur.
Orthodontic treatment done right requires deep knowledge of jaw growth, facial development, and bite mechanics — the domain of a specialist-trained orthodontist, not a general dentist offering braces as an add-on.
Dr. Karuna Singh Sawhny holds an MDS in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopaedics and is a member of the Indian Orthodontic Society.
Orthodontic options at MY DENTIST.
Traditional Metal Braces
The most effective and economical option for a wide range of cases. Modern braces are smaller, more comfortable and faster than earlier generations.
Ceramic Braces
Tooth-coloured brackets that blend with your natural teeth — a discreet option without compromising clinical effectiveness.
Self-Ligating Braces
Braces with a built-in clip mechanism instead of elastic ties — reduced friction, often fewer adjustment visits, and added comfort.
Clear / Invisible Aligners
Custom-fitted, removable transparent aligners, including Invisalign, that progressively move teeth. No dietary restrictions, virtually invisible.
Dentofacial Orthopaedics
For growing children — guides jaw development early, reducing future treatment complexity and often avoiding extractions.

The orthodontic process at MY DENTIST.
Comprehensive assessment
Teeth, jaw, bite and facial structure are evaluated. Photographs, X-rays and study models are taken where required.
Treatment
Braces are placed or aligners issued. Progress is monitored at regular appointments with adjustments as treatment advances.
Retention
Once teeth reach final position, a retainer is prescribed — a non-negotiable step that prevents relapse.
When should children see an orthodontist?
The Indian Orthodontic Society recommends an orthodontic screening by age 7. Early treatment is almost always simpler and less costly than correction in adulthood.

Orthodontics FAQs.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
Straightforward cases typically complete in 12–18 months. Complex bite and jaw corrections may take longer.
At what age can my child get braces?
Most children are ready between ages 10–14. An orthodontic screening at age 7 can identify issues for earlier intervention.
Are clear aligners as effective as metal braces?
For mild to moderate cases, yes. For complex bite corrections, braces may be more appropriate.
Can adults get orthodontic treatment?
Absolutely. Adults frequently choose ceramic braces or clear aligners for a discreet experience.
Will braces affect eating or speaking?
An adjustment period of 1–2 weeks is normal. Most patients adapt quickly.
Is orthodontic treatment painful?
Mild soreness after adjustments is normal and resolves within 1–2 days — the sensation of teeth moving.

Costs vary by braces type and duration. Consultation fee is ₹300 for a personalised, transparent quote.
