Types of Malocclusions
- Crowding: When there is insufficient space in the jaw for all the teeth, causing them to overlap or become crooked.
- Spacing: Excessive gaps or spaces between the teeth, which can affect the appearance and function of your smile.
- Deep Bite: When the upper front teeth excessively overlap the lower front teeth, leading to potential bite problems.
- Open Bite: A condition where the upper and lower teeth do not make proper contact when biting down, causing an opening or gap.
- Cross Bite: When the upper teeth fit inside the lower teeth when biting down, causing misalignment.
- Edge to Edge Bite: A condition where the upper and lower front teeth meet edge to edge, resulting in potential wear and bite issues.
- Proclined Upper Front Teeth (Class II Div 1): When the upper front teeth are inclined forward, creating an overjet or protrusion.
- Class II Div 2 Incisors: An uneven bite where the upper central incisors are pushed back or tilted inward.
- Posterior Cross Bite: When the upper teeth are positioned inside the lower teeth on one side of the mouth.
- Malocclusions induced by underlying periodontal compromised conditions: Dental misalignments caused or exacerbated by gum disease or other periodontal issues.

Types of Braces
- Metal Braces: Traditional metal braces are made of high-grade stainless steel brackets and wires, which are effective in correcting various orthodontic issues.
- Ceramic Braces: Ceramic braces are similar to metal braces but use tooth-colored or clear brackets, making them less noticeable.
- Lingual Braces: Lingual braces are placed on the back surface of the teeth, making them virtually invisible from the front. They are a discreet option for orthodontic treatment.
- Clear Aligners: Clear aligners, such as Invisalign, are a popular choice for orthodontic treatment. They are transparent, removable trays that gradually shift the teeth into proper alignment.
About Us
Dr. K.V.Sujan Kumar is one of the very few certified Invisalign Provider in the country. He is also trained in other aligner systems like:
- K-Line
- Smile Align
- Clearpath
- NovoAlign
- Tac Aligners
- Spark from ORMCO etc
Traditionally braces were used to treat malocclusion, but as more and more adults are seeking orthodontic treatment, they demand for faster treatment and aesthetic options have increased. To address these, aligners have made their way into orthodontics.
Clear aligners, also known as clear-aligner treatment, are orthodontic devices that are a transparent, plastic form of dental braces used to adjust teeth.

Procedure
Treatment begins with taking x-ray, photographs, an intraoral scan or a bite registration, and polyvinyl siloxane impressions of the person’s teeth and gums. The dentist/orthodontist completes a written evaluation that includes a diagnosis and treatment plan. Dental impressions are scanned in order to create a digital 3D representation of the teeth. Technicians move the teeth to the desired location with the program, which creates the stages between the current and desired teeth positions. The number of aligners depends on the case. Each aligner moves teeth .25 to .33 millimeters.
A computer graphic representation of the projected teeth movements, created in the software program ClinCheck, is provided to the doctor and patient for approval or modification before aligners are manufactured. The aligners are modeled using CAD-CAM (computer-aided-design and computer-aided-manufacturing) software and manufactured using a rapid prototyping technique called stereolithography. The molds for the aligners are built in layers using a photo-sensitive liquid resin that cures into a hard plastic when exposed to a laser.
The aligners are made from an elastic thermoplastic material that applies pressure to the teeth to move into the aligner’s position. Patients that need a tooth rotated or pulled down may have a small, tooth-colored composite attachment bonded onto certain teeth. More attachments can make the aligners less aesthetically pleasing. Reproximation, also called interproximal reduction or IPR, is sometimes used at the contacts between teeth to allow for a better fit.
Each aligner is intended to be worn an optimal 22 hours a day for two weeks. Treatment time varies based on the complexity of the planned teeth movements. The aligner is removed for brushing, flossing and eating. Once the treatment period has concluded, the patient is advised to continue wearing a retainer at night for the foreseeable future. Invisalign also provides their own retainers called as Vivera Retainers
Advantages of Aligners
- Esthetically pleasing.
- No diet restrictions as the patient can remove them while eating.
- Patient can remove them on socially important occasions.
- Hygienic as cleaning is easier
- Accurate
Disadvantages of Aligners
- Cost
- Patient compliance, as if the patient doesn’t wear, they don’t work.
- Lost aligner are chargeable

Conventional Labial Braces
They are conventional braces where the brackets are placed on the outer surfaces of the teeth. There are several types of labial braces available.
A. Ceramic Orthodontic Braces
Ceramic braces are extremely popular in the present scenario. As they are translucent, they blend in with your natural tooth colour, eliminating metallic look and embarrassment due to braces.
B. Metal Orthodontic Braces
Boring braces are classic but, passé. It’s time to grace yourself with colours on your teeth. The idea is to put the colour of your choice on the metal braces for a great look. Also, the results of this treatment are commendable.
C. Self-Ligating Braces
One of the most accepted and widely used brackets, Self- Litigating braces are the classic type of braces used for best results. At Sai Yashoda Dental Clinic, we specifically use the best of the brands in the dental industry- 3M, Damon, AO etc that minimizes lip and cheek irritation due to its reduced size and height along with the application of continuous gentle force.
Also, known as Invisible braces, Lingual braces is another revolution in the world of dentistry. Just as the name suggests, the braces are placed behind your teeth making them invisible to other people. Usually, lingual brackets are made of metal. This is a great solution for extremely self-conscious people and those with professions that demand good looks like acting, modelling etc

Sai Yashoda Dental Care is a reputed name in Orthodontics Growth Modification Treatment. Growth modification (early treatment) is part of the first phase of two-stage orthodontics treatment of children with malocclusion (poor bite). Growth modification is only possible when bones are still growing. Orthodontics Growth Modification Treatment is most effective during children’s growth spurts.
Orthodontists use growth modification devices (appliances) to change the position, shape, length, or width of the jawbone(s). Some common devices for the Growth Modification Treatment are:
- Headgear, an appliance that uses pressure to guide teeth and jaw growth
- Fixed functional appliances, an appliance attached to the upper and lower molars that corrects overbites caused by a small lower jaw
- Myo-functional appliances, removable appliance that guides teeth and jaw growth
- Palatal expansion, an appliance that corrects cross-bite by widening the upper jaw

First three days after application of braces
As your teeth begin to realign you may feel some discomfort. Wax can be placed on the braces to prevent them from rubbing against the inside of cheeks and lips. Our orthodontist will instruct you how to place wax on the braces.
After each orthodontic appointment you are likely to feel the same discomfort. Arch wires and elastic ligatures are changed periodically.
The discomfort with these braces is inconvenient, but it is manageable and it is only for few days.
Braces normally need to be adjusted every 4-6 weeks unless specified by the orthodontist or if any bracket gets loose or broken or detached.
Depending on the individual patient, and the severity of teeth alignment, the amount of time required varies, because response to the treatment is different in every case. The standard treatment time is about 18 months but in few circumstances may vary between 10-30 months.
- We at our practice suggest a separate brush for Orthodontic patients called as “ORTHO BRUSH” and Interdental brush for better maintenance of oral hygiene.
- Use toothpaste containing fluoride, and fluoride rinse if required to prevent cavities
- During the treatment period avoid sugary foods that increases the bacteria in the mouth which cause plaque and cavities
- Avoid foods which are sticky (chewing gum, caramel), hard foods (hard candy), and foods that struck in braces.
- When you remove the retainer, keep it safely in a container so that it is not lost or broken, brush your teeth and floss
- Your retainer has to be kept clean by brushing with a tooth paste and tooth brush. You can wash it in denture cleaner as your orthodontist suggests. Do not place the retainer in boiling water or dishwasher.
- After the completion of treatment also, visit dentist for every six months.
