ORTHODONTICS

Straightening teeth with precision, planning, and a focus on long-term function and aesthetics.

WHY STRAIGHT TEETH MATTER

More than aesthetics. Better function and long-term health.

Orthodontic treatment is often associated with improving the appearance of your smile, but properly aligned teeth offer additional benefits.

When teeth are positioned correctly, they function more efficiently within your bite, distribute forces more evenly, and are easier to clean. This supports long-term gum health and helps reduce the risk of wear, inflammation, and future dental complications.

Orthodontics is not simply cosmetic. It is a structural investment in both form and function.

CLEAR ALIGNER THERAPY

A discreet, controlled approach to straightening teeth

Clear aligners offer a modern alternative to traditional braces, using a series of custom-designed trays to gradually guide teeth into their ideal position.
These aligners are:

  • Nearly invisible
  • Removable for eating and hygiene
  • Designed for comfort and precision

Treatment is planned in advance, allowing for a predictable and controlled progression.

A CUSTOMIZED APPROACH

Treatment designed specifically for your anatomy and goals

No two smiles are the same. Orthodontic treatment at Jivan Dental is developed based on your individual tooth positioning, bite relationship, and long-term goals.

Dr. Mitesh Jivan evaluates each case carefully to determine the most effective movement strategy, ensuring both aesthetic improvement and functional stability.

Straightening Teeth Starts with a Clear Plan

Every orthodontic case begins with a detailed evaluation and a personalized treatment approach.

DIGITAL PLANNING AND PREDICTABILITY

See the process before it begins

Advanced digital planning allows us to simulate tooth movement and visualize the expected outcome before treatment starts.

This provides clarity around:

  • The direction of movement
  • The sequence of aligners
  • Estimated treatment time

This level of planning improves predictability and helps ensure a more controlled result.

THE IMPORTANCE OF A BALANCED BITE

Alignment that supports long-term stability

Straight teeth alone are not enough. A properly aligned bite ensures that forces are distributed evenly, reducing strain on teeth, muscles, and joints.

Orthodontic treatment is designed to improve both alignment and bite function, supporting long-term comfort and durability.

GUM HEALTH AND HYGIENE

Alignment that makes maintenance easier

Crowded or misaligned teeth create areas that are difficult to clean, increasing the risk of plaque buildup, inflammation, and gum disease.

When teeth are properly aligned, daily hygiene becomes more effective. Natural cleansing from the tongue and cheeks also improves, supporting healthier gum tissue over time.

RETAINERS AND LONG-TERM MAINTENANCE

Protecting your results over time

Retainers are essential to maintaining the results of orthodontic treatment.

Options may include:

  • Removable retainers for flexibility and ease of cleaning
  • Fixed retainers for continuous support without daily removal

Each option is selected based on your needs to ensure long-term stability and prevent shifting.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Treatment time varies depending on the complexity of the case. Many patients complete treatment within several months to a couple of years.

For many cases, clear aligners are highly effective. During your consultation, we determine whether they are the right option for your specific needs.

Mild pressure is expected as teeth shift, but most patients find aligners to be comfortable and easy to adapt to.

For best results, aligners are typically worn most of the day and removed only for eating and oral hygiene.

Retainers are used to maintain alignment and prevent teeth from shifting over time.

The first step is a consultation. We evaluate your smile, discuss your goals, and develop a personalized treatment plan.
