Orthodontics Specialist in Palm Beach Gardens FL

At KA Dental, we are committed to helping our patients achieve healthy, beautiful smiles through expert orthodontic care. Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry focused on aligning teeth and jaws to enhance both oral function and appearance.

Comprehensive Evaluation: Your orthodontic journey begins with a thorough evaluation by our experienced team. We use a combination of visual examinations, dental impressions, photographs, and advanced digital X-rays to assess your teeth, jaws, and facial structure. This comprehensive assessment allows us to identify specific issues such as crooked teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites, or crossbites, and to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Customized Treatment Options: Our practice offers a range of orthodontic solutions, including traditional braces and modern clear aligners. Braces involve attaching small brackets to the teeth connected by wires, which are periodically adjusted to gently guide your teeth into proper alignment. For those seeking a more discreet option, we provide custom-made clear aligners that fit comfortably over your teeth and are replaced every few weeks to achieve gradual alignment.

In certain situations, we may recommend additional devices such as expanders, elastics, or headgear to address specific jaw or bite concerns. Throughout your treatment, you’ll have regular follow-up appointments at KA Dental to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments, ensuring optimal results.

Long-Term Results and Oral Health: The length of orthodontic treatment varies, but most patients at KA Dental complete their treatment within one to three years. After your teeth are properly aligned, we provide custom retainers to help maintain your new smile and prevent shifting.

Orthodontic treatment at KA Dental goes beyond aesthetics—it also improves oral health by making it easier to clean your teeth, reducing your risk of cavities and gum disease, and promoting better jaw function.

Our experienced team specializes in orthodontics, a key branch of dentistry dedicated to diagnosing, preventing, and correcting misaligned teeth and jaws.

Comprehensive Orthodontic Care

One of the most common issues we treat is malocclusion, or improper alignment of the teeth when the jaws are closed. Whether you’re dealing with an overbite (where the upper front teeth significantly overlap the lower teeth), an underbite (where lower teeth protrude past the upper teeth), crossbite (when some upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth), or an open bite (when upper and lower teeth don’t meet when the mouth is closed), our orthodontic solutions are tailored to your needs.

Addressing Crowding and Spacing

Crowded teeth, where there isn’t enough space in the jaw for all teeth to fit properly, can lead to overlapping or crooked teeth. Conversely, spacing issues—like gaps caused by missing teeth or teeth that are too small for the jaw—can also affect your smile and oral health. At KA Dental, we utilize the latest orthodontic techniques and technologies to resolve these concerns, restoring both function and aesthetics.

Supporting Jaw Health and Function

Our team also corrects jaw irregularities that can impact chewing, speech, and overall oral health. For patients experiencing temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, often related to bite problems, we provide comprehensive evaluation and targeted treatments to relieve discomfort and improve jaw function.

Early Intervention for Lifelong Benefits

We encourage parents to bring their children in for early orthodontic assessments. Early intervention can guide proper jaw growth, helping to prevent more serious complications and ensuring a healthy, confident smile as your child grows.

Orthodontic treatment can significantly enhance both dental health and appearance, it’s important to understand that it may not be suitable for everyone.

Before beginning orthodontic care, we carefully evaluate your oral health. Patients with active gum disease or untreated dental decay must first address these issues, as moving teeth in an unhealthy mouth can worsen existing conditions. 

Good oral hygiene is essential for successful orthodontic outcomes. Braces and aligners require extra attention to cleaning, so patients with poor oral hygiene habits may need additional support and education from our team before starting treatment.

Certain medical conditions can also impact your eligibility for orthodontics. Conditions such as uncontrolled diabetes, severe immune system disorders, or specific bone diseases may increase your risk of complications. Likewise, patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy for cancer may need to postpone orthodontic care until their medical treatment is completed.

We also take age and jaw development into account. For children whose jaws and teeth are still growing, we may recommend waiting or using specialized appliances. For adults with significant bone loss in the jaw, additional evaluation may be necessary to ensure there is enough support for safe tooth movement.

Orthodontics involves a variety of methods and procedures designed to correct misaligned teeth and jaws, enhance oral function, and improve the overall appearance of your smile.

Our practice offers traditional braces—crafted from high-quality metal, ceramic, or clear materials—that are carefully adjusted over time to guide teeth into their ideal positions. For patients seeking a more discreet option, KA Dental also provides clear aligner therapy, such as Invisalign®, utilizing a series of custom-made, nearly invisible trays that gently shift your teeth.

In addition, our experienced team can recommend specialized orthodontic appliances, including palatal expanders to widen the upper jaw or space maintainers to ensure proper spacing for permanent teeth. For more complex bite issues, we may suggest headgear or other devices to guide jaw growth and tooth alignment.

After active treatment, we offer retainers tailored to each patient, ensuring your new smile is maintained for years to come. In select complex cases, our practice coordinates surgical orthodontic solutions—known as orthognathic surgery—in conjunction with braces or aligners to address severe jaw discrepancies.

At KA Dental, your beautiful, straight smile is the priority of our leading specialists, Dr. Aditi Patel, BDS, DDS, and Dr. Krunal Patel, BDS, DDS, FICOI.
