Guiding growing smiles.
Treatments are carefully designed to work alongside your child’s natural growth and development. Using removable appliances or braces, gentle, controlled pressure guides teeth into their ideal positions while supporting healthy jaw growth. This approach helps avoid unnecessary discomfort and ensures that treatment progresses safely and effectively.
Advanced digital scans and detailed treatment planning allow Dr Maha to map out each stage precisely, so every adjustment is predictable and tailored to your child’s needs. Regular monitoring through in-person appointments or digital check-ins ensures progress stays on track, allowing timely refinements and helping achieve long-lasting, healthy results.
