Indigo Welcomes a New Orthodontist to the Family

Did you know orthodontics can influence facial and airway development at an early age?

Dr. Srishti Mehta, founder of local Indigo Orthodontics, and her partner, Dr. Angelica Herrera, handle all of the regular things orthodontists do, like aligning bites and straightening teeth by using braces, clear aligners, and retainers. But the practice also has a special interest in treatment of sleep and airway health.

“As orthodontists, we can influence the development of the face, jaws and airway, improving issues such as snoring, mouth breathing, and restless sleep,” Dr. Mehta explains.

A busy practice, Indigo Orthodontics was looking for a third orthodontist to join the team. Previously practicing independently in Indiana, Dr. Mohammad Eyad Albaba also has a passion for airway-focused orthodontics.

“I know Dr. Mehta is a leader in the field, so I reached out and learned they were looking for another orthodontist to join their team,” Dr. Albaba says. “I was looking for a busy practice with multiple doctors and diverse cases. And it’s been phenomenal here, learning from the doctors who are both great mentors.”

With three orthodontists on staff, the team is able to treat more patients than ever. “Having Dr. Albaba on board has enhanced our ability to get neighbors in our community the care they need in terms of both smiles and airway health,” Dr. Mehta says. “He is the perfect fit for our office. He came in with a strong interest and expertise in early orthodontic intervention and training in dental sleep medicine. He brings a fresh perspective with a remarkable ability to relate to and work with both children and adults. We’re thrilled to have him on our team.”

The three orthodontists work together to treat all ages, encouraging early interceptive treatment with a child’s first orthodontist visit at age seven. “Identifying issues in younger growing children, much before all the baby teeth come in, can be tremendously beneficial,” Dr. Mehta explains. “A common myth is to wait until all baby teeth fall out to get an orthodontic evaluation … often, the solutions are better when caught and treated earlier.”

With around 30 team members, the orthodontists at Indigo Orthodontics credit their strong and reliable team with contributing to the success of the practice.

“With such a dedicated team, operations run smoothly and our patients feel the appreciation and consideration conveyed by the staff every day,” Dr. Mehta says. “We just want to help create happy, confident smiles for everyone who walks through our doors.”

Dr. Mehta and her team have been creating happy, confident smiles for almost a decade. To request your complimentary Indigo Orthodontics consultation at the state-of-the-art practice on Grand Parkway, visit indigoortho.com or call 281-201-2087. No referrals are required.
