Breathe Better. Sleep Better. Learn Better. Grow Better.

Dr. Srishti Mehta, founder of local Indigo Orthodontics, has been creating happy, confident smiles since 2007, most recently in Richmond. Two years ago they moved from their original Richmond location into a new state-of-the-art practice on Grand Parkway.

“For me, orthodontics was personal. I had a not-so-beautiful smile when growing up. I love orthodontics for the change it can make in people’s lives, not just aesthetically, but also for your health,” Dr. Mehta explains.

Early Intervention is Key
“What we do in orthodontics can influence facial and airway development at an early age,” Dr. Mehta stresses. “We can influence the development of the face, jaws, and airway, treating issues such as snoring, mouth breathing, and restless sleep. For the best results, your child’s first evaluation should be done by age seven, if not earlier. Help your kids breathe better, sleep better, learn better, and grow better.”

“We team up with local dentists, oral surgeons, speech pathologists, pulmonologists, sleep doctors, and ENTs to help identify the underlying problem in a collaborative environment,” she continues. “Every day, a parent thanks us for identifying the issue and taking the proper steps to repair it. Patients can experience decreased snoring, longer, more restful sleep, and even the reduction of ADHD medications.”

During the early evaluation, Dr. Mehta and her associate Dr. Angelica Herrera also look for dental crowding.

“The idea is to create enough space for adult teeth to come in naturally without pulling teeth. Sometimes the bite needs to be adjusted before a dentist completes crowns and other restorations,” Dr. Mehta explains. “Dr. Herrerra and I create the most appropriate treatment plan for each patient together. Patients can see either of us when they come in because we’ve both worked on the plan.”

We Understand Moms
With 30 women on their all-female team, Indigo Orthodontics can relate to the busy mom life. Each doctor has two daughters – Dr. Mehta’s are 16 and 12, while Dr. Herrera’s are 11 and 10. “Moms ‘get’ moms. Our own girls are involved in after-school activities, so we understand the time challenges moms face,” Dr. Mehta says. “We even have select Saturday appointment availability.“

A Beautiful Space for a Beautiful Smile
Indigo Orthodontics’ new space is impressive and comforting to patients. With a glass and wood exterior accented with dark brick, it’s the big, modern building that stands out among the other new buildings along the Grand Parkway. Inside you’ll find splashes of calming blue, punctuated by the colorful Indigo Orthodontics graffiti mural. “I’ve had people tell me they came to our office just because they saw how beautiful the building was when driving by! We create beautiful smiles in a beautiful space,” Dr. Mehta says.

The practice is in network with several insurance companies and no referrals are required. To request your complimentary Indigo Orthodontics consultation, visit www.indigoortho.com or call 281-201-2087.
