“Don’t believe everything you hear,” says Dr. Srishti Mehta, founder of Indigo Orthodontics in Richmond. “There’s a lot of misinformation out there about starting treatment in orthodontics. At Indigo Orthodontics, we want to be sure our patients and their families are well-informed to create the best smiles in the best and fastest way.”
 
Gone are the days of waiting until middle school to be assessed by an orthodontist. The American Association of Orthodontics recommends that children have their first orthodontics screening by age seven. “Early intervention is key,” Dr. Mehta says. “If treatment is identified and started early, it can reduce the need for extractions or prevent impacted teeth. Contrary to what patients may have been told in the past, starting treatment while the patient is still growing can shorten treatment times and yield faster results. Sometimes, younger patients can spend a short time in early braces to correct larger problems later.”
 
Dr. Mehta and her partner, Dr. Angelica Herrera, are both highly-skilled professionals with years of experience creating treatment plans together. “Not every patient will need early treatment. The consultation will offer peace of mind for parents either way,” Dr. Mehta explains.
