“What we do in orthodontics can influence facial and airway development at an early age. For the best results, your child’s first evaluation should be done by age seven, if not earlier,” explains Dr. Srishti Mehta, founder of local Indigo Orthodontics. “We can influence the development of the face, jaw, and airway, improving issues such as snoring, mouth breathing, and restless sleep.”
 
During the early evaluation, Dr. Mehta and her partner, Dr. Angelica Herrera, also look for dental crowding. “The idea is to create enough space for adult teeth to come in naturally without needing teeth removed. Sometimes your dentist needs bite and teeth adjustments before crowns and other work,” Dr. Mehta says. “Dr. Herrera 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.”
 
With the practice’s 30 team members being mostly women, Indigo Orthodontics can relate to busy mom life! Each doctor has two daughters of their own. “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.”
 
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. “Our team is as committed to the patients as Dr. Herrera and I are. We just want to help create happy, confident smiles for everyone who walks through our doors.”
 
“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 concludes.
 
Dr. Mehta and her team have been creating happy, confident smiles since 2017. To request your complimentary Indigo Orthodontics consultation at the state-of-the-art practice on Grand Parkway, visit www.indigoortho.com or call 281-201-2087. No referrals are required.
