Specialist Orthodontist
Philosophy
Dr Bal has a passion and modern approach for early management of paediatric (children’s) malocclusion and provides “interceptive” treatment, which are dental procedures recommended for children ages between 7 to 10 years old. Dr Bal believes that early orthodontic treatment is important if the child’s bite is not right and is in the child’s best interest if planned and implemented at the right dental developmental stage. Use of aligners allows treatment of children without brackets and wires is comfortable, affordable and allows children and teenagers to gain confidence in their smile.
