Parents in Ranip often notice something about their child's teeth before a dentist does: front teeth that stick out, a lower jaw that sits forward, or new teeth coming in crooked behind baby teeth. These are good reasons for an early orthodontic check. At Kkeswani Dental & Polyclinic, Dr. Tanisha Kkeswani, an MDS orthodontist, looks at how a child's teeth and jaws are developing and whether anything needs attention.
An early check, often around the age of seven, does not mean braces straight away. Most children only need monitoring. The aim is to spot problems that are easier to guide while the jaw is still growing, such as a crossbite, a narrow upper jaw or habits like thumb sucking that push teeth out of place. Families from Ranip leave with a clear idea of whether to act now or wait.
Children are seen in our kids consultation room, which is calmer and less clinical than a regular dental chair area. The child sits with a parent while the teeth are checked, and X-rays are taken only where needed. If treatment is advised later, our braces page explains the options. Parents can also book the polyclinic pediatrician for general health checks on the same trip.
If your child's teeth look crowded or stick out, or the bite seems off, book an early orthodontic check. Call +91-990-964-4344 from Ranip to find a suitable time for you and your child.

A specialist looks at growth, not only teeth. Dr. Tanisha Kkeswani holds an MDS in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopaedics, which covers how the face and jaws grow. For Ranip children, this means the check considers the whole bite and jaw pattern, not just whether one tooth looks out of line.
Watching is often the right first step. We do not start treatment just because a child is young. Many early bite concerns settle on their own as adult teeth come in. When they do not, we explain what could help and when. Parents get honest guidance about timing, so treatment starts at the most useful moment.
A calm setting for younger patients. A first visit to the orthodontist can make children nervous. We talk to them in simple words and show them what we are doing. Ranip parents who make the drive down the SG Highway can also combine the check with a pediatric or dental visit for siblings.
Our clinic is a short drive from the landmarks you already know in Ranip.
