Many parents think braces are only for teenagers, but did you know that jaw and teeth problems can be detected as early as age 6–7? This is when we start seeing signs of malocclusion or improper alignment of the teeth and jaws.
There are 3 major types of malocclusion:
Class I Malocclusion:
The bite is normal, but the teeth may be crowded, spaced, or rotated. This can be fixed with braces or space maintainers if caught early.
Class II Malocclusion (Overbite):
The upper teeth sit too far forward compared to the lower teeth. Often seen in children who thumb suck or have small lower jaws. Early treatment may include growth-modifying appliances to guide jaw development and reduce the need for future extractions or surgery.
😯 Class III Malocclusion (Underbite):
The lower teeth are too far forward, or the upper jaw is underdeveloped. This may require early orthopedic appliances to avoid long-term complications or jaw surgery in adulthood.
👶 Why Early Diagnosis Helps:
At Hexadent Clinic, Nerul, we perform early orthodontic assessments to identify such issues during your child’s growth phase. Starting treatment at the right time can reduce the severity, treatment time, and even avoid full braces later.
We recommend a preventive ortho check-up by age 7. It’s painless, quick, and could save your child from bigger treatments in the future. A confident smile starts with timely care. Let’s catch it early and correct it right!

Our Services
Clear aligners are transparent, removable trays that straighten teeth over time. They are a discreet alternative to traditional braces, offering comfort and convenience as they can be removed for eating and cleaning.
Braces are orthodontic devices used to correct misaligned teeth and jaws. They consist of brackets and wires that apply continuous pressure to move teeth into the desired position over time.
Crowns are caps placed over damaged teeth to restore their shape, size, and function. Bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to adjacent teeth or implants, providing a natural-looking and functional solution.
Growth modification is an orthodontic treatment aimed at correcting jaw discrepancies in growing children. It uses appliances to guide the growth of the jaw, ensuring proper alignment and bite.
Smile design involves a combination of cosmetic dental procedures to enhance the appearance of your smile. This can include veneers, crowns, teeth whitening, and orthodontics, tailored to achieve your desired look.
Root canal treatment is a procedure to save a severely infected or damaged tooth. It involves removing the infected pulp, cleaning the inside of the tooth, and sealing it to prevent further infection.
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of titanium that are surgically placed into the jawbone. They provide a strong foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth that match your natural teeth.
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic procedure that lightens the color of your teeth. It can be done in-office effectively removing stains and discoloration for a brighter smile.
Tooth fillings are used to restore cavities or damaged teeth. The decayed portion of the tooth is removed, and the area is filled with materials like composite resin, amalgam, or gold to restore its function and appearance.
Tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the bone. It is performed when a tooth is severely damaged, decayed, or causing crowding, and cannot be saved by other treatments.
