Who We Treat

At Gowda Orthodontics i Davenport, FL, we believe that a healthy, confident smile is for everyone, whether you’re a child, teen, or adult. We offer tailored treatment plans that address your unique needs and lifestyle. Whether you’re exploring early orthodontic care for your child or considering treatment for yourself, we’re here to help you achieve the best possible results.

Early orthodontic evaluations help guide your child’s jaw growth, create enough space for incoming teeth, and prevent minor issues from turning into bigger problems down the line. During these evaluations, we’ll check for signs of crowding, bite imbalances (like crossbites), any eruption concerns, and habits like thumb-sucking that could affect development.

Depending on what we find, we may recommend periodic check-ins to monitor growth. We could also suggest space-maintaining appliances, expanders, or even limited braces to help set the foundation for easier treatment later. Our goal is to provide treatment only when it’s truly needed, and we always ensure the process is stress-free with kid-friendly records (like photos and digital scans) and a conservative approach.

The teenage years are the perfect time to address alignment issues, as growth is still active and teeth are more responsive to treatment. During this phase, we offer several options for braces: low-profile metal braces, clear (ceramic) braces, or clear aligners like Invisalign®, Angel Aligners™, and Spark™.

Teens can continue their activities while undergoing treatment. For sports, we recommend wearing a mouthguard to protect the braces, and wax can help with any initial discomfort. Clear aligners are nearly invisible and should be worn for 20–22 hours a day, while braces work around the clock to straighten teeth with just a few minor hygiene adjustments.

The typical treatment time for teens is between 12–24 months, and we keep appointments short and efficient, ensuring progress stays on track while respecting your busy schedule.

It’s never too late to invest in your smile. Many adults seek orthodontic treatment to improve oral health, comfort, and aesthetics. Braces and aligners can help with easier hygiene, prevent wear and chipping of teeth, and improve bite comfort. For those who need spacing adjustments for restorative work (like crowns or veneers), orthodontics can align your teeth to prepare for those procedures.

We offer several discreet options for adults, including clear aligners for a flexible, almost invisible treatment, clear braces for a subtle option, or metal braces for precision and value. If you’ve had braces before but have experienced some shifting over time, we can provide retreatment for relapse correction and use durable retainers to keep your smile stable for the long term.

At Gowda Orthodontics, we ensure the treatment is right for you, no matter your age or stage of treatment:

• Digital scans, not goop. Quick iTero™ scanning creates precise 3D models for planning braces, aligners, and retainers.
  
• Thoughtful imaging. We recommend panoramic/CBCT imaging only when it adds meaningful diagnostic value (e.g., impacted teeth, airway, complex bites).
  
• Comfort & efficiency. Gentle techniques, streamlined visits, and clear at-home guidance keep treatment moving without stress.
• Conservative approach. We match the plan to your goals and biology. No more, no less than you need.
