Treatment philosophy
Dr. Narula believes that every smile is completely unique. She customizes each patient’s treatment plan, so their smile fits them perfectly. Part of her focus on customization is early intervention.
Dr. Narula recommends that children be seen by an orthodontist by the age of 7 years old. This young age allows her to address problems as they arise, so kids’ smiles can grow with them.
Early intervention prevents the need for extraction, something Dr. Narula tries to avoid whenever possible. This emphasis on making space and preventing extraction allows for fuller, more beautiful smiles.
