About Dr Shankar Bala
With over 12 years of experience in dentistry and more than a decade dedicated solely to orthodontics, I provide expert care across all types of treatments—fixed braces, aligners, lingual braces, functional appliances, and early interceptive orthodontics. Whether it’s a straightforward case or a complex, multidisciplinary treatment, my focus is always on achieving the best results for my patients. I believe orthodontic treatment should be a collaboration. I always ask my patients about their dream smile and work closely with them to make it a reality. It’s never just about what I think is best—it’s about ensuring they feel confident and happy every step of the way. My patients often describe me as down-to-earth, approachable, and relaxed, which helps make the treatment journey as stress-free as possible. I take pride in being detail-oriented and patient-focused, making sure everyone feels supported—not just at the end of treatment, but throughout the entire process. I genuinely love what I do. Orthodontics allows me to combine my passion for working with people with the precision and mechanics of tooth movement. I also believe in being available for my patients, which is why I provide my contact details so they can reach out with any questions or concerns before, during, and after treatment. If you’re considering orthodontic treatment, I’d love to help guide you toward the smile you’ve always wanted
