Profile Details

Advanced Orthodontic Care & Patient-Centered Treatment

Dr. Anushka combines conventional orthodontic expertise with newer treatment technologies, including clear aligners, Invisalign, orthodontic mini-implants, and self-ligating brackets. She evaluates each patient's dental and skeletal development before recommending an appropriate treatment approach.

Her philosophy emphasizes early diagnosis, especially in growing children, as timely orthodontic evaluation can help identify developing malocclusions and determine whether interceptive treatment may be beneficial.

Extensive Clinical Experience in Orthodontics

With 6 years of clinical experience, Dr. Anushka has managed a broad range of orthodontic cases, from routine tooth alignment to complex skeletal and developmental conditions.

Her clinical experience includes both extraction and non-extraction orthodontic treatment, different fixed-appliance systems, clear aligners, management of growing patients, and treatment planning for complex malocclusions.

She has also been involved in the management of cleft lip and palate cases and complex Class III skeletal malocclusions that may require multidisciplinary treatment, including orthognathic surgery where clinically indicated.

Dr. Anushka's Clinical Expertise & Orthodontic Specializations

Braces & Fixed Orthodontics – Dr. Anushka provides comprehensive orthodontic treatment using different fixed appliance systems according to the patient's dental condition, treatment goals, and clinical requirements.

Clear Aligners & Invisalign – As an Invisalign-certified orthodontist, she provides clear-aligner treatment for suitable cases. Treatment planning considers tooth movement, bite relationships, dental health, and the patient's individual orthodontic needs.

Self-Ligating Brackets – Her expertise includes self-ligating bracket systems, which can be considered as part of an individualized orthodontic treatment plan depending on the case.

Interceptive Orthodontics – Dr. Anushka has a particular interest in early orthodontic assessment and interceptive treatment. She believes monitoring children's dental development from around 8 years of age can help identify certain developing alignment and bite problems at an appropriate stage.

Crowding & Malocclusion Management – She treats orthodontic problems involving crowding, spacing, irregular tooth positions, and different types of malocclusion through personalized treatment planning.

Orthodontic Mini-Implants – Her training includes the use of orthodontic mini-implants and bone screws as anchorage options for selected cases where additional control of tooth movement is clinically required.

Cleft Lip & Palate Management – Dr. Anushka has experience in managing orthodontic aspects of cleft lip and palate cases as part of comprehensive and multidisciplinary care.

Skeletal & Complex Orthodontic Cases – Her clinical experience includes management of Class III skeletal malocclusions, including cases where orthodontic treatment may need to be coordinated with orthognathic surgery.

Patient-Centered Orthodontic Treatment Planning

Dr. Anushka follows a personalized orthodontic approach based on each patient’s age, dental development, bite, facial growth, alignment, and treatment goals. She emphasizes early assessment for children and carefully selects between braces, clear aligners, and other orthodontic options for teenagers and adults. Her focus is on clear communication, appropriate treatment planning, and achieving healthy, functional, and confident smiles. 

Philosophy as an Orthodontist

For Dr. Anushka, orthodontics is about more than simply straightening teeth. It is about improving tooth alignment, bite function, facial balance, oral health, and long-term stability.

She believes early evaluation can play an important role in children's orthodontic development, while modern treatment options such as clear aligners, self-ligating brackets, and orthodontic mini-implants can provide additional solutions for appropriately selected cases.

Her philosophy is to combine sound orthodontic diagnosis, modern treatment techniques, evidence-based planning, and individualized patient care to achieve healthy and confident smiles.

Continuing Professional Commitment

Dr. Anushka continues to expand her orthodontic knowledge through clinical practice, research, conferences, CDE programs, workshops, and professional education.

Her goal is to combine conventional orthodontic principles with modern technologies such as clear aligners, Invisalign, self-ligating brackets, mini-implants, and digital orthodontic workflows to provide personalized treatment solutions for children, teenagers, and adults with a wide range of alignment and bite concerns.
