What is Orthotropics??
Orthotropics is a form of Dentofacial Orthopaedics that is based on early treatment. It works by guiding and developing the growth of the muscles, teeth and bone into the ideal shape and their relationship with each other in a “non-surgical, non-extraction” way, creating stable bites using postural changes. This treatment focuses on creating space to accommodate all the adult teeth, alleviate crowding and produce a more balanced facial profile.
Orthotropic treatment not only creates a full profile and a wide natural smile, a more open airway (addressing breathing problems such as asthma, mouth breathing, snoring and sleep apnoea) but also promotes the healthy positioning of the jaw joints (TMJs).

Through a holistic approach to dentistry, We try viewing each child as a whole rather than a single symptom to be treated. This is just one of many procedures we perform when coming up with any diagnosis. Your child's health deserves proper care and attention and we are able to provide. Please contact us today to schedule an appointment.
Why Early orthodontics??
Early orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics focuses on proper growth and development, straightening teeth and training facial muscles before permanent teeth are set thereby bringing balance and facial symmetry. By using early orthodontics our goal is to maintain or provide space for permanent teeth so they grow in straight. This minimises the need for more extensive and painful intervention later.
We believe from 6 -7 years of age is a great time to assess if your child would benefit from Orthotropic treatment.
Our Background
YOUR SMILE ....OUR FOCUS !!!
Dr Ruchika Sachdev has been practising dentistry for over 20 yrs with many years in orthotropics, orthodontics and advanced complex dentistry. She has a special interest in Orthotropics care for Children. At Christchurch Orthotropics at Smilesville we believe facial, dental and skeletal disharmony can relate to several medical issues. Our primary aim is to look at the face, teeth and jaws holistically both with respect to aesthetics and functionality to achieve overall health and well-being and looks. This is done by finding the underlying cause of your malocclusion and provide treatment accordingly.
Only three dentists in New Zealand are trained in this groundbreaking technique, with one being Ruchika.

Very happy with the good care taken of my children during their orthodontics. Some nervous moments as the treatment involved an 'ugly duckling' phase but as a result they have fabulous smiles and we are all very pleased. Rusheka is very patient with people and accommodating and I recommend coming when your children are as young as 8 to be able to take advantage of the most options for their treatment.
