About Dr. Shashank Trivedi
Dr. Shashank Trivedi heads the orthodontic department at Chetna Dental Centre. His practice is built around a non-extraction philosophy: rather than removing four healthy premolars to create space, he develops the arch to the width it should have reached, using passive self-ligating mechanics.
He is an official provider of both the Damon and Pitts21 self-ligating systems and serves as a Key Opinion Leader for Pitts21 in India. He is also a certified Invisalign provider, and treats a significant number of adult patients who want correction without visible appliances.
His clinical interests include non-extraction orthodontics, passive self-ligation, functional jaw orthopaedics for growing children, accelerated orthodontics and adult orthodontic treatment.
