Dr. P. Venkat Ratna Nag handles many of TDS's most complex second-opinion Invisalign cases. Here are three real (anonymised) patient stories from his caseload.
As Clinical Head, Dr. P. Venkat Ratna Nag handles many of our most complex Invisalign cases — often patients who were told elsewhere that their case was 'too difficult for aligners'. Here are three real, anonymised patient journeys from his caseload at the Banjara Hills clinic.
Case 1: The 'Needs Jaw Surgery' Overbite
A 34-year-old Jubilee Hills executive was told by two other clinics that his significant overbite required combined jaw surgery. After a detailed iTero scan and ClinCheck staging, Dr. Venkat Nag determined the case was primarily dental, not skeletal, and treated it fully with Invisalign Comprehensive over 18 months — no surgery required.
Case 2: Severe Crowding After Years of Avoidance
A 41-year-old patient had avoided orthodontic treatment for two decades due to severe crowding, assuming only braces could help. Using precision attachments and staged interproximal reduction, Dr. Venkat Nag achieved full alignment with Invisalign Comprehensive in 20 months.
Case 3: Post-Implant Bite Reconstruction
Combining his prosthodontic and implant expertise, Dr. Venkat Nag treated a patient needing both dental implants and orthodontic alignment, sequencing Invisalign treatment before implant placement to ensure optimal spacing and bite function.
