About Dr. Dr. K A Mohan

Dr. K A Mohan is a Dentist and Orthodontist with over 57 years of clinical experience, including 49 years as an orthodontic specialist. He completed his BDS from Govt. Dental College and Research Institute, Bangalore in 1969 and his MDS in Orthodontics & Dentofacial Orthopaedics from the same institution in 1977 — placing him among the earliest trained orthodontic specialists in Karnataka.

He practices at Dental DeCare clinics in Indiranagar and Koramangala, two of Bangalore's most established dental practices. His specialisation covers full-arch orthodontic correction, complex bite problems, and dentofacial orthopaedics — including cases involving skeletal discrepancies that require a combined orthodontic and surgical approach.

Dr. Mohan is a member of the Karnataka State Dental Council, the Indian Orthodontic Society, and the Indian Dental Association. His decades of practice span the full evolution of orthodontic treatment — from traditional metal brackets to contemporary self-ligating systems.

Two other orthodontists said my crossbite needed surgery. Dr. Mohan corrected it with braces alone over 24 months. Outstanding result — no surgery, no drama.

Capcane's Assessment: Dr. K A Mohan

Dr. Mohan is one of the most experienced practising orthodontists in Bangalore. With 49 years of specialist experience, he has managed cases across all complexity levels — including skeletal discrepancies, severe crowding, and cases that other clinics recommend for surgery. His approach is conservative and evidence-based. For patients with complex bite issues who want a second opinion before committing to surgical orthodontics, Dr. Mohan's level of clinical experience is genuinely rare in the city.

Good for

  • Complex adult bite correction — crossbite, deep bite, open bite
  • Cases where you've been told surgery is required and want a conservative second opinion
  • Patients who want decades of specialist experience over a newer practitioner
  • Comprehensive orthodontic planning with dentofacial orthopaedics

Keep in mind

  • High demand — expect a 2–3 week wait for a new patient appointment
  • Clinic facilities are established but not newly fitted — not the flashiest environment
  • Specialises in fixed appliances; may not be the first choice for aligner-only cases
  • Limited Saturday availability — confirm before booking
