Orthodontics

Orthodontics comes from two Greek words. . ."orthos" meaning right or correct, and "dons" meaning tooth. With modern orthodontics, we can move teeth into the proper positions and give patients healthy, straight teeth. Many people believe only children need orthodontic treatment, but adults can enjoy all the benefits of straight teeth as well.

Our orthodontists can successfully realign crooked teeth or a protruding overbite regardless of your age. Treatment, or orthodontic correction, can vary from the relatively simple closing of gaps in a few months, to the total realignment of rotated, impacted, or otherwise imperfect teeth. We offer traditional braces, ceramic braces, and Invisalign clear braces depending on the patient’s age and unique circumstances.

One of the latest treatment innovations, Invisalign clear braces allow our adult patients to straighten their smiles without compromising their professional image. The Invisalign system uses a series of clear, custom aligners to shift teeth into the proper position. We will take 3-D images of your mouth to generate your set of aligners. You will wear each aligner for about two weeks and then move on to the next one in the series. Many patients achieve results in just 12 to 18 months, and because the Invisalign aligners are removable, you can remove them for brushing, eating, and on special occasions.

Healthy smiles for the entire family. Call today and make an appointment to discuss the benefits of orthodontics. With three convenient locations, we serve residents of Aurora, Franklin Park, and Channahon.
