Orthodontic treatment is the ideal way to correct teeth that are crowded or not in the proper alignment in the jaws. Crowded teeth are difficult to clean. Your ability to chew, smile and speak may be impacted by crowded teeth. Misaligned teeth and crowded teeth put you at a higher risk of tooth damage and decay. We can fix a variety of malocclusion and other problems with carefully planned orthodontic care performed by our orthodontist near Hinsdale.
Many people come to us after getting a referral from their primary dentist. In our orthodontist practice, we start treatment for children as young as seven years old. We may choose to use a palate expander to make more room for your child’s permanent teeth if it is clear that the child’s teeth will not have enough room. Doing this at a young age while the jaws are still growing makes the second round of treatment more successful and less intense when your child is older and has most or all of their permanent teeth.
We also care for patients who do not need treatment at such young ages. Many people come to us as pre-teens or teenagers. We offer traditional metal braces as well as ceramic braces and Invisalign. Our orthodontics practice also cares for adults. Any adult can have their teeth corrected. If you had braces years ago, you might need them again.
