Orthodontic Solutions in Lake Forest, IL
Orthodontics is the process of straightening and aligning teeth, correcting the bite, and closing gaps between teeth. While a straight and properly aligned smile can boost your confidence in your smile, it can also protect your teeth from higher risk of infection due to gaps, chipping or grinding because of misalignment, and even help prevent issues like jaw pain due to TMD/TMJ disorder.
We understand the importance of finding orthodontic solutions that are comfortable, effective, and tailored to your unique needs. After all, confident smiles are for individuals of all ages, so it’s important to us that we offer a solution that works for you and yours.
Traditional Orthodontics
Our traditional orthodontic option involves the use of bracket and wire braces, which are highly effective for addressing severe misalignments. Through carefully planned adjustments, these braces apply gentle pressure on the teeth, gradually shifting them into proper alignment.
The typical treatment duration spans 18–24 months, during which patients some in for frequent orthodontic appointments to monitor progress and make necessary adjustments. This proven method ensures optimal results in achieving a straighter, healthier smile.
Invisalign®
The Invisalign orthodontic system offers a discreet and convenient alternative to traditional braces. Utilizing clear, removable aligners, this approach allows for gradual teeth straightening without the noticeable appearance of brackets and wires.
Invisalign aligners are worn for approximately a year, providing effective results. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign brings the added benefit of minimal impact on one’s diet and oral hygiene routine. This innovative system empowers patients to achieve a beautifully aligned smile with greater comfort and flexibility.
The Right Choice for You
Our team understands that each patient is unique, and their orthodontic journey should reflect that. Whether you opt for the discreet Invisalign system or the effectiveness of traditional braces, our goal remains the same—to provide you with a comfortable and efficient orthodontic experience.
