Invisalign in Orland Park
Orthodontic Treatment
Orthodontic Treatment can improve your appearance, self-esteem, and even your health. Studies have shown that people who have had orthodontic treatment are considered better looking, project a better image, and feel better about themselves. Most people don't know that these people usually have a lower risk of cardiovascular disease! Straighter teeth allow improved oral hygiene to help avoid periodontal (gum) infection.

Teeth may be straightened by traditional BRACES, CLEAR BRACES, or INVISALIGN'S clear aligners. We will be happy to meet you for a free consultation to discuss which options are appropriate for you. We will provide the facts you need to make an informed decision about which is best for you.
Braces
BRACES are no longer just for kids. More and more adults are choosing this method for creating a beautiful, healthy smile. Today's less n
oticeable braces along with quicker new techniques and space-age materials have made them the choice of many adults. Modern braces are small, smooth, and much more comfortable than the bulky braces of 30 years ago. They are available with either metal or clear ceramic brackets. Clear brackets are less visible than metal brackets so they can be a good option for those who would be self-conscious with metal brackets.
Braces can even take on a rainbow of colors depending upon the colors of the elastics used to attach the wire to the brackets. These colors are changed each month, allowing you to make an ever-changing fashion statement based on your favorite sports team, the next holiday, the season, or even your mood. You can always choose colors that blend, silver for metal brackets or clear for clear brackets. Its great to have choices!
Invisalign
INVISALIGN consists of a series of clear aligners. Each one is worn for about two weeks before progressing to the next, slightly straighter aligner. This gradually shifts your teeth toward their final, straight position. The aligners are worn all the time except: 1. They are removed when eating so you can still eat whatever you want (unlike braces) and 2. They are removed when brushing and flossing - making it easy to keep your teeth clean. These benefits, combined with the aligners being almost invisible plus treatment time usually being quicker than braces, have made invisalign a popular choice for our patients.
