Orthodontics in Darien, IL

When teeth overlap or are too close together, it can make cleaning and flossing difficult, leading to plaque buildup and decay.

Spaces between teeth can cause aesthetic concerns and may also affect how your teeth function.

An overbite occurs when the upper teeth significantly overlap the lower teeth, potentially causing tooth wear or jaw discomfort.

In an underbite, the lower teeth extend beyond the upper teeth, leading to bite and speech problems.

A crossbite occurs when some upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth rather than outside, which can cause uneven wear and alignment issues.

An open bite is when the upper and lower teeth do not meet properly when the mouth is closed, often due to habits like thumb-sucking or tongue-thrusting.

Traditional metal braces are one of the most common and effective methods for straightening teeth. They consist of metal brackets bonded to the teeth and connected by a wire, which is adjusted over time to gently shift your teeth into the proper position. Today’s metal braces are more comfortable and discreet than ever before, making them a popular option for patients of all ages.

If you’re looking for a more discreet way to straighten your teeth, Invisalign may be the ideal solution. Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners that gradually shift your teeth into place. These aligners are virtually invisible and can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing, offering added convenience and comfort. Invisalign is a popular choice for both teens and adults who want to straighten their teeth without the appearance of traditional braces.

Lingual braces are another discreet option for orthodontic treatment. These braces are placed on the inside (lingual side) of your teeth, making them invisible from the outside. Lingual braces offer the same benefits as traditional braces without affecting your smile's appearance during treatment.
