From early intervention to clear aligners and braces, we provide advanced orthodontic care for patients of all ages throughout Elmhurst, Forest Park, and the surrounding community. Our high-tech tools and personalized treatment plans make precision, comfort, and efficiency the standard, not the exception.

Damon™ System Braces
Forget rubber ties and unnecessary adjustments. We’re the only local provider of custom Damon braces, which offer a smaller, smoother, and smarter bracket. Available in metal or clear ceramic, each bracket is precision-placed to match your unique smile for better comfort and fewer visits.
It’s a proven, personalized approach that gets results fast, making treatment feel easier from day one.

Clear Aligners
Looking for a more convenient and discreet solution?
Our Spark™ and Invisalign® clear aligners offer a powerful, practically invisible way to straighten your smile without brackets or wires. Removable and lifestyle-friendly, they’re perfect for everything from dinner parties to brushing your teeth with ease.

Early Treatment
Our Growth Guidance Program is a no-cost early monitoring plan for children. Typically starting around age seven, this program offers regular check-ins, fun rewards, and expert insights to help catch potential issues early.
Our proactive, preventative, and 100% personalized approach can reduce the need for extractions and complex treatments down the road.

Retainers
We want to protect your smile long after your treatment is successfully completed!
That’s why we offer same-day, in-house Essix retainers along with fixed and Vivera® options. With expert guidance and optional retainer insurance, we’ll help you find the right fit to preserve your smile for years to come.

When it comes to your orthodontic care, we fine-tune the details to ensure every smile shines. From cosmetic enhancements to same-day repair appointments, our specialized services are designed with your comfort, confidence, and lifestyle in mind. It’s all part of our commitment to exceeding expectations.
Teeth Whitening
Looking to brighten your smile? We offer professional teeth whitening for powerful, long-lasting results. Whether you’re preparing for a special event or simply want to refresh your smile, our whitening options help enhance your smile’s overall appearance safely, comfortably, and quickly.
Gummy Smile Treatment and Laser Contouring
Our expert team offers advanced gum reshaping services to improve smile balance and aesthetics. Whether you’re looking to reduce excess gum tissue or perfect your smile line, our gentle, precise gingival laser technology makes it possible with minimal discomfort and lasting results.
TADs (Temporary Anchorage Devices)
As part of some braces treatments, we use TADs, which are tiny devices that provide extra control and precision in tooth movement. These minimally invasive tools allow us to treat complex cases more effectively, reducing treatment time and improving overall outcomes.
Emergency Repair Appointments
Orthodontic problems don’t always wait for business hours. That’s why we have a clinical specialist available outside of regular hours to help with urgent concerns like broken appliances or loose brackets. We’re here when you need us, because comfort and peace of mind matter.
