Orthodontic Services We Provide in Elmhurst, IL
At Advanced Orthodontic Specialists, we offer a full range of orthodontic services designed to meet the unique needs of children, teens, and adults. From advanced Damon™ braces and clear aligners to early treatment, retainers, and specialized care, our Elmhurst team combines modern technology with personalized attention to create confident, healthy smiles that last a lifetime.
Braces
Our orthodontic specialists in Elmhurst offer advanced Damon™ braces in both metal and clear options. These are self-ligating braces that use gentle, low-force technology for greater comfort, fewer office visits, and natural smile development without extractions or expanders in most cases.
Clear Aligners
If you’re not sold on braces, our Elmhurst office also provides both Invisalign® and Spark™ clear aligners, which are discreet and effective braces alternatives for children, teens, and adults. With advanced digital scanning, we ensure a precise fit and a smooth, positive treatment journey.
Early Treatment
We offer two-phase early treatment for children who have crowding, spacing, and bite issues. The American Association of Orthodontics recommends that every child see an orthodontist by age 7.
If your child doesn’t need orthodontic treatment yet, our Growth Guidance Program helps identify orthodontic concerns early and provides families with peace of mind. This 100% free program includes regular check-ins, advanced imaging, and fun rewards for kids.
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.
Specialized Orthodontic Services in Elmhurst
We go above and beyond the standard range of orthodontic services to ensure you receive the best care possible at one practice. It’s important to us to fine-tune the details of your orthodontic care to give you an amazing smile you’ll love for life.
Emergency Treatment
While a true orthodontic emergency is unlikely, issues can happen unexpectedly, and we’re here to help. Whether it’s a broken bracket, poking wire, or lost retainer, we provide prompt repair appointments. With a specialist on call, patients can access support outside of regular office hours for added peace of mind.
Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs)
For some patients, braces alone may not be enough to correct certain orthodontic issues. We use temporary anchorage devices, or TADs, for additional movement and precision during braces treatment. TADs are a minimally invasive option that give us more control over complex cases.
Orthodontic Airway Treatment
We recognize the link between the airways, sleep, and overall well-being. Airway health evaluations are a standard part of our all-inclusive approach to treatment. We focus on identifying and addressing narrow airways or breathing concerns in growing children using advanced technology and gentle orthodontic solutions. With treatment, we can help improve airflow, support proper facial development, and promote healthier, more restful breathing patterns.
Teeth Whitening
A brighter smile is the perfect finishing touch after orthodontic treatment. At our Elmhurst office, we offer professional teeth whitening with custom take-home trays and dental-grade whitening gel. This safe and effective treatment allows you to whiten your teeth on your own schedule, enhancing your smile’s natural brilliance from the comfort of your own home.
Laser Gum Treatment
Our doctors are experts at advanced treatments, including laser gum contouring to reshape and balance the gumline for a healthier, more attractive smile. This minimally invasive treatment reduces excess gum tissue, enhances tooth appearance, and improves overall aesthetics for lasting results with greater comfort and precision than traditional methods.
