Orthodontic Services We Provide in Forest Park, IL
At Advanced Orthodontic Specialists in Forest Park, you’ll find everything you need under one roof. From routine check-ups and braces adjustments to aligner fittings, diagnostics, and urgent repair visits, our office is designed for convenience and comfort. With board-certified orthodontists leading your care, you can trust that every visit is personalized, efficient, and focused on your smile.
Braces
At our Forest Park office, patients can choose Damon™ braces in sleek metal or discreet clear options. This advanced system uses a unique self-ligating design that moves teeth with less force, making treatment more comfortable and efficient. In many cases, it also allows smiles to develop naturally without expanders or tooth extractions.
Clear Aligners
At our Forest Park location, you can choose clear aligner treatment with either Invisalign® or Spark™. These nearly invisible aligners are a popular choice for kids, teens, and adults who want a subtle alternative to braces. Using advanced digital scans, we create custom aligners for a comfortable fit and an easy, confident treatment experience.
Early Treatment
We provide two-phase early treatment for children with crowding, spacing, or bite concerns. Following the American Association of Orthodontists’ recommendation, we encourage visits by age 7. If treatment isn’t needed right away, our 100% free Growth Guidance Program offers regular check-ins, advanced imaging, and kid-friendly rewards to monitor development with peace of mind.
Retainers
Keeping your smile straight doesn’t end when treatment is finished; that’s where retainers come in. We offer quick-turnaround Essix retainers made in-house, as well as bonded and Vivera options. For lasting peace of mind, our Retainer Insurance and Retainers for Life programs provide flexible, budget-friendly protection for every family.

Our team offers advanced services and personalized attention all in one place, tailoring every step of treatment to your unique needs.

EMERGENCY TREATMENT
When the unexpected happens, we’re here to help. From loose brackets to irritating wires or misplaced retainers, our team offers quick repair visits to keep treatment on track. For urgent needs, a specialist is available after hours to provide timely support and reassurance.
Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs)
In certain situations, braces need a little extra support to achieve the best results. That’s where temporary anchorage devices (TADs) come in. These small, comfortable appliances give our orthodontists added control, making it possible to guide teeth with greater accuracy and handle more complex treatments with confidence.
ORTHODONTIC AIRWAY TREATMENT
Your child’s ability to breathe well plays a big role in their overall health and development. That’s why our team includes airway evaluations as part of every treatment plan. Using advanced tools and gentle orthodontic techniques, we can spot and treat airway concerns early, helping improve breathing, encourage natural facial growth, and support better, more restful sleep.
TEETH WHITENING
After orthodontic treatment, many patients want to take their smile one step further. At our Forest Park office, we offer a convenient, at-home teeth whitening option designed to reveal your smile’s full potential. Using custom-made trays and professional-grade whitening gel, you can safely brighten your teeth on your own time, all from the comfort of your own home.
LASER GUM TREATMENT
Our orthodontists offer specialized treatments like laser gum contouring to refine and enhance your smile. This gentle procedure reshapes the gumline by removing small amounts of excess tissue, creating better balance and symmetry. The result is a healthier, more natural-looking smile achieved with comfort and lasting precision.
