What is Orthodontic Care and How Long Does It Take?
Orthodontic dental care involves the use of devices made from metal, ceramic, or plastic to correct dental flaws, such as wide gaps or misaligned teeth. The treatment options provided at Oakbrook Orthodontics range from removable aligners to the more conventional brackets attached to your teeth.
Depending on various factors and considerations, your treatment could take from one to three years, The variables determining the length of your orthodontic care include, among others, your age, the complexity of your dental issues, and the orthodontic technique to be used to address those problems.
Whatever your issues and concerns, you can have peace of mind knowing that when you seek treatment at Oakbrook Orthodontics, we will always work closely with you, making you aware of all available options to assist in determining the one best suited for you.
Bloomingdale Orthodontist
At our office in Bloomingdale, we offer the following orthodontic treatment options.
Invisalign®
Invisalign® is one of today’s most popular orthodontic options that uses nearly invisible aligners to correct dental issues. This choice is particularly favored by older teenagers and adults who prefer an alternative to obviously noticeable traditional metal braces.
Invisalign® aligners are effective in straightening teeth while offering several distinct advantages. These include personal comfort, the convenience of removing the aligners while eating and drinking, and the advantage of not needing to adjust wires or replace loose brackets.
3D computer imaging technology is used to design the custom Invisalign® aligners you’ll wear during treatment. If it appears Invisalign® is your best option, Dr. Neal will provide an estimate of how long your treatment will take and how many aligners you’re likely to need.
Other Orthodontic Options
In addition to Invisalign®, other orthodontic treatments offered in Bloomingdale at Oakbrook Orthodontics include:
- Traditional Metal Braces
- Lightforce™ Braces
- Spark Aligners
- Surgical Orthodontics
Mouthguards for Young Athletes
School is out, summer is here, and that means many young people will be engaged in summer sports activities. If your child is engaged in summer sports, especially any kind of contact sport, we strongly recommend that you get a dental-grade mouthguard to protect their teeth and gums even if they’re not undergoing orthodontic treatment.
While OTC mouthguards are readily available, we strongly recommend a custom-made mouthguard from Oakbrook Orthodontics that provides the highest level of comfort and safety for your child.
