Orthodontics in Waukegan, Illinois

A full set of straight, healthy teeth allows you to chew your food properly and prevents unnecessary strain on your jaw joints and muscles. Straight teeth are also easier to keep clean, helping to avoid tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health concerns.

Are you or a member of your family a candidate for orthodontic care? You may be if you experience one or more of the following dental concerns:

• Overbite: The upper front teeth stick out over the lower teeth
• Underbite: The lower teeth are too far forward or the upper teeth too far back
• Crossbite: The upper teeth do not meet the lower teeth when biting together
• Open bite: Space develops between the front or side teeth when the back teeth are together
• Misplaced midline: The center of the upper front teeth does not line up with the center of the lower front teeth
• Spacing: Irregular gaps between the teeth
• Crowding: The jaw is too small to accommodate all the permanent teeth

Only a trained dental professional can evaluate your condition and help you decide if orthodontic treatment is right for you. Be sure to call and schedule a consultation with our team. We will perform a thorough examination and discuss your needs and concerns. No matter your stage of care, we are here to help!
