Orthodontics by Des Plaines Dentist Dr. Thomas Meyer

Orthodontics

Orthodontic treatments are becoming increasingly popular, as more and more people are looking to preserve their natural, healthy teeth for life. Straight teeth enhance your health with easier daily maintenance, better function and a balanced bite that prevents your natural tooth enamel from being worn down.

In addition to improved function, patients notice the dramatic difference in their smile and facial appearance. Feeling a renewed sense of confidence, our patients can enjoy their beautiful, even smiles every day... as well as for photographs, upcoming special events and new opportunities.

As a cosmetic dentist offering a wide range of solutions, Dr. Meyer has been providing traditional orthodontics at his Des Plaines dental practice for years. And for patients who are concerned with the aesthetic appearance of their orthodontic solution, Dr. Meyer also provides the latest advancement of invisible braces with the breakthrough technology known as Invisalign®.

Whether the best option for your smile is Invisalign® or traditional orthodontics, Dr. Meyer can help you to enjoy the life changing benefits of a straight, beautifully aligned smile.

Straightening Your Teeth Doesn’t Mean Compromising Your Smile in the Process

A variety of orthodontic treatment procedures are utilized by Dr. Meyer and his dental associates for correcting the alignment of your teeth. These procedures include treatment with fixed braces, lingual appliances and surgical orthodontics. By using these different dental techniques it is possible to correct misalignments such as over-bites, under-bites, cross-bites, extensively spaced or overcrowded teeth, protruding teeth and more.

With traditional orthodontics, Dr. Meyer places conventional or clear brackets and wires on your teeth in order to straighten and move your teeth as needed. In some cases he uses expanders and other specialty appliances so that room can be made for permanent teeth without extractions. The length of time necessary for this orthodontic treatment is about six to eighteen months depending on your individual needs.
