Orthodontics & Clear Aligners Munster

What is Orthodontics?

Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry focused on correcting teeth and jaws that are positioned improperly. Problems like underbites, overbites, crossbites, and spacing issues can not only impact the appearance of your smile but also contribute to oral health complications. Through the use of braces, clear aligners, and other appliances, orthodontics aims to straighten teeth to improve both function and aesthetic appeal.

What to Expect When Getting Braces

Braces are at the heart of orthodontic treatment, designed to gradually realign teeth by applying gentle pressure over time. This process not only enhances the beauty of your smile but also plays a crucial role in improving oral functionality. Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of decay and gum disease, and can alleviate the discomfort associated with misaligned bites.

We pride ourselves on offering a variety of orthodontic options tailored to meet each patient’s unique needs. Our team leverages the latest advancements in orthodontic technology to ensure your treatment is as efficient and comfortable as possible. Whether your goal is to address medical concerns or achieve cosmetic improvements, we are here to guide you through every phase of your orthodontic journey.

How Much Do Braces Cost?

If you go to any other practice in the area, they will charge you about $7-8K for braces, which needless to say, is quite the investment.

Because we’re able to handle everything in-house and have our own orthodontist on staff, patients can get braces for $3,995 at Distinctive Dentistry & Orthodontics. We make it easy to break this up into smaller payments as well, ensuring treatment is always accessible for local families.

Tooth-Colored Porcelain Brackets

This option has a more subtle appearance than traditional braces while still being able to correct a wide range of orthodontic issues. They’re ideal for teen or adult patients with more complex crowding or bite problems that may not be well-suited for aligners, offering a discreet appliance that still delivers when it comes to predictable results.

Clear Aligners are Also Available

Clear aligners have quickly become the most popular option for orthodontic patients, and it’s easy to see why. In addition to being discreet, they also allow someone to remove their aligners, meaning they can eat and brush their teeth like normal.

Just like with braces, Distinctive Dentistry & Orthodontics charges $3,995 (plus a $600 lab fee) for clear aligner treatment, which is 50% LESS compared to other practices in the area. That’s true whether a patient opts for Invisalign or 3M aligners.
