What Can Orthodontic Treatment Fix?

Common Problems We Treat

Orthodontic treatment is about much more than aesthetics. At our Orland Park practice, we routinely correct:

• Crowded teeth that overlap or twist.
• Spacing and gaps that affect your smile and speech.
• Overbites where the upper front teeth stick out too far.
• Underbites where the lower teeth sit ahead of the upper teeth.
• Crossbites where upper teeth bite inside lower teeth on one or both sides.
• Open bites where front teeth don’t meet when the back teeth touch.
• Misaligned jaws that affect function and facial balance.

Correcting these problems can improve chewing, protect teeth from damage and make it easier to keep your mouth clean and healthy.

Orthodontic Care for Every Age in Orland Park

Children’s Orthodontic Treatment

We follow the American Association of Orthodontists’ recommendation that children receive their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. At this stage, we can:

• Check jaw growth and tooth eruption patterns.
• Identify crossbites, crowding or spacing issues early.
• Determine whether interceptive treatment, such as expanders, is beneficial.

Many children in Orland Park, Palos Heights, Palos Park and Tinley Park simply need monitoring, while others benefit from early intervention to guide growth and prevent more complex problems later.

Teen Orthodontic Treatment

The teenage years are a great time for comprehensive orthodontic treatment because most permanent teeth are in place and the jaws are still growing. We offer:

• Metal braces with colorful elastics.
• Clear braces for a more subtle look.
• Invisalign Teen for responsible teens who want removable aligners.

Teens from Orland Park, Homer Glen, Mokena and surrounding neighborhoods appreciate having options that fit sports, band, school activities and social life.

Adult Orthodontic Treatment

More adults than ever are choosing orthodontic treatment to improve their smiles, fix bite issues and enhance overall oral health. At Othman Orthodontics, we frequently treat adults who:

• Missed out on braces when they were younger.
• Had braces but experienced shifting or relapse.
• Want to prepare for restorative dental work, such as implants or veneers.

For adults in Orland Park, Tinley Park, Frankfort and New Lenox, we offer discreet options like Invisalign, clear braces and lingual braces, as well as traditional metal braces for complex cases.

Orthodontic Treatment Options in Orland Park

Invisalign Clear Aligners

Invisalign in Orland Park, IL uses a series of custom clear aligners to move teeth without brackets or wires. Aligners are:

• Nearly invisible on your teeth.
• Removable for meals and brushing.
• Comfortable and smooth against cheeks and lips.

Invisalign is especially popular among adults and older teens in Orland Park, Homer Glen, Oak Forest and Lockport who prefer a low-visibility treatment.

Traditional Metal Braces

Metal braces remain one of the most efficient and versatile tools for orthodontic treatment. They are:

• Highly effective for complex and severe bite problems.
• Durable and reliable for active patients.
• Customizable with colored elastics to make treatment more fun.

Clear (Ceramic) Braces

Clear braces use tooth-colored brackets that blend into your smile. Teens and adults who want less noticeable braces choose ceramic brackets to balance discretion with robust treatment.

Lingual and Incognito Braces

For patients who want braces to be completely invisible, we offer lingual braces, including Incognito braces, bonded to the back surfaces of the teeth. These are popular with professionals and adults who want fixed braces hidden from view.

Early & Interceptive Orthodontic Treatment

In younger patients, we may use interceptive treatment such as expanders, limited braces or partial aligners to:

• Correct crossbites.
• Widen narrow arches.
• Create space for permanent teeth.

Surgical Orthodontics

For severe jaw discrepancies, we combine braces or Invisalign with orthognathic surgery performed by a trusted oral surgeon. This approach can dramatically improve both facial balance and bite function.

Your Orthodontic Treatment Experience in Orland Park

• Review your concerns and goals.
• Take digital X-rays, photos and a 3D scan.
• Evaluate your teeth, bite and jaw alignment.
• Explain our findings and answer your questions.

By the end of the visit, you’ll know what issues we can address, which options are available and how long treatment is likely to take.

• The recommended appliance (Invisalign, braces, expanders, etc.).
• Estimated treatment length.
• Any special considerations, such as timing around growth spurts or dental work.
• Clear cost and payment information.

Our team will also review insurance benefits and discuss flexible financing options.

When you’re ready to begin, we schedule an appointment to place your braces or deliver your aligners. We take time to:

• Explain how to care for your braces or aligners.
• Describe what the first few days will feel like.

Step 4: Ongoing Appointments

You’ll return periodically for progress visits. During these appointments, we:

• Monitor your oral hygiene and gum health.
• Answer questions and keep you informed.

We work to keep appointments efficient and schedule-friendly for families juggling work, school and activities in Orland Park and surrounding suburbs.

When your treatment goals are achieved, we remove your braces or complete your aligner series and move into the retention phase. You’ll receive:

• Clear removable retainers and/or fixed retainers.
• Instructions on how long and how often to wear them.
• Guidance on long-term care to protect your new smile.

Benefits of Orthodontic Treatment in Orland Park

Healthier Teeth and Gums

Straighter teeth are easier to clean, which helps reduce the risk of cavities and gum disease. A properly aligned bite also distributes biting forces more evenly, reducing abnormal wear.

Improved Bite and Comfort

Many patients from Orland Park, Tinley Park, Homer Glen and Mokena tell us that after treatment, they can chew more comfortably and feel less strain on individual teeth or jaw joints.

Confidence That Lasts

A balanced, attractive smile can boost confidence in school, work and social settings. From job interviews in the city to family photos at local events, orthodontic treatment can help you feel your best.
