Ways We Make You Smile Near Woodridge Lakes

Macdonald Orthodontics near Woodridge Lakes offers traditional metal braces, clear braces, Invisalign for kids, teens, and adults, early treatment, surgical orthodontics, and custom retainers and mouthguards. Here are the details on each.

Traditional Metal Braces

Braces are a well-proven and effective treatment for patients of all ages, handling everything from minor spacing issues to complex bite corrections. Today’s braces are smaller, more comfortable, and more efficient than ever. According to the American Association of Orthodontists, braces remain one of the most reliable methods for achieving lasting results.

Clear Braces

Want something less noticeable? Clear braces use tooth-colored brackets that blend with your natural smile while delivering the same reliable results as traditional braces.

Invisalign Clear Aligners

Not sure about braces? Invisalign aligners are the clear alternative! These removable aligners straighten teeth without brackets or wires. We offer Invisalign options for:

• Invisalign for Kids: Designed for growing smiles with special features for younger patients
• Invisalign for Teens: Includes compliance indicators and replacement aligners for active lifestyles
• Invisalign for Adults: Discreet treatment that fits right into professional and social settings

Early Treatment Options

Early treatment helps guide proper growth and smile development. At Macdonald Orthodontics near Woodridge Lakes, two-phase treatment and dentofacial orthopedics address jaw growth and tooth positioning before all permanent teeth come in, often simplifying future treatment. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends children receive their first evaluation by age 7.

Surgical Orthodontics

For complex cases involving jaw alignment, our doctors work closely with oral surgeons to plan and carry out treatment that braces alone can’t accomplish. Working together with oral surgeons ensures the best possible outcome for both function and appearance.

Retainers and Mouthguards

Custom retainers keep teeth in their new positions after treatment wraps up, and sport mouthguards keep active smiles safe during games and practice. Both are made to fit precisely for maximum comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions

What age should my child first see an orthodontist?

The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) recommends age 7 for a child’s first orthodontic evaluation. At this age, our doctors can spot developing issues with jaw growth and emerging teeth. Early detection doesn’t always mean early treatment, but it gives us the chance to monitor growth and step in at the right time if needed.

How much do braces or Invisalign cost near Woodridge Lakes?

Treatment costs vary based on your specific needs, the type of treatment selected, and how long you’ll be in care. During your free consult, we’ll provide a detailed breakdown and discuss low monthly payment options that fit your budget. At Macdonald Orthodontics, insurance benefits are also maximized whenever possible.

How long does orthodontic treatment typically take?

Most treatment takes 12 to 24 months, though your timeline depends on your unique situation. Some minor corrections take less time, while complex cases may need longer. At your free consult, you’ll get a realistic estimate based on your specific goals.

Does Macdonald Orthodontics accept my insurance?

Macdonald Orthodontics works with most major insurance plans and will help you understand your coverage before treatment begins. The team files claims on your behalf, so you don’t have to deal with any of that yourself.

What is the difference between braces and Invisalign?

This is one of the most common questions we hear. Braces use brackets and wires attached to teeth, gradually shifting them into position around the clock. Invisalign takes a different approach, using clear, removable aligners you swap out every one to two weeks for more flexibility with eating and brushing. Both deliver excellent results, and our doctors will help you decide which fits best.

Feature	Braces	Invisalign
Visibility	Metal or clear brackets on teeth	Nearly invisible clear aligners
Removable	No	Yes, for eating and brushing
Best For	All case types, including complex	Mild to moderate cases, lifestyle flexibility
Treatment Time	12–24 months typical	12–24 months typical
