Braces remain one of the most effective and reliable ways to correct complex orthodontic issues and achieve long-term bite stability. At Collins Dental Group in Sycamore, IL, our orthodontic team provides braces treatment for children, teens, and adults, using advanced planning and personalized care to deliver healthy, confident smiles.
As a full-service dental practice, we offer orthodontic care alongside comprehensive dentistry, allowing patients from Sycamore, DeKalb, Cortland, Genoa, and Maple Park to receive coordinated treatment in one convenient location.
Comprehensive orthodontic planning with modern technology
Successful braces treatment starts with detailed diagnosis and planning. Our orthodontic team uses iTero digital scanning to evaluate tooth position, bite alignment, and jaw relationships before treatment begins.
Digital scanning allows for:
- Accurate assessment of crowding, spacing, and bite issues
- Improved treatment efficiency and predictability
- Better coordination when orthodontics is part of a larger dental plan
- Enhanced patient comfort without traditional impressions
This technology-driven approach supports both orthodontic precision and long-term oral health.
What braces can correct
Braces are a highly effective orthodontic solution for correcting mild to complex alignment and bite problems. Our orthodontic team commonly recommends braces to address:
- Overbite, underbite, crossbite, and open bite
- Crowded or overlapping teeth
- Excessive spacing between teeth
- Jaw pain and bite-related discomfort
- Esthetic concerns involving crooked or uneven teeth
- Pre-prosthetic orthodontics prior to restorative care
When alignment is required before restorative treatment, braces can be coordinated with restorative dentistry services such as dental crowns, dental implants, or comprehensive smile makeovers to support optimal function and appearance.
Braces for children, teens, and adults
Orthodontic treatment is effective at any age, and braces remain an excellent option across life stages.
Early orthodontic care
Early orthodontic treatment can help guide jaw development, create space for erupting teeth, and reduce the complexity of future orthodontic needs. In some cases, early care is coordinated through early childhood orthodontics to support proper growth and alignment.
Braces for teens
Braces are often recommended for teens due to their effectiveness in addressing active growth and more complex bite concerns. Our orthodontic team carefully monitors development throughout treatment to ensure stable, lasting results.
Braces for adults
Adults may choose braces when clear aligners are not the best option for their orthodontic needs. Collins Dental Group offers free orthodontic consultations for everyone, including free adult orthodontic consults, making it easy to explore treatment options with no pressure or obligation.
Patients comparing braces with aligner treatment can also review our full orthodontics services to understand all available options.
