At Orthodontic Experts Algonquin on 136 South Randall Road, our experienced orthodontist, Dr. Robert Weber, provides orthodontic care for kids, teens, and adults. His experience spans more than four decades, with training at Loyola and Northwestern and a career treating patients with braces and aligners.
Our Algonquin clinic offers metal, ceramic, and gold braces, Invisalign®, and other clear aligners. If you are comparing treatment options, start with an examination and a conversation about the changes you want to make. Our orthodontist in Algonquin will explain the recommendation, discuss costs and coverage, and help you understand what care would involve before you commit.
A useful consultation should leave you knowing more than the name of an appliance. Here are five things our Algonquin team brings to the discussion, from specialist experience to the practical details of returning for orthodontic care.
Dr. Robert Weber grew up in LaSalle-Peru, Illinois. While attending dental school, he ran a small laboratory making retainers. Working with orthodontists through that business helped spark his interest in the specialty and shaped the next stage of his education.
He earned his dental degree at Loyola University School of Dentistry, then completed orthodontic training and received a Certificate in Orthodontia at Northwestern School of Dentistry. His practice experience includes both traditional braces and aligner therapy for kids and adults.
Outside the clinic, Dr. Weber enjoys gardening, fishing and cooking.

Some patients prefer an appliance that stays in place; others want removable trays. Appearance matters, but so do the movements needed and the care you can manage each day. Explore the five options available at this office, then discuss their suitability with Dr. Weber.
Metal braces use brackets and an archwire to guide teeth through treatment. Because Metal braces remain attached, you do not need to remember to put them back in after meals. Clean around them carefully and avoid hard or sticky foods that could damage the appliance.
Ceramic braces use tooth-colored brackets for a less noticeable appearance. Ceramic braces still have a wire and stay attached throughout treatment. If you like the idea of a fixed appliance but prefer a subtler look, ask to compare ceramic and metal brackets. For a kid, tooth development and appliance care also influence suitability.
With gold braces, the distinctive feature is the finish. They use a fixed bracket-and-wire approach, giving you another appearance choice alongside metal and ceramic braces. Our team can show you the available styles and explain their cost.
Invisalign® treatment uses a series of custom trays that you change according to your prescribed schedule. Remove Invisalign® for meals and cleaning, then return them to your teeth. The usual daily wear recommendation is 20–22 hours.
Invisalign® is one brand within the wider category of clear aligners. Our Algonquin clinic also offers 3M clear aligners. Before choosing, understand which system is being proposed, the scope of tooth movement and what your fee includes.
You do not need to choose braces or aligners before requesting an appointment. The consultation is where we examine your teeth, discuss what is possible and explain the path from assessment to treatment. Bring your insurance details and tell us about any current dental work or previous orthodontic care.
The cost of orthodontic care reflects the treatment being planned. We can help you separate the total fee from the payment schedule and understand how insurance may contribute. Ask for the details of your own plan so you know what is due at the start and over the course of care.
All Kids and Illinois Medicaid are accepted here. Orthodontic approval depends on eligibility and the program’s clinical requirements. We can explain the assessment and any authorization needed.
Your initial consultation gives us the opportunity to assess your concerns and discuss a treatment estimate. You can ask questions before deciding to begin.
Monthly arrangements can divide your treatment balance into installments. Our team will explain the initial payment and the schedule available for your case, including automatic-payment requirements.
We work with a range of insurers. Orthodontic benefits may have age restrictions, waiting periods or a lifetime maximum, so bring your current policy information for a benefit check.
If your dental plan excludes orthodontics, or you do not have insurance, ask about self-pay arrangements. We can discuss the proposed treatment cost and available payment options with you.
Our Algonquin clinic accepts CareCredit, subject to credit approval. Compare the repayment period and interest terms of the offer available to you before selecting financing.
A growing kid’s first assessment and an adult’s return to orthodontic care raise different questions. We consider development, dental health and daily responsibilities when discussing when to begin and how treatment would work.
Parents do not have to wait until every permanent tooth has arrived. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first check by age 7. Some kids benefit from early care; others need observation while more teeth come in.
School lunches, activities and time away from home all affect appliance care. A teen considering aligners needs to understand consistent wear and safe storage; a teen choosing braces needs to learn cleaning and food precautions.
There is no single upper age limit for adult orthodontic treatment. You may be considering care for the first time or revisiting teeth that have moved. Your assessment considers the current bite, gum health, crowns and missing teeth.

You do not need to know the clinical name for a concern before booking. Point out the tooth that overlaps, the space you notice or the way your teeth meet. Your examination helps explain the cause and whether orthodontic treatment could help.

Great service for dental care

I absolutely love this place! I recommend it to anyone, which I have. Today we had Jada, and she was awesome, she explained everything she was doing, and even explained what the Dr. said to her about my daughters braces and expander. My daughter was very comfortable with Jada, and she was so happy when we left. Thank you to Orthodontic Experts!!

The girl in the front Denise is super nice and helpful! Always answers questions with good energy and tries her best to help you understand!

Zahra is a wonder and is delightful!! My 16yo son was really struggling with wires causing pain and bleeding. She took the time to talk with him, redid the wire so it was curved at his tooth instead of poking, and left him both pain free AND smiling!! Thank you, Zahra !!!
Dr. Robert Weber, DDS, MS, provides care at Orthodontic Experts Algonquin. He earned his dental degree at Loyola University School of Dentistry and completed orthodontic training at Northwestern School of Dentistry. His background includes treating kids and adults with braces and aligners.
We offer both Invisalign® and other clear aligner systems. During your consultation, our orthodontist can assess which options suit the correction needed. If you specifically want Invisalign®, mention that preference so the proposed brand and treatment scope are clear.
We provide an individual estimate after assessing your teeth and bite. Monthly payment arrangements are available, with terms based on the plan offered. Review the total fee, initial payment, installment schedule and included services together; a monthly figure alone does not explain the full cost.
Yes. Our Algonquin clinic accepts Illinois Medicaid and All Kids. Coverage for orthodontics requires the patient and proposed treatment to meet applicable eligibility and clinical criteria, with authorization where required. Contact us with your current plan information to discuss the assessment process.
That depends on your particular Cigna policy and its rules for treatment in progress. Do not assume a new plan will pay toward an existing course of care. Give our team the start date and coverage details so we can help check any remaining benefit and applicable restrictions.
Same-day braces may be possible when treatment is appropriate, the necessary records and preparations are complete, and appointment time is available. Mention your interest when booking. Dental work, insurance authorization or additional assessment may mean scheduling a separate start visit.
The AAO recommends a check by age seven, or sooner if a concern arises. You can book while your kid still has baby teeth. The purpose is to assess development and timing; braces are not automatically needed at that first appointment.
Existing dental work does not automatically rule out orthodontic care. An assessment is needed to consider the restorations, gum and bone health, and the planned tooth movements. Tell Dr. Weber about crowns, missing teeth and treatment planned with your dentist before choosing an appliance.

Contact our Algonquin office at (847) 658-4907 and describe what has happened. The team can advise whether you need an appointment and what to do next. For a serious injury, difficulty breathing or swallowing, or uncontrolled bleeding, seek urgent medical care rather than waiting for an orthodontic visit.
