Our experienced orthodontists in Hales Corners, Dr. Christopher Jordan and Dr. Lisa Cruz, provide orthodontic care at our South 108th Street Orthodontic Experts clinic. From a kid’s first orthodontic evaluation to an adult considering treatment again, we help patients understand their alignment concerns and treatment choices.
At your no-cost consultation, you can discuss braces, Invisalign®, and other clear aligners with an orthodontist. You’ll learn whether treatment is recommended, which options suit your teeth and bite, and what getting started would involve.
Meet the orthodontists who care for our Hales Corners patients and learn about the treatment, insurance, and appointment options available.
A Wisconsin native and Brookfield East High School graduate, Dr. Christopher Jordan earned his dental degree at Marquette University and his Master of Science in Dentistry at Indiana University. His experience wearing braces as a kid inspired his interest in orthodontics.
“I’ve always been fascinated by the progress of braces, and there’s no better profession than orthodontics to witness it firsthand while creating beautiful smiles for others.” – Dr. Christopher Jordan
Dr. Lisa Cruz grew up on Milwaukee’s north side, near Menomonee Falls. She earned her bachelor’s degree, dental degree, and master’s degree at Marquette University. She values helping patients feel understood and comfortable asking questions about their care.
“For me, orthodontics is both art and science, creating healthy, stunning smiles while making every patient feel understood and cared for.” – Dr. Lisa Cruz
Your teeth and bite help determine which treatments are suitable. Your preferences and daily routine also matter. Explore the fixed braces and removable aligners available at our orthodontic clinic.
Metal braces use brackets and wires to move teeth and address many bite concerns. They stay in place throughout treatment, so there are no trays to remember to put back in. You’ll still need to clean carefully around the brackets, follow food guidance, and attend adjustment appointments.
Ceramic braces use clear or tooth-colored brackets for a less noticeable appearance. They remain attached to your teeth and work through a bracket-and-wire system. We’ll explain whether they suit your bite, how to care for them, and how their cost compares with metal braces.
Gold braces offer a gold-colored finish for patients who want a different look. Like other fixed braces, they guide tooth movement through brackets and wires. Our orthodontists can show you the available options and explain any differences in cost before you make your choice.
Our Hales Corners clinic offers Invisalign®, a series of custom clear aligners that you remove for meals and cleaning. Aligners usually need to be worn for 20–22 hours each day, following your orthodontist’s instructions. Your orthodontist will assess whether Invisalign® is suitable for your alignment and bite concerns.
We also offer clear aligner systems other than Invisalign®. Your orthodontist will explain the recommended brand, daily wear instructions, any attachments needed, and how your progress will be checked. You’ll know which system is proposed and what using it involves before starting treatment.
Bring your insurance details, if applicable, and information about any previous orthodontic care. We’ll review your dental history, examine your teeth and bite, and discuss your questions and our recommendations.
Your treatment estimate should make clear what care will cost and how you can pay for it. Our Hales Corners team will explain the proposed fee, any applicable insurance benefits, and the payment arrangements available to you.
We accept Wisconsin Medicaid and BadgerCare Plus. Coverage depends on eligibility, clinical criteria, and any required prior authorization. Our team can explain the process; accepting your plan does not guarantee approval for treatment.
We work with major dental insurance plans. Our team can check whether your policy includes orthodontic benefits, identify applicable limits, and explain how those benefits affect your estimate.
Payment plans can spread treatment costs over time. Before you begin, we’ll explain the initial payment, monthly amount, and payment period for the arrangement available to you.
Our Hales Corners clinic accepts CareCredit. Credit approval and financing terms apply, so review the repayment schedule and any interest conditions before choosing this option.
Our team can explain any offers available for your treatment, including eligibility, what is included, and how an offer affects the total amount you pay.
Check which appointments, appliances, and retainers your fee covers, along with any possible additional charges. This helps you understand the total commitment as well as the monthly payment.
Orthodontic care can begin with a kid’s developing bite, fit around a teen’s routine, or address an adult’s changing smile. Each stage brings different questions to the consultation.
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an initial evaluation by age 7. This visit can identify developing tooth and bite concerns while baby and permanent teeth are both present. Many kids won’t need treatment immediately; your orthodontist may recommend monitoring growth instead.
School, sports, and daily habits all matter when choosing braces or aligners for a teen. We’ll discuss cleaning around braces, food choices, and the consistent wear that aligners require, so your teen knows what to expect between orthodontic treatment and appointments.
You may be considering adult orthodontic treatment for the first time or addressing teeth that have shifted since earlier care. We’ll review your bite, gum health, and existing dental work, then explain suitable treatments and the care and appointments involved.

I had my braces for roughly 2 years and the whole experience will start to finish was absolutely incredible. It was intimidating at first, but my specific care was very easy to follow and I feel like the whole process went very fast. I’ve had my braces off for almost two months now and I absolutely love my results. I even miss my braces a little bit, everyone there is always very nice and willing to answer any questions that you might have as a Parent or a patient.
