Braces, Invisalign® and Clear Aligners in Mundelein
Orthodontic Treatment Options for Our Patients
Appearance is one consideration when choosing an appliance. The tooth movements needed, your bite and how you will manage treatment day to day also matter. Explore the options below, then discuss their suitability with your orthodontist in Mundelein.
Metal Braces in Mundelein
Metal braces give your orthodontist a fixed bracket-and-wire system for guiding tooth movement. They can address a wide range of alignment concerns and stay on your teeth between appointments.
Ceramic Braces in Mundelein
If you prefer brackets that blend more closely with your teeth, ask about ceramic braces. Their clear or tooth-colored appearance offers an alternative to silver-colored brackets while keeping treatment fixed in place. An examination helps determine whether they are appropriate for your bite; we’ll also explain cleaning requirements and any price difference.
Gold Braces in Mundelein
For patients who want their braces to stand out, gold braces offer another appearance choice. Brackets and wires still do the work of moving teeth; the finish changes their look. Ask to see the available options and discuss their suitability, maintenance, and cost alongside other braces.
Invisalign® in Mundelein
Invisalign® is available at our Mundelein clinic. Treatment uses a sequence of clear, removable trays planned around your tooth movements. You’ll take Invisalign® out to eat and clean your teeth, then put them back in to meet the prescribed wear time, typically 20–22 hours a day. Your orthodontist will assess your suitability and explain how your progress will be monitored.
Clear Aligners in Mundelein
Our clinic also provides other clear aligner systems. Ask which brand is being proposed, why it suits your treatment and what is included in the fee. Your plan should explain the tray sequence, any attachments, review appointments and whether additional aligners may be needed as treatment progresses.

Different Ages, Different Orthodontic Treatments
Orthodontic Care for Kids, Teens and Adults In Mundelein
The reason for an orthodontic visit can change with age. Select a stage below to see what the assessment may focus on.
Pediatric Orthodontics
An early visit allows an orthodontist to assess the space for permanent teeth and the way the jaws and teeth are developing. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first check by age 7. That recommendation is for an evaluation; many kids can be monitored before any appliance is needed.
Teens Orthodontics
Teens should understand what their teen orthodontic treatment will require, including cleaning, appointments and any prescribed elastics or aligner wear. We’ll discuss braces and aligner options that suit their teeth and bite, and involve them in choosing a routine they can follow. Bring questions about sports, meals at school or caring for an appliance away from home.
Adults Orthodontics
Adult orthodontic planning takes existing dental work and gum health into account, as well as the alignment you want to change. Tell us about previous braces, retainers and any planned dental treatment. We can assess your current needs and discuss Adult orthodontic options, including less noticeable appliances when appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get Invisalign® at the Mundelein clinic?
Yes. Orthodontic Experts Mundelein offers Invisalign® as well as other clear aligners. If you prefer Invisalign® specifically, mention it at your consultation so we can assess whether it is suitable and explain the proposed plan.
Who is the orthodontist, and can I discuss treatment in Spanish?
Dr. Cleidy Arboleda, DDS, MS, treats patients at our Mundelein clinic and speaks English and Spanish. Let the team know your language preference when arranging your visit.
How much do braces or Invisalign® cost in Mundelein?
Your fee depends on the correction needed, the appliance selected and the scope of care. Ask for the total treatment estimate and its inclusions, then review any insurance contribution and payment schedule.
Does Illinois Medicaid or All Kids cover braces?
Coverage may be available for qualifying patients when the program’s eligibility, clinical and authorization requirements are met. Our clinic can evaluate the orthodontic concern and help with the applicable process. Enrollment alone does not guarantee that braces, Invisalign or another appliance will be covered.
Can I arrange treatment if I don't have orthodontic insurance?
Yes. You can discuss self-pay care and available payment arrangements with our team. Before choosing a plan, review the amount due initially, the remaining balance, payment dates and any financing terms.
What should I bring to my first appointment?
Bring your current insurance information, relevant medical and dental history, and any previous orthodontic records you have. If you wear a retainer or another removable appliance, mention it when booking so we can advise what to bring. You can also write down questions you want answered.
How do I decide between braces and clear aligners?
Start with an assessment of which options can address your bite. Then consider visibility, cleaning, eating and daily wear. Removable aligners require consistent use; fixed braces require careful cleaning and food precautions. Your orthodontist can explain the trade-offs for your case.
Are early morning or weekend appointments available?
Call for available appointments so our team can align with the available slot.
My teeth moved after previous braces. Can you assess them?
Yes. An orthodontic examination can assess the movement and your current bite. Bring information about your earlier treatment and retainer use.
What happens when active treatment is finished?
Your orthodontist will discuss retainers to help maintain tooth positions and explain your wear schedule.
