There is more to choosing braces or aligners than deciding how they will look. You also need to know what they can change, who will oversee treatment, and how regular visits will fit into your week. At our Bloomingdale Road Orthodontic Experts clinic, our board-certified orthodontist Dr. Dina Shibeika helps kids, teens, and adults work through those decisions.
We offer metal, ceramic, and gold braces, Invisalign®, and other clear aligners here in Glendale Heights. Begin with a no-cost consultation to discuss the concerns behind your search, whether that is a crowded smile, a bite that feels uneven, or teeth that have shifted since earlier treatment.
Orthodontic care involves an ongoing relationship with your clinic. Our Glendale Heights office brings together a local place for follow-up visits, a named orthodontist and several ways to approach treatment and payment.
Dr. Dina Shibeika’s path to orthodontics took her from Khartoum, Sudan, where she grew up, to dental school at the University of California, Los Angeles. After earning her DDS, she completed an orthodontic residency, master’s degree and certificate in orthodontics at the University at Buffalo.
Her academic work includes coauthoring a published systematic review examining the relationship between temporomandibular disorders and sleep disorders in adults. In practice, she values the effect orthodontic care can have on how patients feel about themselves and aims to make appointments comfortable and welcoming.
“I try to have fun every day at work and strive to provide exceptional orthodontic treatment in a caring, comfortable, and fun environment!” – Dr. Dina Shibeika
The right orthodontic appliance needs to suit both the planned correction and the person wearing it. These options differ in visibility, removability and day-to-day responsibilities. Your examination helps establish which ones are appropriate for your teeth and bite.
Metal braces give your orthodontist control over tooth movement through brackets joined by a wire. Metal braces remain in place at meals, at school and overnight. You will need to protect the brackets from hard or sticky foods and clean around the appliance carefully.
If you want braces to draw less attention, ceramic brackets blend more closely with natural tooth color. They are attached to your teeth and still use a wire; they are different from removable clear trays.
Gold braces offer a gold-colored finish for patients who enjoy a more distinctive bracket style. Choosing the finish does not replace the need for a suitable treatment plan.
We provide Invisalign®, a branded system of custom removable aligners. A sequence of trays moves teeth in planned stages, with visits to assess progress. Daily wear is typically 20–22 hours, following your orthodontist’s instructions.
Our Glendale Heights clinic also offers clear aligners from other systems. When comparing them with Invisalign®, ask about the specific brand, planned tooth movements, progress checks and arrangements for additional trays.
A no-cost orthodontic consultation starts with what matters to you. Tell us about a tooth that bothers you, difficulty bringing your teeth together or a concern raised by your dentist. Bring your insurance card and details of any previous orthodontic treatment so we can make the discussion relevant to your situation.
A monthly payment is one part of a treatment estimate. Our team and orthodontists in Glendale Heights can also explain the total fee, the amount due to start, and what your plan includes. That makes it easier to compare options and understand your responsibility before treatment begins.
Our office accepts Illinois Medicaid and All Kids. Orthodontic coverage requires eligibility and applicable clinical criteria; authorization may be needed before treatment can begin.
Have your concerns assessed before committing to treatment. The consultation gives us a basis for discussing an individual recommendation and estimate.
Ask about our in-house monthly payment options. Review the initial payment, remaining installments and any automatic-payment requirements for the arrangement offered.
If you have private dental insurance, we can check whether your policy includes orthodontics. Age restrictions and lifetime benefit limits may affect what it pays.
You can request an appointment without orthodontic insurance. We will explain the proposed fee and available payment arrangements for your treatment.
Another payment option at this location is CareCredit, subject to credit approval. Review the terms of the financing offer, including repayment requirements and any interest that may apply.
Your age helps shape the assessment, but it does not determine the whole plan. Growing teeth, a teenager’s daily habits and an adult’s dental history each call for their own discussion.
An early visit lets us look at how permanent teeth are arriving and how the upper and lower teeth meet. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an orthodontic check by age 7. If treatment is not needed yet, monitoring can help determine when to reassess.
Teens often have practical questions about eating at school, playing sports or wearing an appliance in photos. Include them in the conversation about braces and aligners. We can explain the responsibilities involved, from brushing around brackets to storing removable trays safely, so both you and your teen understand the routine Before starting teen orthodontic treatment.
Perhaps you never had orthodontic care, or perhaps your teeth have moved since you stopped wearing a retainer. An adult assessment considers your current alignment together with gum health, existing restorations and any planned dental work. Bring those details to your visit so we can discuss realistic treatment options and any care needed from your dentist first.

The fee depends on the correction needed and the treatment proposed after an examination. At your no-cost consultation, ask for the total price, what is included and how insurance or monthly payments would apply. An advertised installment is not the total treatment cost.
Yes. Our Glendale Heights clinic provides Invisalign® as well as other clear aligners. If you have a preference for Invisalign®, mention it when scheduling and discuss its suitability during your examination. We will identify the system included in your proposed plan.
Your orthodontist considers the type of movement required, the bite correction and whether an appliance can be worn and cared for as directed. Braces and aligners are different ways of applying treatment. The recommendation should explain why a particular approach suits your case.
Yes, our Glendale Heights office accepts Illinois Medicaid and All Kids. Coverage depends on the patient’s eligibility, the program’s orthodontic requirements and any necessary authorization.
