Orthodontic Experts Racine provides several orthodontic treatment options, but the right appliance depends on the patient’s diagnosis, age, oral health and ability to follow treatment instructions. Your Racine orthodontist will explain which options can address your needs after completing an examination.
Metal braces provide controlled, consistent tooth movement and can address a broad range of alignment and bite concerns. Metal braces are still one of the most effective solutions.
Ceramic braces work similarly to metal braces but use tooth-colored brackets or clear components for a less noticeable appearance.
Gold braces use gold-colored components while providing the control of a fixed braces system.
Invisalign® treatment uses removable aligners created from a digital treatment plan. Suitability depends on the clinical condition and the patient’s ability to wear Invisalign® aligners as directed.
Clear aligners offer a removable orthodontic option for qualifying patients. Different clear aligner systems may be considered according to treatment needs.
Your first visit is designed to help you understand your orthodontic needs, possible treatment options and expected costs before deciding how to proceed.
Orthodontic coverage and patient costs vary by treatment, insurance plan and authorization requirements. Our Racine clinic team can review available benefits and explain current payment options before treatment begins.
Orthodontic Experts assists eligible Wisconsin Medicaid patients with benefit verification and the prior-authorization process. Approval depends on program rules, age, clinical eligibility and medical necessity.
Available monthly payment arrangements can help patients divide eligible treatment costs over time. Terms depend on the treatment agreement.
Ask the clinic team which Orthodontic Experts promotions currently apply to your treatment.
CareCredit may be available for qualifying patients who want an additional healthcare-financing option.
Our team can verify available orthodontic benefits and explain the estimated portion not covered by the plan.
The initial consultation allows patients to understand their orthodontic needs and financial options before beginning treatment.
Orthodontic needs change with growth, oral health and daily routines. The timing and type of treatment should be based on the individual patient, not age alone.
An orthodontic evaluation can identify developing tooth or jaw concerns. Many kids do not need immediate treatment and may only need periodic monitoring.
Treatment for teens may include braces or clear aligners, depending on the bite, tooth position, maturity and ability to follow appliance instructions.
Adults may seek adult treatment for crowding, bite concerns, tooth movement after earlier treatment or preparation for other dental care. Gum health and existing dental work must be considered during planning.

This was my daughters first time getting braces the people were very dry inviting the process was explained very well and everything was done fast and painless. The staff answered all the questions we had and made sure she was very comfortable with every step. We definitely chose the right place to begin her braces journey thank you all so much

(Translated by Google) They were very kind (Original) Fueron muy amable

When I was 13 my dentist said I would need braces and my dad promised me that I would get them but only if I could prove that I was ready, so my entire school year in 8th grade I was going to the bathroom after lunch and brushing. I worked really hard to prove myself, yet the braces never happened. I’m 30 now, and I can afford it myself, finally. I researched prior to selecting an orthodontist. Orthodontic experts was on the top of the list, and the one my trusted advisor, ChatGPT lol, recommended. Because I spent so much time researching the best place, I didn’t spend as much time researching the best way to wear them, or to enjoy the way they look. When I spoke with the ladies in the office they validated my insecurities (4 days in by the way), and took my mental space seriously. I went in full of uncertainty and I’m walking out feeling so much better. I cannot express my gratitude deeply enough!! Also, I know it’s not a universal experience, but I haven’t experienced nearly half the pain I was anticipating. The bite blocks were the biggest hindrance, but they even took care of that for me today too. It shows that they genuinely care about their patients and not just their pockets! I’m appreciative 🫶🏽

My daughter and I both got our braces at Orthodontic Experts in Racine, and we’ve had a wonderful experience! The entire staff is friendly, welcoming, and professional. They always take the time to explain everything, answer our questions, and make us feel comfortable during every visit. The office is clean, appointments are well organized, and they do a great job making both adults and kids feel at ease. We can already see great progress with our smiles, and we’re so happy we chose Orthodontic Experts. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality orthodontic care for themselves or their children!

I love OE they really made me love my teeth more than I used to the team is very kind and amazing!
