Orthodontic treatment requires careful consideration. The cost, time, and lifestyle changes that occur are factors that must be evaluated. This is why a thorough consultation with Dr. Mahler is beneficial, as he can go over the details of treatment and the ultimate benefits you can expect once your teeth are in proper alignment. Using Invisalign clear aligners as opposed to traditional metal braces, he can make the process more enjoyable so that you can look forward to a newer, straighter smile. Call our dental office to find out what we can do to realign your teeth for optimal function and aesthetics with orthodontics in Chicago.
Invisalign clear aligners are an alternative method of orthodontic treatment that many people turn to if they want to avoid traditional metal braces. Consisting of clear plastic aligners that are custom-made based on impressions taken of your teeth, they gently shift teeth so that overcrowding, gaps, and bite misalignment are fixed, creating a more beautiful smile while improving your oral and overall health.
When a child’s upper jaw is too narrow, it’s often recommended that they receive a palate expander. This device is designed to gently adjust and widen the jaw so that crowding, bite problems, and other more serious dental problems do not arise throughout adulthood.
This process makes it possible for permanent teeth to move into place accordingly, and it often reduces the amount of time a child will spend wearing braces.
Dr. Mahler and our team will work with you to develop a plan that correlates with your child’s unique needs, making sure that they remain comfortable throughout their visit. We’ll discuss the reason for palate expansion as well as how they work at home. If fixed in place, you will receive a key that will be used to turn the screw that widens the device.
Our patients’ satisfaction is our top priority. From routine checkups to advanced dental care, we make sure every smile leaves our office healthier and happier.
312 Smile is the best, they are definitely 5 star, they always take good care of their patients dental needs. 😊
Hattie W.Great expertise. A 1 in a million phenomenon. The destroyer of TMJ. Other dentists tremble at the sound of the name doctor Mahler (and I’m not talking about the weight loss doctor in Lockport) because they know they cannot compete no matter how hard they try.
Missael S.Dr Mahler has been my dentist for over 30 years. Simple cleaning this time. He had done a crown and filled cavities. I have brought family and friends to him. Personable and lets you know what needs to be done . I highly recommend him.

KanuDr. Mahler has been my dentist for over 20 years. He is very proactive at planning the next step of treatment. He managed a complex dental implant and bridge situation for me. He also has put plans in place for my daughters and we have been able to avoid orthodontics.
Jennifer B.I’ve been a happy patient of Smile 312 for 20 years. Seeing Dr. Mahler really changed the trajectory of my oral health. Charming office, personable staff, painless procedures, and efficiently ran - Very minimum wait time, if any! I’m spoiled for sure.
Ty B.I walked in to see the dentist for a consultation. I thought I would be turned back due to not having an appointment. Amazingly, the doctor welcomed me, examined me in a professional and friendly way. Frankly, he took the time to check my teeth and explained in details his... read more
