Lemont Orthodontics: Braces & Invisalign at Booth Orthodontics
What Is Orthodontic Care in Lemont?
Lemont Orthodontics at Booth Orthodontics is specialized dental care focused on straightening teeth, correcting bites, and aligning jaws for patients of all ages. Our Homer Glen office serves Lemont families with Invisalign, metal braces, and clear braces backed by precise digital diagnostics. We help you achieve a healthier, more confident smile.
Misaligned teeth, overbites, underbites, and crossbites can affect more than just how your smile looks. They can impact how you chew, speak, and care for your teeth long-term. That's where your orthodontist comes in. Dr. Ryan Booth, DDS, and Dr. Evan Booth, DDS, both orthodontic specialists, provide state of the art treatment designed around your goals, your schedule, and your comfort.
We rely on painless and goop-free digital pictures and CBCT imaging to map out your bite with accuracy. There are no messy trays and no guesswork involved. Just clear, detailed visuals that help us plan your care from day one.
Serving the Lemont community from our Homer Glen office, Booth Orthodontics has been making you smile since 1986. Three generations of orthodontic experience stand behind every treatment we deliver. We believe everyone deserves a beautiful smile, and we're proud to bring orthodontics for all ages right to your neighborhood.

Your Orthodontic Treatment Process Step by Step
Getting started with Lemont orthodontics at Booth Orthodontics follows a clear five-step process: free consult with digital imaging, custom treatment options with transparent pricing, fitting of your braces or Invisalign aligners, regular check-in visits, and a retainer phase to protect your results. Most cases take 12 to 24 months, depending on complexity.
Here's what to expect at each stage as a Lemont patient:
- Step 1: Your free consult and digital evaluation. We start with painless and goop-free digital pictures and CBCT imaging when needed. Your orthodontist reviews your bite, teeth, and jaw alignment in detail.
- Step 2: Custom treatment options and clear pricing. Dr. Ryan or Dr. Evan walks you through your recommended care. You'll see your numbers, payment plan choices, and timeline before you commit to anything.
- Step 3: Fitting your braces or aligners. Whether you choose metal braces, clear braces, or Invisalign, your first fitting visit is straightforward. We'll show you how to care for your new appliance at home.
- Step 4: Regular adjustment visits. Most patients come in every 4 to 8 weeks for adjustments or new aligner trays. These quick visits keep your progress on track.
- Step 5: Retainer phase. Once your teeth reach their final positions, retainers help lock in your new smile for the long haul.
Many patients notice their teeth shifting into place within the first few months, so you can enjoy the process—from start to finish.
Are You a Candidate for Orthodontic Treatment?
Most people are candidates for orthodontic treatment, and orthodontics for all ages means you're never too old to get started. Children, teens, and adults all benefit from care that addresses common alignment concerns. The right time to schedule a free consult is whenever you're ready to learn more.
Common issues we treat at Booth Orthodontics include:
| Condition | What It Looks Like |
|---|---|
| Crowding | Crowded teeth with little space between them |
| Spacing | Gaps between teeth |
| Overbite | Upper teeth extend too far past the lower teeth |
| Underbite | Lower teeth sit in front of the upper teeth |
| Crossbite | Some upper teeth fit behind lower teeth when biting |
For kids, the American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic evaluation around age 7. At this point, most children have a mix of permanent and baby teeth, giving your orthodontist a chance to spot developing issues early. Early intervention can reduce the need for more intensive treatment later.
For adults, Invisalign is often a great fit for mild to moderate cases, especially if you want a discreet option for work or social settings. Not sure if you qualify? Our virtual consult lets you connect with our team from home so we can assess your candidacy before you ever step into our office.

Frequently Asked Questions About Lemont Orthodontics
How much do braces or Invisalign cost in Lemont?
Pricing varies based on your specific care, the length of treatment, and your insurance coverage. We walk you through every detail of insurance & finances during your free consult so you know what to expect. Payment plans are available to fit treatment into your budget.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
Most orthodontic treatment lasts between 12 and 24 months, though some cases finish sooner and others take a bit longer. Your timeline depends on the complexity of your bite, the appliance you choose, and how closely you follow your orthodontist's care instructions.
What is the best age for a child's first orthodontic visit?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an orthodontic evaluation by around age 7. At this age, most kids have a mix of permanent and baby teeth, which lets your orthodontist spot issues early. Early evaluation does not always mean early treatment, but it allows us to plan ahead.
Does insurance cover braces and retainers?
Many dental plans include orthodontic benefits that help cover braces, Invisalign, and retainers. Coverage amounts and rules vary by plan. Our team reviews your benefits with you during your first visit and explains exactly what's covered.
Invisalign vs braces: which is right for me?
It depends on your goals, lifestyle, and the complexity of your case. Braces are exceptionally good at fixing complex alignment issues. Invisalign offers a nearly invisible, removable alternative that works well for many teens and adults. Your orthodontist will help you compare both at your free consult.
| Feature | Braces | Invisalign |
|---|---|---|
| Visibility | Visible (clear braces less so) | Nearly invisible |
| Removable | No | Yes |
| Best for | Complex cases | Mild to moderate cases |
| Eating restrictions | Some foods to avoid | None (remove to eat) |
| Visit frequency | Every 4-8 weeks | Every 6-10 weeks |
Is a free consultation available?
Yes. Booth Orthodontics offers a free consult for every new patient, with both in-office and virtual options. There's no obligation, and you'll leave with a clear picture of your care, timeline, and pricing.
