Orthodontic Services Available to Lincoln Heights Patients
Wire Orthodontics offers a full range of orthodontic care for patients of all ages. Each plan is built around your goals, your bite, and what fits your daily routine, with Dr. Wire personally guiding the process from consultation to retention.
Services we provide to Lincoln Heights families include:
- Traditional Braces for children, teens, and adults. These time-tested appliances use brackets and an archwire that Dr. Wire adjusts periodically, applying steady pressure that gradually shifts teeth into their ideal positions.
- Invisalign Clear Aligners for teens and adults. As a certified Invisalign provider, we use this discreet, removable system to straighten teeth without brackets or wires.
- Phase One Treatment for children, typically beginning around age seven. Early intervention can guide jaw growth, address crowding, and may reduce the need for permanent tooth extractions later on.
- Two-Phase Treatment that combines early growth guidance with a second phase of full braces or Invisalign once most permanent teeth have erupted.
- Palatal Expanders and Retainers to widen narrow upper jaws, correct crossbites, and protect your results after active orthodontic care ends.
- Airway Orthodontics focused on jaw development that supports proper breathing, along with referrals for corrective jaw surgery when more advanced cases call for a coordinated approach.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do braces cost in Lincoln Heights?
The cost of braces depends on the type of appliance, the complexity of your case, and the length of treatment. After a complete exam, Dr. Wire provides a clear, written estimate so there are no surprises. We offer flexible payment plans, and many patients use orthodontic insurance benefits to offset a portion of the cost.
Do you offer Invisalign for teens?
Yes. We’re a certified Invisalign provider and treat many teens with Invisalign Teen aligners. These aligners are designed for growing smiles, include compliance indicators, and let teens keep eating their favorite foods and brushing normally. During your visit, we help determine whether Invisalign or traditional braces will give your teen the best result.
At what age should my child see an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic visit by age seven. By this age, enough permanent teeth have emerged to spot developing concerns like crossbites, crowding, or jaw growth issues. Early evaluation doesn’t always mean early treatment, but it allows us to monitor growth and step in at the right moment.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
Most orthodontic treatment takes 12 to 24 months, though shorter and longer plans are common depending on the issues being corrected. Phase one treatment for children typically runs 6 to 12 months. At your free consultation, Dr. Wire shares a realistic timeline based on your specific bite and goals.
Do you accept insurance and offer payment plans?
We accept many orthodontic insurance plans and help verify your benefits before treatment begins. For out-of-pocket costs, we offer in-house payment plans designed to make orthodontic care manageable for families. Our team reviews every option with you so you can choose what works best for your budget.
