Looking for an orthodontist near Hinsdale?

Friendly Neighborhood Orthodontist is about 3.5 miles east of Hinsdale, at 324 W Burlington Ave in La Grange. The drive takes around ten minutes along 47th Street or Hillgrove Avenue. Patients who ride Metra can use the BNSF line, since our office sits near La Grange's Stone Avenue stop. Dr. Krushan Patel is a board-certified orthodontist who personally plans and oversees every case, for children, teens and adults.

Early checks for Hinsdale children

A first orthodontic exam by age 7 is the standard advice from the American Association of Orthodontists. That orthodontic exam for children at our office is short and low-pressure. Most kids leave with a plan to monitor growth, and only a few need early treatment. When they do, Dr. Patel explains why and what it is meant to prevent.

Keeping results for the long term

Every plan ends with custom retainers and a clear wear schedule. If a retainer is lost or broken, our team will help you with the next step.

Consultations with Dr. Patel are free. You can schedule your visit online or call (464) 252-0075 to talk with our team.

Orthodontic care for Hinsdale patients

What treatment with Dr. Patel looks like for patients coming from Hinsdale.

Training behind every treatment plan

Choosing an orthodontist usually starts with the doctor. Dr. Patel trained at the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Louisville, where he served as Chief Resident, and the University of Chicago. He is certified in Invisalign and Tweed mechanics, which means he can plan with aligners or with fixed braces depending on what your bite needs.

His education-first approach means he explains the reasoning behind every recommendation. At your consultation he shows you the digital scan, points to what he sees, and tells you what would happen if you chose to wait.

Discreet options for adults and teens

Hinsdale adults often come in to correct teeth that shifted after childhood braces, or crowding that makes cleaning harder. Orthodontic treatment for adults usually means Invisalign or ceramic braces, both of which are hard to notice in conversation. Teens get the same options, and Dr. Patel is direct about which one their case and habits can support.

When teeth move after earlier braces

Relapse is one of the most common reasons adults return to an orthodontist. Teeth keep shifting slowly throughout life, and a retainer that stopped fitting years ago no longer holds them. The good news is that relapse correction usually involves less movement than the original treatment. Dr. Patel will scan your teeth, show you exactly what has moved, and tell you whether aligners alone can bring them back.
