About West Loop Orthodontics

West Loop Orthodontics operates on West Washington Boulevard in the West Loop area of Chicago, Illinois. Traditional braces use brackets and wires to gradually move teeth into alignment, handling complex bite corrections and significant crowding more predictably than removable alternatives. Treatment commonly runs one to three years, with a retainer worn afterward to hold the result.

Routine attendance, roughly every six months for most people, is what actually keeps small problems small. A lot of decay and gum disease develops without any pain in its early stages, which is why regular checkups matter even when nothing seems to be wrong, rather than only booking an appointment once something hurts.

A first appointment at a new practice typically covers a full examination, a review of your dental and medical history, and a professional cleaning, with X-rays if you do not have recent ones. It is also a reasonable time to raise any longer-term concerns, cosmetic or otherwise, so they can be factored into a plan going forward.

Day-to-day oral health still comes down to the basics between visits — brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between the teeth, and limiting how often sugary food and drink appear through the day matters more than the total amount eaten at once. Regular professional care is what catches whatever those habits do not.

Digital X-rays are a routine part of dental care because they show what a visual exam alone cannot — decay forming between teeth, bone loss below the gumline, and how developing adult teeth are positioned in children. They use a low radiation dose and are taken on a schedule matched to individual risk rather than at every single visit.

Left untreated, small dental problems tend not to stay small. A minor cavity that would have been a straightforward filling can progress to needing root canal treatment and a crown, and early gum inflammation that would have reversed with a good cleaning can progress toward bone loss around the teeth. Catching things early is generally the difference in both effort and cost.

What services does West Loop Orthodontics offer?

Do braces hurt?
Fitting them does not hurt, but teeth are usually tender for a few days afterward and again after each adjustment. It settles as the teeth adapt, and over-the-counter pain relief covers it for most people.
Are braces or clear aligners better?
Fixed braces handle complex movements and severe cases more predictably. Aligners are removable and far less visible, but they only work while you actually wear them, so they suit people who will keep to the routine.
What causes bad breath and can a dentist help?
Persistent bad breath most often comes from bacteria on the tongue and around the gumline, and gum disease is a frequent underlying cause. Because it is usually oral in origin, a dental examination is a sensible first step.

We have had a great experience here. Our daughter looks forward to her visits because everyone is so kind. She loves that she got to choose her rubber band colors and choose the retainer colors and a design.

I waited about 30 months to do a review. I just got my braces removed today, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience! The results are amazing—honestly better than I could have asked for. The quality of care and attention throughout the whole process was excellent. The staff is incredibly friendly and supportive, and they really help guide you through every step of your braces journey. They also offer great payment options, which made the process much easier and less stressful. I was honestly pretty scared about getting braces at first, but they made the whole experience comfortable and reassuring. A special thank you to Dr. Arruda and Dr. Chichi for their professionalism, patience, and dedication throughout my treatment. Words truly can’t describe how happy I am with my smile. I’m so grateful for everything they’ve done!

I’ve had such a positive experience with my whole Invisalign journey. After a few years (had a lengthy revision), they set me free today. My bite is now normal and the bonus is I love how my smile looks.

My experience with the team at West Loop Orthodontics has always been excellent. Not "good" but excellent. From my initial consultation through my on going treatment. Whenever I've had an issue they addressed it in a timely fashion, they've been friendly and professional throughout my time with them.
