At ACE Dental Center in Chicago, you can straighten your teeth professionally and confidently while maintaining a polished appearance during treatment.

Enhanced Confidence & Function

A straight, balanced smile impacts every aspect of your life from professional settings in downtown Chicago to social events across the city.

The result is a healthier, more comfortable smile you’ll feel proud to show every day.

Here’s what you can expect at ACE Dental Chicago.
step one
Consultation & Evaluation

He assesses your bite, tooth alignment, and jaw relationship to determine the most effective treatment plan for Chicago adults.

Braces Placement

Once your treatment plan is finalized, brackets are carefully bonded to each tooth and connected with an archwire. The placement appointment typically takes 90–120 minutes at our Chicago office. Dr. Saeed ensures ideal positioning for efficient tooth movement and optimal comfort throughout your orthodontic treatment.

You’ll visit ACE Dental Center in Chicago every 4–8 weeks for progress adjustments. During these visits, Dr. Saeed tightens wires, changes elastics if needed, and monitors alignment improvements. Each appointment brings you closer to your ideal smile. Most adult braces treatments in Chicago last 12–24 months depending on complexity.
