Grayslake Orthodontics

Grayslake Orthodontics is a dedicated orthodontic clinic located at 160 Commerce Dr Ste 101, Grayslake, IL 60030, serving the community with a mission to create beautiful and healthy smiles. The practice is spearheaded by Dr. Ben Youel, a highly trained and experienced orthodontist who is passionate about transforming teeth and bites for patients of all ages, from children to adults. Dr. Youel is known for his personalized approach, ensuring each patient receives a customized treatment plan rather than a "one-size-fits-all" solution. He is bilingual (English and Spanish) and actively volunteers at the Chicago Dental Society Foundation Clinic. The clinic prides itself on offering a comprehensive range of orthodontic services, including: Traditional braces: Utilizing medical-grade stainless steel brackets and wires, these remain a reliable and effective option for various alignment issues, including complex cases. Clear/ceramic braces (3M Clarity Braces) are also available for a more discreet appearance. Clear Aligners: Grayslake Orthodontics is a certified provider of popular clear aligner systems such as Invisalign®, SureSmile, and 3M Clarity Aligners, offering a virtually invisible way to straighten teeth. They use iTero digital imaging for precise impressions and treatment planning. Phase 1 Orthodontics: Early orthodontic treatment for younger patients to address developing issues and guide jaw growth. Dentofacial Orthopedics: Treatment focused on guiding facial and jaw development. Advanced Technologies: The clinic incorporates state-of-the-art tools like iTero digital scanners (eliminating messy putty impressions), soft tissue lasers for gum recontouring and treatment acceleration, and VectorTAS™ Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs) to enhance tooth movement control and potentially reduce treatment time, sometimes eliminating the need for jaw surgery. An on-site dental laboratory helps maintain quality control over appliances and retainers. Retainers & Oral Appliances: Essential for maintaining treatment results. Orthodontic Emergencies: Providing care for unexpected orthodontic issues. Special Needs Orthodontics: Committed to providing comfortable and accessible care for patients with special needs, with staff trained to assist with sensory issues. Grayslake Orthodontics emphasizes a family-friendly and welcoming environment, striving to make the orthodontic journey pleasant and stress-free. They offer flexible hours to accommodate busy schedules and provide virtual consultations for convenience. Understanding that orthodontic treatment is an investment, they offer various flexible payment options, including accepting many dental insurance plans and partnering with third-party financing providers like CareCredit and Wells Fargo Financing for low-to-no interest payment plans. They also offer discounts for patients without insurance or those who pay in full. The clinic is deeply involved in the local community, supporting Grayslake and Lake County's public schools, the Avon Township Food Pantry, and other local causes. Patient testimonials frequently highlight the compassionate and knowledgeable staff, the comfortable experience, and the excellent results achieved by Dr. Youel.
