Experienced dental professionals that work around your schedule. In-network, in-house, and always here when you need us.
Straightening misaligned teeth without metal brackets is now a mainstream option across dentistry, and clear aligner technology has advanced to the point where it can treat a broad range of bite concerns — from mild spacing and crowding to more complex overbites and crossbites. For many adults and teens, the ability to move through treatment without the friction of fixed hardware changes the calculus on whether to pursue orthodontic care at all. According to the American Association of Orthodontists, the number of adults seeking orthodontic treatment has grown substantially in recent years, driven in large part by the availability of removable, aesthetically discreet options.
At Dental Group of Chicago, we offer Invisalign in Chicago’s South Loop as part of a comprehensive, in-house approach to dental care. Our practice holds a top 5% Invisalign provider designation — a recognition that reflects the volume and complexity of cases our team manages each year. We see patients Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and on Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., so you can schedule your consultation around your work week rather than rearranging it.
Invisalign treatment uses a series of custom-made, BPA-free clear aligners that gradually shift your teeth into proper alignment. Each set is worn for approximately one to two weeks before moving to the next in the series. The process begins with digital scans of your teeth — no traditional impressions needed — to generate a 3D treatment map that shows exactly how your teeth will move and what your final result will look like before you begin a single day of treatment.
Because your aligners are removable, you take them out to eat, drink, brush, and floss. This makes maintaining your periodontal health throughout treatment far easier than it is with fixed brackets. You will visit our office periodically so our team can monitor progress and confirm treatment is tracking as planned. Most patients visit every six to eight weeks.
Invisalign effectively addresses a wide range of alignment concerns. Our team will conduct a thorough evaluation during your consultation to determine whether clear aligners are the right approach for your specific bite and lifestyle. You may be a strong candidate if any of the following apply:
Not every case is identical. As a top 5% provider nationally, we have the case volume and clinical experience to develop individualized plans for cases of varying complexity — including those that other offices refer out.
Clear aligner treatment improves more than aesthetics. Correcting misalignment directly supports your long-term oral and systemic health in ways many patients don’t initially consider.
One of the most common misconceptions about clear aligner treatment is that it costs significantly more than traditional braces. In reality, Invisalign is often priced comparably, and the total cost depends primarily on the complexity of your case and the length of treatment.
Dental Group of Chicago is in-network with most major PPO insurance plans — one of our most significant differentiators in Chicago. If your plan includes orthodontic benefits, it may cover a substantial portion of your treatment. FSA and HSA funds are also eligible. For patients who want additional flexibility, we offer in-house financing options to ensure cost is not a barrier to starting care.
Dr. Reznikov completed his dental education at the University of Illinois College of Dentistry and has since accumulated extensive continuing education across multiple dental specialties. His commitment to broadening his clinical scope means patients at Dental Group of Chicago receive comprehensive care — including complex Invisalign cases — without being referred elsewhere.
Raised in the Chicago suburbs, Dr. Reznikov built his practice philosophy around what he calls “unreasonable hospitality”: exceptional care paired with a genuinely welcoming environment. His team offers a comfort menu — heated blankets, a coffee bar, Netflix, eucalyptus wipes, and neck pillows — because the in-office experience matters as much as the clinical outcome.
Getting started is straightforward. Our team will walk you through a digital scan, a full bite evaluation, and a preview of your projected results — all in a single visit. From there, your custom aligners are fabricated and your treatment begins on your schedule.
Dental Group of Chicago is open late on weekdays and Saturdays because we understand your time is valuable. If you are ready to pursue Invisalign treatment in the South Loop or anywhere in Chicago, contact us today to schedule your consultation. Our team is here to make the process easy, effective, and worth every step.
Treatment length depends on the complexity of your case. Many patients complete treatment in six to twelve months, while more involved bite corrections can take twelve to eighteen months. During your consultation, our team will provide an accurate timeline based on your specific needs and the 3D treatment map we generate from your digital scan.
For a wide range of alignment concerns — including crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites — Invisalign is a clinically proven and effective treatment. Some very complex bite corrections may still be better suited to traditional braces, which is why we perform a thorough evaluation before recommending a course of treatment. As a top 5% provider nationally, we have the experience to accurately assess which cases are the best fit for clear aligners.
Most patients experience mild pressure or discomfort for a day or two after switching to a new set of aligners — this is normal and indicates the teeth are moving. There are no metal brackets or wires to cause irritation or require emergency wire repairs, which makes Invisalign generally more comfortable than traditional braces throughout treatment.
Many dental insurance plans that include orthodontic benefits cover Invisalign the same way they cover traditional braces. Dental Group of Chicago is in-network with most major PPO plans, which is a significant differentiator in Chicago. We are happy to review your specific plan and ensure you receive the maximum available benefits. FSA and HSA funds can also be applied toward treatment costs.
Invisalign aligners should be worn for 20 to 22 hours per day to keep treatment progressing on schedule. You remove them only to eat, drink anything other than water, and perform your oral hygiene routine. Consistent wear is the single most important factor in staying on your treatment timeline.
Once your teeth have reached their final position, you will wear custom retainers to maintain your results. This retention phase is essential — without it, teeth naturally tend to shift back toward their original position over time. We fit your retainer in-house and will advise you on a wear schedule tailored to your case.
Yes. From your initial digital scan through your final retainer fitting, every stage of Invisalign treatment at Dental Group of Chicago takes place at our South Loop office. We do not refer Invisalign cases out to orthodontists, which means fewer appointments at multiple locations and a more streamlined path to your results.
Yes. Invisalign offers a Teen version designed specifically for adolescents, including compliance indicators and replacement aligners for active lifestyles. The treatment process, effectiveness, and daily wear requirements are the same as for adults. Our team will evaluate whether Invisalign Teen or standard Invisalign is the better fit during the consultation.
Generic mail-order aligners skip the in-person evaluation, 3D imaging, and ongoing monitoring by a trained provider — all of which are critical for safe, effective treatment. Invisalign is a clinically developed, FDA-cleared system with decades of outcome data across millions of cases. At Dental Group of Chicago, treatment is overseen by a top 5% Invisalign-certified provider at every stage.
Yes, and the consultation is included in your first visit at no obligation.
