Services
Damon Braces
Damon Braces use self-ligating technology to straighten teeth with greater comfort and fewer adjustments. These metal or clear brackets apply gentle forces through high-tech wires to achieve optimal alignment. Patients benefit from shorter treatment times and reduced discomfort compared to traditional braces.
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment uses custom-made, removable aligners to gradually shift teeth into proper position. This discreet alternative to braces allows for easy eating and cleaning while delivering precise tooth movements. Treatment includes regular check-ups and replacement aligners every few weeks.
Early Treatment
Early orthodontic intervention addresses developing bite issues in children around age 7. This phase guides jaw growth and creates space for permanent teeth, preventing more complex problems later. Treatment may include palatal expanders or partial braces to correct crossbites and overcrowding.
Retainers
Retainers maintain teeth positions after active orthodontic treatment. We offer removable Hawley retainers and fixed bonded retainers to ensure long-term stability. Proper retention prevents relapse and preserves your investment in a straight, healthy smile through regular follow-up appointments.
Teeth Whitening
GLO Professional Whitening delivers dramatic results using patented light technology and desensitizing gel. This in-office treatment brightens smiles up to five shades in one visit without trays or impressions. The process takes about an hour with immediate visible improvement in tooth coloration.

Hands down the best Orthodontist experience I have ever had. This was for my 9 year old. I myself had braces as a child and it was miserable experience. I know orthodontics have come a long way since then, however Dr. Prose and his staff were amazing and welcoming. Don't believe me? Make that appointment and be ready to be impressed. Thank you.

Loving my new smile and all of the Prose Orthodontics team. From the very start, you are made to feel like family and they would go the extra mile for you, and they do. Dr. Prose, his office team, and assistants did a great job staying in touch during the COVID shutdown, made sure I was able to keep up with my aligners and continued to follow my progress through virtual visits. Once I moved, they negotiated with a local practitioner to take scans and accommodated both my son an myself for our visits when we could visit. I can share enough of the amazing treatment my whole family received from, Dr. Prose, Melanie, Linda, Pauline and everyone at the St Charles office.

I want to start out by saying how friendly the staff was from the very first phone call! As a person in a similar industry, customer service is one of those things I pay close attention to. Once I got to the office I was impressed with how efficiently they run their office! Everyone their had a specific responsibility and it was executed to perfection in my opinion! Everything was explained to me in detail, and I knew exactly what was needed before I walked out the door! I would absolutely recommend that if you or a family member need orthodontic treatment, Dr. Prose and his team are who you need to go to!

So happy we found Prose Orthodontics after we moved to St. Charles. Not only is it convenient, the employees are the Best! Our oldest daughter just finished Invisalign, and her smile is gorgeous. Our other daughter just started her journey with braces, and they've made us so confident in their care. Dr. Prose and Pauline are so thorough with information about treatment. With two more kids that will need braces, I'm glad this is where they'll get their smiles!
