Your Winfield Orthodontist
Razi Orthodontics treats Winfield children, teens and adults with braces, clear braces and Invisalign. Our Wheaton and Naperville offices are both a short drive from Winfield, and every new patient starts with a free consultation with Dr. Kaleem Razi, MSD, an orthodontic specialist who plans and follows each case himself from the first visit to the last.
Orthodontics is all we do, so a consultation here is not a sales appointment. We take records, examine the bite, explain the options and the fee in plain terms, and leave the decision with you. If you are weighing brackets, read about braces; if you would rather avoid them, see Invisalign.

Orthodontic Treatment Options
Crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites and rotated teeth all respond to orthodontic treatment. What changes from patient to patient is the appliance and how long it needs to stay on.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Invisalign uses a series of removable, nearly invisible trays instead of brackets and wires, made from a digital scan rather than putty impressions. Each tray is worn about two weeks before moving to the next, and because the trays only move teeth while they are in, they suit patients who will keep them in. They handle crowding, spacing and mild to moderate bite issues well.
Metal and Clear Braces
Metal braces are the most predictable option and handle almost every case we see, including bite problems that aligners cannot correct on their own. Brackets go on in a single appointment, we adjust them every four to eight weeks, and coloured bands let children and teens personalise them.
Clear braces work the same way but use translucent ceramic brackets that blend with your natural tooth colour, which is why teens and working adults often ask for them. Both are covered in more detail on our Winfield braces page.
Orthodontic Benefits by Age
Orthodontic treatment is not only cosmetic. Straight teeth are easier to clean, an even bite spreads chewing forces properly, and guiding jaw growth early can prevent problems that are much harder to fix later. What treatment aims at, though, changes with age.
Orthodontics for Children
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first check-up by about age seven. At that age most children still have a mix of baby and permanent teeth, which is when crowding, crossbites and jaw growth problems are easiest to guide. Often the answer is simply to monitor growth and check again in a year.
Orthodontics for Teens
Teens are our largest group of patients, and both braces and clear aligners work well once the permanent teeth are in. The practical difference is compliance, since aligners only work while they are worn.
Orthodontics for Adults
Teeth move at any age. Because the jaw is no longer growing, adult treatment focuses on tooth position, and clear braces or aligners keep it discreet through working life. A good share of the Winfield patients we treat are adults.
Cost and Payment Options
What treatment costs depends on the appliance and how long it needs to stay on, so there is no single figure that is honest for every patient. We go through the full fee with you at your free consultation before anything begins, we are in-network with most dental insurance, and we offer payment plans so the fee can be spread across the course of treatment.
You can read more about fees, insurance and what to expect from treatment on our orthodontic care page.
Why Choose Razi Orthodontics
Orthodontics is all we do. Dr. Razi is an orthodontic specialist, which means years of training after dental school devoted entirely to moving teeth and guiding jaw growth, and he handles the planning and the adjustments himself rather than delegating them.
For Winfield families that shows up in practical ways: digital scanning instead of messy impressions, two offices in Wheaton and Naperville that are both a short drive away, siblings and parents frequently treated in the same practice, and one consultation at no charge before you commit to anything. We also coordinate directly with your general dentist so treatment fits the rest of your dental care.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have an office in Winfield?
Our two offices are in Wheaton and Naperville, both a short drive from Winfield, and we treat Winfield families at either one. You can contact us to pick whichever is more convenient.
How much do braces or Invisalign cost?
The fee depends on which appliance you need and how long treatment takes, so we go through it with you at your free consultation rather than quoting a figure online. We are in-network with most dental insurance and offer payment plans.
At what age should my child first see an orthodontist?
By age seven, as the American Association of Orthodontists recommends. Most seven-year-olds need nothing more than monitoring, but that is when crowding and jaw growth problems are easiest to catch.
How long will treatment take?
Most patients are in braces or aligners for somewhere between twelve and thirty months. Minor corrections finish sooner and cases involving jaw alignment take longer; we give you a range at the consultation and update it as your teeth move.
Is Invisalign as effective as braces?
For many cases yes, provided the aligners are worn as prescribed. Braces are still the better choice for some bite and rotation problems, and we will tell you which applies to your case.
