Our Services

Every orthodontic treatment starts with a detailed evaluation and careful planning process.

Improve Your Smile With Customized Orthodontic Care

If you are dealing with crowded teeth, gaps between teeth, or bite alignment concerns, orthodontics near Merrillville can help create a healthier, more attractive smile. Properly aligned teeth not only enhance your appearance but can also improve comfort, support better oral hygiene habits, and reduce strain on certain areas of your bite. At J Michael Krischke DDS, we provide customized orthodontic solutions designed to fit your needs, lifestyle, and long-term smile goals.

Following a thorough evaluation of your teeth and jaw alignment, we'll recommend the treatment option best suited to your situation. Whether you are looking for a more traditional orthodontic approach or a discreet modern solution, our team will guide you through every step of the process and ensure you feel informed and confident about your care.

We may recommend one of the following orthodontic options:

  • Traditional Braces - Metal braces remain one of the most effective and reliable ways to treat mild to complex orthodontic concerns. They use durable brackets and wires to gradually guide teeth into proper alignment and are a trusted option for patients of all ages.
  • Clear Ceramic Braces - Ceramic braces work similarly to traditional braces but feature tooth-colored materials that blend in more naturally with your smile. They are a popular option for teens and adults who want a more discreet orthodontic treatment while still achieving dependable results.
  • Invisalign® - Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gently move teeth into position over time. These aligners are comfortable, nearly invisible, and easy to remove for meals, brushing, and flossing, making them a convenient solution for many patients.

A straighter smile can positively impact both your confidence and your long-term oral health. Correcting alignment concerns may help reduce uneven wear on teeth, improve bite balance, and make daily brushing and flossing more effective. Our team is committed to helping you select the orthodontic treatment that best matches your goals, comfort level, and routine so you can enjoy lasting results. Call 219-641-3422 today to learn more about orthodontics near Merrillville at J Michael Krischke DDS and schedule your personalized consultation.

I absolutely love this office. Everyone I interact with (office ladies, dental hygienists, and the dentist) are friendly and kind. I've had the pleasure of seeing Ann twice now. I feel lucky to be her patient. She is patient and a joy to be around. I have always felt nervous going to the dentist, but with Ann I feel safe and enjoy my time. Her work is amazing - I leave with my teeth feeling clean and smooth. Thanks so much to everyone here, and a special thanks to Ann!

The staff and Dr. Krischke are excellent. All 4 kids and myself all with clean teeth and no cavities. We have gone here since 2017 and I can't imagine going anywhere else. They even saved my son's molar late at night when it was knocked out. We all love coming!
