What Makes Us Unique

We do our best to set our practice apart from the rest. We recognize that every patient has different needs, and we pride ourselves in the considerate service we deliver to each person who walks through our doors.

Professional

• Drs. Lee and Katie Graber are both ABO certified.
  Drs. Graber are certified by the American Board of Orthodontics (ABO), the only orthodontist specialty certifying board recognized by the American Dental Association. This certification is in addition to their licensure as Dental Specialists in Orthodontics by the State of Illinois.
• We stay abreast of the latest technologies and procedures.
  Our staff is comprised of a team of highly qualified health care professionals, who frequently attend continuing education courses to keep up with the latest technologies and procedures in orthodontics. Our support staff is dedicated to our patients—and some of them have been with us for over 20 years!
• We present all options available to the patient.
  We offer many options in orthodontic care, including clear ceramic braces, miniature high-technology metal and cosmetic braces, and Invisalign®. After evaluation, the doctor will present you with all of your possible treatment options, so you may make the best informed choice. We work to match treatment goals with the best therapeutic options.
• We inform you of your progress at your appointments.
  We will keep you up-to-date on you or your child’s progress in your treatment plan. We feel you should be informed and spend time on questions you have.
• We take special care of our adult patients.
  Many of our patients are adults, and we understand the needs and concerns our adult patients have in regards to orthodontic care. We take these into consideration and strive to make adult treatment as comfortable and convenient as possible.

Modern

• We utilize the latest technology in appliances.
  Over the years, technology has changed orthodontics for the better! The orthodontic industry has created newer, smaller, more comfortable appliances that can even reduce treatment time. We are proud to offer the "best in braces," technologically advanced appliances matched to your needs and goals. These include traditional ceramic braces, miniature metal braces, new lower friction appliances as well as Invisalign®.
• All of your diagnostic study records are done in our office.
  We have the ability to do all of your records in-house, which saves the patient from having to make additional appointments to outside laboratories.
• Digital imaging enhances your experience.
  Digital imaging helps you better understand your treatment options and helps the doctor plan the best possible treatment available to you. With X-rays captured digitally, it results in up to 70% less radiation compared to traditional X-rays.
• We are certified in Invisalign® technology and are a Premier Invisalign® practice.
  All doctors in our practice are certified to use Invisalign®! Our premier Invisalign status reflects the number of our patients treated with Invisalign. These active removable appliances straighten teeth without the use of wires or brackets by using a series of clear, customized aligners. Check with us to see if this almost “invisible treatment” is right for you!
• We use the latest sterilization processes.
  Your safety is of the utmost importance to us; therefore, we always sterilize our instruments between every patient and use single-use/disposable items whenever possible.

Fun

• We value and reward clean teeth for our young patients!
  Each month we reward patients for excellence in oral hygiene. Prizes range from blockbuster gift cards, free ice cream, DVD's, MP3 players and more. In addition, if you wear your Graber Orthodontics t-shirt to school or work and then to our office (the one you get when you have your braces placed) you will receive an additional prize!
• We have an interactive learning and gaming center!
  We are remodeling our office to include a computer learning center. We have arcade games with new games to include Sega, Nintendo and PlayStation 2. If you arrive early for your appointment or come with your sibling or friend, there will be fun for you!
• We offer an Internet hook-up and fresh coffee for parents!
  We have an wi-fi for parents and patients to utilize during longer appointments. In addition, for our adult patients and parents we often have fresh Starbucks® coffee on hand for those early morning visits.
