Orthodontic Associates, Ltd: Orthodontics & Dentofacial Orthopedics

Straightening teeth and guiding jaw growth aren’t the same thing—though they often get lumped together. Orthodontic Associates, Ltd: Orthodontics & Dentofacial Orthopedics handles both, treating everything from crowding and spacing issues to skeletal discrepancies that shape a face. The practice sits at 19815 Governors Hwy #1 in Flossmoor, a south-suburban strip where the sidewalks stay quiet and the oaks stay tall. Braces, clear aligners, early interceptive care, and surgical-orthodontic prep are all on the menu; so are retainers and phase-two treatments for kids who outgrow their first set of hardware.

Most folks find the office without trouble, but if the turn onto Governors Highway throws you, pull up the map: directions are here. When it’s time to schedule or ask about elastics vs. springs, dial (708) 799-0060. Flossmoor itself feels like a pocket of old Chicago suburbs—wide lawns, brick ranch houses, and a Main Street that still has a hardware store with a creaky wooden floor.
