Olson Orthodontics: Lauren Hood-Olson, DMD

How often do adults outnumber teens in the waiting area of an orthodontic office? At Olson Orthodontics: Lauren Hood-Olson, DMD, mixed dentition, clear aligners and lingual brackets bring all ages through the same front door. This practice bridges the gap between pediatric and adult orthodontics without the usual split clinics or separate entrances.

The clinic occupies a storefront at 741 W State St #2, O’Fallon, IL 62269, close enough to the Illinois Wesleyan corridor for quick drop-ins after work. Braces, retainers, Invisalign and space maintainers share the same floor plan; no need to shuttle between buildings simply because the treatment plan changes.

If you call to check availability or swap an appointment, the front desk answers directly: (618) 624-0800. Lingering doubts about lingual hardware or ceramic brackets? A brief conversation can clarify torque, wear times and follow-up intervals without a lecture or sales gloss.

Parking along State Street is ample until after five; when the lot fills, the rear lane offers overflow. The office accepts walk-ins for consults; otherwise, set your route early with the map so you don’t circle the block.
