Our Services

Your orthodontic treatment begins with a detailed examination and careful digital planning process. We evaluate your alignment concerns, bite function, and smile goals before recommending the best treatment option for your needs. Whether you prefer braces or clear aligners, we'll explain every option clearly so you can make an informed decision with confidence.

Enjoy a Straighter Smile With Modern Orthodontic Solutions

If you have crooked teeth, spacing issues, or bite misalignment, orthodontics near St. John can help improve both the appearance and function of your smile. Properly aligned teeth are often easier to clean, may reduce uneven wear, and can support better long-term oral health. At J Michael Krischke DDS, we offer several proven orthodontic solutions to help patients achieve lasting, confident results.

After completing a thorough evaluation of your teeth and jaw alignment, we'll recommend the treatment option best suited to your lifestyle and orthodontic goals. Every smile is unique, which is why we customize each treatment plan to create efficient, predictable progress throughout your care.

We may recommend one of the following orthodontic options:

  • Traditional Braces - Metal braces remain one of the most dependable and effective treatments for correcting mild to severe orthodontic concerns. They provide precise tooth movement and are an excellent solution for patients needing comprehensive alignment correction.
  • Clear Ceramic Braces - Ceramic braces offer the same reliable function as traditional braces while blending more naturally with your teeth. They are ideal for patients who want a less noticeable orthodontic option without sacrificing effectiveness.
  • Invisalign® - Invisalign aligners use clear, removable trays to gradually reposition teeth over time. Because the aligners are removable, patients can continue enjoying their favorite foods while maintaining normal brushing and flossing routines throughout treatment.

Choosing orthodontic treatment is an investment in both your confidence and your oral health. Straighter teeth can improve smile symmetry, support healthier gums, and create a more comfortable bite. Our team is committed to helping you choose the orthodontic solution that fits your needs and lifestyle while guiding you through every step of treatment. Call 219-641-3422 today to learn more about orthodontics near St. John at J Michael Krischke DDS and schedule your 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!
