Orthodontist in Buffalo Grove Offering Invisalign & Braces for Kids, Teens & Adults
Dr. Eltink, Orthodontist & Owner of Buffalo Grove Orthodontics, provides modern orthodontic care with shorter treatment times, fewer office visits, efficient scheduling, and flexible payment options designed for busy lives.
Buffalo Grove Orthodontics, formerly Weintraub & Eltink Orthodontics, has been serving patients and families in
Buffalo Grove, Illinois and the surrounding area including Wheeling, Arlington Heights, Long Grove, and Palatine
for over four decades. Dr. Eltink provides personalized orthodontic care for children, teens, and adults - from
a child's first Orthodontic Evaluation at age 7, all the way
through Comprehensive Treatment, Retainers, and
Professional Teeth Whitening.
Whether you are considering Invisalign, Braces, or other
orthodontic services, Dr. Eltink, and our Orthodontic Team, are here to help you or your
child achieve a healthy, confident smile in a way that fits your lifestyle. We believe in recommending treatment
only when it is truly needed, and we will always be honest with you about what that looks like for you or your
child.
The Only Practice in the Area Using DentalMonitoring
At Buffalo Grove Orthodontics, we are proud to be the only orthodontic practice in the area using DentalMonitoring, an advanced virtual monitoring system that allows Dr. Eltink to closely track every patient's progress between office visits through weekly at-home scans.
What that means for you:
- Fewer, more productive in-office appointments
- Less time away from school and work
- Timely adjustments made before small issues become bigger ones
- Weekly oversight that keeps treatment on track from start to finish
- Direct access to Dr. Eltink through the DentalMonitoring app throughout treatment
For Invisalign patients in particular, DentalMonitoring is a game changer. Invisalign
aligner changes at Buffalo Grove Orthodontics are guided by real-time scan data. Dr. Eltink advises you to
advance to your next set of Invisalign aligners as soon as your scans confirm your teeth are ready, not
according to a fixed calendar schedule. Many Invisalign patients go as long as 6 to 9 months between in-office
visits while receiving consistent, close oversight every single week.
DentalMonitoring is used for all of our Invisalign, Braces, Phase 1, and Observation Monitoring patients. More
contact, fewer office visits. It is the smarter way to do orthodontics.
Treatment Options for Every Stage of Life
Smiles at 7: First Orthodontic Evaluation

Not every child who visits an orthodontist needs immediate treatment. Our no-charge Observation Monitoring program uses DentalMonitoring to track your child's jaw growth, tooth eruption, and development monthly from home. Dr. Eltink personally reviews every scan, so nothing is ever missed and orthodontic treatment can start at precisely the right time.
Learn About Observation MonitoringPhase 1 Early Orthodontic Treatment
For some children, timely early intervention can make a profound difference. Phase 1 treatment addresses jaw and bite concerns while the bones are still growing, often leading to shorter, simpler treatment later on. We only recommend it when it will truly matter.
Learn About Phase 1 TreatmentComprehensive Orthodontic Treatment
Comprehensive Treatment corrects all orthodontic concerns and achieves ideal alignment and bite function. Well-aligned teeth are healthier, require less restorative dental work, and are more likely to last a lifetime. Comprehensive Treatment is available for kids, teens and adults with Invisalign or Braces.
