Buffalo Grove Orthodontics had an incredible day at the LCIA Great Celebrations on August 15 at Mike Rylko Community Park! We were proud to be the exclusive orthodontics sponsor of this wonderful community event celebrating Indian Independence Day and the USA's 250th Independence Day.
Dr. Eltink loved connecting with so many families from Buffalo Grove and the surrounding Northwest Suburbs, and the prize wheel was a huge hit! It was exactly the kind of community moment that reminds us why we have called Buffalo Grove home for over 40 years.
A heartfelt thank you to the Lake County Indians Association and to everyone who stopped by our booth. We look forward to being part of this celebration for years to come!

There's nothing quite like braces off day at Buffalo Grove Orthodontics, and we made this one even more special by inviting the patient's little sister to join in as her assistant, suction and all!
Watching a patient's smile transformation come full circle is one of our favorite parts of the job, and having a proud little sister cheering her on (and helping out) made it even more magical. Moments like these are a reminder of what makes orthodontic care at Buffalo Grove Orthodontics so special: not just the results, but the relationships and family milestones we get to be part of along the way.
Congratulations to our patient on her beautiful new smile! And thanks to her sister for the assist!
At Buffalo Grove Orthodontics, we believe a straight smile is one of the best investments you can make in your overall health. Research shows that oral health is deeply connected to heart health, blood sugar regulation, and inflammation. And crooked teeth make it harder to maintain the oral hygiene that protects you from those risks.
Misaligned teeth can trap bacteria, make it difficult to brush and floss effectively, and over time contribute to gum disease and costly dental work. Invisalign clear aligners address all of this by straightening your teeth discreetly while allowing you to eat what you want and maintain your normal brushing and flossing routine.
Buffalo Grove Orthodontics is a Platinum Invisalign provider. Dr. Eltink has been transforming smiles with Invisalign since 2002 and has the experience to treat complex cases including crossbites, overbites, and underbites that many other practices cannot.
Don't let another year slip by. Come visit our booth at the LCIA Great Celebrations on August 15 at Mike Rylko Community Park from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and find out if Invisalign is right for you or your child.

Did you know Buffalo Grove Orthodontics is the only orthodontic practice in the local area using DentalMonitoring technology? We are excited to show our community what that means in person at our booth at the Lake County Indians Association Great Celebrations this Saturay, August 15, at Mike Rylko Community Park from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
DentalMonitoring allows Dr. Eltink to track every patient's progress virtually through weekly virtual check-ins using a simple app. The result is fewer unnecessary office visits, less missed school and work for the whole family, and treatment that stays on track from start to finish. Dr. Eltink personally reviews every single scan and stays in close contact with patients throughout their entire treatment. More contact, fewer visits!
We have found DentalMonitoring to be the perfect solution for busy families and adults who want exceptional orthodontic care without the constant disruption to their schedule.
Come visit our booth on August 15 to see the technology up close, meet Dr. Eltink and the team, and find out if this is the year your family starts their smile journey. This is a free community event and everyone is welcome! Or, click the button to schedule your free consultation today!
Buffalo Grove Orthodontics received a sweet surprise from the team at the new Vernon Hills Mendocino Farms location, who stopped by the office with a batch of freshly baked cookies to celebrate their grand opening.
Our team, including Mahah and Maricel, was thrilled to welcome them to the neighborhood (and even more thrilled about enjoying the delicious cookies). We're looking forward to trying the rest of their menu.
Welcome to the area, Mendocino Farms!
Today one of our patients brought a little extra warmth to the office: a homemade loaf of banana bread for Dr. Eltink and the Buffalo Grove Orthodontics team.
Small gestures like this one are a wonderful reminder of the relationships we build with our patients over the course of treatment. We're grateful for the thoughtfulness, and even more grateful for the delicious banana bread. Thank you for making our day!
Crossbites, overbites, and underbites are often more complex to treat, and not every provider has the experience to manage them with Invisalign clear aligners. Dr. Eltink is a Platinum Invisalign Provider and has been treating orthodontic patients with Invisalign since 2002, bringing over 20 years of expertise in complex case treatment to every patient at Buffalo Grove Orthodontics.
As the only practice in the area offering DentalMonitoring, we're able to track treatment progress remotely each week during Phase 1 and Comprehensive treatment for children, teens and adults. That means fewer in-office visits, less time away from school or work, and a treatment plan that stays on schedule.
Buffalo Grove Orthodontics is in network with all major PPO dental insurance plans and offers flexible financing to fit your family's budget.

Today, Buffalo Grove Orthodontics celebrated a fun milestone with our patient Claire, who got her braces off and came prepared with her own giant bag of popcorn to celebrate! After years of orthodontic treatment, Claire is finally free of food restrictions and ready to enjoy all her favorite treats again, popcorn included.
Dr. Eltink and our team loved celebrating this exciting moment with Claire. Watching our patients complete their orthodontic journey and reveal their beautiful new smiles is one of the best parts of what we do at Buffalo Grove Orthodontics.
Congratulations, Claire! We're so proud of your smile.

Closing remarks were about to start at the Invisalign Summit in Las Vegas, and our Buffalo Grove Orthodontics crew was still all smiles. Dr. Eltink and several members of our team spent an energizing few days gaining new knowledge on the latest in Invisalign treatment and clear aligner technology, straight from the source.
That knowledge is already headed straight back into our patient care. From new techniques to emerging technology, every conference session gives us more ways to provide the highest standard of orthodontic treatment for our patients.
Thank you to the Invisalign team for a great Summit! We're proud to bring what we learn straight back to the people who matter most, our patients.
Dr. Eltink and some of our team are at the Invisalign Ortho Summit in Las Vegas today through Sunday, learning the latest techniques and technology to bring back to our patients. But even with a packed conference schedule, our commitment to your treatment doesn't pause.
Just minutes before the keynote speaker took the stage, Ashley and Rosalie were squeezing in some DentalMonitoring check ins and appointment scheduling, making sure our patients' treatment stays on track no matter where our team happens to be.
DentalMonitoring allows us to check in on your progress remotely between visits, so small issues get caught early and your treatment timeline doesn't get delayed. It's one of the many ways we make sure your care keeps moving forward, even when we're out learning how to make it even better.
