Why should you have straight teeth? Dr. Moravec has the answer!



Some people wonder why the team at Moravec Orthodontics work so hard to give our patients straight teeth. Of course it’s nice to have a smile full of evenly aligned teeth, but did you know that straightening your teeth can keep them healthier? Straight teeth lead to better oral hygiene, increasing your chances of keeping your own natural teeth for a lifetime.

Straight teeth are less prone to decay, because they collect less plaque – the sticky colorless substance that forms on our teeth and leads to tooth decay; and they are easier to keep clean!

If you’re wondering whether your teeth might cause problems because they are out of alignment, give us a call to set up a consultation. Dr. Moravec and his team can help you decide whether or not you will benefit from orthodontic treatment.

Meet Our Orthodontist

Dr. Moravec truly loves practicing orthodontics. Providing his patients with a great smile that will last a lifetime is exceptionally rewarding. When their faces beam on the day they finish their SureSmile or Invisalign treatment it makes all the hard work worthwhile.

Dr. Moravec has been practicing orthodontics in Plainfield since 1985. His undergraduate collegiate studies were completed at Michigan State University and Dental School at the University of Michigan. He obtained his Master's of Science Degree in Orthodontics from the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Dr. Moravec has been married to his wife, Chandra, even longer than he has been practicing orthodontics. They have two daughters, Maya and Eva. His interests outside of orthodontics include history, travel, aquariums and triathlons. (He has completed five Ironman Triathlons.) In 2007, Dr. Moravec took his love of history to another level by completing his Master's Degree in history at DePaul University.
