Detailed Introduction
Hage Orthodontics is a well-regarded orthodontic clinic with a primary location in Mattoon, Illinois, and another in Decatur, Illinois. Previously, they also operated in Cortland and Ithaca, New York. The practice is led by Dr. Michael N. Hage, D.D.S., who is a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics. This certification signifies his commitment to the highest standards of knowledge and clinical skill in the field.
The clinic provides a wide array of orthodontic services for both children and adults. For younger patients, they emphasize early evaluation, typically between ages 6 and 8, to assess eruption sequence, habits, and general bite considerations, with intervention only when necessary. For adult patients, Hage Orthodontics offers aesthetic options like clear braces (Invisalign®) and tooth-colored wires to make treatment comfortable and convenient.
Beyond traditional braces, their services include specialized treatments such as mini-braces (30% smaller than traditional braces for enhanced comfort and discretion), correction of cleft lip and palate, and surgical orthodontics to address skeletal problems like bad bites, jaw bone abnormalities, and malocclusion. They also offer orthognathic surgery (corrective jaw surgery) for more complex cases involving facial bone abnormalities that can affect chewing, talking, or sleeping, aiming to improve both function and facial profile.
Hage Orthodontics is committed to providing a positive patient experience, emphasizing excellent customer service, and a friendly, highly trained, and experienced staff. They offer financial flexibility with various payment options, including interest-free in-house financing and family discounts. They also assist patients with insurance claims. The clinic prides itself on staying up-to-date with the latest advancements in orthodontics and employing cutting-edge procedures while maintaining a warm and inviting atmosphere. Patient testimonials frequently highlight Dr. Hage's dedication, perfectionism, and sociable nature, as well as the competence and friendliness of his staff.
