Under the care of Dr. Mladen Kralj, one of Chicago’s and the nation’s most experienced Invisalign providers, each treatment is tailored to your unique facial anatomy, your bite, and your aesthetic vision. And for those who value time, we offer something no other provider in downtown Chicago does … accelerated treatment
______ WHAT IS INVISALIGN?
The discreet path to a naturally beautiful and aligned smile.
Invisalign is the world's most advanced clear aligner system, replacing traditional metal braces with a series of custom-fabricated, near-invisible removable aligners. Each set is precision-engineered to apply gentle, controlled forces to your teeth — gradually guiding them into their ideal positions with remarkable predictability.
Unlike conventional orthodontics, Invisalign aligners are removed for eating and your daily oral care rituals — preserving both your smile and your quality of life throughout treatment. There are no brackets to irritate soft tissue, no dietary restrictions, and no appointments for wire adjustments.
At ORA, Invisalign begins with Dr. Kralj's signature N.I.S.E. Method — Non-Invasive Smile Enhancement — in which advanced digital scanning, AI-driven treatment planning, and an uncompromising aesthetic eye converge to design an outcome that is not merely straight, but beautifully, naturally you.
The result: a confident, refined smile — achieved with the discretion and comfort a discerning patient deserves.

Accelerate with light
Available exclusively at ORA, OrthoPulse photobiomodulation technology can reduce your total treatment time by up to 50%, and make treatment more comfortable. The only provider offering this innovation in downtown Chicago.
Six reasons Chicagoans choose Invisalign clear aligners.
01
Virtually invisible
Clear, custom-fitted aligners are nearly imperceptible during wear — allowing you to smile, speak, and present with total confidence throughout your treatment. No one will know.
04
Comfortable to wear
Without brackets, wires, or sharp edges, Invisalign is significantly more comfortable than traditional braces. Most patients adapt within 48 hours of starting each new aligner stage.
02
Removable by design
Aligners come out for meals, for special occasions, and for your luxury oral care ritual. Live your life without compromise — then simply reinsert and continue your journey.
05
Preview your outcome
Before a single aligner is fabricated, Dr. Kralj uses the iTero intraoral scanner and Invisalign Outcome Simulator to show you a 3D preview of your projected result. See your smile, make adjustments in real time, then decide.
03
Precision engineered
Each aligner is fabricated using proprietary SmartTrack® material and designed with Align Technology's AI treatment planning. The result is more predictable, more precise tooth movement.

THE REVEAL
06 Final result & retention
Dr. Kralj meets with you to understand your treatment goals, evaluate your bite, and determine your candidacy for Invisalign. This conversation is as much about what you envision as it is about what is clinically ideal. A personalized treatment length and fee estimate is provided the same day.
A fast, comfortable iTero intraoral digital scan replaces traditional messy impressions. The scan feeds directly into the Invisalign Outcome Simulator - rendering a 3D visualization of your projected post-treatment smile. You preview your results before treatment begins.
Align Technology's global facilities precision-fabricate your custom aligner series - typically a full set of trays spanning your entire treatment plan. Each aligner incrementally advances tooth position with micro-precision, following Dr. Kralj's clinically refined treatment prescription.
For patients selecting accelerated treatment, we introduce the OrthoPulse device — 10 minutes per day of photobiomodulation light therapy worn over your aligners at home. This FDA-cleared technology stimulates bone remodeling to facilitate up to 50% faster tooth movement.
Dr. Kralj monitors your progress at key intervals — with fewer visits than traditional orthodontics requires. Remote monitoring via the My Invisalign app keeps you connected between appointments, ensuring optimal tracking and allowing Dr. Kralj to intervene precisely when needed.
When your final aligner is removed, you will see — and feel — the culmination of your smile investment. Custom retainers are provided to preserve your result. Many patients choose to combine Invisalign outcomes with ORAesthetik's 3D printed porcelain veneers for a comprehensive aesthetic transformation.
______ ACCELERATED INVISALIGN
OrthoPulse
Faster by design.
Gentler by science.
Straightening your teeth does not have to mean long treatment time. At ORA Dr. Kralj offers the only OrthoPulse-enhanced Invisalign program in downtown Chicago — a meaningful clinical advantage for patients who value their time as much as their smile.
OrthoPulse is an FDA-cleared device that harnesses the power of photobiomodulation — near-infrared light therapy — to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement. Worn for just 10 minutes per day over your Invisalign aligners, OrthoPulse delivers near-infrared light that penetrates the gingiva and bone, to make tooth movement more efficient.
The clinical outcome: treatment that may be completed up to 50% faster and with greater comfort.

_____ WHY CHOOSE INVISALIGN?
Is Invisalign right for you?
Invisalign is the most versatile clear aligner system available, addressing a broad spectrum of orthodontic concerns. During your complimentary consultation, Dr. Kralj will evaluate your specific anatomy. Here is a guide to what Invisalign can address.
Crowding
Overcrowding occurs when there is insufficient space in the jaw for teeth to sit properly. Invisalign creates space through expansion and gently guides crowded teeth back into ideal alignment, without the need for tooth extraction.
Overbite & underbite
Invisalign treats bite related issues — including overbites, where upper teeth overlap lower teeth, and underbites, where lower teeth sit forward of upper teeth. Correcting bite irregularities protects enamel and improves long-term dental health.
Open bite
When upper and lower front teeth do not make contact when biting, speech and chewing are affected. Invisalign addresses open bite cases with carefully calibrated aligner movements, improving both function and aesthetics.
Spacing
Gaps between teeth can be aesthetic concerns or signs of bite discrepancies. Invisalign effectively closes spaces of varying degrees, producing a more harmonious, contiguous smile line without permanent alteration of tooth structure.
Crossbite
A crossbite occurs when some upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth rather than outside. Invisalign's precision engineering can address crossbite cases that previously required more invasive orthodontic interventions.
Pre-veneer alignment
Many of ORAesthetik's patients choose Invisalign as a preparatory step before 3D printed porcelain veneers. Aligning teeth first allows for the most conservative, minimal-reduction veneer placement — the philosophy at the heart of the N.I.S.E. method.
