Why Hammond Families Choose Boller Orthodontic Arts
Hammond patients deserve more than rushed orthodontics. Here’s why families from your community trust us:
Specialist-Trained Expertise
Dr. Boller earned her dental degree and then completed multi-specialty post-doctoral training in orthodontics beyond dental school. That advanced education means she handles everything from straightforward alignment to complex jaw and airway cases, drawing on years of focused clinical practice rooted in Northwest Indiana for over two decades.
Patients also appreciate that the practice keeps everything under one roof. Hammond families won’t get bounced between offices for different parts of treatment. From a child’s first evaluation to adult Invisalign to TMJ therapy, full care happens in one location with the same trusted team you’ve come to know.
Modern Technology
3D scanners and digital X-rays let Dr. Boller plan your treatment precisely. No goopy impressions, no guesswork, just clearer images and clearer answers about what your teeth need.
Pricing is handled openly from your very first visit. Costs are discussed upfront, payment plans are available to fit your household budget, and you’ll never face surprise fees on the back end of treatment. The Dyer practice is also easy to reach from Hammond, with appointment times that work for busy families juggling work, school, and life.
Personal Attention
As a female-owned, true private practice rooted in community for over two decades, we’re independently run. Dr. Boller knows her patients by name, remembers the small details about their lives, and personally adjusts each plan as treatment unfolds rather than handing care off to a rotating staff.

Frequently Asked Questions from Hammond Patients
How much do braces cost in Hammond, IN?
Treatment costs depend on your specific needs, the type of braces you choose, and how long treatment takes. Braces in our area typically range from a lower to higher bracket, with Invisalign falling in a similar range. Boller Orthodontic Arts provides a detailed cost breakdown during your free consult. Payment plans are available, and the practice works with many insurance providers to make treatment affordable for Hammond families.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Most Invisalign cases take 12 to 24 months, though your timeline depends on the complexity of your alignment needs. Dr. Boller will give you a realistic estimate after evaluating your teeth and bite during your first evaluation.
At what age should my child see an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. At this age, Dr. Boller can spot developing issues with jaw growth or tooth alignment. Early treatment isn’t always necessary, and she’ll give you an honest assessment of what’s truly beneficial for your child.
Do you accept insurance and offer payment plans?
Yes to both. The practice is in-network with many insurance providers and will help you maximize your benefits. For any remaining balance, flexible payment plans are available so nothing stands between you and the smile you deserve.
What’s the difference between Invisalign and ULAB aligners?
Both are clear, removable aligner systems that straighten teeth discreetly. Invisalign is the most widely recognized brand with extensive research behind it. ULAB offers another quality custom aligner option. During your consult, Dr. Boller will explain which system fits your case best based on your specific alignment needs.
Do you treat adults as well as kids and teens?
Absolutely. A significant share of orthodontic patients today are adults. If you missed out on braces as a teenager or your teeth have shifted with age, treatment can still produce excellent results at any stage of life. Discreet options like Invisalign work well for adults at the office or out with friends.
