Dr. Elizabeth Bauer Hite is a board-certified orthodontist with 17 years of experience helping patients achieve healthy, beautiful smiles in Glen Carbon, IL. She specializes in a full range of braces options—including clear braces, metal braces, and Invisalign—as well as advanced treatments like two-phase treatment and airway orthodontics. Dr. Hite's extra training in TMJ and TMD (jaw joint issues) means she looks at the bigger picture of your whole facial health, not just your teeth. She grew up watching her own father practice orthodontics and brings that same family-centered approach to her practice today, treating every patient in a relaxed and caring environment. When she's not in the office, you'll find Dr. Hite involved in her community through volunteer work and enjoying time with her three active children.
