About

Dr. Dr. Jonathan Rakstang practices Orthodontics in Merrillville, Indiana. Comprehensive orthodontic treatment includes metal wires that are inserted into orthodontic brackets, which can be made from stainless steel or a more aesthetic ceramic material.

As an orthodontist, Dr. Rakstang must recognize various characteristics of a malocclusion or dentofacial deformity, define the nature of the problem, including the etiology if possible, and design a treatment strategy based on the specific needs and desires of the patient.
