The practice offers traditional metal braces, clear ceramic braces and clear-aligner treatment, including Invisalign and Angel Aligners, along with early orthodontic treatment and other individualized orthodontic services.

West County Orthodontics Serves the St. Louis Region
West County Orthodontics has deep roots in the area. According to the practice, its Chesterfield team has served West County families for more than 50 years, with its history dating to 1969. Today, the practice serves patients from Chesterfield, Ballwin, Ellisville, Wildwood, Town and Country, and other communities throughout West St. Louis County and the Greater St. Louis region.
Board-certified orthodontists Dr. Feras Al Khatib and Dr. Achint Utreja lead the practice.
Dr. Al Khatib has more than 20 years of orthodontic experience spanning the United States, Europe, and the Middle East. In addition to treating patients, he serves as a program director and faculty member in orthodontic education at Southern Illinois University. His experience includes conventional orthodontics and clear-aligner systems such as Invisalign and Angel Aligner.
Dr. Utreja is also a board-certified orthodontist, educator, and researcher. He is a professor at Southern Illinois University and holds a Ph.D. in bone biology. His work combines clinical orthodontics, education, and research as he treats children, teenagers, and adults.
The combination of clinical practice and academic involvement connects the Chesterfield office to both everyday patient care and ongoing developments in the orthodontic profession.
Braces, Invisalign and Clear Aligner Options
West County Orthodontics offers several treatment options tailored to a patient’s orthodontic condition, age, preferences, and treatment goals.
Traditional metal braces remain available for patients who need fixed orthodontic treatment. The practice also offers clear ceramic braces for patients who want fixed braces with less noticeable brackets.
For appropriate patients seeking a removable alternative, the practice provides Invisalign and Angel Aligners. Clear-aligner treatment uses a series of removable trays designed to progressively move teeth according to an orthodontist-developed treatment plan.
West County Orthodontics also treats adults, including people seeking orthodontic care for shifting teeth, bite changes, relapse following previous orthodontic treatment or alignment before other dental procedures. Its adult treatment options include clear aligners, ceramic braces, and modern low-profile metal braces.
Children can also be evaluated for early orthodontic treatment when appropriate. Early evaluations can help orthodontists monitor developing teeth, jaw growth, spacing and bite relationships before all permanent teeth have erupted.
Technology Supports Individual Treatment Planning
West County Orthodontics says its Chesterfield office uses digital X-rays and intraoral scanning technology as part of its diagnostic and treatment-planning process.
Digital scanning creates detailed representations of a patient’s teeth without relying solely on conventional dental impressions. Those images can help orthodontists evaluate tooth position and develop treatment plans, including plans involving clear aligners.
The practice says it intentionally limits the number of patients scheduled each day so its doctors and team can devote more attention to individual patients. Its Chesterfield office includes dedicated spaces for new-patient examinations and digital imaging as well as areas for bracket placement, aligner fittings and routine follow-up visits.

Supporting Locally Based Businesses and Professionals
Adding West County Orthodontics reflects STL’s broader mission. Directory: helping consumers discover businesses, professionals, and service providers operating throughout the St. Louis metropolitan area.
Locally focused directories can play an important role in connecting residents with companies and professionals within their own communities. Instead of relying exclusively on large national directories, STL.Directory provides a St. Louis-focused platform covering restaurants, healthcare providers, professional services, contractors, and other businesses serving the region.
Detailed listings also give businesses an opportunity to provide consumers with more context than a basic name-and-phone-number entry.
For healthcare and professional services, that additional information can be especially useful because consumers often want to know who operates a practice, what services are available, where the office is located, and where to find more information before making contact.
