What Are Braces?
Braces are dental tools that help correct problems with your teeth, like crowding, crooked teeth, or teeth that are out of alignment. Many people get braces when they’re teenagers, but adults get them too. As you wear them, braces slowly straighten and align your teeth so you have a normal bite. Some people get braces to adjust their smile.
Enjoy Your Visit.
Love Your Smile.

I most enjoy orthodontics because of the relationships that are built with our patients, parents, and patients’ siblings. The orthodontics specialty is unique in the dental field because of the amount of time we spend with patients. During treatment, we hear about their lives and experiences, share in their challenges and accomplishments, and celebrate with them.
I’ve been in practice and serving my community for more than 25 years. I’m now creating beautiful smiles for the children and even the grandchildren of earlier patients. I can’t imagine anything more personally or professionally rewarding!
Becoming an orthodontist and returning to my community was an early dream that came to fruition.
I attended Indiana University as an undergraduate. Then I enrolled at Indiana University School of Dentistry (IUSD), where I graduated summa cum laude with my Doctorate in Dental Surgery in 1988. Following dental school, I enrolled in orthodontic graduate school at IUSD and finished in 1990 with a certificate in orthodontics and Master of Science in dentistry.
I then returned to Elkhart and joined my father’s orthodontic practice. In 1992 I started my own private practice and have been growing ever since. Presently I share time between my offices in Elkhart and Middlebury.
I also work with Shriners Hospitals for Children in Chicago. There, I help patients with cleft lip and palate, as well as others who require jaw surgery.
It is important to me to continue learning and apply what I learn to my practice. This has helped maintain my excitement about practicing after all these years. I feel my ability to diagnose and treat complex orthodontic problems is the best it has ever been, and for this I am thankful.
Orthodontics has evolved greatly in the 25 years I’ve been practicing. We’ve worked hard to incorporate the latest technologies in our office. In addition to becoming an Invisalign® Premier Provider, we’ve brought in 3D scanning and digital X-rays to improve diagnostic and treatment capabilities. We’ve also embraced accelerated treatment and now offer AcceleDent® Aura, which is a comfortable way of speeding up tooth movement.

I grew up in Elkhart and attended Elkhart public schools. My wife Cindy and I met in dental school and share our lives with two dogs and two cats, as well as a menagerie of wildlife that live around our home. Cindy and I enjoy an active lifestyle and continue to explore the world. I like displaying photographs from our travels in our offices.
Cindy and I support many local not-for-profit organizations: the Boys and Girls Club, Samaritan Center, Midwest Museum of American Art, and Dollars for Scholars, to name but a few. As a life-long resident of Elkhart County, it is important for me to give back to my community.
Dr. Amine Fattal is a highly skilled and passionate orthodontist with a Bachelor's in Dental Surgery from Beirut Arab University and specialized training in Orthodontics from the University of Louisville School of Dentistry. He chose dentistry because it combines science and art, and orthodontics allows him to be creative in creating beautiful smiles.
Outside of the office, Dr. Fattal enjoys playing the guitar, participating in sports such as tennis, pickleball, and basketball. Growing up, Dr. Fattal was an avid fan of the Chicago Bulls, and his enthusiasm for the team remains strong.
For Dr. Fattal, dentistry was not just a choice; it chose him. However, he specifically chose to specialize in orthodontics because it combines both science and art. With extensive experience, lifelong learning, and a keen eye for detail, Dr. Fattal believes that orthodontics offers a unique opportunity for creativity in treatment planning and execution. Just as an artist learns and applies fundamental techniques before grasping the bigger picture, Dr. Fattal applies a similar approach to creating beautiful smiles. He considers it a challenging yet rewarding process that requires dedication, continuous study, and a commitment to excellence.
