The Short, Simple Drive Moline Families Count On
A trusted orthodontist shouldn’t be buried behind a maze of busy streets. Our Le Claire office sits just a quick, low-stress drive from Moline, serving as the primary hub for patients looking for an orthodontist in the Quad Cities — hop on I-74 across the river and connect to I-80, or take Route 92 along the Mississippi, and you’ll be parked before you know it.
No stop-and-go gridlock. No circling the block for a space. Just easy, on-time visits that fit between work, carpools, and weeknight practices. For families in Moline and the Quad Cities who’d rather not lose an afternoon to traffic, this short hop across the river pays off every time.
Care from a Doctor Who Grew Up Right Here
When you pick Wainwright Orthodontics, you’re choosing a doctor with real ties to this community. Dr. Brandon Wainwright is a proud Quad Cities native, and his love for orthodontics first took root during his years in the Riverdale School system in Port Byron.
He spent six years serving in the National Guard, earned his orthodontic degree, then came back home to care for the same neighbors he grew up beside. That bond shows up in everything we do: clear, honest advice, zero ego, and a true commitment to treating you like family — because to us, that’s exactly what you are.

Frequently Asked Questions
I live in Moline — is the drive to Le Claire really that simple?
It is. Our Le Claire office is just a short drive from Moline and the surounding Quad Cities, whether you cross over on I-74 and link to I-80 or follow Route 92 along the river. You’ll steer clear of downtown bottlenecks and pull right into easy parking at the door. Many Moline families tell us the trip feels quicker than fighting across town — and the honest, relaxed care makes it more than worth it.
Can you work around my child's school day?
Absolutely. We know Moline families keep full calendars, especially with Moline High School students balancing classes, sports, and activities. Our flexible scheduling makes it easy to grab a spot soon after the last bell, so treatment fits into your routine instead of disrupting it. The short drive also means less time pulled away from school, work, and practice.
Do you accept insurance, and what does a consultation cost?
Your first visit is completely free — and completely pressure-free. Our welcoming team will help you understand your insurance benefits and get the most from your coverage, then walk you through clear, upfront pricing with payment options built for real-world budgets. No hidden fees, no surprises, and never any pressure to begin treatment you don’t actually need.
Do you offer flexible payment plans for Moline families?
Yes. We know that families in Moline and the surrounding Quad Cities area need options that fit their household budgets. We offer customizable, interest-free in-house financing, low monthly payment plans, and zero-down payment options. We also accept most major dental insurance plans and will handle all the paperwork to maximize your orthodontic benefits.
At what age should my child first see a Quad Cities orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. While most kids won’t need immediate treatment, early interceptive care allows us to monitor jaw growth and guide permanent teeth into place naturally, often preventing more invasive procedures or tooth extractions later in life.
