Your Evanston IL Orthodontist
Dr. Kimberly Mays Smith grew up in Little Rock with a passion for helping others. From a young age, Dr. Kim has understood the value of family and serving others.
This led her to pursue a career in orthodontics. Ever since she opened her practice, Dr. Kim has been bringing healthy, beautiful smiles to her community.
Dr. Kim is an accomplished specialist with almost 20 years of dental and orthodontic experience.
Tired of the strictly clinical environments offered by many dental practices, she purchased her existing practice in Evanston, IL to offer quality, compassionate orthodontic care to all of her patients.
A consummate professional, Dr. Kim is a life-long learner, always current with the latest advancements in her field and staying ahead of any new technology and trends.
This commitment to excellence is just a small way she exhibits her dedication to maintaining the highest standard of patient care.
Evanston IL Braces
Traditional braces are one of the most efficient orthodontic tools we have. They're made out of metal or ceramic brackets that are attached to the teeth, then connected by wires and tiny rubber bands or elastics. These brackets, wires, and bands work together to apply the gentle pressure that will gradually move the teeth into the positions we want them to be in if you have regular adjustments with our doctors.
Evanston braces are an excellent choice for correcting complex tooth issues. Because they can sometimes work faster at aligning teeth and closing gaps than other treatments might, overall treatment time may be slightly reduced. Braces don't need some of the more complex technology or expensive equipment that newer treatments can, making Evanston braces a cost-effective orthodontic option.
Evanston IL Invisalign
Invisalign is incredibly popular with both patients and orthodontists and is the top alternative to traditional braces. Instead of brackets and bands, the Evanston Invisalign system uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten your teeth.
Invisalign aligners are made of a comfortable plastic material and customized to fit snugly over your teeth. In order to keep your teeth moving in the direction you want them to, you'll generally need to switch your invisible trays out every 1-2 weeks for the next in the series. The Invisalign system can only work if the recommended guidelines are followed exactly! Aligners should be worn 20-22 hours per day throughout treatment. If patients neglect to wear the aligners as directed, it can impede the results and also add time to the orthodontic process.
Invisalign is at its most efficient when correcting many of the most common orthodontic issues. For some complex cases, Invisalign may not be a good option. A free consultation with Smile Suite Orthodontics will allow us to determine your Invisalign eligibility.
