Serving Evanston, IL
Orthodontist in Evanston
A specialty-trained orthodontist right in the heart of Evanston. Boutique care, transparent pricing, and appointments that actually start on time.
Your Evanston Orthodontist
Local, specialty-trained, and genuinely accessible
Smile Suite Orthodontics sits on Main St. in Evanston — close to downtown, Northwestern University, and the neighborhoods that make up this community. Dr. Kimberly Mays Smith built the practice around a simple idea: orthodontic care should feel like it was designed around you, not around a schedule built to move as many patients through the door as possible.
That means a real consultation, not a sales pitch. It means appointments that start when they're supposed to. And it means treatment plans that consider your bite, your face, and your airway — not just whether your teeth are straight.

Whole-person evaluation
Dr. Kim looks at your bite, your facial balance, and your airway together — not tooth alignment in isolation — before recommending a plan.

Orthodontist in Evanston — frequently asked questions
Who is the best orthodontist in Evanston, IL?
Smile Suite Orthodontics is led by Dr. Kimberly Mays Smith, a specialty-trained orthodontist based right on Main Street in Evanston. She holds a specialty certificate in orthodontics and maxillofacial orthopedics from Howard University and was featured in Top Docs and Women in Medicine in 2022. The best fit for you comes down to whether her whole-person, personalized approach matches what you're looking for — a free consultation is the best way to find out.
How much does an orthodontist in Evanston cost?
Cost depends on your specific case and choice of treatment, but most comprehensive treatment at Smile Suite falls in a similar range to other specialty orthodontic practices in the Chicago area. Before you commit to anything, we provide the full treatment fee, your insurance benefit, and your exact out-of-pocket cost in writing — no estimates, no surprises.
Does Smile Suite Orthodontics accept walk-ins or same-week appointments?
We can often accommodate new patients within the same week. Because Smile Suite operates as an intentionally boutique practice, scheduling tends to be more flexible than larger multi-chair practices — call (847) 665-1504 and we'll find a time that works.
Is Smile Suite Orthodontics easy to get to from downtown Evanston and Northwestern University?
Yes. Our office is on Main St. in Evanston, a short drive or CTA ride from downtown Evanston, Northwestern University's campus, and the Main Street Purple Line and Metra stops. Free parking is available on-site.
