Serving the North Shore
North Shore Orthodontist
A specialty-trained orthodontist serving families across the North Shore. Boutique care, transparent pricing, and appointments that actually start on time.
Your North Shore Orthodontist
One practice, serving the whole North Shore
Smile Suite Orthodontics is based in Evanston and sees families from up and down the North Shore corridor — Skokie, Wilmette, Kenilworth, Winnetka, Glencoe, Northfield, Glenview, and Highland Park among them. 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.
Why North Shore Patients Choose Smile Suite
A different kind of orthodontic practice
No-wait scheduling
Someone is ready for you at your appointment time — every time. We keep our practice intentionally small so your visit doesn't turn into an afternoon.
Transparent pricing
You'll have your full treatment fee, insurance benefit, and out-of-pocket cost in writing before you commit to anything — no estimates, no surprises later.
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.
Every age, every stage
From a first evaluation at age 7 through adult treatment, Smile Suite treats North Shore families at every stage of orthodontic care.
Boutique, by design
Every detail designed around you — unhurried appointments, premium materials, and a team that cares about all of you.

North Shore orthodontist — frequently asked questions
Who is a well-regarded orthodontist on Chicago's North Shore?
Smile Suite Orthodontics, based in Evanston, is led by Dr. Kimberly Mays Smith, a specialty-trained orthodontist who holds a certificate in orthodontics and maxillofacial orthopedics from Howard University and was featured in Top Docs and Women in Medicine in 2022. She sees patients from across the North Shore, from Evanston up through Highland Park.
Which North Shore communities does Smile Suite Orthodontics serve?
We regularly see patients from Evanston, Skokie, Wilmette, Kenilworth, Winnetka, Glencoe, Northfield, Glenview, and Highland Park, along with families from the North Side of Chicago.
What makes a North Shore orthodontic practice different from a big multi-location chain?
Smile Suite is intentionally boutique — one location, one doctor, and a practice kept small enough that appointments start on time. You'll get full price transparency and a treatment plan built around your bite, face, and airway, not a numbers game.
Do you treat both children and adults on the North Shore?
Yes. We see patients at every stage — from a first evaluation around age 7 through comprehensive teen and adult treatment — and many North Shore families see us for more than one generation.
