Your Orthodontist Near Skokie
Close by, and worth the short drive
Smile Suite Orthodontics sits just over the Skokie border in neighboring Evanston — close enough that many of our patients are Skokie families who found us through a friend, a dentist referral, or a quick search for a specialist nearby. 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.
