We toured several options and found them to be focused on sales and operated more like a machine churning kids in and out of appointments. Braces Boutique is not like that - it is family run and feels personalized. 3 kids later, I feel compelled to write about our wonderful experience. Dr Paul and team are 100% fabulous and I appreciated his honest approach to potential issues, when appropriate he had a "let's wait and see" attitude rather than jumping to a drastic intervention. His patient approach saved us from needing to pull teeth for kid #1 that the competition had recommended. Very satisfied and we wish the family all the best and success as they continue to grow in Oak Park!

My daughter has a pretty complicated case including missing some adult teeth and also having a couple transposed teeth that didn't want to come down. Add on dental anxiety and a girl entering high school not wanting braces for the second time, and well, you can understand how tough it might be to handle. Dr. Polivka called me and talked for a very long time, re: game plan, talked with our dentist, figured out a two step plan to minimize time in braces, and fill in gaps as we progressed. He's available via text and has been so responsive. I know our case isn't easy, and my daughter is not the happiest when she is there, but I've been so pleased with the practice. We are smack in the middle of our experience and I'm really looking forward to the end product!

We have a GREAT pediatirc dentist in the city who recco'd Novick when we moved to Oak Park. We still go to the dentist in the city because she's THAT good. And now we won't go to a different pediatric orthodontist here because Dr Novick is also THAT good. In addition to being top notch with state of the art equipment and a great examchair-side manner, the staff is ALWAYS kind and accommodating. Further, they have some technology/care I've never seen before. Friday night my daughter had a band come off one of her braces. It didn't seem like anything major, but I'm not an orthodontist so I called the office after hours. I left a message explaining that I didn't know if it was an emergency or not figuring I might get a call in the morning. As soon as I hung up I got a form text asking what my needs were with a link to their website. Cool. I thought maybe I could take a picture and send it. But before I could do that, Dr Novick herself called to assist me. She said a photo would be great so I texted her a close up and she called me right back and explained what to do. VERY impressed with Novick Orthodontics. -- Full disclosure: The place in the city is Growing Smiles and our dentist is Dr Kristin. Fuller disclosure: We are not the only family to make the trip all the way to Chicago. Fullest disclosure: No, seriously. * Turns out I could just cut out the broken part of the band with nail clippers and now I'm practically an orthodontist. ** ** No, not really anything close to an orthodontist.

Nudera offers a discount to two or more patients in the same household, so I got my braces a month before my daughter finished. This is my second time wearing braces. My initial service was in 2005-2007. Well, about 10 years ago, the permanent retainer on my upper teeth broke off on the right side, and slowly my teeth shifted to the point that I was unhappy with my smile. After two years of witnessing my daughter's transformation, I asked for a quote to repair my upper teeth. I received an affordable quote for payment over six months. I was thrilled that I wouldn't be in braces again for a very long time. And I'm super happy with the Nudera office. They have ample availability, are always timely, the office staff greets and anticipates your arrival and needs, it's always clean, and they use the newest technology. I was thrilled to have found such an efficient orthodontist and staff. My teeth are taking shape the way that I had hoped and I'm looking forward to being braces-free in February.

We met with Tracy for a tour of their beautiful clinic and then a patient education session regarding the types of treatments offered and the process of the consultation. My son then got a X-ray. Then we met with Dr. Jim Nudera for the examination -very comprehensive- and learned that my son doesn't require intervention after all! Dr. Nudera explained everything in great detail and showed both my son and I the reason for the dentist's concern and how the issue doesn't require orthodontics. What a relief! Oh, and the whole consultation- including the X-ray- was FREE!! Tracy said she'll send a note to my son's dentist and even gave us a copy of the X-ray. It was such a positive experience all around and the degree of communication and effort put into customer satisfaction are really remarkable.

I am in my mid 30's and having my teeth straightened was something that I always wanted to do, but never thought I would actually do it! After sharing the disappointment on the appearance of my teeth with my dentist, he without hesitation recommended Dr. Frazier. Within days, I was sitting in Dr. Frazier's office going over treatment options. After making a decision on my treatment plan I had braces on my teeth in less than a few weeks. Wearing braces on my teeth for 20 months was defiantly not one of my favorite experiences. However, Dr. Frazier and his staff (Special thanks to Cara and Debbie) seemed to go above and beyond to help me make the best of the situation. Every time I brush my teeth or look in the mirror I am reminded of how grateful I am to have made the decision to get braces! Thanks again Dr. Frazier, Debbie, and Cara!!!!
