I made my way to Associated Orthodontists in August 2015 when I was 38 years old. Since 2010 I had…read morea history of "TMJ," or at least that was what I was told I had by multiple dentists, TMJ specialists, and other dentists. My symptoms were pretty much constant pain in my face, teeth, left eye, left ear, headaches, and neck pain. My bite had also opened in the front about 5 mm and my teeth no longer touched except on my back left molars. My lower jaw had also moved "back" towards my airway creating a significant overjet of my top teeth. I could no longer bite through foods, and just chewing was extremely difficult. I decided to schedule yet another consult because my gut was telling me there was something seriously not right, and this was not just TMJ. I met with Dr. Scott Soderquist and he reviewed the panoramic xrays while listening to my history of the past 5 years. I will never forget the moment he said, "I know what you have," and said I was textbook for Idiopathic Condylar Resorption; basically a severe inflammatory disease process that eats the part of the lower jaw that seats into the upper jaw. He explained that I would need to see an oral & maxillofacial surgeon, as this condition required braces to first align the teeth prior to surgery, then surgery to realign the jaws into a normal bite, and the braces after surgery to "tweak" the teeth into their final position. It was just over a year in braces before I was ready for surgery. I needed both upper and lower jaw surgery to realign my bite, and could get a little neurotic from time to time in anticipation as the date drew closer. Dr. Scott always took the time to answer all my questions, which I really appreciated. Everyone at Associated was always very informative, and just above all, kind , which I appreciated so much! I honestly don't know where I'd be today if I hadn't gone to Associated Ortho. I went undiagnosed and misdiagnosed for so long... I had my surgery in February of '17, braces came off in July of '17, and my teeth and bite look amazing! More importantly, I feel amazing and am functioning as I should be. Dr. Scott is an amazing orthodontist; he is meticulous with his work, (my surgeons mentioned multiple times that they were very impressed with some of the things he was able to accomplish,) intelligent, and also a nice person...I'd give Associated Ortho way more stars if I could!

But scheduling is a nightmare especially for parents who work and with school-aged children they are not convenient. Hours are M-Th 9-6 but every time I try to get an appt on one of those days, Dr. Moravec is conveniently not in that day. This has happened more times than not. Also, they schedule particular types of appointments during certain times of the day which do not always work for everyone's schedules. It would be nice if the office was more accommodating for the clientele they cater too which is mostly school-aged children and working parents. Maybe have 1 night they are open later or be open on Fridays as well. Just keep this in mind when you look for orthodonitists.

Well, 6 months after my son's braces were off his jaw line changed. My son went through puberty and his whole jaw shifted(elongated). His teeth are nice and straight but his bite is completely off. Would highly recommend waiting til your children are near puberty for braces. Went to a different ortho for my 3rd son and they waited until he was 16 yrs old to put him in braces.

I will update as time goes by. However, so far there have been some issues…read more We are seeking a consult at Innovative Orthodontic Center to correct what another provider at a completely different practice did wrong. First, this location is only open one day a week. ONE day? Next, they have very nice staff. However, they have you download an app called Dolphin to help with future communications and never answered any of our questions through the app. When I finally was able to call the other location to clear up why, she said we needed to call the Shorewood location ( but again its only open ONE day). We were never contacted. We had to call to make a follow-up appointment. My husband had JUST finished his second failed refinement with the other provider. He was told he will now need $6500 ADDITIONAL work!!!!!!! This is no fault of Innovative Orthodontic. But, I will update after transferring his case. **Make sure you get any Invisalign done by Certified/Licensed Orthodontists. Apparently there are NO Orthodontists on staff at Invisalign... if a regular DDS wants to take a 4 hour class, they can then dispense Invisalign and treat patients. This is NOT comparable to the YEARS of training an Orthodontist like the very qualified specialists at Innovative go through!!

Unfortunately, I have had the unpleasant experience of bad dentistry. I vowed that my kids would…read morenot endure the same horror. When their pediatric dentist recommended future orthodontic treatment, I scheduled a consult with Dr. Ibrahim since the office is very close to my home. The office staff was very friendly and accommodating. My boys were instantly satisfied as they got to check out a Nintendo ds and countless games during the visit. Upon meeting Dr. Ibrahim, I knew we were in the right place. She gave off those warm and fuzzies. In addition to being extremely caring, she was attentive to my boys and explained in detail possible treatment and outcomes. Fast forward almost a year later and my sons smile and bite has changed dramatically. My other son is also about to start treatment as I totally trust Dr. I and her staff. I am confident that my kids are receiving excellent orthodontic care and not the frightening ordeals I had to encounter as a child.

I highly recommend the Orthodontic Care Center and their team for any type of orthodontic care for children to the elderly. You will be happy with their services.

Everything was always perfect, if not, he would make changes and make it just right to improve my teeth. This staff is also extremely accommodating.
