Best Orthodontists in Chicago 2026

This page lists orthodontists from the Chicagoland (Cook, DuPage, Lake, Will, Kane counties) research set. Towns named in that set include Evanston, Naperville, Aurora, Schaumburg, Oak Park, and Skokie.

16 businesses have a numbered rank because they have at least one counted independent source. 1 is listed below without a rank. Nothing on this page is a paid placement, and there is no composite score.

Methodology: Numbered order is the research file's source count, highest first. Ties break on recorded recognition strength: Best Law Firms tier, then Super Lawyers and Best Lawyers listings, then Newsweek, then Vault Law 100, then the research notes' suggested order. A source count of zero is unranked and alphabetical. Rankings are not paid, and this page has no composite score.

About Chicago's Orthodontists

What this list covers and how to read it.

The list covers orthodontists recorded for the Chicagoland (Cook, DuPage, Lake, Will, Kane counties). It is not limited to Chicago city limits.

Counted sources on the numbered part of this list include Castle Connolly. A star mark or a review total is shown only when the research file records that exact figure.

A numbered row is an editorial order, not a paid position. 1 business appears under Also serving the area.

Our Ranking Methodology

Updated Oct 2026.

This order uses only the research file. Each business has a source count: how many distinct independent publishers were counted. Best Law Firms and individual Best Lawyers listings count as one publisher. Higher source counts come first. A numbered rank requires a source count of at least 1. Other counted sources, including Expertise.com, change that count and do not add a separate strength step.

When source counts match, recorded recognitions break the tie. Best Law Firms Tier 1 ranks above Tier 2, and more Tier 1 rankings rank above fewer. A larger set of recorded tier rankings ranks above a smaller set when the best tier and the Tier 1 count match. Super Lawyers and Best Lawyers listings are next: a full Super Lawyers selection or a Best Lawyers listing outranks Rising Stars and Ones to Watch, and more names outrank fewer. A Newsweek listing is next, and a higher star mark recorded on that Newsweek listing outranks a lower one. A Vault Law 100 rank is next, with a lower rank number ahead of a higher one. Anything still tied follows the research notes' suggested order, then the business name. Avvo review figures are shown when the file records an exact total, and they are not a further tie-break.

A source count of 0 is not a negative mark. Those businesses are under Also serving the area, A to Z, with no number and no score. Sponsored blocks, paid directory placements, and awards that appear only on a business's own site are not counted. Rank on this page is not for sale. There is no featured-partner placement and no composite score.

Source count

Higher counts of distinct independent publishers come first. One counted source is enough for a numbered rank.

Recognition strength

Ties break on Best Law Firms tier, then Super Lawyers and Best Lawyers listings, then Newsweek, then Vault Law 100.

Research order

Remaining ties follow the research notes' suggested order, then the business name. Avvo totals are not a tie-break.

Unranked, and not for sale

Zero counted sources means an alphabetical listing with no number and no score. Rank is not paid.
