Board-Certified Winnetka and Evanston Orthodontist

Patrick Brady, MS, DMD

Background

Dr. Brady grew up in the western suburbs of Chicago where he attended Fenwick High School.

He excelled academically and athletically, achieving all-state in baseball and football. He also won a state championship in the Fed Challenge, an economic competition.

Education

Dr. Brady headed south to attend Davidson College on a baseball scholarship and earned a BS in Psychology. While still a student, he met his wife Misty, who played on the field hockey team.

He considered pursuing medicine after graduating but found a love for dentistry. Dentistry allows you to create not only beautiful smiles but also form lifelong bonds with patients and their families.

Dr. Brady decided to continue his education and earned a Doctor of Dental Medicine from the University of Louisville School of Dentistry. While in Dental School, he was a Dean’s Scholar and joined the Delphi Society and Omicron Kappa Upsilon academic honor societies.

Dr. Brady also discovered a passion for orthodontics. He was amazed at the transformation that happens during treatment. The self-esteem and confidence from a beautiful smile are life-changing.

Dr. Brady returned to the midwest to attend the University of Iowa College of Dentistry where he received his master's and Certificate of Orthodontics.

As an orthodontic student, Dr. Brady presented research at national meetings for the American Dental Education Association, the American Association of Orthodontics.

Outside the Office

Dr. Brady’s wife Misty is originally from Virginia Beach. It took some arm twisting, but he eventually got her to move back to the Chicago suburbs where he grew up.

As part of the deal, they moved close to field hockey, so Misty could coach. They were lucky enough to land in the Northshore. They live in Northfield with their son Walter and daughter Wren.

Misty has coached with Windy City Field Hockey since 2017 and became the head coach at Loyola Academy in 2019.

Dr. Brady recently began teaching at the orthodontic residency program at UIC once or twice a month. Dr. Brady was an early adopter for KLOwen custom braces and wanted to teach the residents how the use the new system. The braces have been a game changer for his practice and he wants to share his experience with the residents.

Because Dr. Brady doesn’t have many other hobbies besides teeth he recently started the process to join a national orthodontic study club called the Angle Society. You have to pass a series of more difficult tests in order to be accepted. Some of the biggest names in orthodontics are in the study club. It’s a lot of work, but it will benefit our patients.

Board Certified

This education and experience gave Dr. Brady the foundation to achieve board certification from the American Board of Orthodontics.

Only 33% of orthodontics reach this milestone. This means you can be sure that you’re getting top-quality care.

Winnetka Braces

Traditional braces are one of the most efficient orthodontic tools we have. The metal or ceramic brackets are attached to the teeth, then connected by wires and tiny rubber bands or elastics. Through regular adjustments with our doctors, these components work together to apply gentle pressure, which will gradually move the teeth into the desired positions.

Winnetka braces are an excellent choice for correcting a number of tooth issues, from simple to complex. Because they sometimes work faster at closing gaps and aligning teeth than other options might, overall treatment time can be slightly reduced. In addition, braces don’t require some of the more complicated technology or expensive equipment that newer treatments can. This makes Winnetka braces a cost-effective orthodontic option for patients on a budget.

Winnetka Clear Aligners

Rather than brackets and bands, the Winnetka clear aligners system uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually move the teeth into alignment. This option is incredibly popular with both patients and orthodontists and is currently the top alternative to traditional braces.

Clear aligners are made of a comfortable plastic material and designed to fit snugly over the patient’s teeth. The trays are virtually invisible and are usually switched out every 1-2 weeks for the next in the series.

This keeps the teeth moving in the right direction! Aligners must be worn 20-22 hours per day throughout treatment in order for them to do their job. Patients who neglect to wear the aligners as directed can have a negative impact on the results and also add time to the orthodontic process.

Clear aligners are at its most efficient when used to correct many of the most common orthodontic issues. For certain complex cases, clear aligners may not be a viable option. A free consultation with Brady Orthodontics will be able to help determine your eligibility for clear aligners.
