Your smile is your greeting to the world. It’s also a window to an important part of your dental health — the alignment of your teeth. Not everyone is born with beautiful teeth. Crooked teeth or spaces between the teeth may be a source of embarrassment or self-consciousness. Improperly aligned teeth and jaws — called a “malocclusion” — also can lead to tooth decay and a host of sometimes painful dental disorders.
The good news is that orthodontic treatment can correct malocclusions and help you achieve a healthy, beautiful smile that’s good for life.
Call us today at 312-804-8304 to schedule a complimentary consultation with one of our smile experts and board certified orthodontic specialists, Dr. Budi Kusnoto, Dr. Maria Therese Galang, Dr. Phimon Atsawasuwan, and Dr. Angela Lu to learn about the options you have to achieve a healthy and beautiful smile. We provide affordable 0% financing payment plans, flexible schedule, and accept most insurance including AllKids, Aetna, BlueCross BlueShield, Cigna, Delta Dental, Dearborn National, Guardian, MetLife, Meridian, United HealthCare, etc.
Ayudamos a las familias para que puedan usar su tarjeta medica y ayudas publicas para que puedan tener sus dientes derechos y saludables.

Dr. Katerine Cardona Joining the AllCare Family this Summer

AllCare Orthodontic Center is excited to welcome a new member, Dr. Katerine Cardona, to our team this summer. AllCare has been providing exceptional orthodontic care to children, adolescents and adults of all ages in Chicago and the surrounding communities since opening in 2007. Led by Dr. Budi Kusnoto, the team is dedicated to providing healthy and beautiful smiles for all of our patients.

Dr. Cardona is a double certified dentist obtaining her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from La Universidad del Valle in Cali, Colombia. She then went on to earn her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from the University of Illinois at Chicago. Inspired by the amazing changes that can be possible with orthodontics she continued her studies at the Department of Orthodontics at the University of Illinois, where she received a degree in Orthodontics and a master’s in Oral Sciences after a three-year graduate residency program.

Dr. Cardona’s dedication to her profession has led her to be inducted into OKU National Dental Honor Society, a designation reserved for dentists who have demonstrated outstanding academic performance and high clinical skills during their training.

Dr. Cardona uses multiple methods and appliances to suit her patient’s needs from conventional metal braces to clear aligner treatment (Invisalign). To ensure the best possible outcome for her patients, Dr. Cardona makes sure to gain their cooperation and actively involves them in all phases of their treatment.

Dr. Kusnoto noted, “We are passionate about providing quality care in a comfortable environment with the patients’ best interest in mind. It was very important to us to find a passionate orthodontic specialist who shares the same vision and philosophy to join the team. I believe we found an excellent match with Dr. Cardona whose educational background, treatment philosophy and clinical skills make her the perfect fit for our practice. Dr. Cardona speaks fluent English and Spanish. She will incredibly bridge our connection with patients and their family in a diverse community.”

“A simple smile. That’s the start of opening your heart and being compassionate to others.”

“I feel fortunate and very happy to be in a position to educate and provide the necessary treatments so that my patients can smile freely and confidently! I look forward to meeting you and your family at AllCare Orthodontic Center.” said Dr. Katerine Cardona.

We are very excited about this new chapter for AllCare. Looking forward to delivering more healthy and beautiful smiles to our patients with our team efforts.

Introducing 3D Printing Technology for Orthodontics

Allcare Orthodontic Center has some great news to share! As we are reopening this summer with updated sanitation procedures, additional personal protective equipment, new check in protocols, we have just implemented 3D PRINTING at our office!

3D printing use at our orthodontic office will help mitigate patient impressions/records, as it can take a mold of your teeth and make appliances with no contamination or saliva involvement. It is safe, precise and comfortable for our patients! The health and safety of patients is always our top priority.

Allcare Orthodontic Team is always looking for new innovative ways to provide highest quality orthodontic care. We appreciate your patience during this unprecedented time. We hope everyone is staying safe and healthy.  #AllCareOrtho #Smiles #3DPrinting #Orthodontics

Welcome Back Patients

Dear Patients,

We hope this letter finds you and your family in good health. Our community has been through a lot over the last few months, and all of us are looking forward to resuming our normal habits and routines. While many things have changed, one thing has remained the same: our commitment to your safety.

Infection control has always been a top priority for our practice and you may have seen this during your visits to our office. Our infection control processes are made so that when you receive care, it’s both safe and comfortable. We want to tell you about the infection control procedures we follow in our practice to keep patients and staff safe.

Our office follows infection control recommendations made by the American Dental Association (ADA), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). We follow the activities of these agencies so that we are up-to-date on any new rulings or guidance that may be issued. We do this to make sure that our infection control procedures are current and adhere to each agency’s recommendations.

You may see some changes when it is time for your next appointment. We made these changes to help protect our patients and staff. Details of our infection control protocols: 

We look forward to seeing you again and are happy to answer any questions you may have about the steps we take to keep you, and every patient, safe in our practice. To make an appointment, please call our office at office number 312-804-8304 or visit our website http://www.allcareorthodonticcenter.com/

Thank you for being our patient. We value your trust and loyalty and look forward to welcoming back our patients, neighbors and friends.

Sincerely,
The Smile Team at AllCare Orthodontic Center
