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.
He considered pursuing medicine after graduating but found a love for dentistry. Dentistry allows you to not only create 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 Deans 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 Masters 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.
Dr. Brady is an orthodontist. Orthodontists are dentists first. Out of 100 dental school graduates, on average, only six go on to become orthodontists. To practice orthodontics, Dr. Brady spent 11 years in training (four years of college, four years of dental school, and two years of orthodontics residency).
Gone are the days of painful headgear, clunky bands on every tooth, and overly tight stainless steel wires. We take pride in making straight teeth as comfortable as possible. This is because of shape-memory NiTi wires.
With the same technology that NASA uses, NiTi wires put constant force against the teeth to move them in the right direction. This gets rid of the need for wire tightening. This means you spend less time in braces, and the time you do spend is more comfortable.
