As a recipient of the Colgate Palmolive Annie Elizabeth Bessie Delaney Scholarship Award, she entered the orthodontic residency program at Howard University where she received her specialty certificate in orthodontics and maxillofacial orthopedics.
Tired of the strictly clinical environments offered by many dental practices, she purchased her existing practice in Evanston, IL to offer quality, compassionate orthodontic care to all of her patients.
A southern girl at heart, Dr. Kim enjoys spending time with family and friends, especially her beautiful daughter Kennedy! Together, they enjoy many outdoor activities including both skiing and water sports.
So it's no surprise that she is active in several service organizations dedicated to improving her community. Between motherhood, family commitments, and community service, Dr. Kim finds time to explore the world and an avid traveler.
We love being a part of this positive, life-changing journey that transforms our patients and elevates their self-esteem. Our experienced and dedicated staff collaborate with each patient to help them achieve the smile of their dreams!
Gone are the days of painful headgear, clunky bands on every tooth, and overly tight stainless steel wires. Today's orthodontic treatment is much more comfortable than it used to be. This is because of shape-memory NiTi wires.
With the same technology that NASA uses, NiTi wires exert a continuous 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.
Self-ligating metal braces are a reliable, effective, and economical option that has proven their effectiveness. Their high-tech design often shortens treatment times and eliminates the need to extract teeth before starting treatment.
At The Smile Suite, we value the relationship that we will build with you and your family throughout that process and want you to be confident that you are receiving the best orthodontic care possible.
