    There was no question in my mind after meeting the staff and Dr. Jessica, this is where I wanted to go for my orthodontic treatment. I’ve had the best of the best here during my treatment, and now both my daughter and husband go to DJC. You feel like family from the moment you walk in and the confidence you feel after your smile reveal can’t be rivaled. I highly recommend Dr. Jessica to everyone I see. If you want the best care for your teeth, please go for your consult. I know you won’t regret it!

    "Dr. Jessica is fantastic!!!! My daughter has always been afraid of anything having to do with her mouth, and Dr. Jessica and her team addressed her concerns the minute we arrived. They talked through everything that was going to happen and made sure she was comfortable every step of the way. She got aligners instead of braces and it was a breeze. More importantly, Dr. Jessica’s attention to detail created an amazing smile for my daughter. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!"

She isn’t just concerned about the form, function and aesthetic of your teeth, but I always leave her office feeling like she took her time to listen to my concerns ( mostly unfounded) with the outcome. I’m loving my results, thus far, and highly recommend her. Her staff is excellent as well!"

    “Dr Jessica is absolutely incredible in every way. First and foremost, her talent and skill set is unparalleled. But what makes her truly special and extremely rare - is her never ending patience, kindness, understanding and overall genuine concern for her patients. My son has been a challenge on every level and she never, ever gave up- despite everything he put through. She's an angel of immense talent and bedside manner that no other orthodontists on the Northshore can come close to. My son gets his braces off next week and she deserves a medal for the years she's invested in him. SHE'S TRULY AMAZING.”

    Eliza B

    "Dr. Jessica did an amazing, amazing job on my teeth. As a child I had braces. Unfortunately, over time, my teeth shifted and I developed a space in the front, which was quite noticeable. I chose to go with the aligners because of the flexibility/removability they offer. Dr. Jessica was so kind, caring, and encouraging. Very different experience than my first go around with orthodontia. Her staff is truly a reflection of her. They too were kind and supportive and clearly had a camaraderie with one another. The space itself is as bright and cheery as Dr. Jessica is. I would recommend definitely recommend Dr. Jessica."

    "For having to go to the orthodontist which can be unpleasant, DJC is the best. She is extremely informative and discusses both the science behind the problem as well as the action to get it fixed. The staff is always in a great and happy mood and smiling! My treatment plan has been going exactly to plan and each visit is more pleasant than the last."

    "Best staff and best doctor's office experience I've ever had! Their beautiful office is full of fun, top-notch staff from the front desk right up to Dr. Jessica. Never had a problem with insurance, paperwork, or follow-up appointments. Highly recommended. UPDATE: Had a minor issue that required a follow-up more than a year later. Got an appointment quickly, issue fixed, and no hassle. Continues to be my favorite doctor's office! UPDATE #2: My daughter has since gone here for braces and this continues to be the best doctors experience I've ever had. 6 STARS!"

How do I find the best place to get braces?

If you’re looking for the best place to get braces, you might assume that you should start your search on Google. We recommend a different first step: pinpointing what’s important to you as a patient. For example, are you looking for an office that’s close to your home, your work, or your child’s school? Maybe you’re looking for a highly skilled orthodontist because your case is more complex. Whatever the case may be, knowing what you’re looking for upfront will make the process much easier.

Note: If you or your child is considering getting braces in Highland Park, then look no further than Dr. Jessica Cohen! Not only is she a board-certified orthodontist, but she also has more than a decade of experience. Plus, our office has received several awards, including the best orthodontist in North Shore Award for 2020 and the City of Highland Park Beautification Award for 2021!

How do I get emergency orthodontic care?

Fortunately, orthodontic emergencies are pretty rare. That said, if you do find yourself in the middle of one, then don’t wait – call us ASAP! Over the phone, a helpful member of our team will learn more about what happened, schedule an appointment for you with Dr. Cohen, and provide helpful instructions on what to do in the meantime.

Important reminder: If you are experiencing any potentially life-threatening symptoms, including uncontrollable bleeding, call 911 or head to the ER right away.

What do you do if you can't afford an orthodontist?

Are you interested in straightening your teeth, but worried about the cost of orthodontic treatment? If so, don’t hesitate to schedule a consultation with us! Once we have an in-depth understanding of your dental history, needs, and goals, we can begin working on your custom treatment plan and provide you with an estimate of the cost. If you have a specific budget in mind, we can also discuss how you can make the price more affordable, including flexible financing.

How can I find a female orthodontist?

If you’re in or around Highland Park, you don’t have to look far – we have a talented, experienced, and caring orthodontist right here! Dr. Cohen’s journey to becoming a board-certified orthodontist began at Case Western Reserve University, where she graduated with high honors. She also earned her Master of Science degree in Oral Sciences and Certificate of Orthodontics from the University of Illinois at Chicago. If that wasn’t impressive enough, she has also completed countless hours of continuing education with professional organizations like the Chicago Dental Society and the American Association of Orthodontists!
