What Sets Us Apart
Forever Smiles has been serving the Buffalo Grove community for more than 35 years by consistently delivering state-of-the-art orthodontic care to our patients.
Our Mission
To provide the most efficient and effective orthodontic care, in a fun environment, and to treat people with dignity and respect.
Experience You Can Trust
Dr. Elizabeth (Liz) Razdolsky Michalczyk earned dual doctorate degrees (DMD and PhD) from the University of Illinois at Chicago and is a distinguished author of 17 published papers. She also serves as a craniofacial orthodontist at Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago, providing exceptional care both at Lurie’s and Forever Smiles. Her dedication and expertise were recognized with the prestigious "Best Orthodontist" award in the Women in Medicine 2025 Edition.
Dr. Yan Razdolsky, a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics, has achieved a distinction awarded to fewer than 20% of orthodontists in the United States, reflecting his commitment to the highest standards of clinical excellence.
Use of State-of-the-Art Technology
We use 3D cone beam technology which reveals hidden anatomy and discloses important anatomical variations that can't be visualized on traditional panoramic and cephalometric projections. We strongly feel that failure to recognize these key anatomical features may lead to sub-optimum diagnosis, treatment planning, and treatment outcomes. We also strive for improved speed and precision of orthodontic results with the use of robotic technology and memory wires.
Advanced Diagnostics
We provide every new patient to our practice with complete radiology analysis and report by a board-certified oral and maxillofacial radiologist, which includes TMJ, airways, and pathology screening.
