As one of the leading orthodontists on Chicago’s North Side, Dr. Yarmolyuk brings decades of experience to Lakeview. With advanced training from the University of Illinois at Chicago and Marquette University, he is known for simplifying even the most complex orthodontic cases.
Families appreciate his calm, educational approach, especially families navigating braces for the first time and adults seeking discreet options like Invisalign®. Recognized as one of America’s Top Dentists and featured on WGN, he blends clinical expertise with down-to-earth care that resonates with Lakeview’s community feel.
“My goal is to create an orthodontic experience that feels seamless, supportive, and truly personal.” – Dr. Yaroslav Yarmolyuk
Known for her warm personality and meticulous clinical eye, Dr. Inna Sydorak helps patients of all ages achieve healthy, confident smiles. A Milo Hellman Award recipient and ABO board-certified orthodontist, she pairs advanced academic training with a gentle, reassuring chairside manner.
Her strong research background, including publications on periodontal health during orthodontic treatment, equips her to diagnose and treat even subtle bite and alignment challenges. Chicago families, professionals, and students alike describe her as compassionate, thorough, and deeply invested in their comfort.
“Orthodontics should feel reassuring and empowering, every patient deserves to feel understood at every step.” – Dr. Inna Sydorak
Orthodontic Experts Lakeview is guided by a simple idea: orthodontic treatment should feel clear, comfortable, and clinically precise. That’s why our orthodontists use iTero® 3D scanning, digital bite analysis, and simulation-based treatment planning to map every tooth movement accurately from the very start.
From your first scan to your final visit, you’ll always understand your progress, no messy impressions and no confusing steps. Just a smooth, data-driven orthodontic experience supported by advanced technology and a team focused on comfort, safety, and predictable results.
Metal braces remain one of the most effective orthodontic treatments for achieving steady, reliable results. Families and teens across Lakeview choose them for their durability, precision, and ability to personalize colors at each visit. With monthly payments for $195*, metal braces offer an affordable and dependable path to a healthier smile.
Ceramic braces offer a discreet orthodontic option with tooth-colored brackets that blend naturally with your smile. Popular among Lakeview adults and older teens, they provide the same alignment precision as metal braces while maintaining a cleaner, low-visibility appearance during work, class, and daily interactions.
Gold braces combine orthodontic strength with a polished, modern aesthetic. Their gold-plated brackets appeal to patients who want a unique, expressive look while still benefiting from the same proven performance as traditional braces. A favorite for style-minded Lakeview residents.
Invisalign® uses custom, digitally designed trays to straighten your smile comfortably and discreetly. It’s a top choice among Lakeview teens and adults looking for treatment that blends into daily life, supported by iTero® 3D imaging for accuracy and predictable results.
Straighten your smile with aligners that fit into your specific lifestyle. These durable, clear aligner trays ensure alignment, resist discoloration, and deliver results you feel confident in, with each aligner tray. Explore our smile correction packages with clear aligner treatment to start seeing results in just a few months!
Your smile transformation begins with a comprehensive no-cost consultation led directly by a board-certified orthodontist, not a technician. We combine clinical expertise, advanced diagnostics, and a patient-first approach to ensure you start your orthodontic journey with complete confidence.

Exactly what I was looking for! It has the best mix of new technology and in-person expert service. 10/10 in my book! I need my smile touched up after I had braces as a teenager but I didn’t want the high costs of an orthodontist or the uncertainty of one of those “do-it-yourself” online apps where you never meet a real person (that’s just scary, who does that?!?) Anyway, I dropped in as I was shopping nearby and met their knowledgable and lovely staff experts. They were super friendly and accommodating and helped explain the whole process and pricing. The guy who helped me was really thoughtful and took time to make sure I understood everything. The best part is when I go back in for my fitting I’ll meet with the orthodontist. In person! An actual doctor! Sorry digital age but I still value the in-person approach to most things especially when it comes to my teeth. How the heck ppl do completely app-based aligners I’ll never know … Highly recommend this place plus the decor is cute and clean which is a must for me … the style of a space affects the users’ experience and my experience was great! :)
