From early evaluations to full orthodontic treatment, our Bucktown clinic is designed to support kids, teens, and parents with care that fits naturally into school schedules, family routines, and everyday life in the neighborhood.
Parents choose our Bucktown location because the experience feels personal and consistent.

We focus on communication that makes sense to parents and reassurance that helps kids feel comfortable at each visit. This steady, familiar approach allows families to feel confident returning for years, not just for one phase of treatment.
Dr. Shibeika was born and raised in Khartoum, Sudan. She moved to the United States to pursue a career in dentistry where she obtained her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of California at Los Angeles. She then completed her residency and received a master’s degree and a certificate of orthodontics at the State University of New York at Buffalo.
She is passionate about orthodontics and believes that it’s more than just straightening teeth, it’s about improving patients’ lives and self-perception.
“I try to have fun every day at work and strive to provide exceptional orthodontic treatment in a caring, comfortable, and fun environment!” – Dr. Dina Shibeika
Dr. Inna Sydorak brings a thoughtful, detail-oriented style that resonates with both parents and children. Her evaluations are thorough, and she takes time to help families understand why treatment may, or may not, be needed at each stage.

Our Bucktown clinic provides orthodontic treatment options designed to support kids as they grow and families as needs change. Using digital planning and age-appropriate treatment approaches, we help families choose solutions that balance effectiveness, comfort, and practicality. Each treatment option is selected with long-term oral health in mind rather than short-term fixes.
Metal braces are a dependable option for kids and teens who need consistent alignment correction. Many parents choose metal braces because they provide steady progress and are well suited for growing mouths. Adjustments are predictable, and progress is easy to monitor over time.
Ceramic braces offer effective correction with a more subtle appearance. Older teens and parents often prefer this ceramic braces option when aesthetics matter but the reliability of braces is still desired.
Gold braces combine the strength of traditional braces with a distinctive look. Some families choose this gold braces option for teens who want a bit of personality in their treatment while maintaining full effectiveness.
Invisalign® works well for teens and adults who can manage removable aligners responsibly. Parents appreciate the flexibility Invisalign® provides for meals and oral hygiene while still supporting gradual, guided alignment.
Clear aligners are often chosen for mild to moderate alignment concerns. Their smooth design and removable transparent trays make them easy to integrate into daily routines at home and school.
Your first visit to our Bucktown clinic is designed to be informative and reassuring. During the consultation, we review your kid’s development or your own alignment concerns, explain possible next steps, and answer questions without pressure. Families leave knowing what to watch for, when treatment may be needed, and how to plan comfortably.
We understand that orthodontic treatment is a family decision, and financial clarity matters. Our Bucktown team explains costs clearly, reviews insurance coverage, and helps families explore payment options that fit their budget. The goal is to make planning easier, not stressful.
We accept Illinois Medicaid (All Kids) for qualifying orthodontic treatment and assist families through the approval process.
Customizable monthly plans are available to help families manage treatment costs comfortably.

Every smile deserves thoughtful attention. From early evaluations for kids to discreet treatment options for teens and adults, we create customized plans for every stage of life.
Following AAO guidelines, kids are evaluated around age 7 to monitor jaw growth and bite development. Early guidance helps families understand what to expect as their kid grows.
Teen treatment is planned around school schedules and daily activities. Clear expectations and regular check-ins help teens stay on track.
Many parents also choose orthodontic treatment for themselves. Discreet options allow adults to address long-standing alignment concerns while managing work and family responsibilities.

At our Bucktown clinic, orthodontists examine how teeth align and how the bite functions together as a system. This evaluation helps families and patients understand whether monitoring or correction may be appropriate over time.

(Bucktown) Progress of one and a half year. My two daughters and myself experienced most staff to be wonderful and welcoming. During our processes, we are BEYOND happy and thrilled to meet and go through the progress with Dr. Dina Shibeika —she is wonderful, gentle, friendly, extremely knowledgeable, patient, kind, professional, easy to talk to and very sweet. ⭐️🌟✨ 👎🏻👎👎🏽 Dr.Inna Sydorak is total opposite — she is cold, unfriendly, unwelcoming, never says hello, ‘SHE IS IN SHE IS OUT’, like a robot, very unpleasant, moody, her patience and energy is low. I get upset when I have to be seen by her. I am glad it’s over for myself & for my oldest. Thank you
