About AllCare Orthodontic Center
Multilingual staff, on-time scheduling, and retainer fittings that hold up over years mark this Chicago practice, with Dr. Angela Wanying Lu named repeatedly for careful, upfront explanations.
Reviews point to smooth logistics as a real strength here: appointments run on time, rescheduling is easy, and the office accommodates out-of-state or school-based schedules. Treatment timelines are frequently described as finishing on plan, whether that's braces off in about two years or an expander-to-braces sequence completed on schedule for kids. Retainers come up often too, with reviewers noting good fit and easy fixes when problems arise. Dr. Angela Wanying Lu is named repeatedly for explaining each step before starting and giving upfront assessments of time and cost, including for a surgical case coordinated with an oral surgeon.

Best orthodontist is Chicago. They went above and beyond to help straighten my teeth. I was able to avoid surgery and work with having an expander as an adult. Although I was nervous the entire staff made this experience as smooth as possible. I highly recommend to anyone considering braces and/or expansion.

I got my braces here in 2018. I had a really great experience here from the day I got my braces to getting my retainers. The staff here are extremely kind and welcoming. They take the time to explain the whole process well and the service is amazing. My teeth turned out better than I could have imagined, and I’m so happy with the results. I’m really thankful for all the support throughout my journey here. I would definitely recommend this office to anyone looking for an orthodontist.

I first got my braces here a couple of years ago and they were very accommodating. The scheduling was especially easy and they are willing to help anyway possible. The orthodontists are very kind there and help with any issues I have. Additionally, they are able to finish your appointment very efficiently. Even if you’re early, they still manage to take care of you early and you can be out really fast.

I have 3 children with braces at this time at AllCare Orthodontic Center. We have received excellent service since the initial consult thru all the treatment appointments. Everyone at this office has been wonderful, very professional and welcoming. We just had a consult for our youngest so will continue to use their orthodontic services for our family.
