Lloyd Orthodontics

I have been going to Lloyd Orthopedic for years. Everyone is so wonderful there! I have received so many compliments on my smile and its all due to David Lloyd. It has been such a great experience!

Dr. Lloyd is an EXCELLENT orthodontist. I am a general dentist who had orthodontics 18 years ago. He successfully treated 9members of my family. As a practicing dentist I see patients who have had braces in the past, but you would not believe it if you saw their smiles. Dr. Lloyd’s works displays perfection, not only at the end of treatment, but for decades. I have not seen any relapse in any of my family members, and I believe I never will. I would put his work up against the work of any orthodontist I have ever seen. Expect and receive IDEAL results at Lloyd orthodontics.

I went to Dr. Lloyd from 4^th grade until my last visit when I was 28. I had braces, retainers, headgear, some medieval contraption called a frankel, and some other things my mind’s blocked to spare me the memories of.
Dr. Lloyd is, first and foremost, an amazing perfectionist. On one occasion a new assistant botched my x-​rays and Dr. Lloyd had them re-​taken because, in his words, they were not up to his standards. To this end, Dr. Lloyd can be a bit brash, but that’s because he has earned the right to be because he is – bar none — the best orthodontist in Libertyville and probably many of the surrounding cities. My teeth today are testament to his work quality.
Dr. Lloyd is not cheap. I didn’t have to pay, but on a few occasions my dad mentioned that my teeth cost him two BMWs, after what the insurance covered. However, teeth are with us for our lives after childhood — call that 70 or more years — and teeth that are not fixed properly will lead to a lifetime of pain and difficulty.
Basically, if you have the means to use Dr. Lloyd and the desire to have your or your child’s teeth be perfect for a lifetime, Dr. Lloyd should be your orthodontic solution. Once you have gotten to know him, his methods, and gotten past his occasional brashness, you will fin he’s a wonderful professional, compassionate toward his younger patients, exceptional at explaining the orthodontic process, and very committed to making sure that people have the best possible smile for their lifetime.

I went to Doctor Lloyd for 10-​ish years during my childhood. From braces in the 2^nd grade to rubber bands during high school to getting permanent retainers during college (and a bunch of stuff in between) I was a fixture in Dr. Lloyd’s office for a while.
Dr. Lloyd himself is a nice enough guy. I will say, though, is that he is one hell of a perfectionist. Some other orthodontists might have gotten my absolute abortion of a mouth «fixed» and out the door in a few years. (Seriously, my mouth was an abortion… teeth coming in all directions, wisdom teeth butting up against vital nerves, all kinds of crap). But Lloyd wanted it to be perfect, which meant more than a few crazy devices beyond just braces (lip bumper? upper mouth widener?)
At the time, I hated it, but in the end, it was worth it, as I have a really straight set of teeth, no underbite, and no freakishly pushed back chin. So I guess it was worth the hours in a chair.
Obviously I did not foot the bill, but from what I understand, he’s somewhat expensive. Still, if you want the job done right, I recommend him.
