Welcome to Head Orthodontics, conveniently located in downtown Glen Ellyn, IL. Practicing since 2000, Dr. Douglas W. Head is a specialist in orthodontics and he and his orthodontic team are proud to offer outstanding orthodontic care for patients of all ages.

Depending on the age and oral health of your child, early treatment and two-phase orthodontics may be ideal.

Services
Since 2000, Dr. Head has been exclusively practicing orthodontics. The team at Head Orthodontics is skilled, intelligent, courteous and highly trained to make sure you and your family are as comfortable and satisfied as possible throughout each visit during your orthodontic treatment plan. Your scheduled appointment time has been reserved for you.
Hi, I am Dr. Douglas Head. Practicing orthodontics allows me to improve my patient's health and appearance and is the best job I can imagine. I love my work! Since my start in orthodontics in 2000, I enjoy going to the office each day, spending time with great patients, and being supported by an exceptional orthodontic staff.
Here at Head Orthodontics, we offer a variety of treatments that can cover your needs. While many think of orthodontics as braces, our treatments include Phase 1 Orthodontics (known as early treatment), Phase 2 Orthodontics, Adult Treatment, Invisalign and Retention. With all of these treatment options, we can fulfill the requirements that you expect from any renowned orthodontist and make sure that your experience is satisfactory.
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an initial orthodontic evaluation by no later than age 7. By being proactive with an early exam, early treatment options may be available to guide growth and prevent more serious problems later. Though an orthodontist can enhance a smile at any age, there is an optimal time period to begin treatment.
Braces aren't just for kids anymore. Tooth alignment can be changed at any age if your gums and bone structure are healthy. We offer a variety of treatments that are designed for different age groups - including adults. So your new smile can begin today. Orthodontic treatment at later stages in life can dramatically improve your personal appearance and self-esteem.

Dr. Head is fantastic! I arrived early to my appointment and he saw me right away. He helped explain my options clearly and fixed the problem very quickly. Great customer service interactions with every staff member there. Dr. Head's office is awesome!

The doctor and his staff were super nice. I moved from out of town to this area and was referred by a friend. They took a look at my loose/ broken permanent wire and helped me out. It was great. If I ever have another issue, I will definitely be back. Thank you!

When I was a student at Wheaton College, I lost (or broke) my upper removable retainer multiple times. Dr. Head was one of the few places I went to to get a new retainer.

His office is very nice, and his office staff is friendly and professional. Dr. Head, himself, is pretty good, though I can't speak to him that much, since replacement retainers take such little time and commitment from the orthodontist. In fact, when I came back to pick up the retainer after it was molded to my mouth, I'm pretty sure Dr. Head never even saw me come in.

The price of the retainer was quite fair,

Dr. Head has been the orthodontist for three of my sons and I am anticipating son #4 will be seeing him as well :/ We have had a great experience with Dr. Head. Everything has gone well and when we checked around the area for pricing, he was the least expensive. Great experience!

2 of my children had orthodontic care performed by Dr Head. The office staff are very friendly, the appointments were always on time (always!) and the payment arrangements were very easy to cover.

Dr. Head did a great job on both of my boys.
Their teeth look great.
They only need 1 set of braces and no teeth pulled, unlike others.
His office runs like clockwork and he is personally involved with each patient and parents. One of the receptionists could be a bit more down to earth, but who cares.. He is great...
