About This Provider
Dr. David H. Lloyd is the founder of Lloyd Orthodontics in Libertyville, Illinois, where he has built a specialty practice rooted in physiological reasoning and biomechanical precision. A member of the American Association of Orthodontists and the World Federation of Orthodontists, Dr. Lloyd is a referral destination for dentists and specialists who encounter cases too complex for conventional orthodontic care. His background in physiology shapes how he evaluates jaw growth, joint health, and dental anatomy together, rather than treating teeth as isolated structures. Dr. Lloyd's core philosophy holds that early intervention, timed precisely to natural bone development, shortens treatment duration and reduces its complexity for younger patients. He manages the full spectrum of orthodontic care: from palatal expansion and growth modification in children to surgical orthodontic coordination and TMD management in adults. Patients who consulted multiple orthodontists without finding a solution consistently report that Dr. Lloyd was both willing to take their case and committed to a permanent, uncompromised result. He treats patients across the full lifespan, maintaining care relationships that can span decades.
