About This Provider

Dr. Ejaz Tahir, DDS, MS is the founder of Cool Braces Orthodontics, with locations in Berwyn and Oak Lawn, Illinois. He completed his undergraduate studies, his Doctorate of Dental Surgery, and his Master of Science in Orthodontics entirely at the University of Illinois at Chicago. He holds active membership in the American Association of Orthodontists, the American Board of Orthodontics, and the American College of Dentists. Dr. Tahir's clinical philosophy holds that the gap between a mediocre smile and an extraordinary one is about 80% artistic judgment. He is a practicing artist and origami enthusiast, and that precision — attention to proportion, symmetry, and form — shapes how he positions brackets, sequences tooth movements, and evaluates facial harmony throughout treatment. Patients throughout the Chicago area seek him out for complex cases, including severe overbites, underbites, and class 3 open bites that other orthodontists referred to surgery. He is known for taking time to walk patients through full treatment plans, staying personally accessible after hours, and achieving results patients describe as life-changing. He holds a 4.8-star rating across 174 patient reviews.
