About This Provider
Dr. Paul Ladner holds a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) and a Master of Science in Orthodontics, giving him the graduate-level specialty training required to diagnose and treat the full range of tooth and jaw alignment problems. He is a co-founder of Ladner and Jain Orthodontics, LLP, a practice with over 65 years of history serving patients at three locations across western Illinois: Galesburg, Macomb, and Kewanee. Dr. Ladner grew up in Chicago as the seventh of eight children. His uncle, who served as the family dentist, first showed him how oral health directly shapes a person's confidence and quality of life. That experience guided him through dental school and into orthodontics, where he and his partner built the only specialty orthodontic practice serving Henry, Knox, and McDonough counties. Dr. Ladner uses iTero digital imaging to plan treatments with precision and eliminate the discomfort of traditional impression trays. He and his partner collaborate every Wednesday to review cases together before finalizing treatment plans, bringing two specialists' judgment to each patient's care. He holds membership in the American Association of Orthodontists, the Mid-western Society of Orthodontists, and the Illinois Society of Orthodontists.
