About This Provider

Dr. Terry Sellke has spent more than 30 years as a specialist orthodontist, building one of northern Illinois's most experienced practices at Orthodontic Specialists of Lake County. A native Illinoisian through and through, he earned his bachelor's degree, Doctor of Dental Surgery, and Master of Science in Orthodontics all from the University of Illinois, then returned to that institution for over three decades as a professor, master's thesis advisor, and lecturer in orthodontics. His peers elected him to the American College of Dentists, a recognition reserved for practitioners who have made outstanding contributions to the field. Dr. Sellke has personally taught more than 20 local orthodontists and lectures both locally and internationally on clinical orthodontics and practice principles. Patients who work with Dr. Sellke consistently note his professional expertise and the speed and efficiency of their treatment outcomes. The practice he co-founded has treated more than 13,000 patients and ranks among the top 1% of clear aligner providers worldwide, holding Diamond Plus Provider status. His less-than-5% permanent extraction rate reflects a precision-first philosophy that prioritizes conserving natural teeth whenever possible.
