About This Provider
Dr. Milena Bulic is a board-certified orthodontist and the founder of MPowered Smiles Orthodontics in Park Ridge, Illinois. She holds a Doctor of Dental Surgery and a Master of Science in Oral Sciences from the University of Illinois at Chicago, where she also completed a rigorous three-year orthodontic residency. As a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics, Dr. Bulic has passed voluntary written and clinical examinations that fewer than one in three practicing orthodontists complete. Her path into the specialty is personal: as a teenager, her own smile was transformed by a female orthodontist, an experience that shaped her commitment to helping patients feel confident and empowered. She uses Pitts21 self-ligating bracket technology to deliver precise, efficient treatment with fewer office visits and greater comfort. Her practice offers Invisalign, 3M Clarity, and a proprietary in-house aligner line called Clearly MPowered, as well as a Hybrid treatment that pairs braces and aligners for complex cases. Dr. Bulic treats patients across all life stages, from early childhood through adulthood, with a focus on creating broad, aesthetic smiles tailored to each individual's facial structure and goals.
