Cool Braces adds 25-year smile guarantee for qualifying patients

Cool Braces Orthodontics has launched a 25-year Smile Guarantee for qualifying Chicago-area patients who start comprehensive treatment on or after July 1, 2026. The program gives eligible families a path back to care if teeth shift after treatment and reinforces the practice’s long-term retention focus.

Why it matters: - The new program gives qualifying patients a defined, long-term option if teeth move after braces or aligner treatment ends. - The guarantee is aimed at reducing uncertainty for families investing in orthodontic care in Oak Lawn, Berwyn and nearby Chicago-area communities. - The launch also signals a retention-focused model, where follow-up care remains part of the treatment relationship for decades.

What happened: - Cool Braces Orthodontics launched the Cool Braces Smile Guarantee, a 25-year smile support program for qualifying patients. - The program applies to patients who begin comprehensive orthodontic treatment on or after July 1, 2026. - The practice serves Oak Lawn, Berwyn and the greater Chicago area. - Cool Braces is led by father-daughter orthodontists Dr. Ejaz Tahir and Dr. Analia Tahir, known to patients as Dr. Lia.

The details: - Qualifying patients may receive discounted re-treatment if teeth shift after completed treatment. - The program includes free bracket placement and removal if braces are needed again. - Qualifying patients may also receive discounted replacement retainers. - Priority scheduling is included for the Oak Lawn or Berwyn office. - To qualify, patients must start treatment on or after July 1, 2026, complete full comprehensive treatment at Cool Braces, keep scheduled adjustment appointments, wear retainers as recommended, attend annual retainer checks and maintain an account in good standing. - Exact pricing, treatment recommendations and eligibility are determined during consultation or follow-up evaluation. - The program is meant to support patients who complete treatment and continue recommended retainer care. - The Smile Guarantee is not a substitute for retention or ongoing follow-up. - More information is available at the company’s announcement or by calling Cool Braces Orthodontics at (708) 636-9000.

Between the lines: - Dr. Ejaz Tahir founded the Oak Lawn practice in 1995 and later expanded to Berwyn. - Dr. Ejaz Tahir has practiced orthodontics for more than three decades and serves as adjunct faculty at the University of Illinois Chicago Department of Orthodontics. - Dr. Analia Tahir is an American Board of Orthodontics-certified orthodontist who trained at UIC and joined the practice to continue the family’s work in the same communities. - The practice says it has straightened more than 25,000 smiles and now serves many second-generation families. - The program reflects the idea that orthodontic treatment can continue long after braces or aligners come off because teeth may shift over time. - The doctors often recommend braces for complex movements such as bite correction, severe crowding or rotations.

What's next: - Families can schedule a free consultation to learn more about treatment options and the Smile Guarantee. - Cool Braces will continue offering braces, clear braces, premium metal braces, same-day braces for qualifying patients and Invisalign for appropriate cases. - The practice will keep treating children, teens and adults, from early orthodontic evaluations and Phase 1 treatment through retainers. - Cool Braces serves patients from Oak Lawn, Berwyn, Cicero, Burbank, Evergreen Park, Oak Park, Forest Park, Riverside, Brookfield and surrounding Chicago-area communities. - The practice’s Oak Lawn office is at 9501 S Central Ave, 2nd Floor, Oak Lawn, IL 60453, and its Berwyn office is at 2140 Wesley Ave, Berwyn, IL 60402.

The bottom line: - Cool Braces is tying its new 25-year guarantee to one message: orthodontic care does not end when treatment ends, and eligible patients now have a formal path back if their smile changes later.
