About
Dr. Brady grew up in the western suburbs of Chicago and attended Fenwick High School. He received a baseball scholarship to Davidson College where he earned a BS in Psychology. While still a student, he met his wife Misty, who played on the field hockey team.
He considered pursuing medicine after graduating but found a love for dentistry because it allows you to create not only beautiful smiles, but also form lifelong bonds with patients and their families.
Dr. Brady earned a Doctor of Dental Medicine from the University of Louisville School of Dentistry. While at dental school Dr. Brady discovered a passion for orthodontics. He was amazed at the transformation that happens during treatment. Compared to doing crowns and fillings it's a much more rewarding process. The self-esteem and confidence from a beautiful smile can be life-changing.
After dental school Dr. Brady returned to the midwest to attend the University of Iowa College of Dentistry where he received his master's and Certificate of Orthodontics. As an orthodontic student, Dr. Brady presented research at national meetings for the American Dental Education Association and the American Association of Orthodontics.
Dr. Brady’s wife Misty is originally from Virginia Beach. It took some arm twisting, but he eventually got her to move to the frigid Chicago suburbs where he grew up.
Misty coaches field hockey so they narrowed their search to the northern suburbs, where most of the field hockey in Chicago is. They were lucky enough to land in the Northshore and moved to Northfield with their young son Walter and little girl Wren. Misty has coached with Windy City Field Hockey since 2017 and became the head coach at Loyola Academy in 2019.
Dr. Brady doesn't have many other hobbies besides teeth. In his spare time he recently started the admissions process to join the Angle Society of Orthodontics. It's a study club with some of the biggest names in orthodontics as members. You have to jump through hoops that are even harder than our boards exams to be accepted. It's a lot of work, but he knows the lessons he learns will help improve treatment for all of his patients.
