After 10 Years, Nak4 Orthodontics Celebrates New Home

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, IL —As the pandemic hit, Nak4 Orthodontics was in the midst of packing up and moving from its home for nearly 10 years on Dunton Street, to a fully-renovated space at 602 W. Northwest Highway.

“We were so excited to welcome patients to what we now call a gem on Northwest Highway,” says Dr. Bryan Nakfoor. “Obviously we couldn’t celebrate the opening the way we wanted, so we are thrilled to commemorate our first anniversary with the community!”

The anniversary party and ribbon tying event consisted of the popular Kona Ice truck, serving up it’s signature build-your-own flavor bar to over 200 party goers of all ages, in Nak4 souvenir cups, along with music, prizes and an open house. Mayor Hayes and village trustee members, tied a ribbon on the practice, formally gifting it to the Arlington Heights community. Mayor Hayes addressed attendees, thanking the Nak4 team for their "loyalty and dedication to our great community; it’s businesses like you and individuals like you and all of your team that make Arlington Heights such a great community.”

From the outside, the building bares little resemblance to the Clementi’s restaurant it was for several years before its most recent vacancy. Its bright white exterior with contrasting blue trim highlights a Nak4 Orthodontics logo on either side of its dual-sided entrance. The complementary landscaping winds around a connecting paver patio, illuminated at night by built-in lanterns.

Once inside, patients are greeted by a large fireplace in the round, reminiscent of a Colorado ski lodge, which was Dr. Nakfoor’s inspiration in creating a feeling of familial comfort. The coordinating decor is cozy rustic, with deep rich brown chairs, warm Edison bulb fixtures and a hand-carved reclaimed wood reception desk. “One of our core values is that we treat patients like family. There’s no place I’d rather be than sitting around a fireplace with my family. I really wanted to emulate that feeling here.”

The building also houses the practice’s state-of-the-art technology, one of the reasons why Dr. Nakfoor and his team have been recognized by Invisalign as Diamond+ provider, a distinction reserved for the top 1% of all Invisalign providers in the world.

“We could not be happier with our new location, its comfort and convenience for our Nak4 family,” said Dr. Nakfoor. "We are looking forward to creating beautiful smiles here for decades to come.”
