Who is Dr. Neil?

Dr. Neil Warshawsky is a true Chicago native, born and bred. He attained all his college training from the University of Illinois, where he earned a total of five college degrees, culminating in his Orthodontic Certificate. Today, he divides his time among the three pillars that support his practice.

Dr. Neil leads a world-class staff at Get It Straight Orthodontics. With four locations spread across the city and suburbs, they are a very high-energy, dynamic practice that concentrates on delivering customized orthodontic solutions in comfortable, inviting atmospheres.

High-end cosmetic efficiency is the focus of this patient-driven practice. However, as you walk around the offices, you will quickly notice that there is more to the practice than just a pretty space. From paperless documents to our online portal and the mobile website, the practice is completely designed to leverage today’s most advanced technologies. We want to make sure every patient’s expectations are met and every question answered.

When he is not in his private practice, Dr. Warshawsky is an Associate Professor of Orthodontics at the Craniofacial Center at the University of Illinois Health Center. With more than 18 years of cleft palate team experience and a vast knowledge of 3D imaging, he manages a large majority of the craniofacial cleft palate orthodontic cases.

Dr. Warshawsky feels very fortunate to have the opportunity to practice orthodontics, and enjoys the ability to give back routinely at the University in a place that “Makes a Difference where it matters most.”

To stay current, Dr. Warshawsky may be found on the road some 40+ times per year lecturing to audiences literally around the world on a number of subjects, including building clear aligners, lingual orthodontics, and the use of fixed skeletal anchorage for more efficient mechanics.

With more than 18 articles published and several active clinical trials current at any given moment, Dr. Neil stays busy!

Dr. Neil Warshawsky has been instrumental in helping develop several different aligner systems. A user of the Invisalign system since 1999, he garnered a plethora of experience in clear aligner therapy early on. He is an original member of their Century Club, the top 100 Invisalign^® users. He used his experience with aligners to master the Essix technique—the system that Invisalign was based upon. Dr. Neil Warshawsky taught the principles of the Essix technique for Dentsply for almost a decade.

Today, Dr. Neil Warshawsky is a key opinion leader for 3M Oral Healthcare and speaks regularly on several topics ranging from the Clarity™ aligner system to patient-centric care.

Outside of work, Dr. Neil is an Assistant Scoutmaster for Boy Scouts Troop 156 in Glenview, Illinois. When he is not working, he may be found at home with his high school sweetheart or one of their three kids, or fishing at their family cabin in the Northern woods of Wisconsin.
