Welcome to Edwards Orthodontics

Meet Dr. Kenneth Edwards

Dr. Kenneth Edwards grew up right here in Hillsboro, IL, and returning home to open his own practice was always part of the plan. His journey into orthodontics started after college, when a job at an orthodontic laboratory gave him a close-up look at the craft and made the path forward clear. He went on to earn his dental degree from Midwestern University College of Dental Medicine in 2015 and completed his orthodontic residency at Saint Louis University Center for Advanced Dental Education in 2017. With 9 years of clinical experience and memberships in the AAO, ADA, Greater St. Louis Orthodontic Society, and the Illinois Society of Orthodontists, Dr. Edwards brings serious training and genuine passion to every patient he sees.

What drives Dr. Edwards isn't just the clinical side of orthodontics. It's the freedom to practice the way he believes is right: thoughtfully, personally, and with a real focus on making treatment accessible and enjoyable for everyone who walks through the door.

An office unlike anything you've seen before

The team at Edwards Orthodontics shares one goal: making every visit feel easy and genuinely enjoyable. From the front desk to the treatment chair, the focus is on clear communication, efficient appointments, and a patient experience that doesn't feel rushed or clinical. This is a small practice by design, which means patients get real attention and a consistent experience every time they come in.

The office itself was built to feel nothing like a typical dental or orthodontic practice. Great music plays at all times, complimentary Liquid Death water is stocked in the waiting room, and TVs and handheld games keep things comfortable while you wait. Everything runs digitally, from paperless new patient forms to text-friendly scheduling and a patient portal for managing appointments and payments. The whole setup is designed to remove friction and make the process as smooth as possible from day one.

Orthodontic treatment built around you

Edwards Orthodontics specializes in orthodontic treatment for kids, teens, and adults across Hillsboro and the surrounding county, including Litchfield, Nokomis, Greenville, Gillespie, and beyond. Whether you're interested in traditional metal braces, ceramic braces, or Angel Align clear aligners, Dr. Edwards will build a treatment plan tailored specifically to your smile, your timeline, and your budget. For patients with more complex needs, Dr. Edwards also offers surgical orthodontics, one of his favorite and most rewarding areas of treatment.

Affordability is a core part of the practice philosophy. Nearly every patient at Edwards Orthodontics is on a payment plan that works for their budget, because the belief here is that cost should never be the reason someone doesn't get the smile they want. All consultations are free, and the new patient special makes getting started simple: free exam and records, a full diagnosis and treatment plan, and just $250 down to begin.
