Grayslake, IL – Some people find that one day they look in the mirror and notice a smile that looks slightly off. Even if you’ve undergone orthodontic treatment at some point in your life, you may find that as you age your smile starts to shift slightly. This is completely common, and fixable.
Kenilworth, IL – Everybody wants a gorgeously straight smile that they can show off, but the idea of months in orthodontic treatment may not seem appealing. Many people may look for other ways to get the smile they want. And, if their only goal in mind is a pretty smile, they may think a cosmetic option such as veneers is ideal. After all, veneers only take a couple visits to your dentist’s office to change the appearance of your smile.
But, while you may think the only thing that is being accomplished during orthodontic treatment is a more cosmetically pleasing smile, you would be wrong. Orthodontic treatment doesn’t just create prettier smiles, it creates healthier and more stable bites.
North Shore, IL – A new year often brings about resolutions, typically centered around ways we can better ourselves.

If you have plans to make 2021 your best year yet, why not add a smile makeover to that list?
Grayslake, IL – More adults than ever are turning to orthodontic treatment to get the smiles they’ve always wanted. Today, nearly one in four orthodontic patients is an adult. Orthodontic treatment not only creates a more beautiful smile, it creates a better bite, allowing for teeth to fit together better and decrease the risk of future dental problems.
But there is a lot to know about orthodontic treatment. Dr. Michael Stosich of iDentity Orthodontics explains getting braces or using clear aligner therapy, such as Invisalign, as an adult.

Kenilworth, IL – Today, nearly one in four orthodontic patients is an adult. The reasons for seeking out the orthodontic treatment are as varied as the patients themselves, but it is never too late to get the smile you’ve always wanted. At iDentity Orthodontics, Dr. Michael Stosich loves treating patients of all ages and offers a variety of treatment options depending on the patient’s needs.
If you are on any type of social media, chances are good you’ve seen advertisements for some braces-to-mail companies. These companies offer the advantages of Invisalign clear aligners, but without ever having to leave your house. But can you really get that dream smile without ever setting foot in an orthodontist’s office?
Dr. Michael Stosich, a Chicago-area orthodontist and clear aligner expert, says no.
“Being able to get a straighter smile without ever having to see an orthodontist sounds tempting to a lot of people,” says Dr. Stosich. “But even though you may think you are saving time and money, the reviews don’t add up. There are so many intricacies that go into the tooth straightening process, and working without a highly skilled orthodontist may leave you with a smile no better than what you started with.”
What is TMJ Disorder?

Patients who suffer from TMJ problems will experience clicking of the jaw at the joints, jaw and/or facial pain, headaches, earaches, locking of the jaw, worn teeth and ringing in the ears.
