Braces Offered by iDentity Orthodontics in Evanston
Metal Braces
Today’s metal braces aren’t like those of the past, and Dr. Spector’s patented, low-profile braces are the sleekest and most comfortable around. Evanston patients of all ages enjoy the highly efficient braces.
Ceramic Braces
For patients looking for an even lower profile, ceramic braces are a great option. They pair the efficacy of metal braces with the discretion patients want. Brackets can be either tooth-colored or clear and are very efficient in moving teeth while blending in with the natural smile.
Lingual Braces
The most discreet orthodontic treatment option today is lingual braces. These are metal braces with an interesting twist. Instead of being placed on the outside of the teeth, the brackets and wires are fit on the lingual, or tongue, side of the teeth. Ther makes them invisible to others. Lingual braces are completely customized for the individual patient.
Clear Aligners
Many patients love the idea of clear aligners because ther treatment is not only clear, it’s also comfortable and removable. Dr. Spector’s patients can enjoy one of two different options.
iD Clear Aligners by SureSmile are the most precise clear aligner system available. They were designed and patented by Dr. Spector and require fewer aligner sets than Invisalign. They also require fewer office visits.
Invisalign
Invisalign clear aligners can straighten your smile comfortably and discreetly. The removable aligner sets are perfectly calibrated to guide your teeth to their new locations, with the result being your perfect smile.
Dr. Spector and her team at iDentity Orthodontics take many patients from Evanston, IL. We provide all types of braces treatments, including metal braces, clear aligners, and lingual braces.

iDentity Orthodontics Retainers for Evanston Patients
Retainers are an important part of your orthodontic care. Without a retainer, your teeth will want to drift back to their old locations because the bones and ligaments need time to solidify in the new locations. Evanston patients can choose either a removable Hawley retainer, a removable Essix retainer, or a fixed retainer.
Removable retainers
- Hawley retainer – metal wire that goes over the teeth and plastic piece that sits on the palate
- Essix retainer – clear, removable retainer similar to a clear aligner
Fixed retainers
Retainer that is bonded directly to the teeth and is not removable
Your teeth may be feeling unaligned. Or, it could be the retaining wire keeping them in place is too loose. We recommend making an appointment to get your retainers checked!

Handling Braces Emergencies in Evanston
A true braces emergency is rare, but you may encounter some inconveniences during your treatment.
- Discomfort – Unfortunately, orthodontic treatment does come with a bit of discomfort. You may experience some pain and soreness, especially after your braces are first placed or after an adjustment. Take an over-the-counter pain medication or use a saltwater rinse to help provide relief. Use orthodontic wax over areas of your braces that irritate your mouth.
- Loose bracket – A loose bracket can be bonded back in place at your next visit. If it irritates you, hold it in place with some orthodontic wax.
- Poking wire – Clip the offending part of the wire using a pair of sterilized nail clippers and then place wax over it.
- Injury to the mouth or face – Call emergency services or your doctor as needed. Call your orthodontist if damage occurs to your orthodontic appliance.
