Braces Treatments Offered in Skokie by Board Certified Orthodontist, Dr. Michael Stosich
Metal Braces
Dr. Stosich’s patented, low-profile metal braces are an excellent option for patients looking for traditional, yet highly effective, orthodontic treatment. Dr. Stosich designed the brackets to be sleek, comfortable, and efficient.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces work the same way as metal braces but are designed to be more discrete. The brackets are made of clear or ceramic materials to help them blend in better.
Lingual Braces
Patients who want the highest level of discretion turn to lingual braces. These have the efficiency of traditional braces, but rather than being visible, they sit behind the teeth. This makes them completely out of sight to others.
Clear Aligners
iD Clear Aligners by SureSmile were designed by Dr. Stosich to be the most efficient and effective clear aligner option available. They require fewer aligner sets and fewer visits to Dr. Stosich during treatment.
Invisalign
Invisalign clear aligners are removable, comfortable, and clear. The BPA-free plastic aligners fit over the teeth to gently guide the teeth to their new locations.
At iDentity Orthodontics, braces or clear aligners are available for Skokie patients of all ages and budgets. We provide 0% payment options making braces affordable for everyone. Visit your board-certified orthodontist in Skokie today! Ask for our “Skokie Braces” promotions.

Skokie Orthodontic Care for Patients of All Ages
Skokie orthodontic patients of all ages love the high-quality care they receive at iDentity Orthodontics.
Orthodontics for Kids
Children should visit an orthodontist by the age of seven, as suggested by the American Academy of Orthodontists. At this time, the orthodontist can see how the smile is beginning to take shape and monitor the growth of the jaw. When treatment is needed, it can then begin at the right time to have the most impact.
Orthodontics for Teens
Dr. Stosich knows the teen years can sometimes be difficult, so he offers discrete treatment options for his teen patients. Straighten your teeth with clear aligners or braces provided by the best orthodontist in the Skokie area. Call now (224-408-2200) to schedule your free consultation
Orthodontics for Adults
Today, nearly one in four orthodontic patients are adults. That’s because healthy teeth can be moved at any age. Dr. Stosich offers a host of treatment options, so there is sure to be one to fit into your busy lifestyle.
Retainers Provided by iDentity Orthodontics for Skokie Patients
Retainers work to hold the teeth in their new locations once your braces are removed. They are an important part of your treatment plan. Patients in Skokie can choose between fixed or removable retainers provided by iDentity Orthodontics.
Removable retainers
Removable retainers are made up of different materials. The most common material is metal. The type of material will depend on the patient’s preference and what fits best with their lifestyle, age and orthodontic treatment plan.
Removable retainer options include Hawley, plastic and wire retainers, or Essix, retainers designed like a clear aligner.
Bonded or fixed retainers
Fixed retainers are placed by Dr. Stosich and can’t be removed on their own. They are recommended for patients who indicate a high risk of relapse.
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!

How to Handle a Braces Emergency in Skokie
True orthodontic emergencies are rare, but you may sometimes hit some bumps in the road during your treatment. When they pop up, it’s important to know how to handle them.
- Pain or discomfort – We’re moving teeth through bone, so there will sometimes be some discomfort. Over-the-counter pain medications should help. Warm salt water rinses are another way to find relief. If there is a painful area, use orthodontic wax to protect your mouth.
- Loose brackets – We can bond a loose bracket back in place at your next visit. In the meantime, use some wax to hold the bracket in place.
- Poking wire – A poking wire can be painful to the inside of your mouth. Use a sterilized pair of nail clippers to clip the wire and then place orthodontic wax over the area to prevent further irritation.
If you experience a true emergency in Skokie or have any other question about your treatment, contact iDentity Orthodontics.
