What makes iDentity Orthodontics different from other practices in Wilmette Area
Braces Treatments Offered in Wilmette
Today’s metal braces aren’t like those of the past, and Dr. Spector’s patented low-profile metal braces are light years ahead of the pack. They are sleek, comfortable and highly efficient.
For patients looking for the efficiency of metal braces, but slightly more discreet, ceramic braces are a great option. Designed to blend in with your natural smile, the brackets are made of clear or tooth-colored materials.
Lingual braces provide all the efficiency of metal braces but are totally invisible to others. That’s because they are designed to fit over the tongue side of the teeth, making them totally hidden from view.
iD Clear Aligners by SureSmile are Dr. Spector’s expert take on clear aligners. They are more efficient and effective and require fewer office visits than Invisalign.
Invisalign clear aligners offer an excellent way to get the smile you’ve always wanted without drawing more attention to yourself. The aligners are clear, comfortable and removable, making treatment a snap.

Dr. Spector and iDentity Orthodontics provide highly customized, efficient and effective treatment for Wilmette patients of all ages.

Retainers Provided by iDentity Orthodontics for Wilmette Patients
Retainers are a very important part of your orthodontic treatment, working to retain your teeth in their new locations. Dr. Spector offers removable and fixed retainers for her patients in Wilmette.
Removable retainers
- Hawley retainer – a metal wire that goes over the teeth to hold them in place and a plastic piece that sits on the palate
- Essix retainer – a clear and removable retainer that looks like a clear aligner
Bonded or fixed retainers
Fixed retainers are bonded directly to the teeth and can only be removed by your orthodontist. They are used in patients who have a high indication 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 Wilmette
During the course of your treatment, you may encounter some minor emergencies. True orthodontic emergencies are very rare, but some of the most common issues that may arise can be taken care of at home.
- Orthodontic treatment is not without a bit of soreness or discomfort. If you experience pain or soreness after your braces are placed or after an adjustment, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever to help. Warm saltwater rinses are also a great way to provide relief. Use orthodontic wax to cover any areas that irritate the inside of your mouth.
- If a bracket should come loose, don’t worry – it can be bonded back into place at your next visit. In the meantime, if it bothers you, you can use orthodontic wax to hold the bracket in place.
- If a wire is poking you and causing pain or irritation, use a pair of sterilized nail clippers to clip off the offending part of the wire. Then place orthodontic wax over the area.
