A Practical Solution For Adult Orthodontics

Postponing orthodontic care because you do not want to commit to two years of brackets often means missing out on a smile you feel good about for upcoming life events. Denali Dental Care offers Six Month Smiles® as a targeted solution for adults who prioritize speed. This system focuses specifically on the teeth that show when you laugh or speak, rather than attempting to move your entire bite or back molars.

By using subtle, clear materials, the practice ensures your treatment remains discreet. This approach is ideal if you have a wedding, graduation, or job interview on the horizon and need a reliable timeline that fits into a busy schedule.

• Cosmetic Focus: Treatment concentrates on the teeth in the front of your mouth.
• Discreet Materials: Barely noticeable components help maintain your appearance during treatment.
• Predictable Timelines: Most patients complete their care in four to nine months.

Discover Your First Visit

Designing Your Clear Braces System

When you visit our office, we can take an impression of your teeth to determine if you are a candidate for Six Month Smiles®. By sending this information to a lab specialist, they will create a custom bonding tray that contains a prefabricated set of braces ready to apply. At your follow-up appointment, we will apply your orthodontic appliances and give you instructions on maintaining them during the corrective period. At monthly intervals, we ask that you come in to receive wire adjustments. At the end of treatment, you can enjoy a more uniform smile to show off to others!

How Does It Work In Only Six Months?

Six Month Smiles® utilizes specialized technology to shift teeth into a more pleasing position. Unlike traditional braces that aim to change your fundamental bite structure or move heavy back teeth, this method is designed to address the “social” aspects of your smile. Because the large molars stay in place, the process requires significantly less time and fewer office visits.

Our doctors use this system to address common concerns like crowding, overlapping, or small gaps. It provides a fixed solution, which means you do not have to worry about losing removable trays or remembering to put aligners back in after every meal.

Your Path to Results

Moving from crowded teeth to a more aligned look involves a few simple steps:

• The Clinical Exam: The team takes impressions of your teeth to ensure you are a candidate for short-term corrective care.
• Custom System Design: A specialized laboratory creates a custom bonding tray that fits your teeth exactly, allowing for a faster and more efficient application appointment.
• Regular Adjustments: Brief visits at monthly intervals allow the doctor to monitor your progress and make small adjustments to the wires.
• The Reveal: Once the teeth are aligned, the appliances are removed, and you can enjoy a more uniform result.

Additional Options For Orthodontic Treatment

We also offer clear aligner treatment from Invisalign® to help straighten your smile. Clear aligners provide a set of translucent trays custom-fitted to your unique bite. By wearing your aligners 20 to 22 hours per day, they gradually pull your teeth into position. Because they are removable, clear aligners allow you to easily maintain your oral hygiene when taking them off to brush or eat.
