Discreet Adult Orthodontics in Post Falls, ID
Straighten Your Smile with Clear Aligner Therapy
At Post Falls Family Dental, we believe that achieving a straighter, more confident smile shouldn’t require years of uncomfortable metal braces. That’s why we offer modern adult orthodontic solutions designed to fit your lifestyle and timeline. Both options are effective, comfortable, and discreet, making them ideal for adults in Post Falls and throughout Kootenai County who want to improve their smile without disrupting their daily routine.
Why Consider Adult Orthodontics?
Many adults assume it's "too late" to straighten their teeth, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Whether you missed out on orthodontics as a teen or your teeth have shifted over time, you still have options that are faster and more convenient than ever before.
Some common reasons patients seek orthodontic treatment include:
Crowded or overlapping teeth
Gaps between teeth
Mild bite misalignment
Shifting due to aging or past dental work
Cosmetic confidence for professional or personal reasons
Whether you're preparing for a life event, aiming to boost self-esteem, or want to improve oral health, straightening your teeth has long-term benefits.
Meet the Options Such As Six Month Smiles® and Invisalign®
Post Falls Family Dental offers two leading orthodontic treatments—each with unique benefits to help you find your best fit.
Six Month Smiles®
Rapid Results with Discreet Clear Braces
Six Month Smiles® is a modern orthodontic system designed specifically for adults who want fast, subtle changes to their front teeth—the ones most visible when you smile.
Key Features:
Treatment Time: Average of six months
Appearance: Clear brackets and tooth-colored wires
Focus: Primarily cosmetic alignment of the front teeth
Comfort: Gentle, low-force movement
Affordability: Typically lower cost than full braces or long-term treatments
This system is ideal if you’re looking to fix crooked or spaced front teeth without a dramatic overhaul of your bite.
Why Post Falls Patients Love It
Six Month Smiles® is a great choice for weddings, job interviews, reunions, or any milestone where a confident smile matters. Many patients in Post Falls, Rathdrum, and Coeur d’Alene choose this option for its speed and simplicity.
Invisalign®
Virtually Invisible Aligners for a Lifestyle-Friendly Fix
Invisalign® offers a completely different approach to orthodontics—one that skips brackets and wires entirely. Instead, you’ll wear a custom-made series of clear plastic aligners that gradually shift your teeth over time.
Key Features:
Appearance: Nearly invisible aligners
Removability: Take them out to eat, brush, or attend social events
Treatment Range: Great for mild to moderate spacing, crowding, and bite issues
Average Treatment Time: 12–18 months (varies by case)
Predictability: Computer-guided treatment planning for precise results
Perfect for Adults on the Go
Many busy professionals and parents in Kootenai County prefer Invisalign because it fits into their schedule with minimal disruption. You won’t have to change what you eat or how you brush—just wear your aligners as directed, and your smile transforms over time.
Choosing the Right Treatment for You
Not sure which treatment fits your needs? That’s what we’re here for.
At Post Falls Family Dental, we conduct a personalized orthodontic consultation that includes:
A detailed dental exam and X-rays
3D scans or impressions
Smile goals discussion
A clear breakdown of expected timelines and costs
Some patients may benefit from a hybrid approach, or may need minor restorative or cosmetic work to complement their straightening plan.
Benefits of Adult Orthodontics in Kootenai County
Straight teeth aren’t just a cosmetic upgrade—they support better oral health and improved function. Here are just a few benefits:
Easier cleaning: Straighter teeth are easier to brush and floss, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.
Better bite: Aligned teeth reduce uneven pressure and potential wear on your enamel.
More confidence: You’ll smile more freely in photos, social settings, and professional environments.
Improved speech and chewing: Correct alignment can improve functionality and reduce strain on your jaw.
Our patients from Post Falls, Hayden, Spirit Lake, and surrounding areas often say their only regret is not starting sooner.
