Why More Adults Are Choosing to Straighten Their Teeth
You’re not alone if you've ever felt self-conscious about crooked teeth, gaps in your smile, or have trouble cleaning crowded teeth. Many adults put off orthodontic treatment in their teens or have experienced orthodontic relapse over the years.
But here’s the good news: today’s solutions are nothing like the metal braces you might remember from high school.
Modern orthodontics is:
Virtually invisible
Comfortable and non-disruptive
Faster than ever before
Designed to fit into a busy adult lifestyle
From young professionals to parents and retirees, we help adults throughout Post Falls and Kootenai County improve their smiles with subtle, effective solutions.
Meet the Options: Six Month Smiles® and Sure Smile
At Post Falls Family Dental, we proudly offer two trusted orthodontic systems that provide different paths to the same goal—a straighter, healthier smile.
Six Month Smiles®
Clear Braces, Rapid Results
Six Month Smiles® is an innovative cosmetic braces system that focuses on the teeth that show when you smile. Using clear brackets and tooth-colored wires, it gently straightens teeth in about six months on average—much faster than traditional braces.
Best For:
Mild to moderate spacing or crowding
Cosmetic alignment of front teeth
Adults seeking fast results for events or life milestones
What Makes It Unique:
Discreet appearance with clear components
Low force for a more comfortable experience
Focused on aesthetics, not bite correction
Typically more affordable than full orthodontic treatment
No Need for Compliance
If you want a straighter smile in time for a wedding, reunion, or professional goal, Six Month Smiles® offers the perfect balance of speed and subtlety.
Sure Smile
Clear Aligners, Total Flexibility
Sure Smile, similar to Invisalign, is the original and most advanced clear aligner system. It works by guiding your teeth into position with a series of custom-made, removable aligners that are nearly invisible.
Best For:
Mild to moderate misalignment or bite issues
Adults who prefer a non-bracket option
Patients who want the freedom to eat and brush normally
Why Patients in Post Falls Love Sure Smile:
No brackets, wires, or dietary restrictions
Aligners can be removed for meals, photos, or meetings
Smooth and comfortable to wear
Digital planning provides predictable, personalized results
You simply wear each aligner set for about 1–2 weeks before switching to the next. With consistent use (20–22 hours per day), Invisalign gradually transforms your smile—often in 12–18 months.

FAQs About Six Month Smiles & Invisalign-like Solutions
How do I know which option is right for me?
We’ll help you decide based on your smile goals, the complexity of your case, and your lifestyle. Six Month Smiles is great for fast cosmetic results, while Invisalign is better for more comprehensive alignment.

Not at all. While both treatments improve appearance, they also make it easier to brush, floss, and maintain long-term oral health—reducing your risk of gum disease and tooth decay.
Does insurance cover Invisalign or Six Month Smiles?
Some dental plans include adult orthodontic benefits. We’ll review your coverage and provide affordable payment plans to fit your budget.
