Englewood Orthodontist

Orthodontic care at Sopris Smiles goes beyond straightening teeth. Dr. Golnaz Samimifar takes a whole-health approach to every case, evaluating your bite, gum health, and long-term oral function before any treatment begins. For cases requiring specialized orthodontic oversight, she collaborates directly with Dr. Matthew Stout, a board-certified orthodontist through BeSmyle — so patients of all ages receive a level of planning most general dental offices simply cannot match.

  • Board-certified orthodontic collaboration through BeSmyle for comprehensive, expertly planned treatment
  • Clear aligner options for kids, teens, and adults — no metal brackets, no referrals to a separate office
  • Accepting new patients of all ages — call us at (303) 761-2999 to book your appointment

Most adults spent years brushing off the idea of orthodontic treatment, telling themselves it could wait, until the day they realized straight teeth are not just about appearance. They are about keeping your mouth healthy, your bite balanced, and your smile intact for the rest of your life. If you have been thinking about orthodontic treatment but assumed it was only for teenagers, or worried about walking into an office and being handed a mouthful of metal, you are not alone.

At Sopris Smiles in Englewood, we take a different approach. Dr. Golnaz Samimifar and our team focus on the bigger picture. How your teeth fit together, how well you can clean them, and what that means for your long-term health. Our dental services go beyond the basics, and our approach to orthodontic care reflects the same commitment to quality and whole-person wellness that defines everything we do.

Why Adults Choose Clear Aligners

You have probably heard of Invisalign®. What Sopris Smiles offers is clear aligner treatment designed specifically for adults who want more than a straighter smile — those who want a healthier bite, a more functional mouth, and results built to last.

Straight Teeth Are a Health Investment, Not Just a Cosmetic One

When your teeth are crowded or misaligned, they are harder to clean. Plaque accumulates in tight spaces, increasing the risk of gum disease and decay. According to the American Association of Orthodontists, properly aligned teeth are easier to keep clean and contribute to better long-term oral health outcomes.

Easier to Clean
Aligned teeth eliminate tight overlapping spaces where plaque and bacteria accumulate — reducing decay and gum disease risk.
Balanced Bite Forces
Proper alignment distributes chewing pressure evenly, reducing wear, chipping, and stress on individual teeth over time.
Reduced Jaw Tension
A properly aligned bite reduces pressure on jaw joints and facial muscles — meaningful for patients experiencing sensitivity or grinding.
Healthier Gums
We evaluate periodontal health as part of every orthodontic conversation — gums and supporting bone matter as much as the teeth themselves.
Long-Term Protection
For patients who want to keep their natural teeth well into their 60s, 70s, and beyond — alignment earlier makes a measurable difference.

Same-Day Technology

Our Approach to Orthodontic Treatment

We believe orthodontic care is most effective when it is planned thoughtfully and carried out with proper clinical oversight. That is why we work with board-certified orthodontist Dr. Matt Stout through BeSmyle to ensure comprehensive treatment planning when needed. This collaborative approach means you receive the highest standard of care, with a specialist’s expertise behind every case.

What the Process Looks Like

Every orthodontic conversation at Sopris Smiles starts with a comprehensive evaluation of your teeth, bite, jaw function, and goals.

1
Comprehensive Evaluation
Dr. Golnaz reviews your teeth, bite alignment, jaw function, and aesthetic goals to determine the right approach for your specific situation.
2
Digital Scanning & CBCT Imaging
No messy trays. Digital impressions capture precise 3D models, and CBCT imaging gives us a complete view of your oral structures that X-rays cannot provide.
3
Orthodontic Treatment Planning
For cases requiring specialist input, Dr. Matt Stout (board-certified orthodontist, BeSmyle) reviews and co-designs your treatment plan with Dr. Golnaz.
4
Wearing Your Aligners
Clear aligners are worn throughout the day, removed only for eating, drinking anything other than water, and oral hygiene — fitting naturally into your routine.
5
Progress Monitoring
Regular check-ins track your tooth movement. Treatment timelines vary based on case complexity — we provide a realistic picture at your consultation.

The clear aligner experience for adults over 30 is often different from what they imagine — and usually far more manageable than they expected.

The Connection to Cosmetic and Restorative Goals

Many of our patients come to us with broader smile goals. They may be considering cosmetic dental services such as veneers, whitening, or other improvements — and we often recommend addressing alignment first. Cosmetic work lasts longer and looks better when the underlying bite and tooth position are stable.

Step 1
Orthodontic Treatment
Align the bite and tooth position — creating a stable, healthy foundation for everything that follows.
Step 2
Cosmetic Enhancement
Veneers, whitening, or bonding applied to a properly aligned smile — lasting longer and looking better on a stable base.
Step 3
Restorative Work (if needed)
Crowns, fillings, or implant restorations placed into a balanced bite — reducing future wear and protecting the investment.
Result
A Smile Built to Last
Health, function, and esthetics working together — a practical foundation for decades of reduced dental costs and confidence.

For patients in their 30s, 40s, and 50s who are thinking long-term, that combination is exactly the right framework. Straight teeth are not vanity. They are a practical foundation for a healthier mouth, reduced dental costs over time, and a smile you are genuinely proud of for decades to come.
