Englewood Orthodontist

At Sopris Smiles, we believe everyone deserves a beautiful, healthy smile that inspires confidence. We offer advanced clear aligner therapy with exceptional results for orthodontic treatment in Englewood, Colorado. Our approach combines cutting-edge technology with personalized care to create straighter smiles more comfortably and discreetly than traditional braces.

Our Englewood dental practice provides comprehensive orthodontic solutions under the expert guidance of Dr. Golnaz Samimifar. What sets our orthodontic care apart is our collaboration with Besmyle and board-certified orthodontist Dr. Matt Stout, who consults on all our clear aligner cases. This partnership ensures you receive treatment plans developed with specialized orthodontic expertise while enjoying the convenience of receiving care at your familiar dental home.

Clear Aligner Therapy vs. Traditional Braces

Clear aligner therapy has revolutionized orthodontic treatment, offering significant advantages over traditional metal braces. When you choose clear aligners at Sopris Smiles, you benefit from enhanced aesthetics, improved comfort, and exceptional convenience.

Aesthetic Advantages

Clear aligners like Invisalign are nearly invisible, making them an excellent choice for adults and teens concerned about their appearance during treatment. Unlike metal braces, which have noticeable brackets and wires, clear aligners allow you to smile confidently throughout your orthodontic journey without feeling self-conscious.

Many of our patients report receiving compliments on their smiles even while actively undergoing treatment, as the aligners’ transparent nature makes them difficult to detect in everyday conversations and photographs.

Improved Comfort

The smooth plastic material of clear aligners eliminates the discomfort often associated with traditional braces. You won’t experience the irritation to your cheeks and gums that metal brackets and wires can cause. Additionally, the pressure applied by clear aligners tends to be more gradual and consistent, potentially reducing discomfort during adjustments.

Patients often describe the sensation of their aligners as a gentle pressure rather than the soreness commonly reported with traditional braces, particularly after wire tightening appointments. This enhanced comfort means less disruption to your daily life and fewer emergency visits for issues like broken brackets or poking wires.

Enhanced Convenience

One of the most significant advantages of clear aligners is their removability. You can take them out when eating, which means no food restrictions during treatment. This removability also makes maintaining oral hygiene simple – you can brush and floss normally without navigating around brackets and wires.

The ability to remove aligners also proves beneficial for special occasions or essential presentations when you prefer to be entirely aligner-free for a short period. However, for optimal results, we recommend wearing your aligners for 20-22 hours daily, removing them only for eating, drinking anything besides water, and your oral hygiene routine.

Our Unique Orthodontic Approach

At Sopris Smiles, we provide orthodontic treatment in partnership with Besmyle, offering several distinct advantages. These benefits include:

Board-Certified Orthodontic Oversight

Unlike many general dental practices offering clear aligners, we partner with Besmyle and board-certified orthodontist Dr. Matt Stout, who reviews and consults on all our orthodontic cases. This collaboration ensures your treatment plan incorporates specialized orthodontic expertise for optimal results.

Dr. Stout’s extensive training and experience in orthodontics complement Dr. Samimifar’s comprehensive dental knowledge, creating an integrative approach that addresses both the aesthetic and functional aspects of your smile transformation. This dual expertise is vital for identifying and addressing potential complications before they arise.

Comprehensive Digital Planning

Your orthodontic journey begins with detailed digital scanning using our advanced intraoral scanner. This technology creates precise 3D models of your teeth without the discomfort of traditional impressions. These digital models allow us to:

  • Design your custom treatment plan with exact measurements
  • Show you a virtual preview of your projected results
  • Create perfectly fitted aligners for maximum effectiveness
  • Track your progress with exceptional accuracy throughout the treatment

This technology-forward approach eliminates many traditional orthodontic inconveniences while improving treatment precision. The ability to visualize your results before beginning treatment provides peace of mind and clarity about what to expect from your orthodontic journey.

Personalized Treatment Experience

We know achieving a beautiful smile involves more than just moving teeth. At Sopris Smiles, we take time to understand your specific concerns, lifestyle considerations, and smile goals. Our treatment recommendations consider the technical aspects of tooth movement and how treatment fits into your life.

Some patients prioritize treatment speed for an upcoming wedding or graduation. Others might prioritize minimizing appointment frequency due to busy schedules or travel commitments. We work with you to find the approach that best balances successful results with your personal preferences.

Common Orthodontic Issues We Treat

Clear aligner therapy can effectively address numerous minor to moderate orthodontic concerns. At Sopris Smiles, we treat patients with alignment problems, such as crowded teeth, by gradually creating proper spacing. This improves appearance and makes teeth easier to clean, reducing the risk of decay and gum disease.

Gaps & Cosmetic Concerns

We also address gaps between teeth (diastema), bringing teeth into proper alignment for aesthetic and functional improvements. Many patients seek our help for specific cosmetic dental concerns, such as a single rotated tooth or minor crowding affecting their front teeth. Our clear aligner approach can target these isolated issues efficiently, often in less time than traditional orthodontic treatment.

Bite Irregularities

Bite irregularities are another category of concerns we successfully treat, including overbites (upper teeth extending too far over lower teeth), underbites (lower teeth positioned in front of upper teeth), or crossbites (misalignment where upper teeth sit inside lower teeth). Correcting these issues can enhance your smile’s appearance, improve chewing function, and reduce abnormal wear patterns on your teeth.

Complex Conditions

For more complex orthodontic situations, our partnership with Besmyle allows us to develop comprehensive treatment approaches that may combine different techniques for optimal results. During your consultation, we’ll thoroughly evaluate your specific situation and discuss whether clear aligners are the ideal solution for your needs.
