You may have wanted orthodontic treatment, but the thought of spending two or three years in braces doesn't appeal to you. The team at Skyview Dental understands. That's why we're proud to offer short-term orthodontics in Moses Lake. With these options, you can:

  • Complete your orthodontic care in months, not years
  • Get beautiful results faster

Unleash a Beautiful Smile With Aligners or Six Month Smiles

Just because you need orthodontic treatment doesn't mean you need to spend long months in braces. If you're an adult who never got the opportunity for orthodontics when you were younger, you'll welcome the chance to straighten your teeth quickly and more discreetly. Teens also love our fast orthodontic options. With our treatment, they can complete their care in less time and get on with being a teenager.

Our team will help you decide on the treatment that's right for your situation. We offer two types of short-term orthodontic care:

  • Invisalign - With Invisalign treatment, you'll wear comfortable, clear teeth aligners. The aligners will gently move your crooked teeth into their ideal positions. Many Invisalign patients complete their care in as few as 12 months.
  • Six Month Smiles - You could complete your Six Month Smiles treatment in as few as 180 days. You'll love the clear brackets and tooth-colored wires that make your treatment hidden from those around you.

Begin Your Journey to a More Even Smile

Invisalign clear aligners and Six Month Smiles aren't the solution for everyone's orthodontic issues. Fortunately, it's easy to find out if they are a good fit for you. If neither approach is right for you, Dr. Despain can place traditional metal braces or clear ceramic braces.

Here is what you can expect from your short-term orthodontic treatment process:

  • To start, Dr. Despain will determine if you are a good candidate for these fast orthodontic options. He'll take panoramic X-rays and digital scans to have a complete view of your teeth. Then, if you are a candidate, he'll design a treatment plan using 3-D scans of your teeth.
  • If you are pursuing clear aligners, your dentist will send the information to Invisalign so they can manufacture your aligners. You'll pick up your aligners at our office when they are ready. You'll wear them for about 20 to 22 hours a day, changing to a new set every two or three weeks.
  • You will need to return to our office for periodic checkups. Invisalign will not require any adjustments, although Dr. Despain will check your progress. For Six Month Smiles, your dentist will need to make adjustments.
  • For Six Month Smiles, in only months, you'll return to our office to get your braces removed. For the clear aligners, you will complete treatment in about 12 months. For both options, we'll give you a retainer that you'll wear to keep your teeth in their proper position.

Whether you are an older teen wanting to avoid metal braces or an adult who never had the chance to fix their teeth, we have a solution for everyone. We've seen patients in their 50s, 60s, and 70s have successful treatment!

I wasn’t raised with the best dental hygiene, and over the years I’ve had just about every bad dental experience you can imagine. I’ve always related to the saying, “what can go wrong, will go wrong” when it came to dentist visits. My mouth isn’t in the best shape, and I have extremely high dental anxiety — to the point that I’ve actually passed out many times during procedurs. Because of that, it’s been really hard to keep up with or even try to fix the mess I felt stuck with. Recently, a tooth that was already broken lost another corner, leaving me with basically half a tooth. While waiting for that appointment, a cavity on the other side of my mouth popped out, again what can go wrong will go wrong.I was terrified about the upcoming procedure because putting me under usually costs too much — and that’s the only way I’ve ever been able to get through treatment. But the oral sedation they used was amazing. For the first time ever, I felt like I was actually part of my dental care without being fully aware of every detail. The team was kind, gentle, and patient. I got same-day crowns that look fantastic, and when I see them, I actually want to smile. For someone like me, who’s always dreaded the dentist, this was honestly the best experience I’ve ever had. I finally have hope for my future dental health, and I’m so grateful to this team for giving me that.

(Translated by Google) I'm very happy with the dental cleaning and crown I had. I can see that they love their profession here. I highly recommend them. (Original) Estoy muy contento con la limpieza dental y una corona que me an hecho. en este lugar miro que aman su profesion, se los recomiendo.

I took my husband here for major dental work under sedation. This was FINALLY a good dental experience for him. With his high anxiety towards dentists due to terrible past experiences, he was made to feel at ease at Skyview Dental. They were calm, patient, and understanding of his fears....

Commonly Asked Questions About Short-Term Orthodontics

What is short-term orthodontics?

Short-term orthodontics is an alternative to standard metal braces. Just as the name implies, these orthodontic options will straighten teeth quicker than braces, giving you a new smile in a shorter time frame. We offer Invisalign and Six Month Smiles, both of which give you a straighter smile in months rather than years. We also provide preventive orthodontics that can help children avoid full treatment with braces.

How much do short-term orthodontics cost?

The exact cost for your or your child's short-term orthodontics can vary widely. The type of treatment needed and the length of treatment will determine how much you'll ultimately pay for orthodontic care. We'll make sure you have a solid estimate of your cost before we begin any work, so you know just what to expect beforehand.

Who will benefit from short-term orthodontics?

Both adults and teens can benefit from short-term orthodontics. Your individual situation will determine if you're a good candidate for either Invisalign or Six Month Smiles. Dr. Despain and our team will go over all your options in detail, so you can decide what's best for you. In addition, our preventive orthodontics will address children's facial bone development in an effort to avoid braces later on.
