WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Testimonials

i had a hole in my tooth for a few months, they got me in as soon as they could and did an amazing job! He fixed my two teeth and well it was getting fixed he spotted another cavity and fixed it right up! it looks great, feels normal, and he even checked how flossing would go and fixed it up so flossing would be easier! best dentist i’ve ever been to, super friendly receptionist and amazing co dentists and the Dr was all about making sure i didn’t have to get a root canal. Super friendly and straight to the point. Even paying out of pocket with no insurance it wasn’t too expensive, especially for how much of an amazing job he did! Thank you guys for taking care of me and making sure i understand everything! i will definitely be back as a regular

EJ Doe★★★★★

Dr. Shibko outlined the same plan that my dentist of twenty years in another state had, but I waited on until I came to Minnesota. Same plan, pure professionalism. He carried out the plan with excellent care, using a soft touch and minimal discomfort. Dr. Shibko is a caring, highly trained person who I would trust my children with. Amanda was his assistant and was personable and relaxing. . She is also very professional and caring.

John D.★★★★★

They put me into their busy schedule because I was in pain. The dentist and staff were all very nice and made me feel like I am important. That was the first time I had ever been there. First time impression is the key to go back or not. I was very impressed and I have another appointment in February. They are honest and very good. I totally recommend going there!!

FAQs

Q: How can teeth be straightened in only six months?

A: The Six Month Smiles® technique employs the latest technology and techniques in dentistry to move your teeth quickly and safely. The key components of the treatment are the use of special nickel titanium wires and a primary focus of moving the teeth that show when you smile.

Q: Six months sounds good, but will I still have a mouth full of metal for the whole time?

A: No! Six Month Smiles uses clear braces that are barely visible to gently straighten your teeth.

Q: How are Six Month Smiles® more comfortable than regular braces?

A:Six Month Smiles® use low force to move teeth more comfortably. Many people think that the accelerated treatment means simply “tightening” regular braces to get the teeth moving, but that is not true. Six Month Smiles® utilizes standard orthodontic mechanics, but with an emphasis on the cosmetic appearance of your teeth rather than the position of your bite.

Q: Do Six Month Smiles® braces damage the teeth, roots, or gums?

A: There are no more risks of root damage or other issues than those associated with traditional orthodontics. Since the forces used with Six Month Smiles® braces are lighter and teeth are seldom extracted, there are actually even fewer risks involved with Six Month Smiles® orthodontics.

Q: Will I have to wear a retainer?

A: Yes, as with any teeth-straightening treatment a retainer is necessary to maintain the straighter position of your teeth. If you don’t want to wear a removable retainer, a bonded retainer can be placed for you by us. There are a variety of options that you can choose from according to your personal preference and situation.

Q: What's the catch?

A:There is no catch. If you are an adult (15 years and older) with crooked or spaced teeth and you’re not looking for a major alteration to your bite, this could be the solution for you! Most adults ARE candidates for Six Month Smiles.
