At Montano Elevated Orthodontics, live life smiling is much more than a slogan. Its a promise Bakersfield Orthodontist Don Montano makes to our patients. We take this promise seriously because we believe your smile has the ability to change your life. We think about smiles 24/7/365 and believe that our experience makes your experience the best it can be.
Bakersfield Orthodontist Don Montano has consistently been voted Bakersfields best orthodontist. We are passionate about helping you achieve your very best smile so you can enjoy a big boost in confidence and health.
If you have questions about braces and Invisalign, you can find lots of helpful braces info here. We believe the only way for you to make the right decision for your treatment is to have the information you need and the right doctor to address any concerns and questions you may have.
A beautiful, healthy smile can enhance your quality of life no matter your age. In fact, we have patients as young as 5 and as old as 85! As your teeth, jaws, and lips become properly aligned with braces, youll find your self-esteem increases as you become more confident in your smile. In post-treatment photographs, we notice our patients with braces sit up straighter, are eager to smile and are more confident in their overall appearance.
Alleviating and preventing oral health problems is another important reason to get braces. Without orthodontic treatment, an individual may be more susceptible to tooth decay, gum disease, uneven and excessive tooth wear, bone destruction, chewing difficulties, jaw joint issues, speech impairments, airway issues, and dental injuries.
All children should see an orthodontist by the age of seven. This is the age when some of the first permanent teeth have erupted and the child can be examined for overbites, crowding, or cross bites. Early intervention is sometimes recommended because it may prevent more serious health problems down the line that might require surgery. Advantages of seeking early treatment may include reducing treatment time, alleviating thumb sucking habits, the possibility of avoiding jaw surgery or permanent tooth extraction and more.
The obvious reason many adults pursue orthodontic treatment with braces is for improved smile aesthetics. There are, however, numerous other incentives for improving ones smile later in life including improving overall oral health, eliminating uneven wear on teeth, reducing symptoms of temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD), reducing or stopping breakdown or loss of teeth and bone that supports the teeth and much more.

I appreciate that Mr. Montano took the time to see my daughter on the initial visit, examine her x-rays, and even gave us a consultation as to what the issues with her jaw and teeth were. Surprisingly, other doctors hadn't met with us personally to come up with an individual plan, but he did. Each patient's care caters to their specific needs. Our experience had been excellent and we highly recommend him to anyone seeking an orthodontist.

When it was time to find an orthodontist for my children, we first began with the approved list from our dental plan. After visiting a couple offices and not finding the perfect fit, we realized we would have to go out of network. We were referred to Dr. Montano by our dentist. During our first visit, we knew we had found the right place. We have been so happy with everything about Dr. Montano's office. The staff is always kind, friendly and helpful. The visits are super quick and we always leave knowing we were provided with the best care possible. My daughter just completed her final visit and the results were worth every single penny. :) I would highly recommend Dr. Montano Elevated Orthodontics!

I give Montano Elevated Orthodontics a five-star rating. I recently had my braces taken off, and I couldn't be happier with the results. In addition to taking the time to improve my grin and bite, the service there is outstanding. Excellent customer service; they take the time to listen to your worries and to fully explain everything, making you feel at ease. The person who cared for me during the final months I had braces on was named Corina. She listened to all of my concerns and had the patience to delay brace removal time after time due to the concerns I had. She made sure to address any questions I had after my braces were removed. If your thinking of changing your smile I would recommend Montano Orthodontics.

Since my husband and I were both treated by Dr. Montano as kids, it was a no brainer that he would treat our children as well. My daughter's case is special since she has missing lateral incisors. Dr. Montano and his staff was very thorough in how we were going to address her issues. Today she got her braces off and we are so happy with the results. Even though it will be a lengthy process for her smile to be complete with implants and bone grafts, Dr. Montano led us to the correct specialists and reassured us that her smile will be perfect. I wouldn't trust anyone else to treat her especially with her "unique" situation. Thank you Dr. Montano and staff!!!

Just finished up a "tune-up" series of Invisalign trays with Dr. Montano. I had an Invisalign treatment some 10 years ago through my dentist and had some teeth shift a bit since then. Don is a personal friend and also worked with my son using more traditional braces with fantastic results. I am very pleased with the results, and quite frankly wouldn't recommend anyone else who is considering orthodontic treatment. He's a perfectionist, and his office offers friendly, outstanding service and care. 5 Stars. Thanks!

Montano Elevated Orthodontics is pretty amazing, and I'm glad I entrusted them with my Invisalign treatment. As this was an important self-investment, I'm glad Dr. Montano and all the staff had my best interests in mind and was very accommodating. The technology and expertise of the practice were excellent, and I recommend it for anyone who looks to start Invisalign.

I did Invisalign. The at home scans and progress tracking was so convenient since I work full time. I love my new smile. Staff were all friendly and helpful.

I was unsure about doing this at first but decided to go and see what my options would be after the great work they did with my siblings (invisalign and braces). The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. I was also between switching health insurances, and they were super helpful with how to move forward. I'm also going to school in Oregon but wanted to do treatment here as I plan to be here during large school breaks and post schooling. This wasn't a problem for them at all and they were very flexible with this. Definitely recommend them to folks and those considering to go in and learn about your options!

I had a GREAT experience here at Montano Elevated Orthodontics!! For a long time I was insecure about my smile and I decided to change that and was referred here by a family member. I heard wonderful things right from the start and when I went in for my first appointment I understood why. The staff is so helpful, amazing and so friendly! Montano Elevated Orthodontics made my teeth improvement treatment all worth it! Would definitely recommend coming here if you are looking to improve your smile!!
