Donald R Montano, DDS, MSD, A Professional
At Montano Elevated Orthodontics, we believe your smile has the power to lift your spirit and change your life. We believe everyone deserves to feel as excited while they're in treatment as they do when their treatment is complete. Creating the perfect smile requires an artistic touch. Beautiful, healthy smiles aren't just defined by straight teeth, but by the relationship between the smile and the rest of the face.

At Montano Elevated Orthodontics, our focus on facial balance and symmetry is one of the reasons we've consistently been voted Bakersfield's Best Orthodontist. We are not your typical orthodontic practice. Our open-concept space is designed to maximize your comfort by making you feel right at home.
Services
At Montano Elevated Orthodontics, "live life smiling" is much more than a slogan. It's 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.
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.
Metal braces like these are some of the most common types of braces and are more comfortable and faster-acting today than ever before. Dr. Montano uses the lowest profile braces available, resulting in maximum comfort for the lips and cheeks. Made of high-grade stainless steel, these braces were carefully selected by Dr. Montano because they allow them to straighten your teeth and bite with exceptional precision and accuracy.
The permanent first molars and incisors have usually erupted by this time and the child can be evaluated for any overbites, cross bites, or crowding that may be present. By seeing them this young, Dr. Montano is able to determine if early orthopedic intervention (braces for kids) is needed to guide the growth of the jaws which may prevent serious problems that could require jaw surgery if treated at a later age.
Braces for teens are as common as school tests and going to the movies with friends. While we treat people of all ages at Montano Elevated Orthodontics, a day never goes by without many teenage patients stopping by our office. Many patients looking for information on braces for teens are excited at the prospect of showing off a happy, healthy new smile, while others come to us with questions about how braces will impact their day-to-day lives.

My experience at Dr.Montano has been amazing. When I first took off my braces I was very pleased with my results. I use to have a hard time smiling in public but after Dr.Montana’s services I am now able to show off my beautiful smile. I highly recommend this orthodontist for not all for their amazing results but because of their environment. Everyone is very kind and professional.

I came to Montano Orthodontics because a family member recommended it. I started my Invisalign treatment with them about February 2020 and just finished November 2021. The pandemic definitely set me back a bit, but nothing too bad. My teeth were not very bad to begin with, I had a lot of spacing issues but now that is all gone. I use to cover my mouth while laughing because I was embarrassed of my smile, but not anymore. Thanks to Montano Orthodontics. Overall everyone is friendly and if you have questions, they are easy to make contact with, whether it be text or phone call.

Dr. Montano and his team are the best. I started my treatment with Dr. Montano right after I had a treatment and my braces off by a different orthodontist. Dr. Montano is seriously the best, he fixed all the mistakes the other orthodontics did to my teeth and bite and now I’m very satisfied with my smile thanks to his work.
The scheduling and appointments were smooth, I never had to wait long to be taken in and the staff was very friendly and professional. The place is very clean and well maintained.
I definitely recommend Dr. Montano!
