There once was a time when orthodontic treatment took at least a year, but now, thanks to amazing advances in technology, we can offer you a brand new, straight smile in just six months! Whether you’re preparing for a special event or you just can’t wait to show off the results of treatment, Six Month Smiles could be the ideal solution for you.
Everything you need to know about 6 Month Smiles
6 Month Smiles is a fixed brace system, but it has major differences to traditional fixed orthodontics. These braces use state of the art self-ligating technology to speed up tooth movement and reduce pain and they also concentrate on the social 6, rather than the full arch, which also cuts treatment time. The social 6 is the term used to describe the front six teeth on the top and bottom arches, which can be clearly seen when you smile.
As these braces focus on the front teeth, they are not suitable for everyone; however, they are a great choice for patients who have issues, such as mild crowding of the front teeth, crooked front teeth or small gaps between the teeth at the front of the mouth.
What are the advantages of 6 Month Smiles?
The most obvious advantage of this treatment is the speed; normally, treatment with fixed braces takes at least 12 months, but this system produces results in half the time. The braces are also designed with discretion in mind, as they contain clear brackets and tooth-coloured wires, so they are much less noticeable than normal train-track braces.
The technology used in this system is not just responsible for reduced treatment time, it also makes treatment more comfortable.
As patients can enjoy results so rapidly, this is a very popular choice for people who have a special occasion, such as a wedding, in mind.
