Six Month Smiles uses clear brackets and tooth-coloured wires to give patients a more subtle and discreet braces experience. Designed to get to work in just six months, Six Month Smiles also offers patients a much faster route to the straight smile they’ve been looking for.
You’ll be fitted for your braces here at the practice, and come back in to have the wires adjusted every two weeks. This is to ensure the teeth are moving in the right direction and so that we can be sure you’ll receive your new, straighter smile in the projected timeline.
No, unlike aligner treatments, Six Month Smiles are fixed to the teeth for the duration of the period and can only be removed by your dentist.
Like all fixed braces, Six Month Smiles can be uncomfortable, especially when first wearing them. It can take some time to get used to the experience of wearing them, but after a while you should be used to the sensation.
As the name suggests, this treatment is usually completed in just six months, but can sometimes take up to nine months or more in some cases.
We always recommend retainers after orthodontic treatment. This is so we can be sure your teeth will remain in their new position and that you maintain your happier, straighter smile!
