Six Month Smiles is a clear braces system designed to straighten the teeth in about six months. This is an effective and affordable solution that fits a busy lifestyle. It achieves speedy results for it is focused on tackling cosmetic problems and straightening the front teeth.
Many adults spend their entire lives covering their mouths when they laugh, smile or talk. They feel stuck because they do not want to wear adult metal braces for years or they are concerned that other corrective teeth straightening procedures could be too invasive or too expensive. But Six Month Smiles has clear brackets and tooth-coloured wires, which blend inconspicuously with the teeth.
One of the biggest challenges for Six Month Smiles is that sometimes patients are not made aware of the limitations of the braces, so their expectations exceed their results. In these cases, the only option is to undergo treatment for a second time. This is why informed consent is so important, and we make sure our patients are fully aware of all the options before they make a decision.
The braces are not invisible, but they are very discreet, with inconspicuous clear brackets that are connected using a tooth-coloured wire. It is this ‘memory shape’ wire that gently guides your teeth into their new position, gradually revealing a straighter and more confident smile.
Most cases are completed in around six months, but treatment times can vary between four and nine months. A more accurate idea of how long your treatment should take can be given once you visit our dental centre.
