Discover cutting edge Six Month Smile treatment at Swindon dentist

There is little doubt that orthodontic braces are the best way to treat misaligned teeth. However, traditional braces are seen by many to be a rather ugly and uncomfortable way to straighten teeth. Fortunately, a more modern approach to teeth straightening has been taken by Six Month Smile braces. They have taken all the best aspects of conventional braces and made adjustments to make them a more sensible and less invasive alternative.

The most significant difference between Six Month braces and traditional ‘train-track’ braces is the time of treatment. Regular orthodontic treatment takes on average between sixteen and eighteen months. Six Month Smile braces are able to achieve the same results in as little as six (that’s right, it does exactly what it says on the tin, so to speak).

Six Month Smile brace are also manufactured using clear brackets and tooth coloured wires to lessen the visual effect of braces, one of the most common complaints with fixed-metal braces. The unseemly appearance of metal brackets and wires can put many people off wearing braces to straighten their teeth, so this more modern approach is proving to be very popular.

Six Month braces also produce a very predictable result. Unlike some other braces where the final appearance of the teeth may vary, Six Month braces produce very accurate and controllable final results. They also use lower forces and are more hygienic which means they cause less discomfort and long-term damage to the teeth. Possibly most pleasingly, they are also cheaper than most other orthodontic treatments. Dentists in Swindon are on hand to give you more information about Six Month Smile braces at your next appointment.

Discover the incredible possibilities of modern braces at Bath dentist

Braces are becoming ever more popular for straightening teeth in the UK. In an age when appearances matter more then ever, being comfortable with you teeth and your smile is very important for retaining confidence and self-esteem. Having misaligned or crooked teeth can be difficult and cause many patients, especially those in their difficult teenage years, to feel slightly embarrassed.

Orthodontic braces have been used for many years by Bath dentists but they are now more widely available to all patients, and also more affordable. There are a number of different types of treatments to choose from which vary in price, duration of treatment, visual impact and comfort. Many people are unaware of the choice on offer, believing the traditional fixed metal braces to be the only option.

For patients wishing to disguise the fact they have braces, there is Invisalign. These clear plastic braces are almost impossible to see when in the mouth. This means that patients can go about their lives not having to feel self-conscious about their braces. They are also completely removable making them ideal for patients who may need to remove them for important business or social occasions.

As well as invisible braces, there are also braces with a significantly reduced visual impact. Treatments such as Damon braces and Six Month Smile use clear brackets and tooth coloured wires to lessen the appearance of braces. They are also both more comfortable causing far less irritation to the soft tissue of the mouth.

The most impressive improvement in virtually all orthodontic treatments is the duration. Most traditional brace treatments last between sixteen and eighteen months (they can even be longer) but the more modern braces and aligners can achieve results in only a fraction of that time, in some cases as much as 75% faster. Ask your dentist about the possibilities of modern braces.
