Six month smile clinics in Chepstow

Six month smiles are a private dental clinic that offer orthodontic treatment in the form of fixed braces. The braces are subtly tooth coloured (including the wires) and target the front teeth for straightening only. The front 6 or 8 teeth only are revealed when your lips move apart in a smile, so the back molars really do not need to be straightened. As the treatment only focuses on a selection of your teeth, crooked teeth, gaps and misalignment can be corrected in less time than with traditional braces.

The first step is to find your local 6 month smile clinic near Chepstow and organise a consultation. You must ensure that the clinic is properly certified to provide 6 month smile braces and should be situated close to home or work as you will need to attend several appointment before your treatment is complete. A free 6 moth smile consultation is offered by some clinics and this will give the patient an opportunity to discuss the treatment with no obligations.

X-rays and photographs will be taken in your consultation so that your dentist can better examine your mouth and outline the results that he or she hope will be achieved by 6 month braces.

A mould will then be taken of your teeth, this is so the 6 month smile laboratory can fabricate a template that will direct the dentist in how to attach your brackets and wires properly to each tooth. However, if your dentist has had much experience, they may not need the template and may fit the braces straight away. This speed up treatment time as the laboratory can sometimes take up to 4 weeks.

Give it 6 months and you’ll be smiling in Swindon

So how do you fancy getting your teeth straightened in 6 months in Swindon? Because you can you know. The 6 Months Smile is a fantastic aligner that is steeped in the history of traditional metal braces, but it incorporates modern materials and methods to pull your teeth into shape. Once you are fitted with this mechanism, it’s in for the duration, but only for 6 months. The first thing you will notice about this aligner is that it sits very discreetly in the mouth, because the plates that sit on the teeth are tooth colored, as is the tightening wire. As the treatment goes along, you will pop into the dentist for adjustment regularly to keep the teeth on the move, to check how the device is working, and for a good clean, as fixed braces require extra vigilance when cleaning. The great thing about this device is that it can do very complex tooth alignment, such as when there are a lot of teeth to be tweaked or it can just pull in a few wayward teeth that have been a constant annoyance. Don’t be afraid to jump in with this device, because within only half a year, you can have the smile you always wanted- it truly is a worthy investment and with a good payment plan, it will hardly dent your weekly outgoings.

Getting your smile back in Chepstow

It’s in the title- 6 months smile and this wonderful little device can put the smile back into your life in Chepstow like it says it can. This device works like your traditional brace but with several twists to it. For a start, it doesn’t concentrate on pulling a whole lot of teeth into place in one go, but it will work on the odd one or two that have been annoying you most of your life. And because you have to pop yourself into the dentists chair every 4 weeks to ensure the brace is adjusted to keep the teeth on the move all the time, it makes the treatment fast. But unlike braces from bygone years that made you feel like you have just had a car crash when you look in the mirror, the 6 months smile is far more sympathetic in the way it sits in the mouth: you have to have ceramic plates fitted to your teeth and then a wire thread through each one. But these will be color coded to suit the color of your teeth, which makes them discreet in the mouth. The only problem that you may have with this device, as with any fixed brace that is fitted to the teeth is that of keeping it clean. You will, and you can get advice from your dentist about this, have to ensure that you remove any food from the mechanism to ensure that any bacteria is not allowed to grow around the wires and infect your gums and teeth. This may take a little practice at first, with dental floss and small brushes. But once you get the hang of it, you’ll be smiling in no time- 6 months in fact!!

Find out about the many braces options at Bristol dentist

If you are bored or embarrassed by your hair you can always go to the hairdressers or barbers to have it cut. The same if you want to change your wardrobe, you can go shopping. Looking our best is very important in this modern era where image is so important. But what about aspects of our appearance that we are unable to change so easily, like our teeth? Our smile is obviously a very important method of communicating and one that gives away so much about us so being uncomfortable or embarrassed about it can damage self-confidence and self-esteem.

However, there are ways of changing the appearance of your teeth that have been successfully proven to work for many years. Orthodontic teeth straightening using braces is capable of correcting even the most misaligned teeth using a system of wires, brackets and applied pressure. In recent years there has also been an explosion of new orthodontic straighteners that have aimed to improve on the few negative aspects of traditional braces.

Although braces have always been effective at straightening they did suffer from something of a lack of aesthetic quality. This meant that having to wear braces always came with something of a sacrifice in terms of appearance. Braces could also be slightly uncomfortable and caused irritation to the soft tissue in the mouth. They also needed to be regularly tightened which could be painful.

New braces such as the Six Month Smile and Invisalign aimed to address these problems providing patients with more discreet, more comfortable and shorter orthodontic straightening. You kind find out more about all the straightening options available to you at your Bristol dentist during your next check up appointment.

Beautiful smile fast with Six-Month Smile braces from Bristol dentist

One of the most exciting developments in orthodontic straightening in the last ten years has been the Six-Month Smile treatment. Offering straighter teeth in an incredible, and you’ve guessed it, six-months. This is a reduction of nearly 75 per cent on the average straightening time for more conventional straightening methods. The Six-Month Smile system also promises reduced levels of discomfort throughout the treatment, a major complaint from other brace wearers.

Six-Month Smile braces are able to achieve these incredible results by focusing more directly on teeth that can be seen when smiling. By using nickel-titanium wires, the brace repositions overcrowded and misaligned teeth. Because of the more focussed approach Six-Month Smile braces are ideally more suitable for patients with minor straightening issues. Some patients may require extractions and temporary metal braces prior to using the Six-Month Smile brace. Alternatively, for patients only requiring the ‘finishing touches’ to their teeth straightening the brace is ideally suited.

The wires used in the braces are tooth coloured and very thin. This makes the braces very discreet. In fact they are hardly noticeable unless standing very close to the patient’s mouth. This makes them ideal for more mature and professional people eager to avoid the stigma attached to fixed metal braces. Six-Month Smile braces are also completely removable, meaning they can be taken out when eating and for important professional or social engagements.

The braces require a ten to fifteen minute appointment each month to tighten the wires. This is a more gradual tightening regime than other braces and is therefore a lot more comfortable. It also means that your Bristol dentist will be able to keep a close eye on the progress of your teeth throughout the straightening process.

If your teeth require the finishing touch straightening power of the Six-Month Smile treatment, make an appointment to see a Bristol dentist and you could achieve the perfect smile you’ve always wanted.
