One of the most exciting developments in the world of Orthodontics is express treatment. Now, we can offer amazing results, with an anticipated treatment time of just 6 months, thanks to incredible treatments like 6 Month Smiles.
6 Month Smiles braces are an innovative fixed treatment that takes as little as 6 months to straighten the teeth and create a stunning new smile. This is around half the treatment time of conventional fixed brace treatment.
The ins and outs of 6 Month Smiles
6 Month Smiles is a fixed brace treatment specially designed for patients who have issues with the front teeth, also known as the social 6. This treatment is an ideal match for patients who are looking for a speedy solution for problems including crooked and crowded front teeth.
6 Month Smiles are able to move the teeth faster than other treatments because they use state of the art technology and focus solely on the front teeth, rather than the entire arch.
The speed of treatment is the main draw of this system, but there are numerous other benefits, including enhanced comfort and minimal pain, a simple and straightforward treatment process and discreet aesthetics. These braces contain clear brackets and tooth-coloured wires and they are much less noticeable than traditional metal fixed braces.
Who can benefit from 6 Month Smiles?
6 Month Smiles is suited to patients who have orthodontic issues with their front teeth. Treatment is not the best choice for those who need intensive treatment and a lot of movement, but we do have other solutions available for patients with more complex needs. 6 Month Smiles is a popular choice for patients who want quick results, for example, those preparing for weddings and special events and it is an excellent option for patients who want discretion but prefer the security of a fixed brace over an aligner treatment.
Orthodontic issues, such as crooked and crowded teeth, can make you feel less confident about your smile. However, there are some amazing treatments out there and patients can now get the smile of their dreams faster than ever before, thanks to innovative treatments like Six Month Smiles.
Everything you need to know about Six Month Smiles
Six Month Smiles is a fixed brace treatment, which delivers results very quickly. As you can probably guess from the name, this treatment straightens the teeth in just 6 months, around half the average time for conventional fixed brace treatment.
Six Month Smile braces work faster than other braces because they utilise the latest technology and focus on the social 6, which is the term given to the front teeth. By zoning in on these teeth, treatment time is cut and patients receive the level of treatment they need, rather than treatment that is more intensive for the complexity of their orthodontic issues.
Six Month Smiles is not an invisible brace system, but the braces are more aesthetically pleasing than most other fixed braces, as they are made from clear brackets and wires, which are designed to blend in with the natural colour of the teeth.
Who is a good match for Six Month Smiles?
Six Month Smiles is an ideal choice for patients who have minor or moderate issues that affect the social 6, such as mild crowding. It is also a really good option for patients who want results in a limited timeframe and is a popular choice for patients who are planning special occasions, such as weddings.
In some cases, 6 Month Smiles may not be the most suitable orthodontic treatment option; however, if this is the case, we can recommend alternatives and explore different treatments with you.
