It is normal to find wearing braces a little odd at first, but you will soon get used to them.
Will I have to change what I eat? It’s true that eating certain types of foods can be difficult with braces, however you shouldn’t have to adapt your diet dramatically and you will soon get used to eating with your braces. For the first couple of days it is best to avoid chewy and hard foods.
How will I brush my teeth? You can still brush your teeth easily and effectively with braces and your dentist will show you how it’s done. With fixed braces, it’s a good idea to brush your teeth during the day as well as in the mornings and evenings, as food can get trapped in the brackets and bands.

One of the best things about Six Month Smiles is that it offers a discreet alternative to traditional fixed braces.

A 6 month smile is a discreet system of orthodontic braces which straightens out the front six to eight teeth. Most results are achieved after 6 months or so – hence the name. The front six to eight teeth are the ones which you display when you smile – hence the second part of the name! They are discreet because the use brackets and wires which are the same colour as your teeth. No-one need ever know you were wearing them.
The principle is simple but you will need to leave some room in your diaries for a few appointments. You need an initial consultation to discuss your unique requirements, then if you go for it, you’ll need to come back to get a mould of your teeth. Using this, the dentist at Clifton dental studio will make up a template to make sure the wires and brackets are on the best place for your teeth. If you are lucky, the some experienced dentists or orthodontists might be able to put the brackets in place without the need for a template. This is not a skill you should expect from everyone though!
When the braces start doing their job and your teeth start to move, you’ll need to make adjustments – to your braces as well as your life. Every 5-6 weeks your dentist can make changes and at the end the change will be permanent.
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.
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.
