In years gone by, people who had orthodontic issues wore braces for 12, 24 even 36 months, but today, we can create amazing results in just six months, thanks to incredible orthodontic innovations, such as Six Month Smiles.
All about Six Month Smiles
If time is of the essence or you’re eager to impress at a wedding or a landmark birthday party, Six Month Smiles could be the ideal solution for you. This swift orthodontic system uses the latest technology to move the teeth rapidly, enabling you to show off a new smile in half the time of most other fixed brace treatments.
It’s understandable to wonder how this brace works so much faster than others and to assume that there must be some kind of catch. However, we can assure you that Six Month Smiles is every bit as impressive as it sounds. This system is able to achieve results quickly for two key reasons: firstly, it focuses on the front teeth only, as these are the teeth that are visible when you smile, and secondly, it uses state of the art technology to accelerate tooth movement.
What do Six Month Smile braces look like?
The good news for patients who are looking for speed and style is that Six Month smile braces are incredibly discreet. They are made from clear components and are fine and delicate, so you don’t need to worry about feeling self-conscious when you smile.
Is Six Month Smiles for me?
This system is designed to benefit patients who have minor to moderate issues that concern the front teeth. If you need a lot of movement or you have issues that involve the entire arch, other treatments may be recommended. When you have your consultation, your dentist will carry out some tests and checks to see if Six Month Smiles is a viable option. If this is not the best solution, your dentist will be happy to talk about other treatment options with you and explain the pros and cons of all the suitable treatments to help you make a decision.
At Clifton Dental Studio, we offer a host of brilliant braces to provide a solution to all your orthodontic needs. From removable clear aligners to fast-working fixed braces, we’ve got your orthodontic woes covered and we guarantee amazing results.
Our braces
We offer an array of cosmetic brace treatments, including the Inman Aligner, Invisalign and Six Month Smiles.
The Inman Aligner
The Inman Aligner is a removable aligner that is specially designed to correct minor issues with the front teeth. The aligner isn’t invisible like Invisalign aligners, but with an average treatment time of just 16 weeks, your brace will be off and your smile will be stunningly straight before you know it. The aligner is much more discreet than traditional fixed braces.
Invisalign
Invisalign is a clear aligner system that uses a collection of removable, custom-made appliances to straighten the teeth. The aligners work in an order, with each one worn for 2 weeks. They are clear and sit over the top of the teeth for an extremely discreet aesthetic. Invisalign is a very popular system, mainly because it offers the opportunity for patients to have treatment without anyone being able to see the brace. However, it also offers additional advantages, such as comfort and flexibility. With removable braces, you have the freedom to enjoy life as usual, with no worries about cleaning your teeth or getting food stuck in your brace when you’re enjoying dinner out.
Six Month Smiles
Six Month Smiles is an innovative fixed brace system, and takes just 6 months to correct misalignment and create a beautiful smile. These braces use state of the art technology and they are specifically targeted at patients who have problems with the front teeth. The wires are self-ligating and the brackets are light and clear so you can enjoy discreet aesthetics and painless treatment.

Everything you need to know about Six Month Smiles
Six Month Smiles is a modern take on the traditional fixed brace and it presents itself as an amazing option for patients who have issues with their front teeth. Traditionally, orthodontic treatment takes at least 12 months, but with this speedy treatment, you can enjoy your brand new smile in just 6 months.
Six Month Smiles braces cut treatment time by concentrating solely on the front teeth and using the latest technology, including specially designed self-ligating memory wires, to move the teeth quickly. This technology also helps to reduce friction, and therefore enhances comfort.
Six Month Smiles treatment
After your consultation, treatment can begin and we will fit your braces. Six Month Smiles are smaller and finer than traditional fixed braces and they are made from discreet components, including tooth-coloured wires and clear brackets, to produce more appealing aesthetics. Once your braces are on, you don’t have to do anything but keep them clean and attend your follow-up appointments; the braces will do all the hard work for you! Once treatment is complete and we are happy with the position of the teeth, we will take your braces off and you can have a good look at your beautiful smile.
After treatment, we provide retainers to help hold the teeth securely in position and reduce the risk of relapse.
