Today many patients are becoming conscious of their crooked teeth, but want to stay away from the more abrasive method of filing the tooth away to fit crowns or veneers.
Orthodontics in Stevenage is now increasingly popular with adult patients. This is because of the huge technological advances that have been made over the years. No longer do our patients have to spend years of their life with an unsightly fixed metal brace.
Invisible braces that are now available to you at Smilecraft can provide a solution to crooked teeth, without the conspicuous look of traditional teeth straightening treatments. What’s more they are often even faster at producing results than traditional fixed metal braces.
Six Month Smiles
At Smilecraft we use Six Month Smiles for our patient’s cosmetic orthodontic needs. This is a treatment that has been pioneered by an American dentist and is very popular in the USA. Six Month Smiles has taken the best aspects of fixed braces and adapted the treatment and materials to give adults a cosmetic solution that fit our patient’s lifestyles. As the name suggests the average treatment time is just 6 months. For some patients, it can take up to 9 months, while others can look forward to successful orthodontics in Stevenage in as little as 4 months.
There are regular milestones along the way, which will help us make sure your treatment is completed as quickly and efficiently as possible and to your satisfaction.
Will I need to wear a retainer?
Yes. This is usual with orthodontics in Stevenage. The retainer we provide is necessary for maintaining the new, straighter position of your teeth. You will have a choice between a removable retainer, the most popular option, or a fixed retainer attached to the backs of your teeth.
Can anyone have Six Month Smiles?
Unfortunately no. However they provide a great solution for adults and older teenagers with crooked or gappy teeth, who do not require a major alteration to their bite. In fact, the majority of adults we see with mild crowding or spacing between their teeth are suitable candidates for Six Month Smiles. So, why not give us a call to arrange your initial consultation with one of our experienced dental team.
