Cosmetic braces are an excellent way to treat mild to moderate alignment issues with the front teeth. At Smilecraft Dental Care in Stevenage we offer treatment with the popular Six Month Smiles cosmetic brace system, which is designed to move your teeth:
- Quickly
- Gently
- and Discreetly.
Think you know braces? Think again
If, when you hear the word “braces” you get shivers at the thought of obvious metal appliances, you are not alone. Once upon a time, not so long ago, the only way to move teeth was by using such brace systems. Whilst they remain popular with teenagers, who enjoy being able to customise their braces with bands in their favourite colours, they are not particularly compatible with professional adult lifestyles.
That’s where cosmetic braces such as Six Month Smiles come in. There has been a great deal of research and investment in the field of orthodontics over the past three decades, and Six Month Smiles are now one of the UK’s most popular adult teeth straightening systems.
What Six Month Smiles braces do is take the traditional principles and mechanics of orthodontics, modernising and adapting them to create a discreet 21st Century teeth straightening solution. Gone are the obvious metal wires and brackets of traditional brace systems: Six Month Smiles comprise clear ceramic brackets and tooth-coloured nickel-titanium wires, meaning they blend in with the natural colour of your teeth.
As well as being discreet, Six Month Smiles are fast-acting. You have probably worked out from the name that the average treatment time is just half a year; some patients at our Stevenage dental practice only need to wear these braces for three months, in cases of mild correction. They work so quickly because they focus on the “social six” front teeth.
When you come into our Stevenage dental practice for a Six Month Smiles consultation, a fully accredited dentist will assess your suitability for this treatment. Six Month Smiles can help in cases of gappy, crooked, crowded and misaligned front teeth.
You will need to come into our Stevenage dental practice for check-ups and adjustments to your braces approximately once a month for the duration of treatment.
