Whatever type is used, braces always bring health as well as aesthetic benefits. At Smilecraft Dental Care in Stevenage, we offer discreet orthodontic treatment to adults, using the popular Six Month Smiles system of cosmetic braces.

When people think of orthodontic treatment, they usually picture metal train-track braces that remain popular with teenagers. Modern appliances offer customisation options, and many teens enjoy decorating their braces with elastics in the colours of their favourite football or rugby team. But it’s not hard to see why these obvious appliances are considered incompatible with a professional adult lifestyle, and can be a significant barrier to treatment.

Six Month Smiles are different. They are made of clear ceramic braces and tooth-coloured nickel-titanium wires, meaning that they blend in well with the natural colour of your teeth so that they are not instantly noticeable in everyday life.

At our Stevenage dental practice we believe in breaking down barriers to treatment so that everyone can enjoy the benefits of straighter teeth, which is why we use these discreet braces.

Six Month Smiles aren’t meant for major correction of issues affection your bite (the way that your jaws meet each other) but for rapid correction of mild to moderate alignment issues affecting the front teeth, these braces are the perfect choice.

Here at Smilecraft Dental Care in Stevenage we find that it is these teeth – the ones on display when you smile – that the majority of adults are concerned about.

Your journey towards straighter teeth begins with a consultation with a Six Month Smiles certified dentist at our Stevenage clinic. They will take photographs and impressions of your teeth so that your braces can be custom-made.

It’s worth noting that six months is actually the average treatment time, with some mild cases at our Stevenage dental practice being complete in half that time. They also use lower forces than standard appliances, thus are more comfortable.

Straightening your teeth helps to improve your dental hygiene, which will help to minimise your risk of gum disease and tooth decay, as long as you have an effective home brushing and flossing routine and visit your dentist and hygienist regularly.

Cosmetic braces provide a dentist with a fast, subtle, and effective method of straightening adult teeth. At Smilecraft Dental Care in Stevenage we have used the popular Six Month Smiles system of cosmetic braces to straighten the teeth of scores of happy patients.

No more metal braces

In the 21st Century, metal braces are not the only option for straightening teeth. Whilst they remain popular with children and teenagers, who enjoy the customisation options available with modern metal fixed appliances that enable them to use their brace as a fashion statement.

However, at our Stevenage dental practice, we appreciate that a fixed metal appliance can be a barrier to orthodontic treatment for many adults, because an obvious metal braceis not particularly compatible with a busy professional lifestyle.

Teeth straightening: the benefits

Straightening your teeth can have a positive impact on your body image and self-esteem, but did you know it will also benefit your dental and general health?

It’s not complicated, when you think about it. Properly aligned teeth are easier to keep clean, because there are fewer gaps in which food particles and dental plaque can build up. So long as you visit your dentist and hygienist regularly and have a good home routine of brushing and flossing, straightening your teeth with cosmetic braces can reduce your risk of tooth decay and gum disease.

Dental decay and gum disease are both leading causes of tooth loss, which can cause serious problems for your diet and your general health. Therefore, teeth straightening is a step in the right direction for your overall health and wellbeing.

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.
