At Stevenage dental practice Smilecraft, we are seeing an increasing number of patients who are interested in straightening their teeth with Six Month Smiles.
What are Six Month Smiles?
Six Month Smiles are cosmetic braces that are designed to move your teeth both quickly and discreetly. They are the perfect choice for adults who require mild or moderate orthodontic intervention, but who understandably have no desire to wear traditional metal braces, which are not particularly compatible with busy adult professional and personal lives.
Comprising clear ceramic brackets and tooth-coloured nickel-titanium wires, Six Month Smiles have an average treatment time of half a year. They work so quickly because they are not intended for major alterations to the bite. Instead, they focus on the front six to ten teeth that show when you smile.
It should be noted that six months is the average treatment time. Some patients at our Stevenage dental practice see results in less time, and the vast majority of cases are complete within a nine-month timeframe.
What orthodontic issues can Six Month Smiles rectify?
A number of mild to moderate orthodontic conditions can be treated successfully with Six Month Smiles. If you have gappy, crooked, or crowded teeth, or a mildly misaligned bite, why not book a consultation with a Six Month Smiles certified dentist at our Stevenage practice to find out how they could help you?
These braces are generally considered more comfortable than standard orthodontic appliances, and because of the considerably shortened treatment times, they are also a lot more cost-effective than other orthodontic options, including some other cosmetic orthodontic products.
Remember that straighter teeth are usually healthier teeth. With fewer gaps and spaces for food particles to become trapped and plaque bacteria to build up, meaning your chances of gum disease – with regular dentist and hygienist visits, of course!
